frumpy Posted January 8, 2019 Hi All, Here are some photos of a classic castle build I made last year. It is my take on the Village Mill raid set from a few years back but with classic castle factions (Crusaders and Wolfpack). Cheers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Roadmonkeytj Posted January 9, 2019 My two favorite parts are the horse reared up and the way you did the fire on the roof Overall so much going on so much to look at... You display the action well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

peedeejay Posted January 9, 2019 Great build with lots of nice details. The mill looks fantastic. I don't think it's possible to build it any better with this size. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rodiziorobs Posted January 9, 2019 I really like the understated look of the mill. The walls and roof have great textures (and angles) but aren't falling down or busy looking. The whole building, with the sails and the railing fits together really well. The rest is also great--minifig positioning especially--the the mill really caught my eye.

LM71Blackbird Posted January 9, 2019 Absolutely stunning! Great attention to detail and overall a nice a busy looking scene! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zoth33 Posted January 10, 2019 Great scene. I like the pathway and the landscaping especially the way you placed the trees. Is that a forestman in the bottom corner by the water feature which is a nice touch. The mill is great, the roof is great and the colors work really well. The action with the figs is wonderful. Great job. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've now got to work on putting a motor in the mill as it is going to be used in a much larger display I'm building for some shows this year. 7 hours ago, LM71Blackbird said: Absolutely stunning!

Lol, yes there are two forestmen hiding near that tree watching the scene unfold. Perhaps they'll join in :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AntiZombie Posted January 10, 2019 Absolutley great and lovley build! Well done! :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hobbythom Posted January 10, 2019 Great build. Reminds me of the old Lego catalogues. There must be some sweet flour in that mill for it to be attacked by both factions at the same time! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ControlAltBrick Posted January 11, 2019 Awesome display, very inspiring! But... i think you are even better with city/space themes! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, the old catalogues were awesome with the scenes they set up. Much better than the current ones (or maybe it was just because I was a kid).

Might be a while before I get a chance to build space again. Who knows :) On 1/12/2019 at 9:04 PM, badboytje88 said: Love the mix of classic fig parts and newer figs. Great moc! Thanks.

Witold Posted May 5, 2019 Amazing scene, great landscape and buildings. I like the fact that farmers try to defend themselves. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
