Norro Posted November 7, 2006 Posted November 7, 2006 I was reading the spongebob MOC topic (here) when I saw this amazing MOC in the same gallery: Beautiful! God Bless, Nathan Quote
Kikuichimonji Posted November 7, 2006 Posted November 7, 2006 I'm pretty sure I've seen that in real life. It's huge, but it really isn't that impressive when you stand in front of it. Still, that must've taken a lot of work and bricks. Respect to whoever built it. Quote
jamtf Posted November 8, 2006 Posted November 8, 2006 I have seen it for real last month at Legoworld Holland 2006, basically some sort of European brickfest. It is a huge castle with nice scenery. It was occupied by all sorts of Belville size figs. I have even spoken to the builder (in yellow "De Bouwsteen" shirt). Nice build with lots of tan and old grey bricks and no wall pieces. Quote
oo7 Posted November 8, 2006 Posted November 8, 2006 That's the only picture? *sing* It looks great but does anyone know where I could find more? Quote
bruce n h Posted November 9, 2006 Posted November 9, 2006 That's by Leo Vermeulen. He's been working on this over the past several years and has displayed it at various fests like LEGO World, I think maybe 1000SteineLand, and I think he even brought a piece of it across the Atlantic to Brickfest a couple of years ago. Here are some more pics from LW2006, but also check out Leo's Brickshelf gallery for more pics of his castle over the years. Notice that this is built at BELVILLE SCALE (!). Not a lot of builders able to commit to building full creations at that scale. Bruce Quote
Norro Posted November 9, 2006 Author Posted November 9, 2006 Thanks for the links Bruce! Good to see your amazing wealth of knowledge covers such far reaches of the online lego world... ;-) God Bless, Nathan Quote
christopher110 Posted November 12, 2006 Posted November 12, 2006 i would never b able to build something like that......... :'-( It's so huge, time- and bricks- consuming....... Amazing Quote
WesternOutlaw Posted November 12, 2006 Posted November 12, 2006 It doesn't even look like Lego. Quote
Norro Posted November 12, 2006 Author Posted November 12, 2006 It doesn't even look like Lego. Would you consider that a good or bad comment on the MOC? God Bless, Nathan Quote
Scotty Posted November 12, 2006 Posted November 12, 2006 Wow. thats an amazing amount of brick... I could probably build the wall before ! ran out of tan.. Nice find Quote
mrts Posted November 12, 2006 Posted November 12, 2006 Its really impressive. Especcially the crumbled walls look very realistic. I don't like it there are so many different brick collors in the wall, its a bit to chaotic for me. Quote
El Bucanero Posted November 15, 2006 Posted November 15, 2006 I was there in 2005, and I saw the castle, the belville fig surprised me.... Quote
Norro Posted November 15, 2006 Author Posted November 15, 2006 the belville fig surprised me.... To be able to build on Belville scale is incredibly impressive though! (Not my fav but...) God Bless, Nathan Quote
