sander1992 Posted April 14, 2020 Hi everyone, At LowLUG was a member, who wanted to see more Castle at the forum and he wanted to build Castle. He started a contest on the forum. The rules were simple, build a Castle on a 32x32 baseplate. This fortress is located in the mountains. There is a small tunnel that leads to the tower. The knight known as 'the Bear' is preparing the men for an attack. Sorry for the background, I am looking for a replacement. For more pictures please look into my Flickr album.

Louis of Nutwood Posted April 14, 2020 That's a beautiful design! I love the roof and the mix of Light (B) Grey and Dark (B) Grey for the walls. Excellent work in small space, specially including the interior. Cheers! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
neonic Posted April 14, 2020 Great build Besides the whole building, I also like the light colored rock. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zoth33 Posted April 15, 2020 I like the tan bricks for the rock work. Very nice clean build on the castle. I like the dark grey tiles accenting the walls and the tower. Nice interior and some good looking figs too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sander1992 Posted April 15, 2020 Thanks guys! The use of 1x2 tiles for the walls, is something I borrowed from a Castle shown at Lego World (NL) last year. I just wanted the rocks in another color than DBG. Since last year I have a lot of Dark Tan slopes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gorilla94 Posted April 15, 2020 Looks very pretty :) could you please tell me how you made the wooden triangle structure? That looks stunning. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm also really liking your move with dark tan as the base instead of the usual rockwork that tends to blend in And those are some fantastic parts uses with the Tudor section in the back!

LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted April 15, 2020 What a neat and beautiful construction! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
soccerkid6 Posted April 15, 2020 Lovely castle! The winding stairs leading to the entrance are a fabulous technique Nice work making the layout more interesting by incorporating height difference in the terrain too Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Minecraft parts below are attached to plate, modified 2x2x2/3 with 2 studs on side. The 1x8 tiles are attached to a brick with 1 stud on side four bricks higher and 2 studs aside (below the second brick modified 1x2x1 1/3 with curved top). The Minecraft part in the top is attached to a Headlight brick (oriented on his side). The Headlight brick is 2 plates below the cone. I hope that the explanation makes sense. Otherwise I have to take some pictures of it. Thank you @Garmadon and @LEGO Train 12 Volts! 3 hours ago, soccerkid6 said: Lovely castle!

Thanks for the compliment! I wanted something else in the front. The 3x6 wedges was something I came up with. It fits, but the 2x6 wedge (in the rock) pushes the stairs a bit from the wall.

Jerry McGlade Posted April 15, 2020 Fantastic build Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
victorycount Posted April 16, 2020 Yeah, I like it a lot! Some nice details, and building technics. Only in some pictures there is a lil bit too much out of focus, for my taste. But that does nothing to that great build. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sander1992 Posted April 17, 2020 Thank you both. @victorycount I was not happy with the pictures either. The background was the problem and I wanted to make it look more blank by introducting more light. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Klaus-Dieter Posted April 18, 2020 That's a great MOC, @sander1992! Is there a secret passage between the house and the tower to outside? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sander1992 Posted April 18, 2020 Thanks! The tower is the connection between the wall, cave and the tavern. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mrcp6d Posted April 18, 2020 Color choices here are sweet. The tan base is a bit unusual and works really well and the 1x2 dark bley tiles create a neat effect as others have stated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
