Tazmaniac Posted January 24, 2013 This should probably be in special forum, but I'll leave that to the staff to deal with if they think it should move. That's a pretty decent view of the front, don't be afraid to use google images for reference pics it'll save you a heap of time. There were floor plans too but they were too big to post here... Good to see you on EB mate, are you planning to post pics of your Brickvention display? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I built the roof with these these and these, all in black of course Thanks!!! The Left wing i think is almost donee!!! Will get some photos up soon! Will most likely have to break it and redesign it its pretty much a test wall can you actually buy those pieces in black???? or is it just on LDD? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ardelon Posted February 2, 2013 Brilliant Marlinspike Hall, large88! Though I think it would be more accurate in yellow or tan, with a dark gray/bley roof. SandMirror38, looking forward to your version. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SandMirror38 Posted February 15, 2013 (edited) Hi everyone I built rapidly and have a double update!!! LEGO Marlinspike Hall (Right wing WIP) by SandMirror38, on Flickr LEGO Marlinspike Hall Vines (Right wing WIP) by SandMirror38, on Flickr LEGO Marlinspike Hall Minifig Scale? (Right wing WIP) by SandMirror38, on Flickr LEGO Marlinspike Hall Windows (Right wing WIP) by SandMirror38, on Flickr C and C is very much appreciated. But my big question is..

PLEASE tell me any problems cause I really want this to be miifig scale Edited February 15, 2013 by SandMirror38 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
large88 Posted February 16, 2013 It kind of depends on what you want to do on the inside. If you want to leave it empty your scale is good. If you want a realistic interior you might want to make it a bit bigger to fit all the necessary features. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Awesome scale is correct then, sadly I wont be doing the inside as well, though I will make separate mocs for them. request and it will most likely be made! Pssst..
