To tell you the truth I didn't really plan ahead, I'm just feeling inspired by the lot of you! I'll look it over and get right back to you! I probaly won't be doing LOTS, but I'll pump out something every once in a while!

41. Monastary

42. Chandler

The Monstary looks good, I'll have a wack at that! What's a chandler? It seems undone, and I could techniqually build the two next to each other, and photograph thewm together. Just need to know what it is ;)

Great to have you join, Zepher! A chandler is simply a candle stick maker. :classic:

EDIT: I just posted my Wine Cellar in the Beta Thread!

ISC, since I'm done building for the weekend (finally!), here is the code for my three latest modules:

Good, I was beginning to worry you'd never stop! :tongue:

Great modules though, I love all the detail in them, like the cat and mouse. :classic: Just remember to leave some for everyone else! :tongue:

Wow, all of Thrash's new modules inspired me to put something together today, the Royal Armory. I'll most the pics in the Beta thread.

Thrash, if you could work your Word and thumbnail magic, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks.

Enjoy

Thrash, quit it! I build one module after three months of being a participant, and then you have to ruin it by making yours ten times better than mine! :hmpf_bad::tongue: Keep up the great work, but just try not to knock everyone out of the competition. :wink:

:grin:

By the way, thanks for all of the answers. I'll get to work on the Royal Treasury soon. (Don't make that one too!).

As for the contest, I really have no idea on how to do it. I liked the idea that the best modules were voted for in in the respective teams, and then the one(s) with the most votes on each team would face-off. That way, the winner would win without leaving out his/ her team. And the other team... well they would just be SOOL. :grin:

EDIT: Damn, darkagent! Looks like I have lots of competition, now... :devil:

Well, you'll be glad to hear that I am actually doing something on the front gatehouse. Ain't that cool? :grin: Anyway, I have a basic floor-plan started (at least, where the outer walls will be), and I'm currently working on a design for the gates. In realtion to the walls, I'm, um, being a little naughty and not following the official design. :blush: Don't worry, it'll still fit with all the others. I decided that since it's the front of the castle it should have at least some ornamentation, so I'm doing arches along the walls instead of sloped bricks at the bottom and at the top. Hope that sounds fine to you ISC. I have a thing for arches. :wub:

So yes, that is all for now. Carry on.

There is no royal treasury, silly! :classic: There is a royal armory, but darkagent just did it...

I generally try not to build ones that people have already done, but I was searching pictures of the various rooms and a beautiful picture of a wine cellar caught my eye, so I just couldn't resist.

Whatever you decide to do next I'll try not to do. :classic:

Wahoo! I don't know what ISC's thoughts on the matter will be, but I don't think that it will look out of place at all if the guard house walls are a little fancier than the rest, especially since I happen to like arches too...

Okay final question. Is there a demensions thing? How big should they be? I can't find it, but I'll keep trying.

On the other hand, you are incredible Thrash!

Try the first post. That shows how tall, wide, and long the rooms' walls should be. See the map for your room's dimensions. :wink:

I've been reading this, and it sounds kinda intresting. I have a few questions, though.

1. Will the type of room we build be our choice, or will it be pre-chosen?

2. Will the dimensions be our decision, or pre chosen.

3. How does the "competition" thing work?

Okay, thanks Jim. Then one really final question. Would the hallway be built into the 16 times 16, or seperate!

I should be able to finish one within the month, though I have another project I want to pound out first!

1. You can build any of the items on the list. It doesn't matter if they've been done or not yet.

2. The dimensions of the room are pre-chosen. See the list and maps in the first post of this thread.

3. It is my understanding that ISC is currently working with the EB administration to create a competition that relates to the EBCCB. As soon as the details are worked out, I'm sure ISC will post them. :classic:

The hallway is a seperate thing from the 16x16. The following diagram that I made illustrates this:

Hope that helps!

Very nice work, I will take a closer look soon, off to work in a few minutes.

Well, you'll be glad to hear that I am actually doing something on the front gatehouse. Ain't that cool? :grin: Anyway, I have a basic floor-plan started (at least, where the outer walls will be), and I'm currently working on a design for the gates.

Hope that sounds fine to you ISC. I have a thing for arches. :wub:

So yes, that is all for now. Carry on.

I expected the gatehouses to be a little more detailed, though could you have the walls 12 high just on the ends to join up to the smaller modules. Then you can step up to as high as you want it.

As Thrash said, you may choose the room, but the dimensions are already set. Do you wish to join up, if so I will put you into Beta and let me know what you want to have a crack at too. :classic:

Thrash, I appreciate all the help, and Jim too. I will take a closer look at Thrash's work soon. :thumbup:

Zepher, cant wait to see what you make, hope Thrash's 3d plan helps.

Oh yes yes, of course, everything on it will still connect properly to the surrounding modules. :sweet:

Hey fellow builders :classic:

2 questions

1. How would I go about making a thumbnail

2. Who puts the fanncy writing for what module you are doing on the picture?

I ask these questions as I have nearly finished my module and I will soon be posting it.

Also why have I been removed from doing one of the staircases? :cry_sad::tongue:

EDIT: Damn, darkagent! Looks like I have lots of competition, now... :devil:

Sorry JimButcher. I started off with an empty room and the figures. Then I looked at the list to see what I had enough parts to make and would go with the figures. It's all in good fun :laugh: .

Thrash, thanks so much! I'll be getting straight to work!

1 and 2. I'm the one who does the writing. Don't worry about making a thumbnail. Just make sure that you post a picture of it from the front so that I can put the writing on it and everything. Then I'll post two sizes in my brickshelf folder: a 640x480 and one with a height of 160 that will serve as the thumbnail on the first post.

I don't know what staircase you're talking about. Regardless of what staircase you're talking about, you're still welcome to do it. :classic:

You've got some great work going here guys! I'm impressed with the success you all have achieved with this project.

I'm planning on making an entry in the MOC Index for this, using thumbnails of five or six of the modules which will link back to the first post of this thread. I'm wondering if there are any in particular you would like me to use?

Here Is a well balanced selection for the MOC index Sir Dillon. Its nice to get it recognised in the MOC Index too :thumbup: Could you imagine if they had of all been posted in separate threads, what a nightmare organising that :hmpf_bad:

I was starting on the kitchen, when I realized, I don't think I'll have enough light grey bricks for the whole thing...

Do you think it would be okay to have a mix of 2 colors for the kitchen? Maybe light grey and dark grey, or light gray and white?

And if it's okay, should they be in solid layers or mixed?

Thanks! I put them in beneath the vehicles section.

I admit I was a bit relieved when you all decided to just post the modules in one place. :blush:

It should be fine if you just mix light grey and dark grey. Then if we ever find a way to put all the modules together we can just rebuild it with all light grey to match the rest of the keep. :classic:

How does that sound?

Alright, thanks Thrash! :classic:

I think I'll have enough dark grey and light grey, but if not, could I use black or white combined with light grey?

I've never had much light grey for some reason... I'll have to order some from Bricklink sometime.
