snaillad Posted September 2, 2017 Hello fellow EB members; Here is my latest creation. Crown Castle Adventure Golf. I've had a mini-golf based MOC on my to-do list for quite some time and this is a decent representation of what I originally sketched out to do. I had a couple of other themed ideas in mind - Inca and pirate themed but went for castle, maybe I'll revisit another theme someday. Being used to building on baseplates and nice square corners this was somewhat of a challenge with a organic shaped base and some rockwork which I can't confess to being particularly good at. It was fun to give it a go though! Although its essentially a castle it's not meant to be taken seriously (which is why I've posted in the town forum), although I've seen some people take adventure golf very seriously! Anyway on with the pictures, 3 in all; You can find the same images at flickr if you prefer here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/52656812@N04/ Enjoy! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

greg3 Posted September 3, 2017 That is so cool!! You've nailed the landscaping perfectly and that castle is perfect - love the curved wall and the "portcullis"!! Nice work!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eliza Posted September 4, 2017 It's adorable! Nice use of crossbow bolts for the castle gate. Your baseless, organic-shape base looks brilliant to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andy D Posted September 5, 2017 (edited) This is great! Instead of having a castle in your mini golf, the castle IS the mini golf. I think I would actually buy this as a set! Andy D Edited September 5, 2017 by Andy D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NewTown Posted September 5, 2017 I wish this was an official set. Your builds always make me smile. I admire your talent. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks Littleworlds! I don't tend to go for organic colours very often so I'm glad you like it! On 9/3/2017 at 8:01 AM, Brickviller V2 said: I love the idea and excecution of it!

It was a fun challenge doing a organic base, I have even more respect for castle themed builders now! 2 hours ago, Andy D said: This is great!

Andy D Cheers Andy, it was hard to judge how to make the castle, I almost wanted it to look more cartoony and fake, like a real miniature golf course but it probably ended up looking more realistic than expected! 13 minutes ago, NewTown said: I wish this was an official set.

koalayummies Posted September 5, 2017 Everything you build is so very gorgeous and wonderful. This is fantastic, love the costumed staff to bring in some less common minifigures into Lego Town. Fantastic MOC and great photography. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CaptainJackBrickster Posted November 3, 2017 (edited) I just have to say; you make some of the best mocs on this website. I love the 80's aesthetic that seems present in almost all of them. It gives your builds a unique, clean, and modern feel to them while also invoking the decades of the past. Also I would love to see someone recreate the Gold Room Lounge from "The Shining" It's basically a 1920's ballroom. Seems like it would be an interesting build, but I don't have the resources to build it. Seems like it would be up your alley though.
