Thanks! Glad you like it! Thank you! I wrestled with the interior a bit, because i didn't plan it in LDD. Just the bed, and the fireplace. Thanks! I didn't want to go with the purple at first, but then i took my guildmates' advice. I like it! I wanted to get purple for the window shutters to, but couldn't get in on BL. Thank you! A had to think a lot about how to build the roof. I checked a ton of mocs for ideas, but still had no clue. I think, for a beginner it is a very hard part of a building. I am satisfied with the outcome! I like the armor holder/ mannequin too! Came out nicely! I think i will place the backpack on its front side. For the smoke i used "white ice cream scoops" parts at first, but then it just popped up in my mind to use these "white plume feather" parts, and luckily i found some extras in my Elves sets. Thanks very much! Yeah, i wanted to put a lot of goodies inside. I will build the rocks under the house as well- what you can see on the LDD picture. And, i am planning a 32x32 baseplate diorama too. Just need to save some money for bricks. Thank you! You know this is my third moc after my dark ages, and at first i thought i cannot build anymore. I felt that as i'm becoming older, my imagination is just deteriorating. But i am happy, because it seems i was wrong! As i started to build, the ideas started coming! Now i know, i am still capable of creating, like when i was young! Not just with Lego. My colorful imagination is still there! Maybe it was just inactive.

I like it! Made me smile!

Nice!

Amazing! :)

I like both of them very much!

Nice! You gave me the idea, so I am planning to use a LED light keychain Nya figure as an amazon figure or something. She is just a little bit bigger than the minifigs.

I like it! Congrats!

Hello residents of Historica! Would like to happily present my third moc. This is my second moc for GoH, and Nocturnus. (You can check the first one here, which is a vignette.) I built this moc in LDD first, because i've started to use that program not too long ago, and i am liking it very much. This way i can try a lot of things, and variations on a moc, and if i decide to build it in real life, i can save a lot on bricks, because of the parts list provided by LDD. I wrote a short story again, and continue to give you some background information on my character, Gutkeled the Tangled. Here we go! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Saga of Gutkeled the Tangled II. From the Cradle to the Vague I.: After Gutkeled the Tangled saved Cailleach Bheur, they agreed to team up and travel together temporarily. They headed south south- east, towards the coast. The mighty Kyrrath Mountains indicated the right direction for a while. Both of them could use the company, and it was safer together. Lots of nasty things were going on in the grim and dark lands of Nocturnus on any day, but now with the civil war raging, it was more than worse. Nobody was safe! Eventually they reached Skavenport, and paid for a ferry to one of the nearby islands, where Gutkeled had a small boat, and a cabin deep on the bayou. He invited Cally for a meal. - Cozy wee but an' ben ye got here! - took a looksy around, as she sat down. - Thank you! I've build it with my two hands! Carved it out of the wilderness here. Kind of reminds me of home! - said Gutkeled, and served some food, and refreshments. - How lang have ye been living here? - asked Cally before the first bite into a scone. - A few years i guess! Who counts, eh?! - smiled the taciturn man, with a face full of buns. - Come on! Whit are ye feart of, loon! Cat got yer tongue?! No gaun to sit here in silence, listening to yer munching! Tell me a tale from yer early years! Whit did ye dae as a bairn?! Where did ye live? - forced the vamp a story, so Gutkeled gave into it. - Okay- okay! Just let me collect my thoughts, and swallow my morsel! Those were eventful years of my life for sure. - sighed the man, then began. - When I reminisce about all those years, I see many things. Life and death strung together, like the meadows and forests in which we lived. There was family and adventure, but also solitude and uncertainty. There was laughter and joy, and there was also sadness, and tears. But even more than tears, blood was shed. And so many were left to their unadorned graves, unburied. But to me, death was just another journey. Through the darkness, which i'm striding unflinchingly into the unknown, on a path paved with gray stone. And after all, when I reminisce about those years, I mostly remember green. Endless forest on the West, began from an end, filled with magic. Mysterious, and proud folk with pointy ears shaped like mine. Eerie atmosphere all around, isles constantly covered in thick fog. Light drizzle falling on me face. Mother's long ginger hair dancing in the cool, early moring breeze, as we were scouting the trail father suppose to arrive with the rising sun. Sometimes you could catch the gleam of his sword's blade on a clear day... - Wus he a knight? Yer auld man? - Cailleach slid to the edge of her chair curiously, interrupting Gutkeled's monologue. - Well, he was a warrior if needed. Always in the heart. A wanderer, seeker of forgotten tales, poet on other days. He was from the frozen lands, all year snow and mountains. Long nights and ale contests, pale lights and pine forests. Leifr Bárðrsson, clansman. Son of Bárðr, and Þórunn - the yellowish green faced man described his father, and his background passionately. - Dinna fancy they norsemen. Their blood is somehow feels cauld. Brrr!!! Shiver runs doon ma spine just as ah think of it! Whit did ya put in ma medd anyway? Tastes like a wicked witch on a rainy day! - twitched the woman from the bitter beverage that her host introduced her to. - It's the blood berry, Cally! That is what gives its sourness, and the scarlet color. I call this marsh mead. Fremented it meself - smirked Gutkeled, and sipped some from his green goblet. - Now that ye mention blood, ah wull need some soon! Cannot live on mead, bannock and buns. No offense chiel! Ye're a good cook, but ah just need a wee bit of me poison if ye ken what ah mean! Don't we aw?! - grinned the hungry vampire, as her eyes lit up with a twinkle, and her fangs appeared in her opened mouth. - All right! All right! Let me just finish my meal, and then i'll escort you to somebody i know, and can help you out with your... needs! - capitulated Gutkeled, and started to destroy the rest of the contents of his plate. - Guid! Ca' canny now! Don't choke on it! On oor way, ye can tell me mair aboot yerself! - pried the lady a bit. She was interested in Gutkeled. Saw something in him. Didn't know what. Yet! Maybe potential, opportunity! One thing was for sure. He didn't look like an average tree hugger, or a frost- blooded. The skin, the ears... Was he some kind of drow, or elf? Was Gutkeled even his real name? And what was about with that death thing? Too many questions rose up in the mind of Cailleach Bheur, but she had to wait a wee bit to learn everything. She knew she must tag along! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The cabin in LDD: Original LDD version: hut001_6 by Erhard Maas, on Flickr In real life: Updated: IMG_20170131_130413 by Erhard Maas, on Flickr IMG_20170131_130453 by Erhard Maas, on Flickr IMG_20170131_130610 by Erhard Maas, on Flickr IMG_20170131_130543 by Erhard Maas, on Flickr Interior: IMG_20170124_105217 by Erhard Maas, on Flickr IMG_20170124_105253 by Erhard Maas, on Flickr IMG_20170124_105324 by Erhard Maas, on Flickr Thanks for watching! C&C welcome! More pictures here!

