Dr.Cogg Posted January 5, 2013 Posted January 5, 2013 Check out sites like,Brickshelf, Flickr,Moc pages and Classic Castle.com. Quote
Faefrost Posted January 5, 2013 Posted January 5, 2013 Sadly the MOC archives are not back up. That at least gives a visual starting point. What sort of castle are you seeking to make? Is it deeply historical? Is it a fantasy? What is the story you wish it to tell? Do you want s small MOC to tell a scene or story? Do you want something deeper or more involved. How big will you want it. Also what parts of a project are what you enjoy?walls, towns, people, etc Quote

cosmolon Posted January 5, 2013 Author Posted January 5, 2013 well, the thing is that i want to make a palace with victorian style or one like buckingham, i had started to design it in LDD. i only have ready the base and the sidewalk. what you guys think if a made it with base plates 32x32? is it very big? how can i post photos from LDD here?

Maxim I Posted January 5, 2013 Posted January 5, 2013 you have to save it, then upload it to brickshelf or flickr and then you can post it here my palace (again) is 32x32, it's pretty big, but the result will depend on how high you will make it Quote

Maxim I Posted January 5, 2013 Posted January 5, 2013 your palace is really nice, i like it because looks king of persian or arabic¡¡ yeeez It's made in the style of Kaliphlin (see Guilds of Historica), as my city lays in that great Guild If you make your palace more west-european, there are a lot of palaces where you can find inspiration (for example Buckingham Palace, but also the palaces of Stuttgart, Munchen, Hannover, and all those other cities who were once the capital of a small kingdom) Quote
Mahtion Posted January 5, 2013 Posted January 5, 2013 Any links to your palace? I appreciate Persian architecture, especially Sassinid and Parthian period styles. Prince of Persia was a nice Lego theme but more an amalgam of Persian, Indian and Abbasid caliphate. Most of arabesque architecture is Persian in origin and much of the culture and science attributed to Arabs were the result of Persians like Avicenna and Jaber ibn Hayan. I also like Achaemenid and it's similarities to Greek weapons and architecture. The akenakes is very much like the xiphon. So much rich history and a crossroads between worlds akin to Egypt and Rome in influence and diversity. Quote
