    Found it alright. Pretty great, though perhaps it could be better in the hands of the official designers. I envision it as a smaller companion piece to Rivendell. I may try this in stud.io and see what I come up with.

    Lothlorien, with a similar feel as the old Ewok village could make for a great set. A few magnificent trees with flets in the upper branches, connected by bridges, Galadriel and the mirror as a centre-piece, the Nimrodel flowing past, or maybe the Anduin & some canoes?

    Editing to include three votes without editing the initial comment. #1- 9. Kritch (as above) #2- 15. notmarvei - lots to like here, but it's the hint of the curved cabin wall is what clinches this for me. #3- 26. Justus - very clean design (and presentation), limiting the palette of colours used was a great choice.

    As simple as it is in terms of construction, number nine made me laugh out loud at my laptop here. My vote to the Wolverine corner (9. Kritch)

    Is it yours? Well done on it. I went through the whole 400 earlier, and only gave out four "loved it"s, so you're in good company.

    I am somewhat curious about this myself. My approach (if I get around to it) would be to build it out in stud.io - that will allow me to check for connection points on the angled half. I would probably do as mentioned above - keep one layer of plates/tiles between the baseplate and the underside of the castle full connections on the aligned side, with a mix of mostly tiles, with a few connection points on the other. A few questions do we display will castle in fully closed position or fully open position (or somewhere in between)? Is it important that the removable section leading to drawbridge is still removeable?

    I think my favourite smaller set is this: https://www.bricklink.com/r3/designer-program/series-1/104/Caravan-Theatre . While not strictly 'medieval', it can certainly be made so with the slightest mods. A lot of good stuff mentioned in thread already. This one has not: https://www.bricklink.com/r3/designer-program/series-1/618/Medieval-Joiner's-Workshop . The overall design is nothing groundbreaking, and could maybe use a once-over from a secondary designer, but there's a lot of very clever things going on in it the more I look. And I absolutely love the colours.

    Brictronic on YouTube does a lot of electric stuff, and has covered parts of this - how to convert the power to attach to the mains: His userbase is not massive, so still a small enough channel that he'd likely answer your questions directly if you asked him over there. He's also on both of the Irish LUG websites if you went looking. Do note, he is in Ireland so AC/DC concerns may vary if you are in the US or some different supply zone. Well worth a subscription, he does interesting work with trains, electrics and Arduino programming.

    I'm just throwing the Castle out there as the nearest comparison - it's similar in size. (And maybe more importantly - it's recent enough to have it's price aligned with the recent bumps). I think my perceived lack of value might be something to do with the general shape and silhouette of it. It's all negative space and spindly bits compared to the sheer bulk of the Castle. And then when you do see something filling up your vision, it's a gazillion 1x1 tiles and half as many leaves. Despite you having the footprint stats there in black and white, I am still equating them mentally as having roughly the same footprint :D I'll wait to see it in person, but for now, that's a no from me dawg.

    I'm with you there. It's a decent set, but not mind-blowing, feels like some posters are stuck on the hype train. The price is exorbitant, and a good 1000 of the piece count are 1x1 tiles or leaves. (The roof looks like a nightmare to build too). I just don't see any value here compared to say, the recent Castle. Too rich for my blood, and I'm generally okay with blowing disposable income on this kind of thing. Maybe if it were closer to a €350/€400 price point. ...all that said, my GF is a massive LotR fan so I may not get much say in the matter.

    I may be incorrect, but Rivendell looks like this MOC from rebrickeable: https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-62284/LegoMocLoc/ucs-rivendell-complete-bundle/#details

    You could add 'style lego' to your prompts and see what it comes up with :P
  13. Yoggington
    Oh these are simple & innovative. Excellent as haunted armor pieces. Well done.

    How big is your display? Big enough for a working train loop? If so, I would start with the train, station & tracks, and work outwards from there. A lot of your later layout will depend on the train. Farmhouse/ranch, gallows, & traveling cart-salesman are some builds that come to mind.

    Here's a curated collection from various creators: https://www.flickr.com/groups/westernlego/ Just searching specifically on flickr gets plenty additional results too: https://www.flickr.com/search/?text=western lego

    Happily supported. I like how you've created the half-timber effect in the wars by building plate out.

    I think the unpopular opinion is that stickers are perfectly fine, and I don't get what people's complaints are? Feels cheaper? Well yes, but it's generally is cheaper, so money saved for more lego. Crooked sticker placement? Git gud. In fact I think it's even a pro to get stickers rather than a con. You can leave the sticker un-applied and now you have a more flexible brick for mocs, plus a sticker you can place anywhere you like.

    Same here. At first I thought, "nice Mother's Day present I suppose.." Since then I've bought the bonsai, roses, sunflowers, orchid and three sets of the main bouquet :D Love the look of the Wildflower bouquet. A definite purchase. Dried flowers look good, but they don't exactly sit in a vase on the mantle, and if they lay loose like that it's a recipe for disaster in my home.

    I love this. Like a comic store or board game place with a little communal area at the back for the locals to play and practice. For the bric-a-brac shop, I am picturing something along the lines of the shop from Gremlins - lots of nooks and crannies and stacked shelves and excuses to references older lego lines with easter eggs. With a store of this style, it's also an excuse to have a more asian style of facade on the front - like American bones to the building but with an obviously-added-later facade. With a building this style, maybe some kind of asian food mart or restaraunt is a natural neighbour, and the whole thing can have something a little more Ninjago in style.

    I find it hilarious when people clamour for the leak, then make their mind up based on the leak, then double down because they've committed their opinions to the internet and god forbid they trot it back. Hold your damn horses people! The only real flaw I see here is the choice of reddish brown corner tiles on dark red, that was .. a choice. Maybe the greenhouse roof coulda taken a bit more thought too? Outside of those minor (fixable) quibbles, this is as good as the Police Station was. I'll pick it up in April or so.

    Hype hype! Good to finally hear what you're after. There goes more than half my ideas :D I'll see what I can come up with, and if I have the time to follow through on a build.
  22. Yoggington
    Wow, this is fantastic work. Well done.
  23. Yoggington
    *Gets hype*

    Fantastic stuff pal, thanks. I figured some of this out, but I'm not sure how I missed the earlier version downloads before. I've gone back to 2.22.11(1) and it's running just fine once more. No issue in four hours of running.

    Is there any way to rollback to a previous version of Stud.io? I installed the latest update (via the patcher) a few days ago and am seeing a repetitive issue, wherein if you touch any programme on your desktop that is not Studio, then Studio gets caught and hangs forever until you force it quit. Maybe it recovers the files you were working on at time of next load, maybe it doesn't. Either way, it's extremely frustrating to load the same project 20 times per hour (and some work lost along the way), and my preferred approach would be to re-install the older version without the bug, and turn off the patching tool until the bug is resolved in some future version. I run on Mac for the record. So questions; 1) Where can I find a .dmg file for a version previous to 2.22.11(4)? (Alternately, does the program itself feature steps to rollback from within?) 2) Is it possible to turn off the patch tool and stop getting the updates? 3) Where would I file a bug report?
