being sick and thus at home at the beginning of the week helped things a lot

spiral staircase in a tree, avatar? well, anyway, I just totally love this moc. It's always been a dream of my childhood to live in a real treehouse, never made it though ...

I really love this farm and the inclusion of the official windmill is also well done. The only nitpick that I would have is that medieval farm houses would most likely have straw or reed roofs, and thus not black, but yellow, tan, or dark tan would be more suiteable

well, thank ya'll for the positive feedback. I guess this is actually the best moc I have assembled so far (More to come though). And with each brick set, the learning process gets going even further. Concerning the roof, I was considering black in the first place, but I only have four corner slopes, so I made it red. I guess it could also use some more white. As for the red around the windows, I meant it to be normal baked clay bricks, hope that his came across. btw, LONG LIVE MITGARDIA

@: TR, I've worked in your suggestions, looks much colder now ... As for your tower, I guess bringing in some more structure would help it, e.g. make the slopes more even and the actual outpost more accesable for the minifigs (stair, laders etc.) @BAP: eccellent gate you created there, if you could cast this into real bricks it would simpy be too great

mighty and intimidating, just the way towers ought to be ..., very nice creation!!

nice, sturdy tower indeed, only thing I'd consider would be to form the hill using green slopes

Usually everything is quiet in the Northern winter, but since news about the collaps of the old kingdom spread into Mitgardia, watchtowers are being peopled again. Occasional traders from the other parts of Historica are being inspected keenly. Any drow smuggled into the North, weapons, magic potions? Well, let's hope for the Kaliphlin trader that his goods fulfill the strict critiria: Original Build:

if you don't have any windows, doors arches, get this set it's good starter for a moc this size

well you know, only a dead drow is a good drow, so who cares whether they are tourists or spies ...

maybe you should give it doors and windows instead of holes in the wall, you should also consider to top the door with an arch instead of just a straight brick

anyone any suggestions on how to improve my moc?

and so the drow was bound on a cart and taken to Valholl ... what would the dungeon masters do him?

the men of Helgestorp report to their leader: tower completed, drow infiltrater arrested

Your infiltraters shall not succeed, take this drow scum, let there be light:

A messenger from Valholl has arrived and speaks to the men of Helgestorp: "Fellow Mitgardians, our wise and and ominpotent leader Jarl Nibelung announceth that in these quarters there shall be errected a sentinel to protect Mitgardia from the intrusion and evil doings of ill minded outsiders. All men of Mitgardia shall therefore suspend there day to day prodcedures and thus congregate in the named places to put forth all effords needed to errect our defences as fast as but also as good as possible. In order for this to be a lucky enterprise the leader sendeth to each construction site a sacred foundation brick blessed by the mighty priests of Valholl."

nay, I'll get the toy story soldiers, they are on sale for really cheap these days. I'm more wondering about the yellow flag ... Apart from that, the carpenters of Helgestorp thought that donating a trebuchet to the good cause might be a nice move:

wow, the mammoth is really cool! I can already foresee us winning!!

while some are merely babbling, others are building!! Long live mitgardia!!

Steen Larsson and the men of Helgestorp getting ready to rumble: due to a lack of green sleaves and crowny torsos I kindly ask for the perimission to also use lion torsos and green trousers

if I only had a yellow flag, I'd post my new avatar right away ... Anyway, I'm really gald I joined this guild, bearing the cold for most of the time we are the toughest of all warriours!! Edit: Nah, srew that yellow flag .. If you don't dare, I'll simply introduce myself on my own. My name is Steen Larsson, carpenter by trade and descendent of one of the first settler families. Normally I'm a rather peacelovin' fellow who doesn't enjoy anything more than having friends around and a good cup of mead. However, when orks, wizzards or other unholy creatures appear in my backyard threatening my kids, my grandma's southern temper (she was a Kaliphlin princes brought to Mitgardia as a slave) gets gets me going with relentless rage ...

gee, it's getting kinda late in this part of the world, gotta get up early and go to work tomorrow ...

I'm not afraid of catching a cold, so northern chill for me please!
