The Maestro

The steep roof really gives off that norse vibe, and the dark blue throws in an element of fantasy. The rounded base is another great detail. My only complaint would be the tree, I thing flex tube would look much better instead of the round 1x1s

Great work mate, sometimes when you increase the size of your builds you lose detail and other vital things, but here you have retained that while making such a large display. The green and olive works great here, very avalonian. The cliffs are a bit study, but that is fine. I like the stonework, and I appreciate how you used round tiles instead of the 1x2s, it gives it a much more "village/non-military" vibe. The windmill is a bit skinny and straight up for my liking, but the landscaping around it is fantastic

Good to get my hands on mine today, thanks for everything Ecc, I look foward to more comps like this in the future.

Hey guys come on, no need to put us down. Just because because your guilds can't grow proper trees Up Avalonia!

You already know what I think o it from flickr, but I gotta add, it makes me want to build a wonky tower again. Also the photos look way better now, and it doesn't have that plastic look anymore. Honoured that you should take such inspiration. I definitely think you out did any of mine though

I have sent my shipping info to Ecc, but then again, I live in NZ, so not the best person to ask

Haha, come on man, this ain't something to joke about we all know Avalonia is the champion guild In saying that, I have finally built something for your guild. I hope it fits in, I tried to include as much of an empty sandy wasteland kinda vibe as possible

New(ish) build from me, but this time set in Kaliphlin. Good to hear. Member are always welcome in the greatest Guild in Historica! Sounds like you will have plenty of inspiration and a good part collection is always a good start. It means you don't have to drain your wallet on bricklink.

After being forced out of his home by the Kaliphlin Civil War Badr the Botanist fled the capital, and took refuge by an oasis, the perfect place to continue his work. He lived a lonely life, but he was at peace. That is until a messenger from his former university stumbled upon his simple abode. Finally he builds for Kaliphlin! Fist official build of the year, I built this in early February, but only got round to posting it now because of school (and trying to stretch out my builds to make it look like I post regularly. A new sub-genre for me and I thought it was about time I branched out. Also two things have arrived in the mail (a while back now but till of great importance). a) Kingdom Come: Deliverance, look it up if you haven't heard of it. It has become my number 1 game and if you love anything medieval, you should consider this game. I mean it doesn't only look amazing, but the game play is great as well. b) I finally used up my CBC prize and got some Brickwarriors stuff, which has given me some much needed inspiration. I don't love using custom stuff, but when trying to make stuff realistic, its kinda a must have. C&C needed and hope you enjoy :)

Well that's certainly something you don't see everyday. What a weird but wonderful combination. I would certainly like to see the idea expanded upon, because so far it looks sick That rock work is great, and the buildings look on spot as always.

Yes would be correct Lord Bevis, to formally join the guilds all you have to do is post an image of your sigfig and write a small bio about him/her/it. Welcome to the guilds, and I look forward to seeing your Mocs

I have never seen many mocs where they continue to develop like this, and I certainly like seeing the evolution here. The size is impressive, but you are very consistent with your quality, which can be hard when building something so big. Keep it up and I look forward to the next update

Oh geez, maybe I shouldn't be so inactive on the guilds.... Congratulation to the other winners, and I loved seeing everyone's fantastic entries. Also thanks to Ecc for an awesome comp, the concept of the whole thing was great and I hope we get to build on it

I think I have already mentioned somewhere (must have been of flickr) that I love the oriental vibe coming from this . Reminds me a lot of a Chinese Junk and no that's not an insult, as well as the other ships you mentioned. The jumping fish are awesome, and the colours work well together. Certainly an interesting and unique entry.

