I didn't do the intended priest MOC after all, because time was running out. But at least I took this scary shot with the priest an some random background IMG_7028 by Ralf Langer, auf Flickr

Thanks! Jonas used a fog/smoke machine to achieve the light. Take a look at the bold man in the third picture. Looks like he has a wooden arm. Maybe he was a former carpenter (or axemen). Those times were hard back then... @all Thanks for your kind words!

Hi, Travis Brickle, Simon NH and me built a series showing the process of manufacturing wood. Check them out if you don't know them already, those guys are really awesome.

Here's the whole thing :-) As you can see, I haven't built the shield, only a very large block. It wasn't intended for display, only a "short" build for the competition. https://roguebricks.de/forum/index.php?thread/1588-niemals-auf-bäume-klettern-rennen/ I was asked to display it at a museum in chigaco, but I already disassembled it yesterday.

This is a rurtle - half rock, half turtle. I made this for the Summer Joust 2018 competition. Rock Tortoise by Ralf Langer, auf Flickr It was kind of an accident. I didn't really wanted to do an animal. But I liked the idea to do a shield and place ruins and trees on it. So I started to build a turtle head. Well, this is what it became. The head is not photoshopped or strenghtend. It's pure Lego. I had to attach a massive Lego counter weight on the other side.

Very nice! I love it!

Thanks a lot, guys! @Gary The Procrastinator Clean builds? Me? I suppose that's only because I hadn't enough time to stuff all the backgrounds Usually I'm the one with the uncleanest buildings you coud imagine Glad to hear you like the photoraphy. That was one of my weakest points and very hard and time cosuming but I thinkt it's getting better.

I did this for a competition on RogueBricks. You might have seen other entries here. Very rushed, I only had a few days. But I think the gag (and the monastry) are worth having a look. Cheers OneWeek by Ralf Langer, auf Flickr

The Roof is connected via hinges vertically and horizontally. So it's 8 hinges altogether. You can achieve much more drastic effects with this technique if you want.

Yes, he would be great. But I even think Shakespear is too expensive Ewald could work, too.

Don't like the colour too much. I would have loved to get some similar body in white or even violett. Otherwise it will be only a small vignette. Not really worth the effort of getting a special body. I will build a part of a chapel.

I added red shoes, Looks a little better now.

The robe is quite cool. This could work. Otherwise I'll stay with this version. I tried. No way. It's much to large and looks totally different. But It was worth a try. Thanks to all of you!

Hm... I thought a medieval priest would have the same clothes as a catholic priest today. But not quite. This is what I'm lookiing for. The shakespear hair is a good idea though! myspace delete account The Shakespear Minifig is too expensive.

Hi! Do you know minifg parts that could help me create a medieval priest or is there even a whole figure? The parts have to be original Lego, no stickers, prints or customizing allowed.

Actually I used this carrot, it wasn't a club. The medieval marketplace was a great set! And I rarely really like Lego sets.

Hello everyone! I just figured out that there is a "welcome" thread here and I haven't introduced myself properly yet. Mea culpa! My real name is Ralf and I already posted some MOCs here. https://www.flickr.com/people/154489981@N04/ I'm an IT specialist, working and living in cologne. A few years ago a colleague of mine showed me an online picture of the VW transporter. This finally resulted in me buying a 42009 technic truck crane, following a used UCS imperial shuttle and then the parisian restaurant. The restaurant was by far the most interesting and pleasing build for me, so I bought other modulars (which some of them I haven't even built yet). Well, eventually I bought a used 10 KG (22 Pounds) collection of bricks. I spent almost two years only buying collections, building up my stock and selling the parts I (supposedly) would not need - what a waste of time in retrospection. Eventually I had a real large collection without haven't build anything yet. I had absolutey no idea where and how to start. I wasn't sure if I had any talent at all and probably wasted years for nothing, but somehow I was confident. I didn't want to look at guides or other builds because I wanted to do it on my own and find my own style. When building my first MOC I realized how horrible unstable Lego can get and that bulding at a larger scale is a whole different world. I realized that I somehow had to divide it in moduls as it got to large, to unstable and to heavy. I also had to cut it down in size and only finished 1/3 of it. I'm still very proud of it though. And though it's build horribly, the result is quite pleasing and I'm still in love with all it's curves. It was finished late 2017 and since then I accomplished to do some other MOCs. Funnily I was refered to as a "castle" builder ocassionally. I'm not. I like medieval themes because of the dirt and the imperfection but I do (or will do) City, SF and Art Themes as well. I have a large list of ideas I'd like to build. Currently I take part in the Summer Joust - so it's medieval again. Please feel always free to correct my english and to critizise my MOCs! Most people are to polite to mention mistakes. Please do! I't s hard to find out everything on your own so I count on your feedback! I mostly write in german forums; Eurobricks seems to be quite large, diversified and a bit intimedating. Maybe this will change in time! Have fun Ralf

