Small and portable! Excellent for moving around as well as concealing ... this could prove useful.

.... vile temptress! /plots maybe -- @ NiceMarmot Silly question... but did you actually DRAW all the little things in GIMP? or was there some sort of clip art?

:thumbup: Happy birthday! Yay on Haggrid cake!

Why didn't you say something on Monday? :(

Master Cartographer Gex! We are in awe of your work. Your fine work is recognized and very much appreciated. With these maps people of Kaliphlin shall be able to travel and trade safely! Yakob Another TWO fantastic free builds from you! We are truely blessed to have one such as yourself in our midst! Though I'm surprised how neat and tidy the out side is. I would have expected raw materials, partially completed ballisticas etc etc gracing the front of the the yard. Mieky Functionally fantastic build. Clean. Simple. I could totally see this being how someone would actually build this. as well as the super realistic use of lumber supports. Great job! -- With about 2 weeks to good many of us either finished or well on their way with our towers, we should set our eyes on some of the FREE BUILD items... Specifically I think we should concentrate and start building up our cities! Obviously not build ALL of Petraea , or Barqa or Qakyar - but let's build some buildings in it! Like a tailor shop, or the front gate, or a garrison, or any of the free build ideas... I see where our cities are on the map. but I want to see what they LOOK LIKE. Careful Avolonian friend, I would not admit to such crimes in public. The High King Darconian has set out harsh punishments for those that make war on other guilds.

This is the first year I've seen this - and I have to say I'm impressed with your coding prowess... that calender page is megabloxin' slick.

Well. That's a pretty fantastic castle. but you knew that. Instead I'm going to comment on that fabulous Photoshop work. It really adds a lot to the over all presentation. Though your odd wall angles are definitely my favourite part of the build.

Duckmobile is definitely cool. But your DUCKS are plain AWESOME. great work.

hahah the basement is by far the best part. I love the little AC unit. And the penguins are super cute :)

I like the fact that it's instantly recognizable (with touches from the movie which I won't name) WITHOUT A MINIFIG! Nicely done :)

Batman drops in and says hello....

Artorious Rex, we have sorry to have lost your way with us. I was very much looking forward to helping find and rebuild your lost empire. We bid you farewell, and you shall always be welcome at my table. While the Desert area does make up a large portion of our realm - the peripheral areas which you might have inhabited might have been more to your liking and your brick collection. It is true, we have very strong allegiance to our friends from the east. But in these times of unease - as a friend to another, do take the proper precautions - as not all is as it seems. And I'm an honourable Dwarf! Dextrus Flagg.

The irony of this post ;) Congratulations on your newest Tag/Title [Your Trebuchet is AWESOME!] The finest Black Liquors are currently on the way from Kaliphlin capital to celebrate! Yes, titles are a special thing, they should be treated as sign of appreciation. Even if sometimes they're not as 'flattering' as they seem

Hardiel Fantastic progress! I'm really liking that transition to from brown to bley. Great little fort-tower. Overall it looks very nice and clean - thought the path ... seems lacking. Those curved dark tan pieces look really good, but the regular tan ... I feel that you could do something interesting there. maybe lower a path? maybe snotted tan and have the dark tan sit on top of it? maybe a few dark tan tiles that make up a quasi path? -- Dugal - some fin suggestions you have provided. Bridgehaven sounds pretty good. or maybe something less obviously a bridge - like something crossing - Queen's Cross or narrow cross... or maybe we should leave it unnamed until someone builds us an interesting crossing worthy to be named! Who's up for the challenge of building some sort of river over water ... in a desert? Master Cartographer Gex - I look forward to your next edition of our maps. And I congratulate you on your new coat of arms, as well as the Cartography paints that keep you in business.

Thanks for all the comments everyone! appreciate it. I had definitely the lighting in mind and built the moc around it. Though a few days removed from the photo shoot the neon green might have come out a bit much... maybe more subdued next time I'm not sure if that's a complement or an insult ?

