Re: Redwall Abbey

Cool corner with some nice coloring. I don't believe I've seen a Redwall-themed castle before, so props for originality as well.

Re: Building musings

One thing that came to me today is that a certain level of realism has been always part of my builds. What do I mean by that? Well that the stairs had to fit a minifigure, bed had to be the right size and so on. Traditionally, this how I have thought and tried to build. One thing I've realized is t...

Re: What was your first LEGO set?

Bruce, I apologize if I'm necro-posting by pulling up a thread that's a few months old, but I'm hoping to be excused given how quiet the board is these days. Anyway, I believe my first Lego set was some sort of car, but it has been so long that my memories of it are vague. The first set I really rem...

Re: Lego Material Handler Excavator

MOCs like this are not my usual fare, but I like what you've put together. So often the construction vehicle creations have a very "Technic" feel to them, so it's nice to see smooth lines, etc. as something different.

Re: Looking out to Sea

I think this is nice. I'm not sure the water technique quite works, but it's good to see some innovation. Suggestion: What you tried "sculpting" the smaller water pieces behind the large transparent parts to make underwater scenes or something? Nevertheless, good work and good luck with th...

Re: Medieval street

Excellent detail, color, etc. Also, I appreciate the true gentleman / gentlewoman's choice of using the old Dragon Masters flag. I hope we see much more from you.

Re: Battle of Hastings by James Pegrum and Jimmy Clinch

I love the scale of this! The final scene as the battle commences has all the foreboding it deserves: here, the English, after finally -finally- shaking off the Viking menage that had plagued them for 300 years are about to be subjected to Francophone conquerers who, ironically, are the descendants ...

Re: (LCC) Checking the Inventory

You have a lot of nice detail for a small scene. That said, the floor patterns don't survive into the complete MOC since everything else covers them up. Still, nice work.

I like your approach to the trees. I might refine the deer a bit more, but other than that it looks very nice.

Re: Huge Keep

All I can say is that I can't way to see the finished project. Keep up the fantastic work.

Edit: Also, I admire your mix of old gray and new. I've never quite been brave enough to put them together often.

Re: Orthanc

I've decided to come out of a two year Dark Age just to get excited about and to purchase this set. I can't wait.
