MrBrick&BoB Posted January 19, 2010 Posted January 19, 2010 This is absolutly great. I wonder if the construction is a bit unsteady with this many, little round plates? Have you inserted in the house a strengthening of the walls? Or is there an interior, too? Quote
Derfel Cadarn Posted January 19, 2010 Author Posted January 19, 2010 Thanks for all the great comments. I really wanted this moc to have a overgrown countryside feel to it, and im pleased with how it turned out. Ive settled on a final plan for the whole project which is as follows. To start, ive opted to choose the more fantasy well known version of the Arthur theme. Unfortunatly, if a real Arthur did exist, he would not have lived in a many towered castle but in a earth mound fort with wooden fighting platforms and a leaky wooden feasting hall. There would have been no knights in shining armour because knight didnt even exist then, they would have been very feral looking celtic warriors, and there would have been no round table, Lancelot, Merlin, Holy Grail etc. So as you can see, the fantasy version is far more fun to build. I have planned for 16 modules including the church, and each module will be the same 80x80 stud square size. These will be layed out in rows of 4, with the front 8 comprising of the church, village and countryside, and the back 8 focusing on the castle and town. As you can imagine, this is a very daunting, time consuming and expensive task . If i dismantled my pirate mocs i'd have enuff parts to build 4 maybe 5 of these modules, but then i'd be wiped out of bricks. It would take a good few years to amass the bricks to complete this task and i dont want to wait ages without building anything while i try to get all the parts. So i have thought up a way to get round this. I have taken lots of pics of this moc and recorded how it basicly all goes together, this means i can now dismantle it and keep doing this process as i will keep a detailed assement of each moc so i can go back and rebuild them as the parts become availible to me. Although i will only be dismantling the landscapes, as i hqve plenty enough pieces to be able to keep the church and other buildings intact. Hopefully by the end of this year i will have pictures of at least the front 8 modules which i can put together to give you a idea on where they will be placed and how it will look when their all built. Then hopefully next year i should have bought enough pieces to build them and hopefully get them to a Lego show for a castle display. So, thats the plan, i will begin work on module 2 next week. Sorry for the length of the speach Thanks again for the comments DC Quote
