runmymouth Posted August 5, 2013 (edited) Link to pictures. http://imgur.com/a/MvTI5 So I have been working on my challenge to put 4 Joust sets together. I started with everything assembled from the book. I figured I only needed one joust rail so I created some stables for horses (http://i.imgur.com/Oc9PdDzh.jpg). I then modified the king pavillion to make it so I could have just 2 of them from 4 (http://i.imgur.com/EFKWnOWh.jpg and http://i.imgur.com/uZTU9Tih.jpg). I made one of those for the red king and blue king brother (lion knights) and one for the green and black wizard. I have a whole bunch of base plates ordered so I can start to have tiles underneath. I also plan on getting more chess sets to have enough soldiers to make it like a packed stadium (http://i.imgur.com/VUN97kqh.jpg and http://i.imgur.com/Vykckmxh.jpg). I also have been putting extra kings and queens minus royal livery into the noble areas to look like nobles are watching from boxes (http://i.imgur.com/vbsYi2Dh.jpg). Future plans: I really need to find many many many 1x1 tiles to start to do proper cobblestone and street material and grass material. I need to figure out where to get the best plates for building decently sized towers and turrets because the castle I built to start it from is pretty whimpy(http://i.imgur.com/l4AFWCdh.jpg):(. I was really sad it wasn't as much fun as I thought it would be to build the castle after building the joust. I plan on picking up some of the medieval village sets for a bit of a village scene next to the Joust. Questions: What are people buying to start working on their own turrets? Are you using Helm's Deep because it seems to have a lot fewer huge pieces that really don't seem to be able to be molded into more realistic looking walls. I was planning on picking up more base castle sets but I am not so sure anymore. Really wondering what others think. Also looking for other ideas of where to go next. I want to have this back up against a castle wall with a city/town nearby the castle. Thanks for taking a look all.

Kez Posted August 5, 2013 This looks really good and I look forward to seeing the final piece, although Id think you'd get more comments if you embedded the images, here is a tutorial on how to do so: http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=19193entry322759 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Updated original post. No problem, always happy to help, I think they might be a little bit large but as long as they are embedded thats better than nothing, perhaps if you get told otherwise by mods etc you can maybe put the pictures into a spoiler tag assuming you know how to do them Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
