Hi there! Long time, no see. I've been inactive for a couple of years, not posting or anything. I haven't stopped building LEGO though, so I present to you my latest MOC! It's a Japanese castle, as you can see, inspired by a certain real life castle (can you guess which one?). Sorry for the shitty pictures. I don't really have the tools or know-how to take good pictures. I might try to take some better pictures eventually, but for now I just want to share my MOC with you guys. :) It's not completely finished since I want to expand it by adding more baseplates, but this section is done. You can remove a couple of the floors but it's kind of a hassle.
-
It measures circa 72 cm :) I have almost finished the third 48x48 baseplate that will be added to the castle. I'll see if I finish the whole thing during summer.
-
Very tasteful texturing. I like it. :) The soldiers look good as well.
-
Thanks for your praise! :) It's actually based on Fushimi Castle. I have some interior but I have no pictures of it as of right now. It's a hassle removing the floors. x) I wanted to go for a full interior but gave up halfway because it wasn't going to be structurally sound. I'm pretty satisfied with the roofs! :) I guess maybe the dark grey base of the castle looks a bit simple. But I think it looks alright. I'm not going so much for texture. I kind of like the lego look. :)

[REVIEW] 6277 Imperial Trading Post [VIDEO]
Sigolf Brimabane replied to Bricks Planet's topic in LEGO Pirates
The redcoat admiral also appears in 6263 (Imperial Outpost). Edit: He doesn't have epaulettes or a feather in his hat there though, so not sure if it counts as the same figure? But he has the torso, head and hat at least so it's essentially the same figure. -
[ESL: KMA] The Fort at Fuerte Unido
Sigolf Brimabane replied to Capt Wolf's topic in Brethren of the Brick Seas
This is close to perfect :) Love the fort! -
Really nice work! :)

Another Piece of Wall Art, but this time Pirates 1!
Sigolf Brimabane replied to mitchlt's topic in Pirate MOCs
Arrr, this be awesome, matey! I hope no pieces were damaged in the process : P -
Love the classic style! I want to build something like this myself, but only using the classic colours (yellow instead of tan for sand etc.). The size of it is perfect. :)
-
Proof that raised baseplates work with modern bricks as well Det ser meget pænt ud!

Look what I just got - Report your latest Pirate LEGO acquisitions
Sigolf Brimabane replied to V()()D()()'s topic in LEGO Pirates
I just bought a Skull's Eye Schooner on an auction site for 1090 SEK (roughly €120, $130). It's missing one big flag, the gold coins and according to the seller "one small grey and one small red piece". No instructions or box. It's got the sails, and hopefully the printed panel as well (there was no pic from the rear). There were also two extra 2009 redcoats. Will hopefully get it by thursday. I will have to start putting more pictures up here. I totally forgot to put pictures of the Renegade Runner (with box and instructions + poster) that I got last year. Hope the money was well spent. Also, I just took apart and stored away all my pirates sets apart from Caribbean Clipper and Black Seas Barracuda. I simply don't have the space for them all S: -
Best Adventurers subtheme
Sigolf Brimabane replied to Robert8's topic in LEGO Action and Adventure Themes
My brother and I only had the Egypt sets and just one or two of the smallest sets from Amazon, Dinon Island and Orient. So nostalgia says Egypt. But I always loved the colours of the Amazon sets and the dinosaurs of the Dino Island, so it was a difficult choice. I loved the Dino Island world in LEGO Racers 2. :) -
Ah, sorry. That offer was more of a joke anyway, I don't have the money for an SES.
-
That sounds like a really nice collection. Skull's Eye Schooner, Imperial Trading Post, Imperial Flagship and Forbidden Island are especially nice sets! I guess you could try to sell them on ebay. For individual parts I suggest www.bricklink.com, but it takes a while to learn how to use it properly. There are a lot of stores on there, and it's all about finding the place that has the most items for the lowest price x) There you can also see what your sets might be worth on average, but I guess if you want to be sure to sell them, you should put the price down a bit when you auction them out. Edit: You are more than welcome to sell Skull's Eye Schooner to me if the price and condition are right ;) That's one of the quite many sets that I miss. But it's number one on my wanted list among the missed sets. :)

