Re: Forrestmen with a little MOC

Good start. That was a great old set. :D I think you're not getting too much response, though, because there's not a lot of original creation there: just a bit of a rework of the original set. Take a look around online, see what other people are building, and build build build. You'll see your skill...

Re: New Takeshi Itou !!! - Bridge to the Elves Country

Thanks for pointing this out, Bruce! I would have totally missed it otherwise. Takeshi Itou is also one of my favorite builders, and probably one of the biggest influences on my own style. I did a write-up of it [url=http://www.brothers-brick.com/2015/08/14/beautiful-castle-of-the-elves-by-takeshi-i...

Re: Ten years!

Congratulations! I remember when this placed opened up, and a bunch of castle fans rushed over to join. I meandered over a half a year later. It's been a fantastic site.

Re: Sacred Forest Village

That is an absolutely gorgeous creation loaded with awesome details. But your photography is killing it. I know photographing something that large is a real pain, but a model that good deserves an equal amount of love on the presentation as clearly went into the building. If you google around, you'l...

Re: Is Cuusoo bad for the community?

I guess I should say something here. I'm naturally a bit of an optimist, so wanting to see the best in intentions colors my approach here, no doubt. As for the Minecraft project origins, yes, the project that reached 10,000 votes was started by Mojang. That process was unique, and for more reasons t...

Re: [MOC] The Windmill

This is really nice! The white windmill looks particularly nice with the large amount of calm landscaping surrounding it, and you've worked some nice details into the rocks.

Re: Castle and Tolkien sets for 2013

I have to admit to being quite underwhelmed by this line. After the Fantasy and Kingdoms lines, which showed just how good LEGO can do castle, this feels like a major regression. The sets look straight out of 2001. They look like Knights Kingdom 1.5--a cross between Knights Kingdom I and II. The str...

Thanks for the comments, folks! It would be awesome if we could show a little Castle love over on the Rebrick site, so I could place. :wink:

Re: Faerie Flowers

I saw this on flickr first, and it amazed me then. People have already pointed out a lot of the amazing NPUs, but I'd expect no less from you. I did really like the small translucent flower stems, with the upside down cones on the plant stems. That looks surprisingly good, especially for how simple ...

Re: dwarven merchants wagon

You've got a good start there. I like the sides, with the grating and the clips to make a metal frame. I it could stand a little improvement on the wooden frame though, even something as simple as tiling it over.
