Four Sided Castle Roof Tutorial:

[LordBevis]

Very new to this building after compiling parts. Been a struggle finding more advanced tutorials. This index was amazing to find. That is for all the hard work. Book marked. Is there a way to follow this thread for updates?

Thank you very much, we're always thrilled to read comments like these! Very glad that our tutorials are helpful to you.  

If you scroll to the top of the page, you should see a button that says "follow", above the green button that says "Reply to this topic". Click that, and I believe you will get updates when we post new tutorials here

Simple Roof Gables Tutorial:

[Ravelino]

Very impressed and inspired by these useful tutorials...might surpass DC's Detailed Guide To Building A Medieval Village "effect" on the Medieval MOCing community(if it hasn't already, imho you two are [at least almost] as famous and brilliant builders as he came to be)

Some of the techniques explained(or techniques with similar effects) in these tutuorials I've seen before in MOCs and haven't figured out until you came with your solution to it like the middle eastern floors or the slanted and technic rockworks;

Not only does it improve the angles of the intricate and slope intensive technique, it also spared a lof of those expensive large grey slopes to get that spiky cliff look (over a 100 stud length it saved me 200 euros using 1x2 regular bricks instead of those 1x2x3 [inverted] slopes) and you also inspired lots of my ideas based on how you approached some other aspects(especially furniture, carts/wagons and how to cover up the corners on diagonal placed walls)

The fact that you two (despite being brothers and thus I guess would have a very similar "Lego-experience") have such distinct and recognizable projects making the variety in building techniques that much wider helps with keeping it interesting enough I want to check for updates every week.

Keep up the great work!

Slanted Rockwork Tutorial:

[Flagon_15]

Nice job with these!

By the way, medieval sets are one of my children's favourites -I'm more of a sci fi/military guy- but I should get around to take pictures of the shields they designed : we got a bunch of blank ones, some brushes and model paints, and I let their fantasies run wild to create coats of arms for the different families in their castle, and I'm positively surprised by the accuracy and imagination they had when doing these ; I knew they were smart, but they outdid themselves. (Is that true, or is that parental pride talking? )

Thank you, glad you like them! That's a great way to liven up some blank shields, and I bet your kids had loads of fun designing their own heraldry.
