    Ooo yes, the bigger you go the more nightmare it becomes! My "photography-study" is already to small for a 50x50 build

    Here I am, dG! After the last challenge, I felt a bit tired so I decided to build a bit slower That's also the reason why I won't have a huuuge entry to the Anniversary Challenge (especially not a 100x100 build, which is just jaw-dropping Henjin!). At this moment, I'm trying to develop Avonhem with some more freebuilds, but you already knew that In any case, it indeed looks like we're all doing a little summer-sleep. I hope that'll change soon!

    Tudor-styled buildings to rule the world!

    A tutorial to this kind of half-timbered tudor-styled houses can now be found on BrickBuilt! Thanks Faladrin! I'm sorry to say, but there's no interior (I'm not SK ). Will try to do so in my next build though! Thank you Kai! Glad you like the microfigs, since they must be one of my favoured details of this MOC! If this seems a lot of dark green, you should defenitely go check out one of Blufiji's builds Greens and browns are the typical Avalonian colourscheme. Thanks for commenting! Well, clean DC is ZC And you're absolutely right about those windows man! You make me blush, Garm. You make me feel like this is CCC-winning level (which it is not, to be honest). I really tried to use as little texture as possible, and though it feels weird I can't say I dislike it. Lanterns are, again, inspired by ZC. Thank you for the tips on building a tree, I think I will now try to corporate at least one tree in every MOC, so as to "train" myself Thanks dG, not only for commenting but also for letting me use Benoic! I really like details, so I'm glad you like them too You're what? No fan of... tudor-style? Go join the darklands, man No, thanks sir! Thank you! Good to hear it'll never get old, since there's more of this to come Where you are going the way of more texture, I'm trying less texture with every build. A it weird, but I think it turned out nice Glad you noticed the border, since you are the first one and I do actually like it a lot!

    Had already seen this (and drooled over it) on Flickr, but I still find it lovely Though there's way too much texture for my taste, I think you're absolutely nailing the worn-down look. I really like the woodwork, especially the diagonal beams, and waterfall is awesome If I had to remark something, it would be the minifig. If you ask me, it's legs don't fit with it's torso Lastly, I have to say something about these rocks. Are you crazy man? Because these rocks defenitely are Though I've never tried something like that myself, I can imagine it must be very hard to pull off. Respect, sir

    Welcome to the best (well, that may be disputed. In any way the coolest ) guild!

    Finally back in Avalonia, Lord Stark and Alric are making the tiring journey to their homesteads. Luckily, they will not have to sleep under the stars this night: Lord Ceron of Avonhem has offered them a bed for the night and a place at his fire! Avonhem is a small lordship located in the Avalonian heartland, next to the river of Avonmora and downstream of it's big neighbour Sionnach. It's leading family has since long pledged it's swords to the rulers of Benoic, though it has been quite some time they actually had to bare steel for their overlords. It's support to Benoic's war efforts has more come in the form of grain and livestock to feed the glorious troops. Finally back to building in my beloved Avalonian style. Inspiration by ZC and DC, and special thanks goes to @Blufiji for comment and aid while building, and to @de Gothia for letting me use his county. Hope you like it, CC not only very welcome, but also craved for (especially on the tree. As a true Avalonian, I'm ashamed to admit that my trees could be way better). Long live the Avalonian dragon!

