Did you change the colors of the arms on the Mathias torso,

No I did not, but I changed the arms of the KK1 kettle helm soldiers to blue.

I'm at loss for ideas for the last set of this theme: 001

Does anyone have a cool set idea for me to create? I'm sure if I dig into my brain a little deeper, I'll have an idea. But I really would appreciate ideas from you guys!

Graynar, you could make a monster attacking a convoy, maybe a tribe of mud golems on a midnight raid, or perhaps a royal wedding, with knights and commoners from several factions attending... just some thoughts, please feel free to use them.

Something with a catapult.

I'm thinking something big, though. You've got the small set, and a few medium sets. Now maybe do the "centerpiece" of the theme, the set that would have its own page in a catalog.

But I like boses' wedding idea, too. That's something we haven't seen much of.

Hey guys.

I like the wedding idea, but I don't think TLC would produce a set like that.(not that it really matters)

001 is the first set in the theme so it should have something to do with the simple story. The Lion knights must protect the treasure from the DM and SK(shadow knights).

I thoughtof boses midnight raid idea. All 3 factions included. All fighting over the treasure, the SK and DM are raiding the Lion Knights keep for the treasure. Oooh sounds kinda cool. Yes eNIGMA, catapults included.

I made a quick proto type picture, does anyone want to see it?

Graynar, please post those pics...I tried to PM, but, I don't know ii it worked

or not

Also, when you have completed 001-005 continue with your MOCs, they are

all pretty cool so far, I think...

Me, me, me!!!!!!!!!

I think all of your "sets" have been cool so far, I can't wait to see this one. You should really post some of this in the Dear LEGO section.

Keep up the good work!

It's more like a small keep.

I didn't really like it at first since I looked solely at the "computer enhanced" pic (I don't think MSPaint counts as digitally enhanced

), but with the real shots, it looks better.

Wow!! When it's ready, you gotta submit your designs to LEGO Factory.

Its just a small castle/fort. Its around the size of the Black Falcon's castle. The one that became a Legend. I'm afraid MS paint is the best picture editing system I have at the moment. I really like editing those pics though. I'm sorry you didn't like it Mr Delish.

Here's a quick pic I took of proto type 001. If you see anything I could do better tell me. It's a real action packed set: Includes launching thing from border ambsh, fireball catapult, DM horse, 3 DM soldiers, 3 Lion Knight soldiers, 3 Shadow Knights, skeleton, small keep, and the treasure!

Help and constructive criticism is appreciated.

Hey, 001 is pretty cool! Even includes a statue... how about that? Lots of figs, and cool details. You should really continue (maybe with another series?).

Looks good, I really like the statue.

MrDelish · Post by **MrDelish** » Mon Aug 15, 2005 8:07 pm

There's no particular focus on that scene and too much action overall.

Also, a more scale-appropriate picture looks better with lego stuff (lower-angle shots to make things like castles seem bigger).

boses · Post by **boses** » Mon Aug 15, 2005 8:12 pm

If I were to offer any criticism, I would add some loose stones and/or gravel to the castle-it is supposed to be abandoned, after all

also, where is the statue?

It was just a quick proto type picture Mr Delish. I wasn't trying to win any medals. I will take what you have said into consideration for when I produce the official images.

Boses, the statue is located near the lower center of the pic. The dark grey toga figure with no face.
