    I like it, very clean and aesthetically pleasing. The only thing that could have been done better, in my opinion, are the foundations of the two corner towers. They seem a bit too massive and blocky, I'd recommend trying steeper slopes to smoothen them up a bit.

    Very cool! I like the brickbuilt base, and the more modern part for the Aquanaut's suit seems very fitting.

    In the yellow castle remake the tudor parts should be black and white with red roofs, I think. At least that's how it is in set 1592.

    Whoa, that's a lot of bamboo leaves. I think I spotted a skunk among them, which shouldn't be there, as it's a North American animal. The pumpkins also come from America and feel out of place in medieval Europe. Otherwise, a splendid, most impressive creation.

    Sorry for the offtopic, but are there any fan remakes of 6080 out there that are more faithful to the original than this set? I mean, keeping the overall shape and features. I've seen numerous remakes of 6074, for example, but 6080 seems to be getting little attention.

    Now that's hilarious, and creative, too. Great job!

    Ha ha ha! I love it! The only thing that bugs me a little is the color of the horns, which doesn't match that of the molded goats.

    Heh, 383 was my starting point, as I stated in the first post.

    Sorry for bumping the thread, but I came up with this: The design of the horse is inspired by the one from set 6193. It may look cartoonish, but I took a liking to this kind of chibi-cutesy aesthetic. LEGO is just a toy after all, and not meant to be taken completely seriously, right?
  10. Corydoras
    Never heard of that one, thanks!

    I'm looking for a neat brickbuilt minifig scale horse idea for my castle layout. It has to be sturdy, not overly sophisticated, but not too primitive either, and ideally come with a brickbuilt barding. An updated design from set 383 would be perfect for me, and I have already tried tinkering with it, but I have a hard time redesigning the head. Any tips or blueprints? For all you goat lovers (God, this sounds wrong!) out there, let me share with you some brickbuilt goats of my own idea:

    I believe it's this hairpiece: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=88286&idColor=120#T=C&C=120

    I don't know - and don't care - how high you got, but just for your information, I managed to find the photo I was talking about:

    Terribly sorry to bump the thread, but I'm looking for a photo of a prototype set that I've seen years ago and just can't seem to find anywhere anymore. It was incredibly blurry and showed a sorta fairy-taleish castle in a forest, populated by strange minifigures with grotesquely oversized heads that made them resemble chibi characters (as far as I remember, they seemed to have these kind of parts instead of standard minifigure heads). Anyone knows where to find this one?

    They could have used a brick with an axle hole instead of a brick with a pin hole + halfpin.

    Hilarious! Great job. Yellow works surprisingly well as a background, not any less well than tan.

    Then you'd have stairs on the outer side of the wall, lol.

    The main reason I disliked the theme is the fact that I'm allergic to furry/anthro stuff. I just can't help it the very concept of ripped animal people strikes me as bizarre and repulsive. Even as a kid I used to be somewhat disturbed by shows like "Biker Mice from Mars", and now I routinely block furry artists on deviantart with the help of a handy browser extension. Besides, Chima was meant to replace my then-favorite Ninjago as the new "big bang theme", and probably contributed to the 2013 "final battle" wave of Ninago being kind of lackluster. Or so I think at least.

    Camilla herself doesn't seem to come in 41689, only her legs.

    From the very moment I first saw the Creator castle, I thought the part of the build right above the smithy, the living quarters of sorts, reminded me of something, but I wasn't quite sure what. Now I know, and can't unsee it: it's a gypsy wagon! Add some wheels and a horse, and it could roll on a happy journey. Well, it already has one huge wheel, so it only needs three more...

    I love them! They are all so cool I can't decide which one is my favorite! Is that Robby the Robot one the bottom photo?
  22. Corydoras
    Issue solved! Turns out I must have disabled the snapping function by accident.

    Since yesterday I've been experiencing an issue with Stud.io that basically renders the application unusable for me. No parts seem to be able to connect with each other except basic bricks&plates in studs up orientation, and even then I have to manually push one brick/plate onto the other with much precision as they refuse to snap on their own. Sometimes the upper brick/plate will lock in a sort of "hovering" position over the studs on the lower one, creating a weird gap between the two parts. Is this a general issue that's going to be fixed by the devs or is it just me? I tried reinstalling the application, but it didn't work.

    Ah, Insectoids! A much underrated theme, which I fondly remember from my childhood. Nice job on the remake of its flagship set. The only part I'm not too sold on is the front arms/pincers design, I liked them more how they originally were.

    I think you've made a mistake here. Otherwise, a good review of an interesting set.
