zoth33 Posted April 20, 2020 Nice throwback to the Black Monarchs. I like the buildings and the red roofs. The buildings a nice and sleek. Your group of knights is great love the old figs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sander1992 Posted April 26, 2020 Thanks, @zoth33! I wanted to maintain the style of the Black Knights. The only change was the roofs are dark red instead of red. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grover Posted April 30, 2020 Very well done. I love the homage to the old classic style. Reminds me a lot of the Black Monarch's Castle. The brickbuilt grey on the black looks great, and the tree is very nice (I can't remember who made those originally, but I think they were around here). Nice job!

Lyichir Posted April 30, 2020 I like the way you've captured the spirit of the classic theme. The brickwork on the sides in particular looks excellent. However, if I had one critique... the roofs feel almost too smooth? It can be tempting to go for a studless look, or to opt for sloped tiles instead of the textured, stepped slope provided by slope pieces, but without any sort of texture to the roof at all besides the vertical slits between the long tiles, it comes out looking kind of plain. Perhaps if you went for more of a shingled look by layering shorter tiles, or even parts like 1x1 quarter circle tiles, it might improve the look. Of course, that's just my personal preference—obviously it's your MOC and your choice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sander1992 Posted May 2, 2020 Thank you both! @Grover, I know there is a tutorial of someone to build that kind of trees. I made this by using a few Castle Wheels and a lot of clips. @Lyichir, I think that you're right about the roof. It is way to smooth. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lukandros Posted February 7, 2021 Great build! Great skills. I checked all your Flickr album is amazing. I like how you maintain the Black Knights style in your builds. I love to see classic factions in new building technics. I am LEGO Classic fan. I like to make old sets as they were Black Knights sets. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sander1992 Posted March 1, 2021 Thanks, @Lukandros. There is currently a castle contest going at LOWLUG. You'll see some other builds from me in the coming two months. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
