Well if we are going to be all precise about what does and does not make you an AFOL, I would consider myself an AFOLOTRL or an AFOSWL. Somehow that does not sound right Basically if you like Lego and you let it be part of your life in whatever way, you are an AFOL. Oh yeah, and being an adult

It kind of depends on what you want to do on the inside. If you want to leave it empty your scale is good. If you want a realistic interior you might want to make it a bit bigger to fit all the necessary features.

The 4191-1: Captain's Cabin set would never fit in the 6x6 cabin space of the 4195-1: Queen Anne's Revenge set. You could cram it all in but it was never meant to go there I think...

You must have spent a small fortune My Goblin King Battle arrived today

It is possible, but I have my doubts. The duel takes place in a room that is roughly the width of the Orthanc tower. This would mean the Orthanc would be near minifig size and I don't think I can afford that .

Looks great! also you did a good job on the editing

Great start! Scale looks to be ok I like the fig

YES! I got that set at that price. Regular set is 100 eu. Go get it!

Ok, then go get 79003-1: An Unexpected Gathering, because it is an awesome set or, if they have one, the 79004-1: Barrel Escape. You get a great variation of figs in that set

On Brickset you can find all lotr and hobbit figs. Personally I would not buy anything at the Lego store, you can get sets much cheaper online. But if you must, buy this one 79003-1: An Unexpected Gathering.

Congrats to the winners! those creations look great!

Wow, that is a great style, really like those figs

@BrickieB Great post! it was a fun read, and very helpful if I ever want to BL my own Falcon.

This event must be the LowLug meeting at the end of this month doubt it

I do the exact same thing And when people come to my house the first thing they ask "where did you buy that?" and then "are there instructions for that?" and after that some of them start building some of the sets I have laying around. Lego fun all around! Some of my friends even started collecting after I pulled them form their Dark Age

Wow, this is really annoying for those who put time and effort in these creations only to see someone else profit from them. I remember a trick someone used to "safely" share instructions with others. I will explain: Firstly do not put them on the web for everyone to download. Ask people to contact you via email if they want to obtain your instructions, for free or money does not matter. When you have some contact info of the interested person hide this info, a place only you will know where to find it, in the instructions you send them. If your instructions turn up somewhere you don't like them to be you just download/buy them and look up the info you have hidden. You then know who has "leaked" them. You can then contact this person or report them to moderators/authorities. Telling people you are using this technique to safeguard you intellectual property might keep them from "stealing" from you. Some of you may already know this but I felt like sharing this to provide a somewhat safer way of sharing instructions.

Yeah! Bought the 79010-1: The Goblin King Battle for 60 euros (50 pounds, 79 dollars) in the UK on Amazon that saved me about 40 euros compared to the regular Lego price

Looks great, did you take this from The Adventures of Asterix?

Wow, that looks great that map table is awesome

The left wing is 48, the middle 16 and the right wing is also 48. The middle part stands out 5 studs. I built the roof with these these and these, all in black of course

A WIP image added some vegetation and continued building on the left side.

Here is my Marlinspike Hall creation in LDD. I will probably never build this so I hope you will! You had some questions about this in my topic, please ask them again here and I will answer them

Wow thats 77.34 euros, about 17 euros more than the highest price we pay.

Great start! Try to add more details like dirt, bushes and tumble weeds.

A great scene indeed Those shelters are awesome