    Well, the salty sea water would quickly tear away the wood
  9. TitusV
    Wow. Just wow. First of all, some things I've already said before, but I can't help repeating: your landscaping is just gorgeous. The multiple shades of water work very well, and you defenitely showed mastery of the rockwork-technique. Secondly, some (maybe) new things: the colourscheme is absolutely fantastic. The bright green-olive green combo works far better than I would ever have expected. Though wooden buildings would be quite unhandy IRL, as you told me yourself, the reddish/dark brown just adds that tiny bit of flavour needed. My last remarks go to the building. I know how you've struggled with them, but man, in the end they turned out sooooo lovely Splitting up the main keep into multiple smaller towers accomplished miracles, and the wooden sections are ingenious! I also really, really like your roofs Keep surprising me, good sir
  10. TitusV
    Sweet! I really like the landscaping, and the colourscheme is very nice too (especially the dark tan for the timbered sections ) Yea, I've found BB a very useful site as well
  11. TitusV
    Awesome, TM! I always love collabs, and this is no exception all the details are great, as is the landscaping. All the minifigs are lovely, and you posed them very well. A last remark goes to the small tent with the red-yellow cross, which is just yummy Keep it up!
  12. TitusV
    A very cool lay-out and simple yet effective decorations (like the double horizontal stripe) makes for a nice build, though personally I would have left the baseplate away (it's studs distract a bit from hte main build, IMHO)
  13. TitusV
    Thank you! Good to see you like the fleshies! Being believable is something I always try to achieve, and as such a great comment, so thanks! Thanks TM! Though I (almost) always include rocks in my build, this time I tried to change my style a bit so as to more resemble your Gatehouse style And the more details, the merrier! Thanks for commenting, glad you like it! I experimented a bit with a few not so common and darker colours, like dark green and dark orange, so it's good to see you like them. AndI'll Always try to become a better builder, sir. Thanks for commenting, and of course for organising the Summer Joust (withouth which this build wouldn't exist). Thanks! It certainly was a pain-in-the-megablocks to build :wink
  14. TitusV
    Awesome build TM! There's so much to love here: the excellent colourscheme (though I think normal green wouldn't hurt ), all the war-restants scattered about (the dummy, the swords, his wand,...) and of course the roofs I can only imagine how all these angles come together, but you actually built it! Gorgeous Oh, before I forget: a special thumbs-up for the weather vane on top of the tower!
  15. TitusV
    Thank you sir! A bit more height would probably have been cool, you're right there! Thanks, Muakhah! Every detail you mentioned has been inspired by DC's Flickr stream Thanks Henjin! Indeed, I should have made the wall a bit higher. Some texturing on the courtyard wouldn't have hurt too, though there I really wanted to focus on the details I tried to put all over the place. Thank you! The texturing is completely your idea, I just copied it from Tíre Gatehouse Yea, I had to order a lot of reddish brown tiles for the Grand Griffon, and I'm now trying to put them to good use Thanks SK! Glad you like the colourscheme, I've been wanting to do a dark brown/reddish brown combo for quite some time now. An angle would have been really cool, but would have required even more thinking out of the general lay-out and I don't know wether I would have managed that in the (relatively) short time I had to build this, cause I had to enter it into some competition on Flickr If that's the feeling this build kindles, I feel really honoured Especially if it means we can expect a medieval build from you soon?

    These teasers look epic man! I really am looking forward to seeing them come to life! Also a pity you weren't able to participate in the SJ...
  17. TitusV
    Welcome to the guilds, Souinotlim! Looking forward to your builds!
  18. TitusV
    You're welcome, looking forward to your builds!

    It's good to see you'll be joining our mighty guild, Phadeout! As for your question: no, I don't think it's very up-to-date. The most complete version of the map has been drawn by @Henjin_Quilones, some pages back in this thread. Maybe he could re-post it? In any case, I have a county on the Kaliphlin border, next to @Bregir's Trifork (with who I have an alliance, and marriage ties) in the south-eastern corner. But not for very long anymore...
  20. TitusV
    If I'd rebuild one, I wouldn't have bricks left for the other... But we should defenitely come over and team up for a convention one day! Next time I come to NZ, I'll let you know As for Germany... That's actually not that far from me, you know!
  21. TitusV
    What a great use of these corn pieces! I also like the barrel, and the car is just awesome! Overall, a very nice build!
  22. TitusV
    Considering the fact we're from three different continents, I think that's very unlikely... Considering the fact that my two entries are already torn down, I think it's quite impossible... A pity though, I would have loved it as well!
  23. TitusV
    What? You wanted even more texture? inbelievable... Though,as Kai said, the line between the tudor and the stone section could indeed use some. Everything else is really cool, with a very nice colourscheme and great details (like the use of that rifle! ). A special thumbs-up for the tree as well!
  24. TitusV
    Though I have little love to spare for the Darklands, my heart makes an exception for it's marvellous swamps. You, and some other like Blufiji, really created a "world in a world" there, with it's own building styles, vegetation and looks. IMHO, this is something to be proud of As for the build itself: just ! Colours are excellent, as you always manage to do, photgraphy is even better (poor smoke machine!), and the fact that you didn't add figs only contributes to the lonely atmosphere created. Yet another top-notch build from you, sir. Hats off
  25. TitusV
    Wow... Awesome build! Though there's too much texture for my taste, and it May be a bit hard to distingiush the tower from the main part, this is all compensated by the marvellous colour-scheme and lovely lay-out. With this as a first MOC for our Guild, I can only imagine what you will be building in a year or so...