AoM: Tower Phase 3: Nordheim Keep
Sigolf Brimabane replied to soccerkid6's topic in Guilds of Historica
There should be a super-superlative form of "awesome" to describe this x) The æsthetic is extremely good! -
Wow, it looks really nice! To think I actually inspired someone x) I like how you made it for the dragon faction from Kingdoms. They never got a proper castle. Sure, they got that prison tower, but the "evil" factions are always lacking a castle these days. Hmm, and you're right, I never did upload any pictures... I only took these really crappy pictures before disassembling the build. They weren't really worth showing, but I guess I can put them here to show how mine looked IRL:

No Licenced historic theme this year?
Sigolf Brimabane replied to kinggregus's topic in LEGO Historic Themes
Yeah, everything about the Angry Birds license feels like a mistake. It's like when memes get into games a year after people have stopped using it. Since it takes lego quite some time to get licenses and design the sets it might be unwise to do these fads like Angry Birds. But we'll see how it goes. -
Moc: CCCXIII Hickory Outpost
Sigolf Brimabane replied to Brother Steven's topic in LEGO Historic Themes
Beautiful build! I've been wanting to try those chima joints in a tree, and you've now shown that they work great :) Wish I had that much foliage... -
[MOC] Bluecoat Fort - Inspired by Eldorado Fortress
Sigolf Brimabane replied to Pimbo's topic in Pirate MOCs
Some of the details look pretty crude (but that goes with the old childhood lego supply I guess, like my first stuff after coming out of my dark ages), but there are nice bits as well, and it makes a really good overall impression! Looks very cool. :) -
I have collected some sets lately that I planned to build on the Yule Eve. But it seems I might have to wait until the Yule Day before I have the time to build them. The sets are (I've mentioned most before): Black Knight's Castle (only missing the two small white dragon wing plumes), Black Falcon's Fortress (with a black instead of dark grey helmet on one of the knights), Forestmen's River Fortress (had to substitute a couple of the plumes but otherwise complete), and if the parts arrive in time The Guarded Inn (only missing the yellow Black Falcon Shield). Will most likely be some fun building. :)

Latest CMF series impact on Historic themes
Sigolf Brimabane replied to SirBlake's topic in LEGO Historic Themes
I'm colourblind. And I'll wait till I get the figure in my hand before I give the final verdict. Colours never look the same on-screen. So far it looks pretty nice. I'm not really a fan of that pauldron piece but maybe it will grow on me. On another note I think red and blue look odd together, like on the red-blue barding from the Black Knights sets. Still a fantastic piece of barding though. -
Lovely set-up! :) Looks really good beneath the tree. I hope Santa doesn't step on any lego while visiting your house. ;)
-
Beautiful ship, and very cool play-feature. Could you upload a video, and take more pictures of the finished ship? I'd like to see more :)

Sprechen Sie bitte Englisch auf dieser Seite, damit alle verstehen können. :) There is a guy who has made a series of dwarf statues, maybe a google search can turn them up. Edit: Found them: http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=103730&hl=pete-keetongu#entry2085213 http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=98136&hl=pete-keetongu Search for the guys name, Pete-keetongu, in this forum and you'll find more. :) -
[MOC] Updated Black Falcon's Fortress!
Sigolf Brimabane replied to Sigolf Brimabane's topic in LEGO Historic Themes
Thanks for the comments! :) I will try to take photos of the real thing! I'll see if I can show the drawbridge mechanism... I'll try it in LDD. I'm waiting for the last pieces for the original Black Falcon's Fortress to arrive from Bricklink. I won a lot at an auction with an almost complete Black Falcon's Fortress and a Forestmen's River Fortress. Both of the falcon flag's clips were broken though, and the yellow flags as well. So I've ordered replacements. In the meantime I've glued the broken falcon flag onto a flagpole/antenna piece. Would be a shame to throw it away. :) Here: In the real one I'm using those strings with studs on the ends and they are connected to those technic axle pieces. It might work better with regular string though, since the ones I'm using now are a bit stiff, so they don't roll up perfectly.
