juergs Posted March 29, 2010 Posted March 29, 2010 (edited) Whatup Guys. This weekend, I thought I'd give a 32x32 castle a shot, even though I really didn't think I had the pieces. I ran painfully low towards the end, but I was pleased with the end result. I thought I'd throw up a few photos, despite my notoriously terrible photographs. Here's Juergeburg: (EDIT: I decided to resize my pics, and I actually replaced them with better ones this afternoon) tell me what you think!

Calanon Posted March 29, 2010 Posted March 29, 2010 It looks pretty good from what I can see and how small it is, and I like the windows on the front. Is there any interior? Lift-off floors would be quite nice. I'd also recommend throwing in some dark grey and arrow slits in the walls to break it up a bit so that it is more interesting. Possibly add some braziers on top of the walls? I'd love to see it with more troops too. Quote
Santhor Posted March 29, 2010 Posted March 29, 2010 Very nice castle! Love the SNOT on the battlements and the brick built textured windows. Keep making more like this! Quote
juergs Posted March 29, 2010 Author Posted March 29, 2010 Is there any interior? Haha, there is an interior, but I sort of entombed it in the construction process. The inside is very complex, and many of my pieces are old and frail, so I thought it would be best to sacrifice playability for stability Quote

The inside is very complex, and many of my pieces are old and frail, so I thought it would be best to sacrifice playability for stability It's a bit plain, but seems really good for being short on parts. I have tens of thousands of LEGO pieces, not including those I have in sets, and I still couldn't build something like that because I guess I have too much of a variety of pieces. With all my pieces, I could barely build the 16 stud wide modular wall from the community build (in the correct colors), so you've got my kudos for this very nice castle MOC. You even managed to squeeze in a few nice details on the outside (the plants and barrel). Quote
Sir Dillon Posted March 29, 2010 Posted March 29, 2010 Hello Juergs, your castle looks nice but your images are way too large. I've changed the pictures to links and added a warning for people with slower connections. Please don't embed images much larger than 800 x 600. If you don't know how to resize pictures, there are some tutorials here: [link] Quote
gormadoc Posted March 30, 2010 Posted March 30, 2010 (edited) I t looks like one of the early medieval Scottish castles, as they were a solid form due to a low supply of the stone required. Good design and splendid little build. Edited March 30, 2010 by gormadoc Quote
Big Cam Posted March 30, 2010 Posted March 30, 2010 I think it's a good looking castle, and I like the walkway that's up top. I could see this in a forest setting somewhere. Quote
