  1. Nice build; it's very cute!
  2. This is a really beautiful castle and the surrounding buildings frame it well. An altogether well balanced and inspiring scene.
  3. Wow this is an awe inspiring MOC! Just epic!
  4. Love it! Can't say I'd like to play aginst a team dressed in armour though!
  5. Thank yoy. No optical illusion the loop is sloped and does indeed fall from left to right, You're right, it did dent the wallet a little bit! I agree to a certain extent regarding large armies and I don't intend to expand this one any further. The bigger the army the more difficult it becomes to photograph a MOC. I plan to make a pretty big battle with it this summer and these guys are just the right size.
  6. I really like your design and it would be great to see it in real Lego, though I'm at a current piece count of over 10,000 I guess it could knock a pretty big dent in your finances! Perhaps you could build a smaller version (1 storey or something) , or perhaps just a portion of it... Cheers MW
  7. Cheers both, I'm rather pleased with it!
  8. This isn't exactly a Castle army, but at the moment it's the closest I've got so thought I'd share it with you here. This is my Roman Army. It comprises of: 52 Legionaries, 20 Auxiliary Infantry, 8 Auxiliary Cavalry, 7 Auxiliary Archers, 3 standard bearers, 2 Cornicen, 2 Centurions, 1 Military Tribune / Legate 1 Legate / Emperor Thanks for viewing MW
  9. Interesting stuff - though I don't know enough about American history to guess the symbology. I hope this means that there are more Civil War MOCs on the way!
  10. Great scene ElviN - bring on the modules!
  11. Great action scene! I'm looking forward to seeing the tutorial too!
  12. I really like this series of MOCs, Greg. I look forward to seeing future ones!
  13. Cheers songwm! Thanks very much! Thanks very much Gary, I really like your historical stuff too, especially the Civil War MOCs - keep up the good work! Cheers frumpy! Thanks very much!
  14. Hi there I have to admit that I made this MOC a few months back but did not post it here at the time because I was not then active on Eurobricks. Now that I am active, I thought I might as well share it with you! It’s the first MOC I made following my emergence from my Dark Ages, which roughly speaking, lasted around 15 years. There are a few things I would do differently now but on the whole I am pleased, especially with the Minifigure shots. Anyway, constructive criticism is always welcome. The MOC depicts the turning point in Julius Caesar’s Siege of the Gaulish city of Alesia in 52 BC. In the spring of that year the Gallic tribes once again rose against Caesar, this time under the leadership of Vercingetorix, a skilled leader. Though the Gauls experienced some success early on, over the summer Caesar succeeded in scattering their army. Recognising his tenuous position Vercingetorix chose to avoid further pitched battles, instead retreating to the Mandubii fort of Alesia, from where he sent cavalry to raise a fresh army. Caesar’s response was to embark on a massive feat of engineering whereby he encircled Alesia with two lines of fortification and encamped between them. Food ran short in the fort and in desperation Vercingetorix forced out those unable to fight – the old, the sick, the women and the children. Though they begged to be taken into slavery, Caesar refused their pleadings and rejected by both friend and foe, they starved to death between the Gallic and Roman lines. In September, the Gallic relieving force, estimated to be a quarter of a million strong, arrived at the Roman lines. Both the relieving force and Vercingetorix army flung themselves at Caesar’s fortifications but were repeatedly driven back. Two of the Roman legions were encamped together beneath a hillside to the north of the fort. Recognising this weakness, 60,000 of the relieving troops were moved round the back of hill under the cover of darkness. The following day they launched an attack from above the camp, while the remainder of the force attacked on the plane and Vercingetorix attacked from within. The Gauls on the hillside poured over the fortifications and the thinly spread legionnaires could do little but hold them at bay, using their pila as spears. Meanwhile Caesar had managed to repulse Vercingetorix and the remaining Gauls and rallying his cavalry charged towards the beleaguered camp. Relieved by their general the Romans launched their pila into the Gallic throng and charged. Caught between the legionaries and the cavalry, the Gauls were slaughtered. Recognising the defeat, Vercingetorix surrendered the following day. Many thanks for viewing. MW
  15. Kings Mountain Fortress was my first castle set and was always one of my favorites. I also found my old one the other day but have not had the patience to put it back together again... I have a feeling that quite a lot of the bricks will be missing if I try :( Anyway, I like what you've done with yours!
  16. I'm lost for words - that is one amazing feat of Lego! So much beautiful detail.
  17. This is a stunning creation. I like the attention to detail you have lavished on all the internal rooms as well as the bustling atmosphere you've created with your minifigures. With all the different things going on it;s really hard to pick a favorite part, but I think for me, it's the little observatory that sits upon the spire of the tower - you would have to be one gutsy astronomer to climb up there every day!
  18. This is indeed a great little MOC. I really like the subtle landscaping features, it all feels very organic.
  19. Personally, I'd just like to see a Hans Moleman minifigure. Until then, I have no interest in anything in the Simpsons line. Bring on the Moleman!
  20. This is really, really nice. I think it's scale is perfect and makes it a quite realistic fortified houstead.
  21. This is a fantasic little build. The fact that you've built functioning blades and millstone really makes it stand out from other MOCs of this kind. Thanks for posting!
  22. God I hope so, if nothing else it probably would bring the price of the existing MFs down. I peronally love the battle goddess, the new shield and headgear look anazing. I hope these will be one of the more common MFs. As for the rest, I'm not that fussed, though the swashbuckler looks quite nice.
  23. You need to contribute 10 posts to the forums before you can access profile information. ...at least that's what happened with my account.
  24. This really is a beautiful model. I especially like the wway the castle is framed by the pond and the foliage - and the colour palette is just perfect!
  25. Blimey that's a lot bigger than my modern-ish British semi-detached house! ...I must be doing something wrong That said, there're no One Direction albums anywhere on the propery, so it's got that going for it Great job, btw! (...and good luck with the exams and dissertation)
