I like the ammount of detail that was put into this. I had seen the sections, but like Sir Dillon, hadn't realized they were the same castle. The whole thing looks excellently realistic, and I like the touch with the fisherman in the back, as well as the general not-crowded look of the whole thing. ...

Ah, I saw this on Brickshelf yesterday and was amazed. I, too, like the dark orange look – I've always liked that color and it really separates this MOC from most others. I am very fond of the checkered floor throughout the whole MOC; it adds consistency to this being just one dungeon. The variation...

Yes, just say that it's early in the morning. After all, merchants are still coming in with their goods. I really like how you did the farm goods; they look perfect. They could use some hair... I love how you've used the different patterns on the slope bricks to make different coverings. The joustin...

There was an add for this in the most recent LEGO magazine, but I can't say more as to when this news was first found...

Looks interesting, but I don't like how they rendered the minifigures. Stop-motion or the CG equivalent would have been better.

Ah... these really made my day. Joe Vig~ I love the Snake Charmer and Jaws vignettes. Shark Tank is also great, but you can't really tell that it's godzilla outside the window. So that's the only one I dislike. But I just can't get over the Snake Charmer one! :lol: Ordinary Vigs~ I like how you did ...

I don't know how this would be programmed, but on BZPower, the link that takes you to your inbox says "0 new messages," "2 new messages," etc. So you could just look there and see if you have any new messages.

To add to the list of reviewing the choices... Flesh-toned minifigures : I have few objections to these. They're only on the movie-based sets, and I tend not to use many heads from those lines, and the hands can be swapped out. Besides, Lando and Mace Windu would look better that way, I believe. My ...

I love the Phantom scene. the gold scattered about the floor is excellent, and so is Christine, but I think the Phantom would look better with short hair. I love the back part of it. The smithy is great as well, especially with the horse-head armor in there. The tower is great; I love the jewels stu...

Well, Sir Kohran, you might opt to use a combination of the two. I personally think that the new dark grey looks splendid with the old light grey, provided that the old dark does not slip in there in many places. The opposite does not work that well, however. The two light greys are able to not clas...

Thanks for the post, Dragon Master!

Legolas's scene of Mirkwood has been completed and posted accordingly. His scene was definitely the most fun to make, but, unfortunately, I don't have any long hair in tan...

I'm not that fond of the tree fort, simply because there seem to be too many colors and I don't think the brown cylinders go well with the tan plates in that organization. There are a bunch of tan cylinders in the 2001 Hogwarts Castle... The Hippogriff Riders' Castle is excellent, however. I love th...

I love this MOC. It is incredibly realistic, well-built... I love the use of different styles of chairs for different parts of the house, as well as the abundance of nature on both the inside and the outside, as well as the general open-ness with various unclosed portals to the outside. The tiled fl...

Okay, I finally have another fig up. Arwen this time, whom most of you have already seen in my Rivendell topic. I'm working on scenes for the others. doctorsparkles, Thanks!

*low whistle* I must say that that is incredible . I love the various towers, but the protruding plates on the round one are distratcing. The layout is also excellent, as are the various features like the stables and well. The chapel is quite something, but it seems too small to me... The attention ...
