Romanos Posted May 18, 2021 (edited) After I started building the city for a couple of years, I also became interested in castles. I'm never happy with what I've done, but I'm progressing slowly. Unfortunately the money side still limits me to go into more detail. Because when I go to work I like to do everything big. To make 4 buildings, instead of 1 with all the details. I am preparing for the exhibition of my LUG club "KOCKICE" so I am in a hurry to do everything I plan. I started the castle with 1 tower, then a couple of buildings, so I added the walls. Now I’m working the village in front - and the plan is a port as well. The tower is now too small for such a big city so I tear it down after the exhibition and do something bigger. I borrowed a lot of ideas, so maybe someone will recognized they work - THANK YOU !! Edited May 18, 2021 by Romanos Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

zoth33 Posted May 19, 2021 Very nice build. The castle and tower have some nice texturing and design to them. The village looks good and I like the all the crops especially the grape vine nice detail. All the buildings have some nice colors. You have quite a few cypress trees I'm jealous. I also like all the action with the minifigs throughout the scene. Good job. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TX ;) I'm still trying to add details and texture to the walls, it just requires a lot more smaller bricks;) I try not to repeat myself with the design and especially the roofs bother me.Again need more bricks ;) Cypress and so hard to find, i got them 5 from some old lots i got ;) And with figs I always like to overdo it. I have about 1500 figs in my whole 7m town. And its hard to find for all to do something ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jtooker Posted June 2, 2021 This town and adjacent castle is great! I'm also working on a similar setup but am far behind your progress. I appreciate the focus on landscaping that you have done. The trees are great and I like the rows of vegetables growing. I wish I lived close enough to come to your LUG's exhibition! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Louis of Nutwood Posted June 4, 2021 It's truly inspiring to see something this big taking place. I'm working on a similar project for way too long to admit, and can say how difficult it is to commit. Awesome work in the minor details, and I appreciate you taking separate photos of some of the structures that compose this grand diorama. Fantastic job. Hope it keeps growing. I would love to see a bolder castle structure coming from inside the walls. Cheers! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
