Nice landscaping of course. But my favorite part is the dark blue helmet with the silver visor. I love the color scheme of the new castle line. I cannot believe I didn't think of that helmet combonation yet! Definitly stealing that idea.

Congrats on getting some of the new line!
It's a Christmas Miracle!

Nice job! The skeletons look very zombie-like in their pose. I do have on pick, though. Why use a KKII sword?

It is always nice to see Princess Storm again. Your vig has a lot of action and nice landscaping.

This is a great vig, with excellent small-scale landscaping. The knight is great, with the red robe and plume attractive additions. My only complaint is the use of the KKII sword- I would use a traditional greatsword instead. Other than that, though, an excellent vig.

I left my review on mocpages, as michael pichula, and here I must ask again, does the vine, and green clips, come in any of the sets?

The rock, as I said, looks amazingly realistic, and for some reason, all the colors in this scene seem to compliment each other very well.

Great work.

Very nice DS! I like the rock solution you employ, with bits of green on there, nice touch.

Thanks for the comments all :)

The vine & green clips are not available in the new line. I doubt the 1x1 green plates are either ;) However I wasn't going for accuracy within a specific LEGO theme here, I was just aiming to create a cool scene using some of the new elements.

I chose the Princess Storm head because I didn't think the current Princess head was suited to this vig.

The sword was chosen purely on basis of colour, to match the new silvery elements.

What I really wanted to do was do a study of that landscaping technique. & I must admit I'm loving it

Thanks again!

I'm not too fond of vigs for the most part but this is definitely an exception! Very good vig and well executed :)
