Runamuck Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 (edited) OK, so this is the first time I’m trying this, so there might be a few things that could use some refinement. I have created a little village for my castle setup, a castle for the Black knights and a few other things. A little overview of the village Again from a different angle http://img21.imageshack.us/img21/2848/img0273o.jpg The windmill, build by my brother, who has also taken all the pictures. It is loosely based on a design from one of the old idea books, but we improved it a little. The internal mechanics, the stone actually turns when the wings spin http://img38.imageshack.us/img38/8757/img0285xq.jpg The tavern Interior Close-ups of the upper and lower floor http://img135.imageshack.us/img135/6316/img0294rg.jpg http://img15.imageshack.us/img15/8287/img0295pe.jpg A little town house Interior http://img834.imageshack.us/img834/9293/img0301bi.jpg The blacksmith’s workshop Upper and lower floors http://img31.imageshack.us/img31/7659/img0305sn.jpg http://img842.imageshack.us/img842/9902/img0306qr.jpg Well….it’s the well The church I thought this was a good place to use this window http://img847.imageshack.us/img847/5158/img0311g.jpg Interior http://img130.imageshack.us/img130/5713/img0312al.jpg I’ll save the town wall and the Black Knight castle for later. Sorry about some of the pictures being a little blurry, but I hope you can make out the most important things. Edited May 21, 2011 by Rufus Indexed! Quote
Runamuck Posted April 4, 2011 Author Posted April 4, 2011 Yes, I'll get back to that with some pictures after a few more comments. It's actually my brother who build the wall around the town. Quote
Dazmundo Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 I can't believe how many Classic Grey & Red knights you have. I have 6 from 677-Knights Procession. They were only in 4 different sets so you must have been doing some collecting D Quote
lightningtiger Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 I'm impressed 'Runamuck', though my favorite is the blacksmith building, very realistic for the era ! Great work and I hope there is more to come.....keep on MOCing ! Quote
Runamuck Posted April 5, 2011 Author Posted April 5, 2011 Thanks for the replies so far. About those classic red and gray knights, I have not purposefully army build them. Call it dumb luck, but I got them in a really large lot, two big boxes in fact, at a flea market along with many other sets from the 70’s and 80’s. Anyway, let’s continue with the town wall that my brother has built. The gate building Backside completely locked down http://img546.imageshack.us/img546/4931/img0321zn.jpg The wall with towers http://img233.imageshack.us/img233/5873/img0316yp.jpg The other wall, as you can see it is built to be compatible with the Armor Shop (6041) http://img852.imageshack.us/img852/2599/img0317x.jpg And now for the Black Knights castle. With figures Without figures http://img860.imageshack.us/img860/116/img0326j.jpg Inside the gate http://img854.imageshack.us/img854/1485/img0327d.jpg The “left” side, the string is for the gate mechanism, it’s inspired by King’s Castle (6080) http://img190.imageshack.us/img190/2114/img0328v.jpg Backside http://img638.imageshack.us/img638/6840/img0329hn.jpg It even opens like some of the old-school castles do The interior of the “right” side of the castle. It’s a little place for the soldiers to get a drink and play cards, and a place for the horses to get something to eat. The outside of the “right” side of the castle. Can anyone spot what’s wrong here? http://img694.imageshack.us/img694/3816/img0336mz.jpg Quote
Gregorovich Posted April 5, 2011 Posted April 5, 2011 Excellent town, Runamuck! I really like how all the buildings are in the same style as the classic castle sets. My favourite buildings are the tavern and the church. Well done, and I can't wait to see more of your work. Quote
henryhotspurs Posted April 13, 2011 Posted April 13, 2011 Very neat stuff. Castle is one of my favorite themes and you certainly have a good start on you castle and village. My favorite scene is the two nobles being carried via human powered litter. It reminds me of the scene in "Jabberwocky" where the nobles race along the city street whipping their litter bearers and racing each other... Great brickwork! Quote
Runamuck Posted April 14, 2011 Author Posted April 14, 2011 Those Carrying thrones, or whatever they may be called, are actually based on an old alternative model from Knight's Joust 383. Nobody who has any guesses on what may be odd about the right side of the castle? Quote
Scorpiox Posted April 14, 2011 Posted April 14, 2011 Love the buildings and the castle is a nice design, good to see some old castles getting some attention. Oh, and about that side of the wall, err I have no idea. Quote
Dazmundo Posted April 14, 2011 Posted April 14, 2011 Nobody who has any guesses on what may be odd about the right side of the castle? Not a clue??? D Quote
Zeya Posted April 15, 2011 Posted April 15, 2011 The outside of the “right” side of the castle. Can anyone spot what’s wrong here? There are no stairs leading up to the chest in the attic? I guess you rub the lamp and a genie will take you up there! Quote
Runamuck Posted April 15, 2011 Author Posted April 15, 2011 Maybe I should have been a little more specific, although it is true that there aren't any stairs up to the chest. I ment on the outside of the castle: Quote
Scorpiox Posted April 15, 2011 Posted April 15, 2011 Ah ha! Is it a dark grey brick in the bottom right hand corner when the rest are light grey? Quote
Runamuck Posted April 15, 2011 Author Posted April 15, 2011 Ah ha! Is it a dark grey brick in the bottom right hand corner when the rest are light grey? No, that's just the lighting. Maybe no one can spot it because the parts are rather rare... Quote
Scorpiox Posted April 16, 2011 Posted April 16, 2011 (edited) Scorpiox has it now! One of them yellow/black wall-with-a-window-in-it thingys is upside down! Edited April 16, 2011 by Scorpiox Quote
Runamuck Posted April 16, 2011 Author Posted April 16, 2011 Scorpiox has it now! One of them yellow/black wall-with-a-window-in-it thingys is upside down! We have a winner! Yes, the middle piece is a misprint. Quote
