New Member : "Outpost Mini-Castle"

[Raacerx2]

Posted a pirate thing as well, but I'm new to these forums and after a 16 year hiatus, back to LEGO's with my girlfriends support (she gets deals on LEGO's woot!).

I glanced at some old castle setups online and then found this forum after making a shipwreck. This is a castle a made a bit ago after breaking them out. I think it is pretty close to an original, not sure what the name is.

Forgive the dirtiness of the LEGO, I need to clean them up. 20 years old!!!!! The plants are new, ordered some off Pick A Brick.

Criticism is more then welcome. I have not been creative except @ work. Nice to do so at home. Need to buy more LEGO!

A good MOC outpost.

I like the statue of the parrot. :)

Maybe it should be sited in a better position?

Or replaced with a new painted parrot from PoTC cannibal escape? if it is supposed to be alive?

Nice, 100% old Castle parts.

You really hit the spot of the 'Classic Castle' style, I like it.

Whats with the head with Grey helmet?

Greetings!

This really hits the bull's eye of a classic MOC! I've always taken the grey "parrot" as a falcon or any other bird of prey of comparable size. And I think the "head with the grey helmet" is an enemy's head stuck on a spear.

I also like that you gave some of your guards black leather gloves. I try to arrange that no knight in my armies goes into battle without gloves of a suitable colour.
