Ello. Thanks for all this nice comments. It`s always nice Tower is 1,4 meter high, and this leaves are dark green as mentioned above. When we were preparing our exhibition in Rzeszów some nice gentelmen from museum "helped me" (they dropped glass on elements of this tower): So I have to use some slave labor to rebuilt Credit to all slaves: Nexus Jatboy LL Greenblue Sikorka

Well, this is my latest work. A fantasy-style tower. It has long looong story which includes such fantastic moments like some guys in our exhibition smashed it into pieces :D Well after all here it is: All pictures here: Enjoy :) It`s circa 1,4 meter high. This is my tribute to three of my favorite towers: Col du Mont by Brody: www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=186646 The Tower in the Lonely Wood by JoJo: www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=46446 Tower of Brothers by Karwik: www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=400468

Well. I`m not a technic fan at all (i bought one copy because it`s nice set), so it shouldn`t be my business but this whole action is just stupid. I`m not against resellers either. But it all ends in situation like this: We have hundreds of very happy resellers and probably thousands of sad or even angry true lego-fans who couldn`t get 41999 in this short time. And it`s sad and wrong that true lego fan can`t have this very nic set. Yes of course they cen buy it from ebay for double of it`s price. Next release of special set like this (maybe not Technic maybe Castle) will end in dog fight. I think that Lego should keep action like this but in the future they should publish some kind of a statement that if there will be very high demand for set like this they will launch another wave of 5 or 10 thousands. First wave will be limited with something special (posters, special plates, serial number ect) and another will be ordinary set. PS. I think it should be talked with "lego oficcials" in ambasador forum. PS2. Sorry for my poor English :)

This so, so spectacular

Just lovely set. Trees are great, and collection of minifigs too. It`s good to see decent playset after all this ships. But the price is on dark side...

Spectacular build Carl. Just like all your trains.

Thanks again for all for comments. I'm proud of you and of myself

Trees are made from that mixture: And bars, clips and leaves. They looks very fragile but are quite strong.

How many hamsters you can fit in this?

Thanks all for very nice feedback :) And some answers: No ther is no interior. I don`t like build something that I can`t see. No, this is any real church. I always try to build something real, but always finding something too difficult to build and I`m building with my ideas. Yes, I think my fingers will die after removing this all plates :D Thanks once again.

Really fantastic piece of architecture. Texture and colours are perfect.

Thanks all :) I`m glad that you like it. Hamster is Sariel`s pet, I prefer cats and crocodiles.

We need to put something on a hill (in future Lugpol train diorama). Well here it is. Special thanks for Sariel (sariel.pl) for photos and Zgredek (http://www.flickr.co...63026@N04/sets/) for bricks. Full gallery will be here: <a href="http://www.brickshel...y.cgi?f=527216" rel="nofollow">www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=527216</a> Well enjoy or go to hell Full gallery will be here - http://www.brickshel...ry.cgi?f=527216

In my opinion this is one of the best modular buildings ever (but the car is just awful ). Very, very good looking building.

This is one of the best dioramas from lego I`ve ever seen. Just beautiful :) PS. WOW, FIRST!!! :D

Thanks all for nice words :) It was painful to build this water

For me it`s amazing set. Looks rather like MOC than a regular set. Building is fantastic and minifigs are, well also fantastic And the price is quite good. A must buy for me.

Not a bit. It looks way better But the model itself looks very, very good. Only this price... Overall, one of the best SW sets ever in my opinion.

It`s not my work because I was only a part of this diorama. Another year and another Lugpol battle. This time Normandy 1944. Size of this diorama: 56 baseplates - 7x8 baseplates 32x32 Builders: Pit, Mrutek, Rasch, Glaz-Pimpur, dmac, dmac`s son Borys, Misiek, Axel, Nexus 7, Matix, Szarik, Kris Kelvin and many other “water helpers”. Full Gallery will be here: LINK Special thanks for Darek Mróz for photos And miniatures:

It`s really fantastic work in every detail

Let`s try to find something optimistic in this whole situation We all can agree that the price of this set is just insane

Well, I wouldn`t say morons Buildings are similar so it`s rather obvious that there are some doubts. We are discussing, Adam made his comments... So, people may or may not belive him. That`s the life. For me case closed