Lord Khelperth Darwyn of Avalonia, how gracious of you to come down to our lands. There was a bit of a cuffle over borders - but nothing that can't be easily rectified between great friends such as us. As the trees grow the borders do get lost at times. Centuries ago, your map was accurate - the border did lie at the edge of the forest. But the tree line has dipped somewhat into the south... I believe the border now actually runs through the Withering Woods, though obviously most of the forest lies still within Avolina, with some of the meager trees surviving in the south. As I haven't actually ridden any Griffins lately, I'm not sure exactly where the border lies... though I assume if you just moved it slightly north - that would be sufficient... and reviewing some of the other old maps from the other realms, it seems the Arabki river that runs through our lands is slightly further south before it cuts towards the ocean... -- As a side note - after careful examination of the 5 maps, I'm astounded how awesome they are and how they actually all fit together - you guys really did a good job. (And really don't kill your self too much fixing the maps - it's just for illustration purposes... it's not like we're waring over borders..... )

Dugal MacLean, welcome! welcome! We have heard... stories of your ... acts. All are welcome. A clean slate for any and all who wish to join us. Now about those 'rumours' we have heard ... truely you jest - flees that make Drow infertle? That is just plain silly, they're naturally infertile. We will humbly accept your oath and your word. Now that you are under our banner, no war will be raised while the High King Darconian sits on the throne and commands us. Kcaj Nosnikta, ah! another learned man in our fold, welcome welcome. I hope you will share with us your knowledge and experience. Gex. Fantastic marketplace. definitely liking the Persian flare. I hope those Mountain Mummies aren't causing trouble. Chief Justice Lego , we look forward to your eventual arrival. While we have heard of this 'gun powder' with advanced dwarven magic, it is not common place in any of the realms and is prone to accidents. So we try to avoid it when possible. As for architecture, we are aiming for more medieval feel so we're not completely out of line with the other guilds. Though I wouldn't mind seeing some European flair with the vastness of our realm, there is no end in possibilities. What wonderful model you have there. It looks so real, I can't even tell it's made out of lego Seriously - those would make a great basis for some sets, and really that's what we're here for, and the purpose of these guilds is to promote building and offer a some constructive feed back and support for all builders -old and new (and for a month out of the dark ages those are fantastic! ... I won't shame myself by posting my first few mocs ) --- I have received unsubstantiated reports that the High King is pleased with our works, and may offer us some tokens of his appreciation.... so keep up the good work everyone!

Ah! The old market shop! Fantastic place to get my produce for the week! Though those Mountain Mummies sure drive a hard bargin! Fun build :)

Having a consolidated place for all the maps floating around was a bit of deficiency on the part of the Guild Leaders. So good initive on your part to combine them all in a single place. Though I don't really think we need to be stickied post - we should probably move the maps (or at least the latest version) in the main Historica/Challenge thread. What this thread could be use for is discussion on said maps - an interguild meeting spot for cartographers and map aficionados to discuss and debate the fine points of border negotiations...

Happy birthday Ricky!

Victor Fries takes a break from his work and kneels before his wife and looks upon her frozen face... frozen tears build in his eyes until he can't look any longer. "My Love ... My Nora..." "I do it for you. I will do anything for you." "I will save you...."

Wahil! The wait for the sand stone mines was well worth it! The fabled red tower is sensational! I am a loss for words my friend. The tales of it's beauty were surely understated. [i really don't have many comments, it looks fantastic. Though the top looks a bit tall... maybe a brick or two lower? unless it's going to have a large light or something 2 stories tall?!? - really fantastic work] Axel - More fantastic work. We shall have an army that is envy of the four kingdoms soon enough! ---- Okay so I took some time and redid the first post. Every person's origin story is linked (so feel free to change/update the first story). As well as started up the index for all the builds so far. While we don't have that many towers built relative to the rest of the guilds, we have a couple of great ones... keep up the great work all! (I also added a challenge idea list - I'll clean it up when I have a bit more time - if you're interested in building anything let me know and i'll add your name beside it :)

I like it. The desert streches as far as a griffin can fly, and as flat as a swords blade. It is not always necessary to build the tallest tower to see when your enemy approaches.... Those are some interesting pieces you use for the base there. Though those 2x2 areas are just DYING for something... maybe a little grash? or some water pails? supplies maybe?

Absolutely gorgeous work. I loved how you put it in the three separate time references. Lots of great details in here. I particularly like the arches.

hahah awesome defences ! Great moc and fantastic way to introduce your self! Welcome aboard!