Thanks man, the horse is a favourite of mine too. Thank you Kai Thanks man, I am glad you think so Well it may not be quantity but hopefully you think it's quality. Thanks mate it means alot. Thank you I didn't either actually, I changed what I planned to do last minute, and I am think I am better off for it. Thanks! Yes it was certainly a challenge, but one night a light bulb popped over my head and I set to work. The secret ingredient is stickers (official lego ones of course ). Thanks Lasse, I do too. Thanks Henjin, I have no idea where that horse came from, but I wish I could build like that more often Go ahead, it's a pretty simple design that involves a lot of lazy snot and a ton of travis bricks. If you ever (although I doubt a builder like you would need one) want a breakdown of the basic design, just flick me a message I look foward to seeing it in use.

I have had it pretty good the last two years with school, however the last three years are where the actual testing begins, so I am afraid I am plagued with homework. Combine all this with the Hockey season starting and I am a little bit stretched to find building time. Once I get a handle on this I should be right, and you might start seeing my builds appear again

I am so far loving these figs and this new lands. I really like the sound of how they came to be and the figs all fit very well together. I would love to learn about the rest of this lore and the fascinating religion of these people. The fig combos all fit really well together, and I love the colours used

A:

Nothing short of amazing, the shear scale of this blows me away and I cannot wrap my head around how detailed it is. I love this different style of architecture and that sand green roof It works so well with the black. The smithy is fantastic and the varied species really seats it apart from historica. The trees are different, and I like that you tried something that you might not usually see on the mainland. All up this is a fantastic build, I look forward to seeing more in this style

I must say, that is an unusual, but very good name. As a person with almost no ship building experience I cannot really offer critique, but I do like gold highlights and the frog on the front. I cannot wait to see this Isle of Roses

My entry into the current challenge. I am loving seeing all these Avalonian builds coming in

Here is my entry into Cat B: Thanks for the awesome categories Really enjoyed building it.

The day had started off as any other. The water was calm and the sky clear. Once out to their fishing grounds Leif called out to Isdir to drop the anchor and grab the nets. As the day dragged on storm clouds began to brew to the south. Luck, hopefully would be on their side and the storm would head towards the mainland. However only a few hours later, they were battling with the storm. Their small vessel being thrown around like a child's toy. Waves toward and crashed above them as they struggled to stay alive, almost as if they were caught in between a battle of gods. After a long rough night the water finally began to flatten, and they found themselves no longer being able to see the coast. Praying the gods were on their side now, Leif set sail for wherever fate would take him. He had heard the tales of the origins of the Elves. But that was all they had ever been. Tales. However that all changed when a towering arch rose from the horizon, A magnificent structure large enough to fit their boat through. A prancing horse with a rider top the somehow remain atop of the crumbling arch. behind it more structures rose from the seas depths, weathered but years of of harsh winds and high waves but still astounding in size and beauty. He heard Isdir mumble about the lost cities of the Elves, and I did not doubt him. Finally Leif gathered his wits and yelled to Isdir, we will camp on the rooftop over their, and then we shall sail south, just as the Elves claimed to have done. If they had truly found the Elves homeland, then who else knew what lay beyond? (bonus shot) Entry to Category B: A safe Haven. You can probably see I am no writer but I did not want this build to go with out a proper story. I built this back in October, and kept it to see if it would fit into the CCC. It didn't so I have just got round to post it on here now. I have lots of other builds ready to post on the guilds as well so watch out for them. The arch was difficult to make at first, but came together quick enough. the boat was also quite a challenge as it is my first. Hopefully you guys think it came out ok. The base was inspired by Jaapxaap and Legofin and I think it worked well here. Hope you enjoy and C&C needed

Haha, the idea of the yellow figs suppressing the flesh figs is hilarious! Although if I had to choose a side I think I would go team flesh though. Up wit the rebellion On a more serious note, I love this build as it is really unique from what we see alot of in Historica, and the backstory behind it is great. I love the different style of armour for the soldiers and the buildings in general. I also really love that windmill, the stonework technique used there is awesome

Haha, welcome to the guilds Imic! Tell me about it, I live in New Zealand and a fast package from germany comes in 1-1.5 months good old NZ postie Now wheres ye pot of gold?
