Another Cool Creation I found!

Post by Lord Felix »

http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=88688

Above is the link to a creation I found. I like the idea of purple mix with grey, even though it doesn't look like CC type of castle. I like the design too, and the way it is a magic fortress, yet, it has pigs and livestock around and inside. I like it. Wish I had enough bricks to make it! :wink:

Look at it's AwEsOmEnEsS1!1!

I've seen this before, and yes, it is spectacular. I, too like the livestock and all that, as well as the inclusion of the yellow wall sections. They play well with the purple and grey. Alot of neat building techniques here.

Bruce might know more about it, he posted a pictuer of the main gate for someone a little while back.

Yes, this is a very nice castle. It is by user Jens, and here is the old topic for it. Try using the search feature.

The purple makes it lame. Other than that, it is great.

Yup, very awesome MOC. Jens is great builder and I don't think the purple makes it "lame".

I think purple makes it flawless.

Without the purple, it still rocks. I love the uniformed army of spellcasters.
Back when this got out on brickshelf, I worshipped it.

The whole castle is good, I just don't like the purple. I think brown would look better. I agree that it is the best use I've seen for purple, but while you're collecting purple, you might just as well collect brown instead.

remember reading somewhere that the builder simply found out a ton of purple tiles on some lego store and he had to use them somehow.

I had forgotten that, but I do seem to remember that is what Jens said.

Romas was saying that he remembered that about Jens' MOC not if you remembered. ;)

I've seen this before, but I doubt the guy who started this thread can tell by the Thread Titles nor would have the time to search for Jen's thread.

Anyhow, I like the purple roofs. It sets it apart from other Castle MOCs and makes it unique. It might look like a Castle & Belville crossover, but its a dang good one!

How do you guys even begin to build somin that big and still add all the details?Do you build everything separately then add them together when they are all done?

I build with the details... :lol: Some people do otherwise.

I'm glad this has been here before... I really liked the quality.
