Castle cuusoo project: "Feast of Fools"

Hello all. Apologies, I wasn't sure if this post should go in the MOC or SETS forum. Hopefully I've got it right! I've received a couple of comments and FMs suggesting I turn a CCC MOC of mine from two years ago into a cuusoo project. I finally got around to setting it up this evening. http://farm8....

Re: CCCIX Knights Quest - The Quest For The Blade

Fantastic stuff. As others have said, the use of forced perspective for the backgrounds is nicely done, and very effective.

Re: Mini Castle Contest VII

Hmmm. Slightly concerned about the burden of expectation there Blego7! I love this competition, I think it's my favourite annual event in the whole of Legodom. However, I'm currently stuck in the throes of building stuff for the Lego Show at STEAM and will also be on holiday away from my bricks for ...

Re: Castle Rock - Stages 1+2+3 [WIP]

I'm really impressed with how this is shaping up. The sloped ramp section is particularly nice.

I was wondering if you planned including any water? A small waterfall and stream might add a nice splash of colour on the base?

Re: Curved Amphiteater Walls

This totally deserved a front page linking. It's a lovely technique, one I hadn't seen before and, most importantly, it's not really fiddly or uses loads of rare pieces. I think we'll see a whole heap of creations using this in the future.

Thanks for sharing.

Re: My First MOC!

This is a great thread. Disappointed I've missed it up until now. This was the first castle creation I did, for a CCC about 4 years ago I think... http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3002/3022416622_787150463d_m.jpg And this was the very first thing I built and posted coming out of my dark age (a bit of ...

Re: the blacksmith

I too like the awnings and the overgrown feel. Perhaps a bit of wear and tear on the roof would have been nice, but that's nitpicking. Overall this is lovely.

Re: A discussion about MOCing

For me it depends... Some things I build are absolutely for my own entertainment. Quite often the photos I take of these don't even make it online - not because they're particularly "bad builds", rather than I just don't think anyone would be remotely interested. However, I'm very competit...
