I forgot to ask what you were planning? I built a MOC on this baseplate years ago... one of the first aI posted online actually. God Bless, Nathan

Whatever length you like and have fun... God Bless, Nathan

They did the same thing with the grey knives in the temple of the Crystal Skull. After two attempts to explain (me to them) they just sent me the silver aquazone ones... God Bless, Nathan

Brilliantly imposing (as a Castle should be). I love the storage area and semi ordered chests The various opening hinged sections are also very well done. Playable but without sacrificing the look of the MOC! The princess is a little scary... no personal experience I hope The multiple rooms and characters would really fire the imagination of a child. All round a very nice MOC! God Bless, Nathan

Hey and welcome! God Bless, Nathan

Now I can't contribute Seriously I find the bionicle pieces annoying, not out of a given hatred, merely because they take Lego in a direction I don't want to go. Can they be used in great MOCs? Yes (and there is ample proof), but at the moment, for me, they're like bley, I sort them into a separate pile an sigh... I guess it just depends on how you build... God Bless, Nathan

That came as a real shock didn't it? God Bless, Nathan

Yes, 2 actually... God Bless, Nathan

Thanks much! Coming from someone familiar with large projects your compliments are much appreciated! God Bless, Nathan

Hey all, With the organization of a site now behind me, I'm restarting my Norro's set reviews series. These are not photographic reviews of current sets, but rather a nostalgic look at some old classics for those who haven't seen the format before. The old ones are now all on my site: NTbricks.com/SetReviews.html and two new ones have been added: 6055 Prisoner Convoy... 6071 Forestmen's Crossing... As always, these are intended as castle conversation starters... did you have them? What did you think? Let me know... God Bless, Nathan

Looking nice! I love the simple hut feel, and how much more is progressively revealed... God Bless, Nathan

A lot to me...

No suggestions name wise. But I look forward to seeing this... God Bless, Nathan

Wouldn't mind the figs from the box art... God Bless, Nathan

I think the impulse sets still need to live up to their name. You can't buy them on 'impulse' if you have to go looking for them. So far the only non-lego owned stores I've seen them in were pricing them ridiculously high (5.99 Aus, 7.50 US)... Why? Even at 3.50 they aren't the steal of the century. However the new wave at 1.95UKL is looking better ; ) God Bless, Nathan

Thanks so much for the feedback all! To update the Qs list: Thanks! And I'm glad you picked up on that! I don't have the bricks with me at the moment, but I'll take one when I can. Essentially you just lay out a circle of wedges, than another one on top (of right wedges if you used left beforehand). LDD might struggle with the friction hold ... Disclaimer: the story was written to resemble a legend, the key events are agreed on, what exactly happened and how much time elapsed between them is at the discretion of the individual bard. That said, here is my understanding : Part 1: The greatest warriors set out in search of their chieftain's brother, they find him dead next to the legendary treasure. Missing: They are, however, incredibly lost by this time and unable to find their way back to the original entrance, decide to leave the cursed treasure buried with the lost brother and move on. Part 2: They emerge (who knows how long later/how far away) to a snowy landscape. One of their number has smuggled a jewel from the horde and lets another drown to keep his treasure. Hopefully the bare essentials make sense ; ) Really the details were intended to be highly discretionary... I plan to publish some far more rigid stories in the future... There is always an element of human intervention in this cave system... but how long ago was it? Thanks much! I need to take lessons... There are a lot of pieces in my models, but rarely as many as people think The models are hollow and built to fit within my collection, mostly provided by those bonus boxes from a few years back... They are mostly destroyed almost immediately after the pictures are taken... I need the bricks And it's closer to three 48x48 baseplates, I only have one... See above Thanks again all and God Bless! Nathan

Seriously scary. Any rationale behind the MOC? God Bless, Nathan

On the other hand, the new bike is cartoonish in its large scale relative to the fig, the new one is just ridiculous... God Bless, Nathan

Thanks very much all! To cover a few specific Qs: I use 2 x 4 wedges (it's bigger than it looks ) and yes, you really have to use alternating layers of left and right wedges to achieve the lovely hewn effect... I don't like the horns, so my tale takes place without them.... Subjectivity at its best... Thanks, you've described exactly what I aim for. A single moment in time telling a story. The MOC is really secondary... It's actually not fragile in the slightest, but the weight surprised even me. When I began to rotate it to take pictures I found myself having to push I think it is because this is made of much smaller and more densely packed pieces than my previous larger works... Thanks, and cheers for the understatement . Getting the surface to look even remotely like snow was a slow, tedious, but ultimately enjoyable process... Thanks again all and God Bless, Nathan

Interesting... Cheers for posting! Though when I saw the picture I thought it would be an LDD print on demand service... in a few years perhaps ; ) God Bless, Nathan

Nice ambitious project! God Bless, Nathan

Happy Bday! God Bless, Nathan

The sphinx, Belfast. Simply the world's best chippy... God Bless, Nathan

The next installment in my "Entrance to the Caves" series is now finished: Forgotten Beacon I'm really quite proud of this model. There is a lot of detail, a new curved tower technique, and some fairly impressive caves... Also, the accompanying story page is now available: NTbricks.com/Tales.html And in case you missed the beginning: Comments are appreciated! God Bless, Nathan

Very nice. Thanks for sharing the scene in context! Your MOCs and the sets compliment each other very well. God Bless, Nathan
