Meeting with Haldor, the Master Builder of Bridges
The Stad replied to Simon_S's topic in Guilds of Historica
Another amazing project from you, and a very entertaining story! I love your trees, the house, all of the interior scenes, and of course the bridge is very impressive. I hope that model castle is a hint of what's to come... -
L'Ascensione dell'Architetto (Full Collab)
The Stad replied to W Navarre's topic in Guilds of Historica
This is a monumental and very impressive undertaking. I'm glad to see such a rich story of intrigue and treachery as befits your shady, nefarious, back-stabby guild, and I love finding all the tiny details you stuffed into these compact scenes. Looking forward to the next installments! -
This is awesome. Great story, amazing details in and out, and a jaw-dropping size of project and diversity of building styles. Welcome back, and keep it up!

Book III - Mitgardia: Guild sign-up and Discussion
The Stad replied to soccerkid6's topic in Guilds of Historica
@mrcp6d I tried them from all different angles, and that didn’t seems to make any difference. Like @Ayrlego and @MKJoshA said, the dark red plastic seemed to be the deciding factor. The weirdest part was that the right arms were a visibly different plastic than the others, and it seemed uniform (not like they had been stored with one side in sunlight or something). I think the only blessing is that I don’t have a huge need for dark red arms. I doubt I’ll ever try to convert them back from Mitgardians in the future. -
Book III - Mitgardia: Guild sign-up and Discussion
The Stad replied to soccerkid6's topic in Guilds of Historica
I just had a strange -if not entirely unpredictable- experience with minifig customization. I just purchased ten of this torso to fill out the ranks of my Mitgardian regulars, and was going about swapping out the dark red arms for green, when I realized that the right arms of the assembly were a slightly different plastic than the left arms. I didn’t have to look too closely to visibly see the difference, but the real kicker was when I actually pulled the arms out, and nine of the ten right arms snapped at the socket. The left arms all came out without any issues. The torsos themselves were all fine as well. Of course, the age of the assemblies most likely had something to do with exacerbating the differences, but I still thought it seemed noteworthy. I just thought it strange that arms would be so dramatically different in quality, in the same color (nominally), and within the same torso assembly. -
Very nice work. I love the attention paid to both interior and exterior details. That roof looks very time consuming, but the result is well worth the effort.

The journey of Parzival - The Throne of Zamorah (Prologue, Part I)
The Stad replied to Zilmrud's topic in Guilds of Historica
This is an incredible series of builds! Great details on the columns, in the floor, the stained glass windows, and all the furniture. All your figure combos are really nice as well, particularly your royal guards. I'm sorry to see the story of Parzival come to such an abrupt end (if that really was his body in the tunnels...), but I hope we'll still get to see more of the story that precedes this chapter, and I can't wait to see the direction of Zamorah under its new leadership! -
That is such a cool shape! I love how the tail elements create a gnarled form, and great use of the giant tooth elements to make the roots. The only thing I’d change would be to make the top spread out a bit more, but I think that’s just personal preference. I’m eagerly awaiting the next chapter of your story. Good luck!

You've built another great moc with another excellent installment to your story. I appreciate all the little details you've squeezed into the rooms, but my favorite inclusion has to be the downspout on the outside of the armory. I'd love to see these fitted into a larger moc showing the entirety of Embarvale Castle, though I'm sure that would be staggeringly large based on the scale of the rooms you've built so far! Kudos on the documentation of your photography process, it's both informative and inspirational, and a fun peek behind the curtain!

CDC2 Ancient Wonders: The Fighting Pit of Kaliphlin
The Stad replied to Kai NRG's topic in Guilds of Historica
The scale of this thing alone is staggering, but for it to also be packed full of interesting building techniques, a slew of diverse minifigures, excellent color composition, and all-around gorgeous design, this build totally raises the bar. Outstanding. Totally amazing. -
CDC2 CMF : Aurore [Scholars & Spellcasters - and some Scammers too]
The Stad replied to Aurore's topic in Guilds of Historica
These are all so good I can’t even pick one that stands out above the rest. You have an amazing eye for figure combos, and even the surprising choices seem obvious in your hands. I will say, I’m glad Angharad wears fireproof clothing, otherwise I’d be nervous with a long flowing skirt around fire-breathing hatchlings… -
Outstanding group of figs here. It’s rare to have a group so colorful and so decked out with accessories still feel somewhat grounded (for a fantasy) and not totally over the top, but you’ve pulled it off quite nicely. Brielle is, of course, the star of this lineup. I’m amazed that a brick-built centaur fits so well at minifig scale, and the torso choice with that color scheme is just about perfect. Awesome job!

Glad to see the Dwelves are still getting some love! Great series all around.

CDC2 Ancient Wonders: Gates of Treacleheim
The Stad replied to MKJoshA's topic in Guilds of Historica
I always appreciate the truly monumental scale of so much of your work, and this is one of your best pieces yet! The angular walls and ornament, combined with the excellent statues and rock work, make this an exemplary dwarven build. Very nicely done! -
Really great collection here, and timely in its spookiness! I think the ice elemental is a particularly nice build, and the enchanted pumpkin is a fantastic throwback to the early days of GoH.

CDC2 CMF jtooker | Hired Hands of Historica
The Stad replied to jtooker's topic in Guilds of Historica
You’ve got a solid group of figs here, and I think you’ve really enhanced the series by customizing the stands and leaning into the mini builds. I’m a big fan of Thodil - I can’t think of a better use for that weapon piece! -
Awesome series, I’m especially fond of Aliạria. Great use of the Ninjago torso and legs.
-
I love all your combos, but I especially love the vignettes. Even just a tiny square of terrain and a couple extra figs help flesh out this world so much more, it’s a really cool addition. I hope you manage to do it for all your series!
-
Gorgeous work, I love the color scheme and the beautifully sculpted mausoleum. Really enjoying the story as well. Keep up the great work!

GOH Anniversary, 1st count down challenges.

*Original post updated* @Kai NRG - thanks, that build turned out much better than I had hoped. I just wish I'd been able to integrate lights into the third one as well. @mrcp6d - thank you! @Louis of Nutwood - Skol! I wish I had the bricks and time to build the ship at full minifig scale, but I doubt it would even fit in my Lego space...

*Original post updated* @Kai NRG@jtooker - Thank you! @Grover - Thank, I noticed that disparity with the screens more after you mentioned it. Something to remember in the future!

Wonderful details, great fig combinations, amazing tree, and spot-on color combinations. But what else could we expect from you? Also, I'm very envious of your dark red leaves...
