    Great builds!   I would place the though in an era slightly later then medieval ;)

    Having little alleys around buildings is not an option as I want the look of an old medieval town where most of the houses are right on top of each other. But as I said above, I'm thinking of doing it in small clusters, so that I always have 2-4 houses together. It means less modularity but more room for details and might be a good compromise.

     

     

    Thanks, I didn't know there was a standard. I've seen that technique before and actually thought about doing it that way at first but then I figured that it would unnecessarily increase the part-count...and expensive parts at that. But now I wish I had done it like that cause realistically, the price for those plates won't make much of a difference in the grand scheme of things, given how massive it already is.

    Now that you mention it, I'll probably switch to that system. I might not follow the standard to 100%, I'll have to see how it looks in detail.

    So I had the same issue with my castle build - I didn't use mils to start with and just recently I spent a few nights putting my castle on mils bases - the castle is modular and uses 6 base plates total so it was a bit of work.

    so I am on a space kick.... not fully finished - will have to adjust some things but here's start. I based it loosely on the spacecraft from 76049. The things I wanna do is give it more armaments, give it "rounder" finish on the edges. Btw, when you click on the image that will take you to an album with more pics.

    Lego in all it's wisdom has released as part of the Lego movie two sets that tie into classic space.... and I bought them.... and now, after many years of spending my time in the castle theme my kid like love for all things space is rekindled.....  damn you lego (says my wallet).  Of course the major issue I'm facing is the shortage of the Space Lego sets.  Yeah, I collected some of the Galaxy Squad ones when they came out but they didn't do it for me..... not sure why but the classic space, and space police I hold my interest the most.  

    So far I have purchased

    • Rebel Hunter 6897
    • Galactic Chief 6813
    • Galactic Peace Keeper 6886

    I am having an issue though (and I have had it since I was a kid) is the fact that I want my spaceships to be somewhat realistic - have full cockpits and so on.  And be capable of surviving atmospheric entry.  6886 along with 6781 and 6986 seem to strike my fancy the most.... why don't they make sets like that anymore?  Even 5981 which is well built (and I have) does not have that spaceish feel to it that seems to be most "realistic" (in my mind) :)

     

    Anyways.... limited budget but I am slowly looking around what's out there... my dream list is 6781, 6986 and 6984...... gotta win the lottery.... Btw, seems that there is more castle sets available at decent prices then space...... why is that?

    I'd love to see the following:

     

    1. Fantasy knight - this one would require a slight mod to the neck katana holder - it would allow a sword to be stowed there (only one, unlike the double katana one)

    2. Scout - armored print, light helmet, bow and quiver, or bow and cape.

    3. Wizard warrior - shield and staff with a crystal with white hair and beard

    4. Female knight - armor, definately lighter brighter colors but not pink or anything crazy like that

    5. towns person - a common folk of sorts

    6. lighter colored variation on the gypsy women from way back - she would be the towns healer

    7. hooded druid like character - cape and a staff

    8. nobleman / prince - brightly looking with a goblet

    9. Elven knight 

    10. minstrel

    11. Noblewoman

    12. innkeeper

    13. jester (yes we had plenty, but a new one would be useful anytime :D )

    14. fighting dwarf

    15. blacksmith

    16. foot soldier - shield spear and helmet

    I don't think I even posted my castle army here... and if I did, here's an update to it.  These are troops loyal to sir Kejtar (guy in the middle of the top pic)

    Altogether 46 mounted and 48 foot soldiers

    corrected shipping costs

    I have a handful (big troll handfull) of these 30523 polybags.  I am looking for $6 for 1, $5.50 each if you get 4 or more and $5 each if you get 6 or more.

    Shipping in a large envelope (bubble envelope) in US would be $3.50 for up to 5 (If someone wants more I can weigh and see if the 6th one would make it in) and to UK (seems that the UK folks are my biggest customers :) ) $7.50 for up to 5 (again, potentially might be able to squeeze 6 in - if anyone is interested let me know - if you need more let me know I will get the shipping cost to you).

    So as I was going through my characters my wife started asking about them. When I showed her the one that I told her was inspired by her she looked at it and said: is that the best you could come up with? Well.... the minifigs was all stock Lego from neck down with a different head and hair......

    So now I'm on a mission but perusing through bricklink looking just for torsos and printed skirts is a PITA!

    Which takes me to my call and desperate cry for help: looking for a female torso that would be green (dark green preferably though open to other colors as well) in tones, fleshing compatible (as in no yellow or other colored skin showing), semi majestic (think different versions of Arwen), and not witch based (got a great green torso but my wife turned it down due to the skull on it).

    Any suggestions and or ideas?

    I have a Milano I could part with- it's short minifigs... though I'm stateside.

     

    Anyways I'm in Costco the other day and I tripped over 75149 brand new in a box for $35.  The only one they had.  That was about 3 weeks before Christmas.  I snatched it as some crazed mother of two was zeroing in on it as well :)

    Amazing castle!

    Blazej raises an important point.  The castle is note fitting to what was seen in central Europe though that region currently is called Eastern Europe due to the previous political alignments that were forced upon the inhabitants of the region due to the Yalta agreements.....
