You really are a great story teller Narbilu!! Awesome job!! I also like your MOC's! The interiors are very nice and the background is very good!

Wait a minute, are these Flower Roofs?? Well come check it out yourself in West Stedor!!! Click the Holiday Card (aka the picture above) to go to the topic !!

West Stedor has been renovated. The wall, gate and towers may look the same as the previous ones, now they are stronger and have a better foundation. All the buildings in West Stedor have been replaced and put on a higher level. Now the ground level functions as stockage room. Avalonia, Mitgardia and Nocturnus have their individual stockageroom where their members can store goods. There are also 3 Kaliphlin stockagerooms. They can be recognised by the heralds of Eastgate (for West Kaliphlin), Petraea (Middle Kaliphlin) and Qarkyr (East Kaliplin). The buildings itself are different shops. The red building houses a bakery and a cartographer. The darkblue house has a butcher and cooper in it and under the arches people can buy fruit. The dark orange building is well know for their smiths, stonecutters and painters (most of them coming from Ruadh!). The green building is the very famous "Horses Head Inn". Under the Inn are stables. Not only the white striped buildings are a citymark of Stedor, also the mozaic roofs made of dried flowers are known in every corner of the world. As major Historican trading port, Mpya Stedor has cranes to lift heavy cargo. (note: it really works!) In the Market Area you can almost buy everything!! Some good wine? Check! Or a new fancy cape? Check! Or you need some barrels to store your food in? Check!! Let's see what the Market Area can offer you: - Ale seller from Mitgardia - Baker - Butcher - Cape maker (with spinningweel) - Cartographer - Cooper - Fish & Seafruits - Fruits & Vegetables - Inn - Painter - Stonecutter making statues - Weapons - Winery There is also a fortuneteller telling you everything you want to hear! After walking under the huge Main Gate of Stedor, you are welcomed by a very vibrating Main Square. People are meeting eachother here or saying goodbye, adventurers are dropping a tear before leaving the city, ... It all happens around the fountain under the Statue of Liberty. Another very popular attraction are the Warrior Games in front of the "Champions Guild". Many famous Historicans are watching now a game between a Mitgardian and a Jungle Of Gorr Warrior. Lord Damaximus is standing on the balcony of the "Champions Guild" (aka Alleenridders Palace), having a nice view over West Stedor. In front of him, workers are building a small temple. And if all the activity makes you thirsty? Well go get a beer in the Horses Head Inn!! Under the "Horses Head Inn" are the stables of West Stedor. Easily recognisable by the Camel wall painting next to it. In the lower right corner, you see a part of the construction site. As MAESTRO needed more space, they have converted the West Gate into their Headquarter. Here their traders and soldiers come and go with goods and gold. Different views of the city I had many positive comments at Brickmania Limburg about this part of my city. I hope you like it as well :) Thanks for watching! C&C is ofcourse welcome! Maxim I Note: I believe I am the first one using flowers as roofing technique. There are in Hungary and Poland buildings (mostly churches) with mozaic in their roofs, making it very colourfull and extrely beautifull. Note 2: For the University of Petraea I like to claim more than 3 credits because of the size of the MOC (it are smaller 3 48x48 baseplates + 1 32x80 + 4 32x32 MOCs): - Architecture: roofing (the flowers) - Architecture walls: SNOT tiled walls (the camel and doors) - Architecture roofrakes (the white roofrakes of the Horses Head Inn) - Architecture Advanced windows (the fences as windows, the double windows, ...) - General Building: Movement-enabled (the crane on the docks and the crane of the workshop) - Trade & Law: manufactering - Culture : Art Note 3: West and East Stedor will be showed together at Brickmania Antwerp 2014 (15 & 16 November) as part of a huge (8x8 meter) castle lay-out, so be sure to come to there and check this out! Note 4: the pictures were taking during Brickmania Limburg. That's why the lightening is not perfect. Anyway, thanks to Lt. Hornblower & Sebeus for holding the black sail behind the MOC!

The Struysbird: http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=99646

thanks all!! another picture I like to claim the UoP credit for brickbuild animal note: the pictures were last minute taken on an event, so sorry for the blue baseplate :p

Nope, I never want to meet this animal in real life! :D

Very nice knight!

Awesome butterfly :D :D

This one is looking very dangerous! I love the stings on his head!

Sweet bird!! Great job on it :)

A very cool small mount!!! it looks like method for rich people to transport themself in a big Kaliphlin city :D

Two amazing MOC's Z!! So many things to love in it!!

So many details on such a small base!! How you managed to make a house on the cliffs, to make a nest for the beast, ... So perfect!

Very cool brickbuild animal!!

I am pretty sure this is the most beautifull Lego Wind Mill I have ever seen!!! So many things most of us would never think about!!! (Lord Damaximus bows down now)

Very nice landscaping in the first MOC! The dark orange works very well :) I also like how you created the sand on the stone effect in your second moc :)

Very nice job!! I like the battlements on top of the tower!!

The minifigs are awesome!! I like how you did the flag as well :) The build itself is also very nice!

The colourscheme is absolutely fantastic!! I always love your MOC's as they are full of little details :)

I really like the hammer!! Congratz on the vegetation as well :)

It really looks like a very cosy place!! Great job on the whole atmosphere your created!

Very cool Kaliphlin influence! Great job making your phase 1 mill!

A really big applause for the organisators of the event! Synbiote (Wilfried) and his wife (Inge) did an awesome job!! There were 3100 visitors, what is absolutely amazing for a first edition! Yes we do :D We have many members from the Netherlands and even some members from Germany as well :) So feel free to join us! If your sigfig looks like you in real life, I think I saw you then (but I just realised it now). Too bad we could not talk to eachother! I hope you saw my city of Stedor (pictures will be posted very soon on Guilds of Historica). There were some LOTR polybags. I bought one Mirkwood Elf polybag for example :p but indeed, no sets :)

Just in time for the deadline :D I know it will not be a winner. The complete mount is build with the Mouse & Kitty Creatorset (for a small challenge on Brickmania Limburg this weekend) The Struysbird by Maxim I, on Flickr Sir Arof Slanga is one of the few Alleenridders who doesn't love horses. So that's why he choosed a rare Struysbird. Struysbirds are real Kaliphlin desert birds. They may look very stupid or cute, but au contraire, they are very fast, strong and dangerous! Even they are family of the birds, they can't fly long distances. Anyway, I originally wanted to build a bat for the IAMS but as Stedor took too much time this month, I didn't have the time anymore. C&C ofcourse welcome! edit 1: another picture edit 2: I like to claim the UoP credit for brickbuild animal

I am not Sarah so she has the last word on it, but I would suggest to start with 1 shop were multiple items can be bought. You also can build shops in the city of Petraea or Qarkyr :)
