Hi all,

Lisqr presents the Nocturnas embassy in the Mystic Isles as part of the ongoing Guilds of Historica collaboration over on Eurobricks. Even without knowing anything about the backstory, I was really moved by this haunting and mysterious build. The color scheme is particularly effective.

Thanks for pointing this out, Bruce. The color scheme, as said, really enhances the moc. I also like the plate built trees, which seems to be seldom done these days. The black tentacles all over the place are neat too.

Wow, I love the feel of this MOC. It's a real "fantasy" style castle and I love it.

This is not an embassy I would like to visit, lol.
I think the swords + the jet engines that make up the turret are my favorite part. Nicely done :)

Yes this is a nice one. Have seen it on EB when going through guild topics and moc. Just whoa about this, so beautiful. Great mix of good and evil. :D

The front page of CC does have links to flickr now, so that you can fave it there.

This is really beautiful, and I really like the colors. Are the leaves painted? (I feel like that question has a very obvious answer; I'm just not sure what it is!)

The concept art (a link to which is also on the front page of CC right now) is also very beautiful, and I can clearly see the inspiration for the build.

no, the leaves are made out of 1x2 and 2x2 plates.
