    Oh my, how beautiful! I love how the stone and vegetation interact in a coherent and harmonious way to create the shape of the dragon ...

    @Simon_S Thank you so much for those kind words! I really had a lot of fun designing and building it...

    My entry to the "Gradient" category of the 2022 Summer Joust. And also an Historican urban legend... Noone really knows if Galder survived the encounter, to which Guild he belonged, or even if he actually existed. But anyways. This, kids, is why you shall not forget to deactivate your planar portal once you're done with today's experiment.

    The serie 22 foal is also rumoured to be recoloured in white for this year's City Advent calendar! I don't know what the budget for Advent Calendars is, but it would be the very first time there's something I find as awesome in such a set. Other than that, at least the violin from series 21 made an appearance in two Vidiyo sets. But the Vidiyo theme was not really limited in terms of new moulds !

    Interesting indeed... Like @Accio Lego, first thing I'm thinking of are a deer doe and a fawn in city wildlife sets. The fawn could also be included in a Winter Village set (and the dreamer in me still hopes for a fawn in this year's WW set). In the same serie of wildlife city sets, I'd also envision new moulds for a bear cub, a wolf and wolf cubs. And just with that I've already reached the five-animals limit! I was still thinking of an update of the current parrot mould (seems absolutely necessary to keep on par with all the recent bird moulds), and of a unicorn in a HP set...

    Hmmmm...I can't say I'm thrilled by those new sets. I agree with you that the brickbuilt creatures could look good in a fantasy setting, but I'm not entirely convinced by their design. Something with the wings. I'm pretty sure we'll see great MOCs using their parts though! Aside from that, I do like the vegetation in those sets: quite inspiring and featuring nice recolored parts. I need glow in dark carrots!
  7. Aurore
    Oh wow, I absolutely love the rockwork and the uneven shape of the stairs. Excellent part usage on the vegetation as well. I also really enjoy how the main character blends into the background while the salamander stands out!
  8. Aurore
    This is excellent! The long-and-lean footprint of the build really suits the shop and is perfect for the giant bookcase. I also love the basement - and the kitty dutifully protecting the books from rodents!

    @LordDan Thank you so much! I have to admit the rat tunnel, while being the smaller "level", is my personal favourite. I'm really glad you noticed and appreciated the details! @Kai NRG Thank you very much! The Starry Night was a late addition, but the print is incredibly beautiful and I thought it would go well in a treasure room... PS: oh yes, you do need shrunken skeleton heads. They're the cutest thing ever. Sort of. @Frike Thank you so much for those heartwarming words! I had a lot of fun designing each level as if it was a room in some dungeon-crawling game, with plenty of details to keep "players" entertained... @socalbricks Thank you very much! I'm definitely thrilled that the rat tunnel, painting and storage room ladder get so much appreciation! The Eriaxis Monstrosa began as a delicate, alien-looking plant for the desk of my sci-fi lover of a husband...but halfway through its construction it made me think of all the beautifully coloured vegetation that has been created here on GoH for the Kolgari...and gave me the idea for the whole build.

    Fleshing out Embervale Castle...and taking part in this year's Summer Joust, in the "Subterranean" category. --- Guard Captain's log, arcane date-time 140630B SUM 1322 Intruders broke into the basement. Two killed, two captured. One vanished. No own casualty. Minor material damage. Prisoners interrogated: they’re from the Adventurers' Guild, tasked to retrieve some magic gizmo (see attached drawing). Contracting party unknown. They had a map marking the hidden room in Lord Dresghar's cheese cellar. I'm off to the city to have a word with the representative of said Adventurers' Guild. Side note: the trap in the goblins’ crypt was triggered. No need to feed the plant-thing below before next week. --- Level 0: from the scullery, access to the well and to the storage room below (with a handy goods elevator - carrying barrels while using a ladder is quite a delicate task). Level -1: just a regular storage room, with food and jumble. Level -2: the goblin guards' crypt. The idol's pedestal is held together only due to the friction of its side plates. Messing with it - e.g. removing the idol - triggers a trapdoor that leads direcly to the lower level. Concealed behind a sturdy, regular stone wall without any secret door, this level also includes a treasure room shielded by a shadowguard... Level -3: let me introduce you to Eriaxis Monstrosa, a subterranean carnivorous plant from the Kolgari realm, that definitely appreciates the snacks the trapdoor above keeps sending it! Level -4: the cheese cellar and the well. And a secret door hidden in the wall, that leads to a (rather disappointing) secret room...

    Mine will show up tomorrow! Great news for the baby crocagator's eyes...and the colour of the owl! I thought it was reddish brown, but dark orange sounds way cooler!
  12. Aurore
    Hmm...nope. Right. But I'm still convinced they'll find a way of including a frog!
  13. Aurore
    I'm pretty sure there will be a frog in the moat, too! New animal-wise, I'm wishing this castle would bring us a new falcon mould...one that would be on par with all the nicely detailed birds we've had lately! And if it's a gyrfalcon, I'll be on cloud nine!
  14. Aurore
    @williejm And I'd be very disappointed if I'm proven wrong! Marvelgator-blue eyes on a green-ish croc, again...that would be awful.... But oh my, blue eyes would look so great on a white, leucistic croc! EDIT : not entierly unrelated but slightly so, the egg with eye makes a comeback in one of the summer Ninjago sets. I'd have expected to see it in Jurassic World before Ninjago...
  15. Aurore
    Well...to me the eyes of the baby croc don't look less black than the eyes of the minifigs or the eyes of the hare on any of Stonewars' higher resolution photos...Definitely not Marvelgator-blue anyways.
  16. Aurore
    I don't think so : no blue-eyed critter on the image of the set on Brickset...
  17. Aurore
    A new owl print seems to be coming in BAM, according to an IG photo...A tan version of the spread wings mould, with greay chest feathers.
  18. Aurore
    Am I dreaming? Isn't it a new owl print with that amazing wizard in the BAM minifig photo?? And those minifigs in the Viking ship set...great prints...gorgeous new winged hairpiece... bis
  19. Aurore
    I noticed them too a few weeks ago and ordered them out of pure curiosity. So, well, at the latest, we'll have the answer in a few months when I will get the order!

    The only barding I have fits on a modern horse mould but, obviously, prevents hind leg movement. I noticed that this particular barding is from 2012 which, as far as I know, is also the year when the new horse mould showed up - but they did not come in the same sets. Edit : @Lyichir was quicker and more accurate than me! I'm wondering whether there are structural differences between the "older" barding mould (2490) and the "newer" one (13744) ? I mean, other than the shape of the trim (what is even the name of that kind of decor in english)?
  21. Aurore
    Mine arrived this week! They may not be that many, but they're mighty and well trained!
  22. Aurore
    Hmmm...The leaked preliminary image features a female minifig with a very interesting hair+winged helmet combo. Maybe a reuse of the one from Thor's Goat Boat? Or could Creator have the budget for a new mould?
  23. Aurore
    I don't think so...It looks thicker (as thick as the candle part, I'd say), and built from individual elements with 2 leaves each. (Here is the link to Brickset's high res image)

    New Super Mario sets have been revealed, and I quite like the crown part on the Princess Peach minifigure-character-thingy in set 71403. Might be useful for castle decor or something. The vine part in set 71409 is rather nice too.
  25. Aurore
    My main hopes for this set are 1) many animals and 2) many civilian minifigs. And if the castle itself is pretty, I may even build it and display it instead of using its parts for MOCs.
