Modular castle WIP
Posted: Tue Oct 28, 2008 2:47 pm
Dear all,
today I registered on this forum. I'm currently building a modular castle.
Although not finished I would like to share my progress.
The scenery is modular in a sense that I can split it up in several base plates.
The castle itself is entirely modular, the walls are seperable and so are its towers. I made the construction modular, because I wanted to experiment with modularity. Currently I'm collecting bricks to build the back side of the castle. The layout is loosely based on the Muiderslot.
Currently, though the castle only fits the scenery in one way.
Since this is my first castle and scenery MOC any feedback and constructive comments are highly appriciated.
I have been posting some photos on eurobricks. For convenience, I've made a simular format here to show my progress, starting with the latest photos.
Kind regards,
Teddy
