pantelis Posted October 27, 2020 Hi to all , one more creation for me insired from the lovely classic age and from one base plate that i love and was to the 6086 lego set.

Sarophas Posted October 27, 2020 Once again, very simple yet great wall techniques and very nostalgic! Keep 'em coming Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zoth33 Posted October 28, 2020 Nice use of that base plate. I have one of those base plates too and am always experimenting with builds for it. I really like what you have done simple, yet has some nice texture and I like the red roofs. I like the tall slender windows and the use of the large gate doors.

Thank you one more time zoth for your feedback and to this creation. I really like this nostalgic classic base plates.. It's hard to fix something out of the original lego set to this base but for sure I enjoy it..!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jtooker Posted October 28, 2020 I love the brickwork style you went with on this castle. Like with your other MOC, you've added just enough extra detail to make this MOC interesting while still being a believable/potential set/kit. The castle fits very well on the raised baseplate and the tower is an especially nice touch. The roof supports for the tower (round 1x1 bricks and plates) are superb. The occasional buttresses around the walls and tower are nice details and there seem to be just the right number of (and right sized) windows. I'll leave two minor critiques. The first is that the roofs are a bit plain - I like the few dark blue slopes you included in forestmen MOC and think some dark red slopes would be a nice touch here. The other is the use of the pre-fab wall pieces, though using the printed ones helps a bunch. What you did for that sized tower might be best, but I'd be curious if you tried any (non-square) brick-built towers. Thank you for sharing your MOC. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Iam really glad for this feedback. i like that you see all this details of the build and you give some good ideas to change some thinks. i have some dark red slopes that i will replace the red to see how looks like. The all build was in 1 day so i think i can change some of the parts in your feedback Thank one more time for your comments. 5 hours ago, SteamSewnEmpire said: Very classic. iam glad you enjoy it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WesternOutlaw Posted October 29, 2020 Not many builders utilize the old castle bases. You did a great job incorporating and I like the red/grey color palette. Knights look great as well. It's really nice to see classic castle with modern design. Love the use of the brick pieces. Excellent! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is the reason that i was very careful with the build. I think its very deficult to make something with this lovely classic bases. I try something with clean lines , some new parts but always with classic fealing. I hope i made it.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mrcp6d Posted October 29, 2020 I like this a lot! The castle overall has some nice shaping, particularly I like the central tall tower rising from the rest of the structure. Good integration of the raised baseplate too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was 50/50 with the tower if I can't put it there. But I think was good. This base plates are just one of the best parts. It's difficult to mocing them but when you make something the rusult is good!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
