Bentoft

Hi all In my LUG in Denmark, I am trying to make more people build castle. To make that happen we have introduced a new standard where everyone can contribute to a big layout with just a single baseplate. The layout will be a big city called Haraldsborg. Here are my first two modules: Blacksmith in Haraldsborg by Benjamin Jakobsen, on Flickr Blacksmith in Haraldsborg by Benjamin Jakobsen, on Flickr Blacksmith in Haraldsborg by Benjamin Jakobsen, on Flickr Blacksmith in Haraldsborg by Benjamin Jakobsen, on Flickr Haraldsborg baracks by Benjamin Jakobsen, on Flickr Haraldsborg baracks by Benjamin Jakobsen, on Flickr Haraldsborg baracks by Benjamin Jakobsen, on Flickr

Thanks for the nice comments! First time might have been this build: Toberg becomes a town by bentoft, on Flickr

This is build for the Lands of Rowia at Merlins Beard As fast as possible by bentoft, on Flickr As fast as possible by bentoft, on Flickr As fast as possible by bentoft, on Flickr As fast as possible by bentoft, on Flickr Story can be found here

I just wanted to share my last two interior builds: Toberg becomes a town by bentoft, on Flickr The wall is complete by bentoft, on Flickr There are more pics in my stream.

Hi there I still love this project and I have updated my map: http://bentoft.dk/lego/albion/ (mouse over building to see build) Good job all!

Thanks a lot for all the nice comments. For the building technique, I will recommend this great guide by Eilonwy77: http://mosaicbricks.blogspot.dk/2012/06/cheese-slope-mosaics-tutorial.html

This build was inspired by the great work of eilonwy77 and Sirens-Of-Titan Room at Toberg by bentoft, on Flickr

Maybe - or just the fact that I bumped this thread :-D

I have created a flickr page that could maybe generate some traffic on the the webpage: http://www.flickr.com/groups/2033098@N25/

Your thoughts/suggestions are in no way unwanted, in fact they are very much desired! I am also proud that one of my favorite builders added a figure :-D I know this might die out as soon as this thread reach page two, and that might be soon. I cannot see where the page could be on classic castle or eurobricks, but your idea with a flickr group might work well. In fact my vision is that it should be possible to join the fight just by adding a picture to a flickr group. It might be possible via the flickr api, then it would also be easy to expand, maybe even beyond lego. The elo ranking is designed to let a good player reach his true rank fast. However, a players chess skills is a little more stable than random peoples thoughts on lego figures. But I think it work ok. Would it be stupid to let new figures add a story when the old once does not have one?

I agree on all of that. The elo system would work a lot better with a lot more figures and a lot more people doing fights. Any ideas on how to make people upload figures? One person doing fights can easily get his favorite figure in top. There are however some constants in the elo system I could tune a little. When a figure wins, it can get 32 point from the other figure. That is a lot of points considering that there are only 46 figures in the game (46*1500 points). That means that the figures can jump a lot up and down the rankings.

Those of you who had problems uploading should try again. I think it will work now.

You got it

Yeah, I can see that I want to do that too. MAybe just a mouse over function to view the pictures fast.

I think i found the error and fixed it. Sorry.

I have made a small webpage where everyone can upload a Castle Figure to be coolness compared with other figures. I have implemented the elo ranking system (chess ranking) to give the figures score. It is a little hard to explain, but check it out and maybe upload your figure and join the fun: http://bentoft.dk/lego/coolestcastlefig Improvement ideas are very welcome

No, I did plan to, but I ran out of time for the contest in my LUG. But the floors can be taken off and accessed by stairs.

Wow, this is not just a great build! This is great art!

Great build. I too loves the floor. The piano is a great detail too.

I just wanted to present my first modular building ... they take a lot of bricks: BTW: this is not part of the modular madness contest. It is for a contest in my LUG in Denmark.

1. yes, more than one photo could come up. 2. Not sure I understand the question, but they are already links to the buildings thread.
