    What a wonderful collection of pigs! And way to put them all to good use here The ground colors all work very well together, and I like the SNOT tan path. The dark orange grass stalks add a nice touch of vegetation too.

    My third contribution to the Kaliphlin at Work collab, and also my first entry to this year’s CCC, for the Interior category. This build was both a joy and a pain to build. Some parts of it came together very quickly, while others – well, they came together less quickly. In the end though, I’m very happy with the result. Credit for the lion mosaic goes to @Basiliscus, I pretty much just copied his design from this magnificent build. While working in the gardens of Lord Farih’s estate, Nym heard that there was going to be a dance in the great hall. Being the curious and slightly mischievous Dwelf that he is, Nym decided it would be alright – yes, even a fine idea – to slip in and watch the dance for a while. After all, he was sure that Lord Farih had every intention of inviting him, but had just forgotten amidst all the numerous tasks that had to be done to plan a dance. And what a grand dance it was! The various noblemen and women wore their finest clothes and twirled gracefully around the hall. Nym was enjoying himself greatly when he noticed some fine chairs set by themselves under elaborate awnings. Curious as to why such grand seats would be left empty, Nym sat down on the right most chair and found it amazingly comfortable. He hardly had time to settle in before finding himself looking down the blade of a very sharp sword. Farih’s guards quickly made it clear to Nym that those chairs were not meant to be occupied by lowly gardeners, while his own charming demeanor quickly convinced the Sargent that he had no ill intentions – he was merely testing the seat’s cushions, to be sure they were proper for royalty. After assuring them he would do no further ‘testing’, they politely escorted him out of the hall. What an experience! More pictures: And just in case you were in doubt, there are people working here! Poor scribes never get a break... Lots more pictures on Brickbuilt! Thanks for looking, C&C welcome

    Thank you very much Muakhah, glad you like it! I really am curious as to what your critique is though, if you are willing to tell me Thanks Basiliscus, it was a lot of fun doing an all-LEGO scene. And yep, time limitations kept these first couple builds from me quite small. Glad you like it! Thank you Gideon! And good suggestion, I'll have to keep that in mind for future builds Thanks! I really enjoyed putting that cloth piece to use here Thank you! Thanks Grover, the various spices were a lot of fun to make. Thank you zoth! Thanks Kai, I really enjoy using a wide variety of colors in Kaliphlin builds. Glad you like it! Thanks HQ! Yeah, in hindsight the tree may not have been the best idea Ah well. Something to keep in mind for next time. Glad you like how the broken brown parts work, I was quite proud of that myself! Thank you Windusky! Thanks dG, it was fun trying an all-LEGO scene here

    My second contribution to the Kaliphlin at Work collab. It was fun creating another immersive scene, this time making use of our newly acquired dark orange and medium dark flesh tiles for the courtyard. While continuing his travels through Kaliphlin, Nym found work at a wealthy Lord’s estate tending to his gardens, in exchange for food and lodging. And of course, Nym could never say no to gardening work! He gladly accepted the position, and immediately began tending the plants – watering them, making sure the beds were completely devoid of any weeds, and harvesting fruits and vegetables when necessary. More pictures and a behind the scenes look on Brickbuilt! Comments and criticism welcome as always

    While strolling through one of Katoren’s bustling marketplaces, Nym spotted a spice merchant with a wide variety of herbs and spices for sale. He never could resist the opportunity to learn more about plants, herbs, and, well, really anything that grows, so he hurried over to examine them more closely. More pictures and a behind the scenes look on Brickbuilt! My first build for the Kaliphlin at Work collab. While coming up with possible build ideas, I thought of a spice merchant. Creating the various herbs and spices was quite fun, I even found a use for a few of our multitude of broken brown parts! As always, comments and criticism are very welcome

    Excellent way to start things off! The house is very nice, and I love the style consistency you have going with the dark red stripe for the buildings of Mophet. Beautiful aqueduct too, and having the wooden gate nearby to close it is a neat touch. The rooftop is superb as well, the bowl of cherries and the awning are lovely details. Looking forward to seeing you continue to develop Mophet

    We thought you Mitgardians might enjoy the sight of something other than snow, so we decided to give you a flurry of sand instead!

    Better finish all of your backstabbing and quarrels soon, a sandstorm is coming!
  12. LittleJohn
    Better grab on to your precious tights and trees, treehuggers, because you're about to be blown away by our sandstorm of builds!

    Oh no, they definitely don't want you back. Definitely not. Nope. They want you to go far, far away. Where? Well, Kaliphlin is looking nice this time of year... Seems like a great spot to go. Yup. Lovely weather. And beaches! With palm trees! Pretty much paradise, if you ask me. In all seriousness, it's great to see you back! Hope to see a build from you soon

    A really wonderful build, Servertijd! The lush landscaping is superb, and I like the mushrooms scattered throughout. Having the crumbling archways on bits of rockwork looks great Fullplate's tree really fits the build perfectly, the one branch overhanging the road is an excellent touch. I love the swampy water in the back corner too

    Welcome to the Guilds, Bracari! You're off to a great start already. The trees are very well done with the various slopes used at the bottom to make roots, and the apples are nice too. Looking forward to seeing the rest of the farm! Isaac, myself, and a few guest contributors, have done several tree tutorials on Brickbuilt. The first 6 posts on this page show them all. Derfel Cadarn also covers a few designs in his Guide to Building a Medieval Village. Hopefully some of these are useful to you

    It's been a while, but I finally got another free-build up:

    This was my contribution to the Guilds of Historica collaboration at Brickworld this year. I built the entire landscape and started on the buildings, before getting Isaac’s help to finish the model in time. The base split into three portions, and all the buildings were easily removable to allow for convenient transport of the build. It had been a while since I’d done a proper Kaliphlin scene, so it was a really fun build and I think turned out quite well. Also, there are quite a few sig-figs throughout the build. Can you find all of them? Lots more pictures on Brickbuilt. Thanks for looking, and as always, C&C are very welcome

    It's good to see so many members, both new and old, joining the greatest guild! I can't wait to see all the builds you all come up with.
