one79 Posted May 21, 2020 (edited) Hello everyone. I am new in MOC-cing. I will use this thread to display my build which will be the main castle and habitat build. I will be integrating the habitat into the medieval castle and its surrounding in the future. CASTLE BUILD Actually this castle is my first MOC to build (just started on May 2020). So you might see a lot of simple technique used on it. I am still yet to learn or master the advanced build such as SNOT or MILS. I built it on 32 x 32 baseplate. My vision is to expand it into at least 4 times 32 x 32 baseplates. The castle will have blacksmith & armorers, throne room, dining room, barracks, King's chamber, storehouse, etc. Initial build on 1 unit of 32 x 32 baseplate. HABITAT MODULES Audience With The King (Will be incorporated into the Throne Room) The king's throne, golden candle holder and stained glasses concept are from the medieval tutorial furniture by little john Medieval Store All furniture concept in this habitat are from the medieval tutorial furniture by little john Armoury (Added on 30th May 2020) Shield stand and the small weapon rack ideas are from the Medieval furniture tutorial. Armor stand is generic build, crossbow stand is my own creation. Sword stand is pretty easy to build. I will post more photos when I have updates for the Castle MOC or build more habitat modules. I also have a modern LEGO city build. You can find me on instagram at @raysbrickville NEWS UPDATE 23th May 2020 My Audience With The King Habitat is featured by LEGO Fans Media in Chile.

jtooker Posted May 21, 2020 Great start! The interiors have many nice details. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AmperZand Posted May 21, 2020 Very nice! I imagine the castle would sit on top of a pinnacle of rock accessible only from the drawbridge side. That would explain the low walls and windows. Why is there a section of turret wall leaning out at an angle? It has a red plate across the top and is underneath the crossbowman with the green arms. Is it an action feature?

zoth33 Posted May 22, 2020 Nice castle. I like the towers and the use of the profile bricks on the outside. The gatehouse and drawbridge look good. Is the tan on the bottom of the castle supposed to represent a rock base? Lovely interiors with some nice details. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is it an action feature? A very detailed observation! I was undecided at first on how to proceed with this castle. My first option is to make the walls and windows higher as in real-life castle to prevent enemies to easily getting access into the wall. But I also want to make it more like LEGO-ish (like what LEGO is building their set). I have fond memory of playing with castle set when I were a kid. So, I decided to make it more LEGO-like. I made the windows using bricks & parts since the castle panel with build in window is too costly to buy as parts. At least I made sure minifigs can not fit into the windows to prevent attackers from easily gaining access into the castle, lol. I haven't decided how to place the castle, but you have given me idea to place it on small rocky hills surrounding the castle. I forgot to re-attach the wall of on the guard-tower! Did not use stud only a slid on and it detach easily. I only noticed it after I posted it. It is actually an action feature from earlier castle set where when the wall is attacked by catapult, it will detach. On 5/22/2020 at 9:14 AM, zoth33 said: Nice castle.

Lovely interiors with some nice details. Did you mean the LBG masonry bricks? I have a pile of them so I decided to use them instead of the normal LBG brick since I only have some if it. Yes the tan is supposed to be the solid base/foundation. Alas, I have used my reddish brown and tan baseplates for my city-building so I have to use the temporary white baseplates. But later on I might change the base when incorporating it into larger surroundings. Will enlarge the castle later on so I can fit in more interior decorations.