Adam asked me for posting his last speech in this topic: "Now. Again, I read thru the thread and honestly? I have no idea what you want to hear? I usually stay out of discussions like this, because I don’t know how to deal with it. If I write to you now, half of you will think “he reads thru it, he is aware that he stole from the community, tries to defend himself”. Or maybe you think that when I don’t say anything? He is quiet, so that means he did that and that… Do you want to hear that I was inspired by this built? How, if I haven’t seen in just before the end of the design process? Sure, could have replaced the slopes on the top of the windows with two cheeseslopes. But by then I didn’t give a damn. It just looked right, so I didn’t care. It was an obvious choice. As many other things too. Tons of stuff just came together with no reflections on anything, oh, that is a cool brick, I could use that. Oh, this looks like the metal things so many houses have around the lower part of the windows, I get that. Oh, I need to go from one stud to support two plates, I take the slopes, oh there are so many ornamentations there and here, let’s see how that can be done… What do I know. The only thing I know is that I don’t browse Brickshelf, Mocpages, or any other host anymore. Just to avoid getting inspired from such builds and to avoid having to discuss it with anybody. Yes there is a similarity. Yes there are very obvious similarities. And now what? Shall I excuse myself for that? Shall I regret that I built it in sand green (a color community cries for?), shall I begin to apologize to each and every one of you? I have no idea what to do now. No idea when that other house (houses? There seem to be more than one like that now) were built, who built them, why they look like they look like, and I didn’t care much when I saw them for the first time, now I am annoyed. It honestly pisses me off that they are out there. As mentioned, DO YOU REALLY THINK I WOULD NOT DO EVERYTHING POSSIBLE TO COME UP WITH ANOTHER IDEAS FOR WINDOWS, PORCH, AND WHATSOEVER IF I SAW IT BEFORE I BUILT THE SET? Why would one in my position copy stuff, not only because it is not “nice”, but being well aware that if I did, there would be a discussion like that? I don’t want to be involved into the community, I don’t care about what happens, I don’t want to read what people wish, see what people build to avoid any resemblance between what I do and what someone else did. I check Brothers-Brick because I still like LEGO, I check LugPol because there are friends of mine. Every single creation that I built for myself that was in any way inspired got it’s proper credit, my work stuff is community free with one exception, which is the Imperial Shuttle (and which shows that LEGO doesn’t have any problem whatsoever to ask people if their creations can be used for products, so why would we not ask for the permission to copycat the houses you mention?). I don’t see why one should build “different”, and seek for another solutions just for the sake of building it different. Especially now, when I look at the other house, there are no “magic” techniques, some crazy SNOT or super innovative use of elements/shapes. It’s basic, and very obvious stacking. He/She used 2x2 windows to make the windows, and guess what, I actually used the 2x2 window element to make… You guessed it, a window… There is tons of other things that explain this or that. Like the only brick available in sand green when I began to build that house was a 1x2 brick. Now, I can’t recolor everything I wish, so I added a 1x1 and 1x6 if I remember right, and out of these bricks I built everything sand green there, and so some solutions were just a plain necessity, math, logic. Or the already mentioned little roofs above the windows. They are just there. Looks good. Two 1x1 round with a tile on top to make… “Things”. It looks like that on so many houses. Or kind of like that, a little roofy thing above the windows. If I would have built it for myself I’d SNOT something there. But I couldn’t, so I had 1x4 space above every window that I wanted to do something with. So simple. At least to me. I buid the ornamentations above the porch out of the 1x1 with a round plate because I have seen it on some modulars by Jamie. Never occurred to me that a detail like this would screw my whole day once I read about it in a forum… Actually the whole space under the roof was built like this originally, but then I used round 1x1s. Again. Whyever. I don’t know, remember, want to discuss it because Reading thru it it seems that I really try to defend my stuff, and I don’t. I build that house as I build it because of one thousand different reasons. There was talks with my bosses, Jamie, rebuilds, can you do this, that, can you make that tower that way, this way, can you add detail here blablabla. One way or another, to make some of you “believe” me I’d have to reveal our timelines (You have any idea how old the first version is?), processes, and prototypes. And I am not allowed, and even if I was, I wouldn’t do so. Already got too much involved in this here without a proper reason. You either believe me, or you don’t. Your choice. Over and out."

One more from me (advocatus zomboli). Look at this: Do you really, REALLY think, that someone who can build something like this has to steal window shapes? For the set which had dreamed for a long long time? C`mon

Wonderful job. Amazing details
