Digger1221 Posted November 4, 2013 Here's my latest MOC: Bright sunlight filtered through the intricate stained glass of the Hall’s windows. The cold stone brick walls and floor of the room soaked in the warm illumination. Around the Hall, courtiers stood in small, casual groups, talking of politics and court gossip. Suddenly the great wooden doors at the end of the Hall burst open. A fully-armored knight strode in; the king jumped excitedly to his feet. “Your highness,” the knight said with a bow. “I bring news of the western front. I have ridden all the way from the township of Ellithshire to bring it. The war goes not well! All the countryside is ravaged with brutal warfare. Reinforcements are desperately required!” Breathing heavily from this exhortation, the knight gazed about the room, his grim countenance silencing the many whispering groups of excited courtiers. The crow-shaped crest atop his helmet bobbed up and down with each breath; it almost seemed alive and ready to fly away. After a moment of thought, the king called aloud to the captain of the guard. “Captain! Send messengers to the villages. Issue a call to arms to all military age men. Once they are gathered, we ride off…to war!” The excitement in the court couldn’t be held in any longer. Wild whispers rose to shouts as the courtiers suddenly realized the gravity of this proclamation. The war was no longer just a distant rumble; it had now grown to a mighty roar! ________________________________________________________ I came up with a lot of new techniques for this build, including a ton that I didn’t use. I probably have enough unused techniques to build another throne room. (hmmm, if only there were some kind of contest going on right now that I could do that for…;) Anyway, thanks for viewing! :D Soli Deo Gloria! :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lynx Posted November 5, 2013 Wow! Beautiful. If I had the pieces for it, I'd try to use your technique to build the throne room of Minas Tirith. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mpoh98 Posted November 5, 2013 Fantastic work digger, this is really well done, reminds me of AP, Sirens of Titan! :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

songwm Posted November 7, 2013 I can't believe this is getting only 4 replies (well, 5 including mine). It is so beautifully made! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sigolf Brimabane Posted November 7, 2013 I was also wondering why this doesn't get any comments. It is a splendid throne room (something I've wanted to build for a long time, so this will surely be of inspiration for me). I love the mat on the floor and the floor patterns. The walls and the windows are great :) I'd like a close up on the throne, though! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bob De Quatre Posted November 7, 2013 Looks really great! I'd like to see close up too! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thomas_w Posted November 7, 2013 I would like to see a close up of the throne, but this does look really cool Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Haltiamieli Posted November 7, 2013 Follow the trail to Flickr and you can see the pic in bigger size, like 1600 x 1067. Interesting details! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Digger1221 Posted November 8, 2013 Thanks Manalorian Architect! ;) Btw, I posted this preview pic over on flickr. It shows some of the minifigs closer up: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WaysofSorting Posted November 8, 2013 Great. Just splendid. Thanks - I checked out the pic "embiggened" and was not disappointed. Tons of great details, some so simple they blow my mind in that I've never seen them. Very fresh masonry and brickwork. And solid "copy" to go with the solid build. I can feel the deliberate crafting of each. Now...I just wish I could get a better look at those windows.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZCerberus Posted November 8, 2013 Great work Digger. Still waiting to see you in GoH!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gideon Posted November 8, 2013 Very nice build, I especially like the windows and their frames! And the color scheme of the whole build is also very good Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Digger1221 Posted November 12, 2013 Thanks guys! Sorry about the lack of detail picks...I'm planning on doing another throne room soon, so i might use some of these techniques again. Hopefully you'll be able to see them better there. @ZCerberus: Haha! It's certainly tempting...ya'll do pump out a lot of quality builds! ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