Big fan of Elves, mostly the colors caught my attention, and it is an alternative, since there is no Castle theme these days. My first set was the Starlight Inn. Like what you did with the place! Congrats!

Amazing! Congrats!

Like the fighter very much! Also the toilets!

Fantastic! Congrats!

Very nice MOC. I like that carriage very much! You definitely captured the Classic Castle feeling!

Nice! I like how they are chained to the walls. Dragon Masters, Wolfpack... The good ol' days!

Hello Nocturnians! My swamp hut will be ready soon! I have a question. Do you think that this backpack is "lore friendly" to use in GoH? Or is it too modern? Cannot recall, if i've seen it on any of the MOCs around here.

I like it! Congrats!

@Exetrius: I like your army very much! Ninjago offers some beautiful torsos and stuff! Which face did you use for your general's head? What torso is that on the guy with the envelope? I love that type of helmet (which has the golden horns here).

@en_zoo: Glad you like it! To be honest, the story was kinda freestyle. Made it up on the way. And it's not even on my native language... @LittleJohn: Thanks! I like that trans- green & lime combo too! Like the orange spike on the lime plant as well! Had to sacrifice, and cut that chain in half, in the name of art! I just had the general idea of the scene, the rest i made up during the building process. The fine details. Best ideas came to me, when i am in the process of doing something. In the past few weeks i started to use LDD, so i can plan my future MOCs before i buy the bricks, and i will know exactly what, and how much bricks i will need. I was skeptical before about LDD, but i must confess, I'm loving it!

My fav now is the gas mask variant! LINK

These are wonderful! Congrats! Love them all!

Fantastic! This is why i love Lego & Eurobricks! I missed some of them before! Thanks for sharing!

Don't know the movie, but these characters look cute! Congrats!

Thanks for the input everybody! Today i've made some BL orders, and i will build that second house. The little hut in the swamp. I only have money now for the building itself; the swamp will have to wait a little bit. Also, i couldn't find every brick in that color, and shape, so i had to make some small changes. I hope it will turn out nice. Plus, i will try to work on the floor/ base, but right now i couldn't buy tiles, and stuff in reddish brown. I had an idea, because i couldn't buy enough dark purple slope 30s for the roof. What if i put some of the roof slope 30s in black color? Like it was damaged, and repaired with different color or something. (How can i put someone's nick in my post, so that he/ she can see, that i mentioned him/ her? The dark red thingy around their name.)

I love this!

Very nice, i like them! Is this Zotharith can be found in Nocturnus?
