Mr. McDuck Posted August 21, 2015 Posted August 21, 2015 The town of Lapidis Lapidis by Angelo S., on Flickr Founded on the estuary of Adamas river, the town of Lapidis has stood as a last trading post of the capitol on the route to the sea. Its houses and squares carved for generations in solid rock cliffs have proved hard to conquer by the Empier's enemies for centuries thanks to narrow passages which make defense easy for the locals. In time of need, there is landlord's castle nearby on the cape which is protected by multiple gates which provides sanctuary to citizens and in case of an attack from sea, harbour chain can be raised to block the advance of the enemy ships. Other than trade, citizens heavily rely on fishing and the town's inn is famous trought the Empire for its exquisite pie and southern wine. Today, as usaul, many things are happening in Lapidis. King's guard arrived to capture the infamous smuggler, Blueberry mercenary company came to meet their employee and get a slice of that tasty pie at the inn and famed brother and sister heroes arrived to get their blades sharpened and supplies refilled! And today is one of more boring days, but truth be told, it is sill early inf the morning! Lapidis by Angelo S., on Flickr Lapidis - details 01 by Angelo S., on Flickr Lapidis - details 02 by Angelo S., on Flickr Lapidis - details 03 by Angelo S., on Flickr Lapidis - details 04 by Angelo S., on Flickr Lapidis - details 05 by Angelo S., on Flickr Lapidis - details 06 by Angelo S., on Flickr So this build measures 96x80 and is consisted of 9 sections. I do not know about the part count but it decimated my entire collection so it probably has no less than 15 000 parts (but it probably has more) It took me 4 months to build and much of that time was actually spent waiting for parts and doing work for school (because I did not have much time to build) This would be my first real diorama I made on my own and I am really proud of it! I wanted it to have a Mediterranean feel to it and not to be same as other castle creations we see on the internet I think I managed to achieve that. See the album on Flickr: https://www.flickr.c...157657547770112 And there are a couple more pictures on MOCpages, so be sure to check there too: http://www.mocpages.com/moc.php/418232 Hope you like it! C&C welcome and greatly appreciated! Quote
BrickJagger Posted August 21, 2015 Posted August 21, 2015 Very impressive. I love those buildings. Quote
Graham Gidman Posted August 21, 2015 Posted August 21, 2015 Holy cow... There are few words to describe how much I love this... Quote
Legocity2713 Posted August 21, 2015 Posted August 21, 2015 (edited) My God, what an impressive build! Detailed, clean looking and just overall eye-pleasing. Keep up the great work my friend, hope to see more from such a talented builder. (By the way, I notice you're from Croatia. My entire is from there, I'm a first generation Croatian American and proud of my heritage. Ljepo je vidjeti još jednog Hrvatski Lego obožavatelj!) Also: 1,000th post.

BrickCurve Posted August 21, 2015 Posted August 21, 2015 This looks great! You should consider joining GoH. Quote
rodiziorobs Posted August 22, 2015 Posted August 22, 2015 I love the way all the stairs and terraces weave among the great rockwork and buildings, especially when everything is placed at odd angles. It all works together very nicely; fantastic work you've done here! Quote
Dubbadgrim Posted August 22, 2015 Posted August 22, 2015 I think my favourite aspect of this town is the variety of house colours, and all of the different elevation really brings it to life too! Quote
Khorne Posted August 22, 2015 Posted August 22, 2015 Wow, really great build! I especially like those docks you made. The shape is special, not your average boardwalks. The houses built into the rocks make me think of Markath from Skyrim a bit . Quote
Mr. McDuck Posted August 22, 2015 Author Posted August 22, 2015 Thank you all for kind comments! I am really glad you like it so much! My God, what an impressive build!

Yup, getting parts is a bit more expensive but there's quite a bit LEGO fans in Croatia, we have a LUG too! (zove se "Klub Kockice" ako te zanima) This looks great! You should consider joining GoH. I'll conisider it for sure I hope to get a few more castle figures before that, as this right here is pretty much my entire castle figure colection, so far. Quote
LegoPercyJ Posted August 22, 2015 Posted August 22, 2015 WOW! This is simply stunning! Great job! Quote

soccerkid6 Posted August 22, 2015 Posted August 22, 2015 Oooh, this is a beauty You definitely captured an extremely unique medieval look, and I love the result! The layout is superb with so many buildings, many at off the grid angles or incorporated into the cliff Lots of wonderful house designs too. Congratulations on such a stunning MOC Quote
