Apple Pi Posted February 26, 2012 Posted February 26, 2012 Hi everyone! This is my first topic here! I want to show you my lastes creation, called Fortaleza de Lyon (in english: Lyon Fortress). I made this as my entry to the brazillian community monthly challenge. It's a high fortified mansion, situated near a mountain. It's by far the biggest creation I've ever made and it took a lot of time! I won't keep writing, because my english is very limited, so here are the pics! Hope you like it! Here's the house in detail: Lights off and then on! Well, that's it! You can see all these pictures and some more in my Flickr (PedroPolo it's me!) Please, C & C are very welcome! And can someone give me any tips on photography? It was very hard to take good pics, because is a very large MOC (its 64 x 64 studs)! Quote
JackJonespaw Posted February 26, 2012 Posted February 26, 2012 Wow...this is fantastic. Good detailing and building! Quote
brickmack Posted February 27, 2012 Posted February 27, 2012 Looks nice. I like the slight angle of the outer wall at the gate, it's a nice touch. The interior of the building looks good also. Quote
DawnCrusader Posted February 27, 2012 Posted February 27, 2012 Great work Apple Pi :) Love the wall, the landscape, the mansion and it's interior... Really, awesome MOC! The only *little* thing that bugs me is the colour you used for the top floor of the mansion (dark yellow?). Quote
Vindicare Posted February 27, 2012 Posted February 27, 2012 Wow, way to come out swinging. This is great. The wall is cool and I like the entry. The angled drawbridge is a nice touch. The landscape is well done too. I like how you situated a balcony. The lord looking over all his land while being well fortified. Quote
morganm Posted February 27, 2012 Posted February 27, 2012 Oh man that's suck an awesome build! I love how it all comes apart for easy access. To me that's a HUGE feature that also requires even more thought put into the build process. It's easy to focus in on details but the details of the stone walls and vegetation really make it interesting at a distance. Quote
CptMugwash Posted February 27, 2012 Posted February 27, 2012 Great build! The landscaping is great, the building is wonderful, I like how you've done the fireplace and with a light up brick, bravo. My favourite part is the angled drawbridge. The Lord must be very wealthy to have such a place. Bem feito! Quote
Apple Pi Posted February 27, 2012 Author Posted February 27, 2012 Thanks evryone for the compliment! Quote
Gabe Posted February 29, 2012 Posted February 29, 2012 Great work! Lots of detail and lovely little touches. The riverbank scene is very nice (although what is that teddy bear doing? Is it... a dropbear?? ), the 1x1 rounds look great at the base of the castle wall (a use i haven't seen before)and the angled gate and drawbridge is seamlessly done. Love the modularity of the fortified mansion too! Quote
mephistopheles Posted February 29, 2012 Posted February 29, 2012 This is an amazing build! I love modular buildings with interiors. This is a real inspiration for my MOC! btw: your English is perfectly fine! Quote
Apple Pi Posted March 1, 2012 Author Posted March 1, 2012 Thanks again for the nice compliments people! @gabe Yeah, I was inspired by Derfel's round bricks style to make that wall! Quote
Jack Bricker Posted March 1, 2012 Posted March 1, 2012 (edited) Absolutely gorgeous! I cannot wait until I can afford to build something like that. I am really impressed with the river and house especially. The detail is just stunning and really brings the MOC to life. Great job, and I hope to see more or your castles in the future!

LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted March 2, 2012 Posted March 2, 2012 Wow this work let me speechless! The river side looks so natural ...and so real! The internal details are awesome: the pit, the drawbridge and those beautiful home furnishings. I like the perfect choice of colors! Quote
SirSven7 Posted March 2, 2012 Posted March 2, 2012 This is a brilliant build, I have a load of tan bricks I never use (left over from you adventurer days with jonney thunder) I will definatly be adding them to my walls now. Great job Quote
Apple Pi Posted March 6, 2012 Author Posted March 6, 2012 Thanks again people! Im really happy that my creation had this repercution Quote
ShaydDeGrai Posted March 6, 2012 Posted March 6, 2012 Beautiful work. I particularly like the angle of the gate wall, the stepped walkway at the top of the battlement and the landscaping around the moat/river. Very nice job! Quote
Ecclesiastes Posted March 6, 2012 Posted March 6, 2012 Great work, lots of details and the interior is very nice! Quote
Maxim I Posted March 8, 2012 Posted March 8, 2012 Really beautiful building!!! Great job with the colours and detailing Quote
Zibdas Posted March 17, 2012 Posted March 17, 2012 That is... just wow. All kinds of amazing. Gotta love that chimpanzeee chilling in the walls, especially. Quote
Donut Posted March 17, 2012 Posted March 17, 2012 Lovely creation, I love the details you put into the interior. The foliage outside the castle walls has a nice touch to it. Excellent stuff and I hope to see more of your works! Quote
Mencot Posted March 18, 2012 Posted March 18, 2012 Altough I have commented on this over at CC, I will comment on your moc here too. Very good, I still love that yellow part of the manorbuilding. Awesome work, can't wait to see more of your creations Pedro. Quote
