(MOC) Theramore Castle from World of Warcraft.
Mark of Falworth posted a topic in LEGO Historic Themes
Theramore Castle by Mark E., on Flickr Long time absent from Eurobricks! Thankfully I have some new stuff to share with you guys! Built in just over six months and using more than 55,600 pieces, Theramore Castle is my largest creation so far in my LEGO building experience. It's definitely not my landscape-focused norm, but it was a fantastic and difficult challenge to complete it. This model is built as closely as possible to the actual Theramore Castle in the World of Warcraft Video Game. Sorry the pictures aren't the highest quality. This MOC was so large that it was very hard to photograph! Thanks for viewing and have a great day!

Black Falcon's Fortress Re-Imagined
Mark of Falworth replied to Mark of Falworth's topic in LEGO Historic Themes
Thanks for the kind words and helpful suggestions everyone! I'll be incorporating as much as possible in the second update. I ended up not adding the chimney since there was no fireplace for it to serve a purpose. If you think it would definitely look better with a small chimney up there I'll definitely have to add one! I thought the minifigures that are included in the set deserved a little bit more attention!

On a Narrow Spit of Sand... by Mark E., on Flickr Mark of Tortuga and his fearsome crew land on a tiny island in the Caribbean. Why you may ask? For there lies the treasure of Captain Greenbeard the Odorous. After some digging with their swords, for they forgot the shovels, the pirates unearthed the goodly hoard of gold! "The Treasure Is All Ours!" by Mark E., on Flickr Mark couldn't be happier at the luck he and his men were having. "Myarrharr! The Treasure is all ours! Now back to the nearest port to enjoy the loot of a lifetime!" Marooned. by Mark E., on Flickr Little did Mark realize the crew had other plans... Wow, it's been too long since I built pirates stuff. The new line of Brickwarriors pieces is what got me going again. I'll probably have to proceed with the story now that I've left Mark hanging.

A Royal Wedding Interrupted. by Mark E., on Flickr The band of merry, mischievous foresters royally interrupt the wedding of King Bart the Odiferous. He had wrongfully tried to force the young fair maiden, Jane, into matrimony. Jane was the sweetheart of Will o' the Black, the fearsome leader of the foresters, and before the ceremony could be performed, the foresters had engulfed the chapel in riotous green-hued chaos. Pews are overturned in the ruckus! Jane, the bride-to-be, is delighted and relieved. No wedding (even a wrecked one!) is complete unless someone is swinging from the chandeliers. Although the damage was great, the beautiful stained-glass windows were unharmed in the sacrilegious escapade.

Star Wars vs. Marvel Contest Voting Thread

Activity - Exploration. Location- Aeristus - C04. After an uneventful time on Myderis, Mark of Orion and his prototype vehicle were tasked with surveying the currently contested planet of Aeristus, just one sector from Torresta, the home planet of the MANTIS™ corp. After a few hours of testing ground speed on the open grasslands, Mark's radio emitted a distress call! Arriving at the scene, Mark discovered that his former crewmates were attacking a loathsome Kawashita stronghold and were in dire need of assistance! Mark fired up the Awesomnium-powered boosters and revved up the particle-disruptor rays on his Strider. "THIS ENDS NOW!" (Begin Commentary) Not happy with this build at all, I was extremely rushed for time - which also explains the very short story! But I wanted to get something in for MANTIS, so Enjoy!

Thanks guys! Sorry about that! I'm not too happy with how the pic turned out so I didn't put it as public on my stream. Larger pic added, hopefully all the details are visible now!

Just so funny! Great Moc and story again Sal!

[M - A04] Crystallized Awesomnium Geysers on Mynderis.
Mark of Falworth posted a topic in AG1 Archive
Activity- Exploration. Location- Mynderis - A04. Previously, Mark of Orion saved Captan Brutus from the Malicious Munchmoid on Jurin II. In reward for his brave service and quick thinking, Mark was promoted from the exploration dropship team to a new solo mission. Mark was sad to leave his comrades but the new pay grade was definitely a must. Not eating at the maggot-infested cafeteria was pricey at best! Mark's next mission, to try out a new MANTIS™ prototype vehicle. Arachtis Strider M2 The Arachtis Strider M2© has just come out of the diabolical labs of MANTIS™ HQ. Unlike most conventional vehicles, the Strider has six independently-powered limbs that propel the saucer--style body. Made from a mix of Durithium composites, the strong but flexible exoskeleton provides a durable frame for the softer bioengineered core. The "feet" are based on the same cell structure of the tentacles of the Garctaloid of Yallorn II, which can send sensory information to the control panels while providing excellent support and superior grip. But this unique transportation mode is not just for show. The Arachtis Strider can traverse even rough terrain at 85 MPH. And the 9 Awesomnium-powered thrusters means that this craft is capable of effectively flying in upper level atmospheres and beyond. The designers believed interplanetary travel in the current Strider model is possible, though dangerous due to the vehicle's small size and weak debris shields. Understandably, Mark was very excited to man the first expedition in the Arachtis Strider M2©! His first mission was on the currently uncontested planet of Mynderis A04. neither Octan nor Kawashita were believed to have any operatives on the surface. As Mark touched down on the crusty plain, he felt for the first time what is must be like to be a 20-foot tall alien bug! "Ohohoho! This thing is FUN!" The location Mark had been posted was on the northern tip of the volcanic planet, here the temperature was well below freezing and the lava flows and eruptions were less frequent. The advanced computers immediately began to direct Mark to curious object on a rocky slope. On closer inspection, the purple edifice gave off large amounts of energy and radiation. Probably Awesomnium! "Time to try out the feet." Arachtis Strider M2 on Mynderis A04 Mark directed one of the limbs to rest on the larger crystal in the center of the mound. The computer immediately read out, "Content: Crystallized Awesomnium 98%, Basalt ash 2%" Mark smiled. This tech was useful. "Nice! I wonder how deep this crystal thing goes..." "Approximately 1300 feet." "Haha! This is awesome!" "Incorrect: The content is 98% Awesomnium." "Yes, yes! I know! Hmm... Where are those humor settings..." To Be Continued! (Begin commentary) Well, I didn't have much time this week, but I did have a friend over on friday and while we were building and tinkering with the LEGO I managed to come up with this bug saucer thingy! Reminds me of War of the Worlds, even though I've never seen the movie or read the books! Hopefully next week I'll be able to DESTROY reply to all the MANTIS™ Haters! -
[M - A04] Crystallized Awesomnium Geysers on Mynderis.
Mark of Falworth replied to Mark of Falworth's topic in AG1 Archive
Haha! Good point! The designers assumed with such good grip that the vehicle would never fall on it's back. However, there are two test proven ways of righting itself, first the legs can all move from one side to the other in a rapid motion in order to rock itself back on it's feet, second, if the first technique fails, the cockpit opens with considerable power (In case of a embedded crash during flight mode), like a ladybug flipping itself over with it's wings, the strider can right itself quickly with the opening cockpit if necessary. It is recommended that you put on your helmet before performing both of these maneuvers... -
This is fabulous! Epic vehicle Bob!
