Thanks! Yeah, most of the kids reaction was just oh I recognize that it's Ninjago, which was to be expected haha, but there was one kid who first gave a really long look and then just went 'oh that moc is garbage' which nearly made me laugh out loud.. and another kid which tried to convince his dad that this was based on a movie he saw

Thanks guys! A pro photographer took a few snapshots from my display at the event, which got shared with the organisers which eventually shared them with me; I took this one myself: The lighting was really bad at the event, only a few spotlights worked, I did take this pic during the event set-up, however the detail I added to the empty right area later on (because I had ran out of parts) isn't on this pic sadly and the quality is aweful so all togheter it doesn't do it any justice:

Addendum: Pretty much a MOD version of Beau Donnan's Steam Walkerette, the Nofu mdl 177 is supposed to be the Mech equivalent of a really old early gen tractor. Also part of my event display, set in an alternate universe Dieselpunk inspired Japan.

I was questioning whether to post this in Sci-Fi, Historical or here. I kind of relate Dieselpunk a bit to the old Adventurers line which may have subconsiously inspired me a bit here as well so hence I chose to post it here. Part of my event display, set in an alternate universe Dieselpunk inspired Japan, this is a part of the terrain. The Motor Carriage, heavily inspired by the Coupris Kineema from the excellent Disco Elysium. Another part of the terrain. The Imperial Motor Lorry is heavily inspired by the various Motor Lorries from the excellent Disco Elysium. ___ More pics of my event display and it's various set pieces may or may not follow...

Incredible, I'd definitely buy all of these if they were sets, wow.

Thanks for the kind words, I took care to make every part of the ship accessible for minifigs. Behind the captain you can see there is a hole there which there is a ladder (this piece: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=6020&name=Bar 7 x 3 with 2 Clips (Ladder)&category=[Bar]#T=S&O={"iconly":0} ) to connect the upper and lower level. Sadly the ladder piece itself is just out of view in the photo.

The small sovereign nation of Albion has send forth their Ironclad coal powered exploration vessel nicknamed 'The Dauntless'.

The other side is essentially the front side but mirrored, so it's identical.

Thanks Feuer Thanks, yeah I can see that, I like it this way also but I understand where you are coming from

You can do the same thing with purist LEGO too, the point is that it's a wonderful example of a realistic medieval army not whether it's purist or not

Have you heard? Rumour has it there is an old temple afloat out there, where a cult has settled worshipping some eldritch god or whatnot, just a rumour though. Now they say there is quite a bit of treasure in that temple, yet no pirates have managed to seize it yet, see they say that this cult protects the temple through deploying these scouts, Watchers they say. Use some kind of telescoped rifle to pick off threats, go figure that some kind of religious sniper zealots... what is this world coming to. ___ I wasn't really planning to enter the fig on a vig category for Wandering Skies, but then I got inspired by Keith Thompson's amazing art.

Oh no, I don't mean to come of as rude or anything (it is hard to read a persons intentions or mood through a piece of text), however I just think if you are going to build a huge army then making it something like this example which is still pretty huge with 500+ minifigs, but all of them are unique to a degree is much cooler then if that was 250 vs 250 nearly identical minifigs. edit* google for historical medieval armies, most of the (historic) art depicts very diverce and interesting looking armies, which the video I linked also proved can be done.

As you said, it strongly depends, some armies might have been very similarly dressed/indentifiable individuals, but a lot of armies throughout history also didn't. As far as I know if we are talking about middle ages/medieval armies then an Army of 'X' amount of identical minifigs does not look realistic at all. At the same time somebody who isn't a history buff won't care for accuracies and bringing something to an event like a huge battle scene most people won't really know what is 'right' or 'wrong' from a historic standpoint, besides if it is fantasy then it doesn't really matter as anything goes.

The fig with the Chima legs is the one ya'll be talking about? I think it's fake because somebody used the Chima legs (doubt Lego would reuse a Chima print for a new CMF). A new orc/troll type fig would be neat though.

Perhaps but somehow something like a 3 month period feels more 'right' to me, I share the sentiment that a little over a month seems awefully short and will not give all folks who might be interested in participating a chance.

Great battle, are the glass panes customs?

This is quite the banger, love the fence.

Looks like a great way to display 'war gaming' units lego style, I might have to borrow the base design. The figs and scenes are great

Thanks Feuer, perhaps capital was the word I was looking for however when I googled it I found: "corporal punishment, physical chastisement of an offender. At one extreme it includes the death penalty, but the term usually refers to punishments like flogging, caning, mutilation, and branding."

Great work, definitely looks like a set I'd buy!

Thanks! Yes the wall technique worked out better then I expected.

Justice Road, reknown for it's display of corporeal punishments. ___ Not counting figbarfs I think this is my first castle moc since returning from my Dark Ages, heh I used to build almost nothing but Castle. I had an idea to make this since playing Kingdom Come Deliverance (which I highly recommend to any Castle fans, history buffs or gamers!) and was inspired by one of the earlier parts of the game which I'd rather not spoil.

Very realistic vibes, epic build

These are really cool, well done!

Looks great!
