Hey TribunM, great storytelling and real shame about your parcel, I'm not a big fan of digital but I can see the vision, would love to see the real deal someday!!

Thanks for sharing!

I agree great building technique with great writing technique. Lovely combination.

I don't normally think bigger is automatically better but from the moment @evancelt posted Castle Brickington I fell in love with the stronghold so that gets my primary vote. While there is a simplicity to the main walls texture it really complements the roof/parapet/side tower as well as the window and door detailing and landscape in a way where it all comes togheter very lovely. I do really like @Ayrlego for it's technical (technique?) impressive detailed work, it's a gorgeous build, I think every build I've seen from him in the past has alway been great, so that would get my secondary vote and/or honourable mention.

Great job with the finalized build!

The brickbuilt tent is very well executed and the addition of the old ruinous elements really compliment the build adding just that little bit extra.

Hey BrickWolf, I would have loved to have had a slightly angled view of the build.

I really like the bridge, but at the same time it looks very risky to cross haha.

Thanks Nod, appreciate it.

Thanks to be honest it's actually used in a birds nest in new Lego City sets! (I think that's also where the part was actually introduced in brown). Thanks Ross!

The two men strolled through the labyrinthian streets and alleyways of Nevalle, Tiberio flanked by his Second, an elderly gentleman and true Mardierian by the name of Aldemir. Aldemir wore plain but solid lamellar armor and with a guige rested a kite shield on his back, proudly brandishing the Wyvern's Talon sigil and name sake, as well as a longsword. They approached an ornate cast iron gate, it was the entrance to the cities Vandymion stronghold, although their main estate was a ways outside of the city it was here one would come to do business and it was business that Tiberio hoped to do, despite his history. As the House Guard noticed Tiberio and his companion he scoffed; "well well if it isn't the deserter and one of his dogs"... it wasn't Tibero's pup the guard was referring to but before Tiberio or luckily Aldemir (Aldemir's hand already motioning towards his blade) had a chance to respond the gate creaked open as a woman in ornate crimson and decorated with gaudy jewelry came out. It was Bianca Vandymion, the youngest daughter of house Vandymion and the one who took Tiberio in all those years ago, Tiberio was sure of it. This might turn out alright after all. Her expression was soft and friendly, it was but a veneer behind which the true cold and calculating personality of a Vandymion hides. "My if it isn't Tibs, my attendant notified me when she saw you approaching. What in the fiery blazes are you doing back here!" Tiberio wasn't so sure of that himself, the truth was, he was desperate. With Wyvern's Talon reputation in the gutter and their coffers empty they needed good paying work and they needed it fast, even better if they could rebuild their reputation while getting paid. He put everything in on this one last bet, hoping that there was perhaps some other reason that girl took him out of the ditch that long time ago, Tiberio hoped that perhaps she had feelings for him, perhaps it was some other reason, but now he hoped he could still exploit that vulnerability that she once showed. He smiled sheepishly and got straight to the point, after all these years that was all he could think to do; "looking for work, heard there is a lot of trouble on the road these days, what with the deserters and veterans turned highwaymen and bandits" Bianca contemplated a moment before responding; "Yes, that's true, the scoundrels have been getting more and more brazen as of late, seems something is stirring. Heard Wyvern's Talon was no more though, heard they disbanded." "Not all of us." Tiberio quickly interjected, waiting for Bianca's reply. She did not wait long to respond; "You're really lucky father isn't here you know, if he wasn't back in the estate right now there would be mighty hell to pay, not sure he'll be all too pleased if he found out I hired you lot either." "Does that mean we got the job?" Tiberio smiled. Bianca smiled back, Tiberio thought this time it might even be genuine though he could not say for sure. She replied "Yeah well, we could really use some more armed escorts on these shipments that were ment to have left the city already two moons ago! Let's discuss the details inside, and then I'll have to deal with father later." "Excellent mydame, Aldemir tell the men to prepare for travel." To be continued. ___ My first vig for BOBS:TOO I hope it's up to standard, as well as the writing, as a non-native English speaker and somebody who hardly ever writes anything down, other then reports at work haha, I kinda always struggle with this stuff.

Great stuff, enjoyed the read ... and the builds ... and the map. Am looking forward to seeing more of Lorenzo and the politics going on.

Ah that's really slick, nice.

Great Castle, the size of it just feels right for me (as if it's one of the Castles I've visited throughout my life) and I love the way you made use of those classic panel pieces (that I kind of want to get now haha)... I didn't really pay attention to it on Flickr but the landscaping is also really well done. Btw are those custom window panes or stickers or actually lego? I don't recognize them.
