Berthil Posted November 28, 2023 Posted November 28, 2023 (edited) My first post here as it is my first Historic build. This is a remake of 70840 Welcome to Apocalypseburg into a Castle theme for a LUG competition (LowLUG, Dutch). After the dust of medieval wars has settled, all that remained were the King Arthur’s Lion Knights and the momument they had build out of the ruins. Excalibur, King Arthur’s tomb, armory shop, blacksmith, torture room, pig farm, watch tower, archery shooting range and hidden real Excalibur is what is left. The old Kings carriage now serves as a chicken run. King Arthur has all of his fingers, Lady Liberty was missing some. An elevator moves up and down Excalibur, the target in the shooting range moves forward and backward. The watch tower and Kings tomb are removable. Video with more details: I have created free building instruction for these 6000 parts, enjoy!https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-165470/Berthil/excaliburburg/ Edited November 29, 2023 by Berthil Link to free instructions added.

Yperio_Bricks Posted November 29, 2023 Posted November 29, 2023 That's ingenius! So good, i have no words. The king's head, the crown, the chainmail, love it Quote
zoth33 Posted November 29, 2023 Posted November 29, 2023 What an awesome idea. I really like the king and the sword. Some nice details in here with the hidden doors and all the moving parts. Quote
eric_son_of_joseph Posted November 29, 2023 Posted November 29, 2023 Very cool, thank you for sharing it. I enjoyed the video and wouldn't mind seeing more photos. Quote
GeoBrick Posted November 29, 2023 Posted November 29, 2023 A beatiful twist, and excellent homage to the original set. Especiallly the chain mail is golden. Though the castle around the statue doesn't exactly look "ruined". Quote
Berthil Posted November 29, 2023 Author Posted November 29, 2023 Thank you all! The free building instructions are up:https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-165470/Berthil/excaliburburg/ Quote
Lyichir Posted December 4, 2023 Posted December 4, 2023 Absolutely INCREDIBLE MOC! You've managed to "medievalize" pretty much every detail of the original set—no small feat since the original set is one that's huge and packed with detail! I love the use of metallic parts for the sword, the amazing techniques for the chain mail on the large statue, the clever chain-driven lift... the list goes on and on! Quote
SirBlake Posted December 5, 2023 Posted December 5, 2023 Holy cow! Not only is this an amazing concept deftly executed, but that is one of the better looking large scale swords I've ever seen. Love it! Quote
