pantelis Posted September 26, 2020 (edited) Hi to all folks..this days i finish my Modular Castle...And why modular?? Because this castle is made in detachable parts so that it can add and remove pieces easily at any time. Its playable for sure and reminds my my childhood years with the old lego classic castles with endless hours of play where the sets can opened and you could add and remove pieces from other sets. It's the idea like 9474 and 9471 where you can expand Helms Deep wall as many times you want. So this is my idea for my castle , playable , add ,remove , change any part you want..!! All the parts that you can see to the table af the first photo are the parts of the two castles..the 2nd step is to have the first castle with crusaders figures and the second version for the black falcons...!!

LettuceBrick Posted September 26, 2020 Wow! Really cool how the lines are so clean while still incorporating details and rougher spots. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
goceltic67 Posted September 26, 2020 Looks terrific Looks very playable Great job Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jimmynick Posted September 26, 2020 I liked the progress shots you shared a few weeks ago and the finished product looks lovely! Your solution to the big grey wall syndrome is at once detailed and clean, and the colours on your half-timbered buildings are so lively as well. Simultaneously classic and modern — I'd have loved it if LEGO had made something like this back in the day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grover Posted September 27, 2020 Very nice work. I like the way you added texture while keeping the light grey color largely. I think that it helps lend itself to the classic castle vibe while still adding texture. The brick work that emulates the wattle and daub of the original large printed pieces also looks fantastic. I particularly like your color choices that hearken to the classic castle while still adding a few new colors, such as the browns and the great use of the new goldenrod tree elements. You may want to raise the fence between the lists. I think they were generally higher so the horses didn't trip on them. This would make a really nice set, or group of sets that one could purchase modularly. I would love to see TLG let you design a new castle theme! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Niku Posted September 27, 2020 This is perfect, one of the most beatiful all gray castles I have seen(such care for details, scales, proportions and space use). You should put it on Ideas. I dont know how much it could cost, but I am sure is worth every penny. Thanks for sharing. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Iam glad you notice the details that I want from this castle. I think that lego in 2021 must give as a castle them. We love castle theme and we have so many years to see something good. 3 hours ago, Grover said: Very nice work. I like the way you added texture while keeping the light grey color largely.

I am really glad you notice the point idea of this Moc. The idea for me is that I can make changes any time. Add something new remove something else play with the colors and for sure in my free time play with my characters!! 2 hours ago, Niku said: This is perfect, one of the most beatiful all gray castles I have seen(such care for details, scales, proportions and space use).

Iam glad you enjoy the build and you feal like me when I see and play with it. The cost I think it's not so much if I think the cost of a new lego set of 2020... It's between 450-550€. I think it's big for lego ideas contest but for sure I would like to see from lego an new lego castle themes and then I will add it to my Moc. This is the main idea for me. Build something an put it like a modular build.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BrickCommander9 Posted September 27, 2020 Gorgeous castle! I really love your courtyard buildings. Smooth and elegant. Does the castle have an interior? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thank you very much for your feedback iam glad you enjoy the build. The castle is around with walls so i try to make an interior as you can see in the photos with some builds.. But you give me a good idea maybe I make something with the towers and the main gate.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, I saw the beautiful buildings in the courtyard. What I meant by interior was if those buildings, the towers or the gatehouse have rooms inside? Either way, it is really a gorgeous build. Definately gives me some inspiration for my castle :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Neighborhood Merchant Posted September 27, 2020 Wow, pantelis! Just when I thought your builds couldn't get any better, you show us this beauty! Your detailing is impeccable, and you definitely did a great job hitting that nostalgic black falcon castle look. Good choice with the sand green tiles, they look very nice as well. Great build! Also, love the fleshie falcons. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TeriXeri Posted September 27, 2020 This is amazing, and very IDEAS worthy, even if LEGO likely would scale it down. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zoth33 Posted September 28, 2020 Nice to see all your builds coming together. Are you going to combine everything into one big build? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jack Sassy Posted September 28, 2020 Love the vibe it has going, those trees with yellow leaves really add up to it, good job! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jtooker Posted September 28, 2020 Great execution on this idea. The style fits your scale well and is consistent. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MAB Posted September 29, 2020 I cannot see any connection points. Are you just standing the separate modules together without any connection between them? Using some technic bricks plus pins in standardised places might make it even more modular like. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But yes some modifide bricks with some pins could be better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
