Ridge Montante Posted May 16, 2014 (edited) This is something I was working on just before I joined GoH. I figured I post it as a freebuild instead of just a regular MOC in the history forum. Here we have the home castle of Sir Ridge, Lady Madison & Ivo Savill. A small humble home with a lazy river flowing by. Built on top of the rocks it is strong and sturdy. And it's always fun to go ice skating in the winter. Here they are venturing away from home for a hunting trip. home1 by RidgeMontante, on Flickr home2 by RidgeMontante, on Flickr home3 by RidgeMontante, on Flickr home4 by RidgeMontante, on Flickr home5 by RidgeMontante, on Flickr home6 by RidgeMontante, on Flickr home7 by RidgeMontante, on Flickr home8 by RidgeMontante, on Flickr home9 by RidgeMontante, on Flickr Sorry about the small story line. I'm not the best story teller yet. I'm sure in time and as I build upon my characters history I'll have more to write. But for now I hope you all enjoy this build. C&C are welcome.

-Horizon- Posted May 16, 2014 Nice Castle! You did a great job, and the rock work looks superb! The water is done nicely too. Overall Great Work and hope to see more builds soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HammerBro Posted May 16, 2014 Great job on the landscaping out front and I love that window on the left! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scaevola Posted May 16, 2014 Nice work (there's some really great details in this). I like the landscaping a lot (and your water technique, which I will definitely borrow if you don't mind ). Your rockwork is pretty good, but its a little too straight (the slopes are stacked on top of each other in perfect alignment each other rather than slowly sloping out). Looks like your texturing technique for the castle might need a bit of work however. The wall is a little to flat and smooth- some more stone-like texturing/ details would help (check out this article http://www.classic-castle.com/howto/articles/biggraywall.html). Keep moccing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ridge Montante Posted May 16, 2014 Thanks for the comments guys. I noticed too that the castle seemed a little flat and plain thats why I threw in some of the masonry bricks. It really is only my third MOC that I've built and posted so I know I still got a lot of things I can improve. @Scaevola borrow the water technique all you want. It's nice knowing I can be of influence to others too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

soccerkid6 Posted May 19, 2014 I like your landscape Both the water and ground look good. I think the fortress would look better if it was crenelated Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
