Re: CCC XXI

New question: the rules allow to use the new grey parts. But in 1995 there were almost no dark gray parts... As far as I can find it was introduced around 1998 as a color for plates and slopes... What about this? Is dbg allowed to use or not? Yes that is fine. The new light and dark bluish gray, al...

Re: Second Chance for the Ideas Viking Village

Congrats on having your idea turned into an official Lego set! I’m looking forward to building this, and I’m probably going to buy a second set just for the parts. :) The Ideas submission was by Florian, aka BrickHammer, but I had the pleasure of being the LEGO Designer who got to to work on transl...

Re: Second Chance for the Ideas Viking Village

I had a blast designing it, hope those of you who get one really enjoy the build process! It felt super surreal to work on an official LEGO Castle product more than 10 years after joining this forum as a young castle fan :D I also tried to make sure it's a great general medieval building parts pack ...

Re: July Activity: Suggestions

I second jtooker on always appreciating civilian based categories. Maybe one focused on medieval farming and husbandry? Churches, monasteries, nunneries, and so on are also really fun to see represented in LEGO. After reading Kurojaki and Elephant Knight's posts, one idea that came to mind was a cat...

CCC XX - Royal Drawbridge Revamp

Built for the Return of the G.O.A.T. challenge. I chose to re-imagine set 6078 and had fun putting my own twist on the recognizable structure. My rendition features ladders or stairs to reach every area of the gatehouse, along with a functional drawbridge. The two hidden spaces under ramps at front ...

Everdell Chapel

John and I worked together to create another Everdell scene, this time based off of the Chapel card. We built it in about a week working on it sporadically. John primarily handled rockwork, animals and some small details, while I built the chapel and helped finish the landscaping. John also handled ...
