Awesome Black Castle MOC at Brickworld Chicago

Post by Starwars4J »

I get these pics from Hinckley over at Eurobricks, who attended the convention. I don't believe he has an account here, though, but if he does please close this and let him open a topic. I just had to share this with you guys.

Remember awhile back a castle that blew all our minds, that had a large grey mountain and tiled sides? I bet this is the same guy...

Here's a teaser pic and here's the whole gallery.

It's truly fantastic. Thanks for the pics and information, Hinckley!

that castle has a very Tolkien-esque feel to it. Truly a work of art, not just a MOC!

Wow the detail on that is so awesome!

It doesn't even look like LEGO, the detail is amazing. What colours did he use, it doesn't look black, or dark gray.
wrap me in a bolt of lightning,
send me on my way still smiling,
maybe that's the way i should go:
straight into the mouth of the unknown....

I think it's just the light. I'm pretty sure it's black

That looks very impressive. I love the technique used to give the rocky facade to it. A great piece of LEGO construction.

Gah, it sucks that I was in Chicago in the spring and nothing good was going on. :(

This castle is certainly different from most of the Lego castle's I've seen.
I agree with The Vanquished that it doesn't really look like it's Lego.
Looks more like Megablocks :lol:
I wished there were more pictures.

Haha, you're right. The word "Megablock" does have a bit of a negative connotation.
But in this case it was not meant like that :wink:

This creation is truly awesome. The castle/keep is very detailed and as mentioned earlier it does look very tolkien-esque. The cliff face is probably the best cliff face that I have seen, made out of Lego.