Thanks! I used them in almost every MOC but it was most often way to subtle and could have been replaced by tan easily. Yellowed light grey can be fun, too. It makes a real good transition from grey to olive. I think those discoloured bricks support my dirty, baroque style of building. I used a dark brown club instead I made it kinda melt with the background though.

Thanks a lot grover! It's really rewarding for me to see someone feels inspired! I love MOCs that work on multiple levels and add something extra besides of just looking good. And so I try to do the same. I'm not quite sure about posting here, though. It seems most of the people use flickr anyway so forums seem a bit redundant? Maybe I will present only the huge MOCs here?

Lots of yellowed white! And yes, I also think the door is one of the best parts here.It looks much better in reality.

Hello, I interrupted my normal building to take part in the summer joust. Some people think of dragons and knights, my topic for the summer joust (12 x 12 category) is less romantic. Guardyloo is the warning called from above before the night pots are emptied. Well, this is medieval isn't it? The build itself was quite easy this time though it's full of strange techniques. Take a look at the grey plates that are stuck between the dark grey plates to simulate a gutter for example. Guardyloo! by Ralf Langer, auf Flickr

You are welcome! Show me when you do some nice doors :-D I won't do anything in this type of style for a few MOCs :-(

Hello, I'd like you to show all the doors I've build for my last MOC. Some of them are quite tricky, others really simple (when you don't have to figure out everything on your own and just see the result). As you can see I use a technique here quite often that allows offsets that are not fixed. #1 Take a look at door #1. There is an extra inlet. You can put it into the frame and still move it. The trick is that you have to have several "segments". This fixes the inlet so that it stays in place. You could easily use this techniqe for exhibitions without worrying that something falls off. => the more segments, the more tight it is. Do not use only one segment. #2 same technique, different pattern. Note the colour usage in the outer frame: very light gray(!), light gray, yellowed light gray, bluish light grey and olive. #3 This one is really complicated because of the alternating brick directions. Think of two levels. One is used horizontally and the other vertically to connect the corresponding bricks in the back. #4 Easy (once you have the pattern) to build and looks very elegant. I love this one. #5 It's like #3 with a little simpler form. #6 Once again very easy to build from a picture, but it takes some time to figure out patterns that work. Which is your favourite one?

Hi, Maybe my brief tuturial can help. Feel free to ask and I open en extra thread where I can show you this in full detail. I did a simpler form of this in my first moc. Take a look at that, too. It uses less brick types and helps to get an understanding. The Front - Fantasy medieval like house front - Lego MOC by Ralf Langer, auf Flickr I needed to do this several times till I got it finally right. The trick is to use bricks that have an offset (jumper, rail-brick) and to use moveable 1x2 tiles inbetween. Unfortunately this is much harder than it sounds because 1x2 tiles, well there are tiles, don't allow to build upon them. There are some patterns that work. Start with two 1x2 plates, a rail brick and a tile. BHTextures by Ralf Langer, auf Flickr

You only have to tell me what DBG means? I wanted to add links here for tutorials or add a new thread... I'm not certain what the best way is. Coming soon nevertheless.
