Hello Rs, In my humble opinion, you could improove your MOC if you build the towers square 6x6 instead of cylindrical. For a good proportion in relation to the nave of the church, the towers don't have to be as high as you've build them now, Romanesque churches where much more 'down to earth', as ap...

As you can see here, American technology is so far behind ours that they can't even miniturise a Minifig.

Kind of tower-ish

Hello all, I feel I'm better at giving feedback than creating a genuine MOC, I somehow lack the real talent for that. But they say you can only learn from practice, so finaly it's my turn to show someting I've created: http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/moom/Pure-MOC/first_tower.jpg I'm affraid it tu...

Has anyone noticed this already: http://ldraw.pobursky.com/images/album02 Orion/billthefish should be trown out of CCC for commiting a faul act of high treason :D Seriously, I don't care about Space versus Castle differences, and I think this is very funny. With friendly greetings, M. Moolhuysen.

Hm.... I'd have to say that the lute might look better with this piece: http://peeron.com/inv/parts/469 It looks a bit like an electric guitar now! :) Otherwise, great work! I love the cello/bass. More like a Russian Ballalaika (or however it's spelled) While I would agree with you it does look a b...

One for every letter in the alphabet, you have an ambitious project going on JB. But you've done well so far, the models are carefully detailed and there is enough variation from one building to another. One comment about the method of execution: Beheading was considered a very mercyfull form of exe...

Yeah, I questioned my wife about that after I posted the page. I think the word I was looking for was "charcoal", not "coal". I've updated the text. I think it would not have been charcoal either, as it burns relatively smoke-free (as long as no fat is dripping on to it). The co...

A good character. But don't forget that in medieval times almost no-one went without headwear, indoors as well as outdoors. In case of a educated man such as this, it would most likely be some kind of a tightly fitting felt "scull-cap".

With friendly greetings, M. Moolhuysen.

Hello Orion, Well done. it's a nice model. I like the alteration of light and dark grays in the base. If you happen to have 1x2 bricks in these colors, try to put a few of these in the wall sideways (so they show there 1 stud side only) This would create some smaller patches of the darker color besi...

New shade turns yellow at the sight of good old ruthless classic gray.

Realy impressive display. You've done a lot of fine work, the both of you. I see that a lot of previous MOC's, ideas and discussions have come together in this model. Not yet a new attic door for the post mill, but I won't hold that against you, with so many other things you've done. There was one t...

For us poor non-English native speakers a spell checker would be a bless. I had a hard time even learning to spell my own language a bit decent (being mildly dislectic) and I keep on struggling with a few pesky words in English. For instance, I'm alway confused which 'witch' is wicked and what one i...
