Designed this a few years back, just wanted to share: my mini Sopwith Camel:

Lovely update of the dragon boat!

Hi Eurobricks community, I wanted to share my BDP Series 8 submission: the Medieval Cathedral. I've been working on this idea since BDP 1, submitting to series 1, 2, 5, 6, 7, and now 8. The Cathedral is now nearly complete! You can support the project here: https://www.bricklink.com/v3/designer-program/series-8/2731/Medieval-Cathedral

For anyone interested, I've posted the BDP 7 version to Rebrickable: https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-214984/arselus/medieval-construction-site/

Thank you for the support! I'm happy to contribute something to the castle community.

This is a great submission MontyMatte! I love the unique building techniques for the walls and arches. Best of luck!

Thank you so much - I really appreciate the kind words and support. Yes, I do, this was back from BDP 6 (posted in a Brickset.com article here: https://brickset.com/article/114150) I'll create an updated one that includes BDP 7 at some point too:

Hi Eurobricks forum, This is my submission to the Bricklink Designer Program Series 7: The Medieval Construction Site, if you like the build please support it here: https://www.bricklink.com/v3/designer-program/series-7/2296/Medieval-Construction-Site I designed this wanting to add something unique to the world of Castle, and wanting to delight Castle fans. We have many excellent castles, large and small. There are also many excellent cathedral MOCS, but typically they are more suited for expos, and too large for the average builder or fan. I have been working on this Medieval Stonemasons/ Construction Site concept for several years, hoping it would be a good centerpiece for many different medieval towns. Back in BDP 6 I wrote an article for Brickset about the design process: https://brickset.com/article/114150 As for scale, the scale was set to the Medieval Town Square. As regard the Lion Knights Castle (which feels more like a keep) - Cathedrals were often the same height as smaller castles at their nave. For example the Tower of London is 27m, Burg Eltz 35m, and Chartres Cathedral is 37m. I hope you like the build, please vote!

Thank you again for the feedback and views! I did continue to iterate and submitted the project to the Bricklink Designer Program Series 5, you can support here: [Medieval High Street] [BrickLink] Final part count is ~3100 with full interiors. The scale and style of the buildings was intentionally set to bridge the gap between the Medieval Town Square and Medieval Blacksmith. The goal is that you could get all three (Town Square, Blacksmith and High Street) and create a single medieval town.

Excellent build, nice use of textured and smooth surfaces. Any chance you can show the dome structure/technique?

Great build. Really smart use of the Harry Potter windows. Lots of custom elements in here. Are the food tiles custom? And the chair cushions?

Thank you! Great advice, this is really helpful for planning, as giving it a critical look and comparing to existing offerings is really difficult for the person designing (too much heart involved)! I’ll keep iterating!

Thank you! That’s exactly the type of feedback I’m hoping for. I have some more ideas on improvements, but I’d love to keep hearing feedback.

As many have pointed out, this is truly excellent. If there was a way to replicate it without using so many parts/elements, it would be great. As it stand currently, due to part count and the complexity of executing this in stud.io, I think I couldn't use the technique.

This is the Medieval High Street, mostly it is a labor of love. This MOC combines portions of three of my previous MOCs (Medieval Butcher, Medieval Library, Medieval Miller, all designed back in 2021 and submitted to Ideas) and several small builds (vineyard, tree, barrel) to create the "High Street" of a medieval town. I started working on this in 2022 but left it behind. The recent announcement of the Medieval Town Square spurred me to try my own hand at a similar scene. The nice home on the left is a nobleman's house, the house on the right (red with tan thatch) is a trader's store and house. The tower in the center is the town watch. Many of the elements included do not exist in these colors (it uses the "Main" palette in Bricklink Studio). At some point in the future (some version) of this might appear on Lego Ideas or in the Bricklink Designer Program. More renders are on Flickr and I'll probably keep posting updates to IG. Contains 3600 parts, no interiors yet. What do you think? What should I change, add or remove? If this ever appears in a program like the Bricklink Designer Program, I'd love to have some input from the EB community to make it better.
