Chateau Satan

Post by RebelRock »

It's too bad all those people got unfairly murdered during the Inquisition, considering there were no real witches or satanists. But let's not trouble ourselves with the facts.

In a bizarro universe where satanists were real, here's where they hung out. :P

Certain aspects of this are inspired by Nannan and DARKspawn and the whole thing is dedicated to Darkkazmo. :wink:
This is probably the biggest thing I've built and a pain to photograph. It's on four 48x48 stud baseplates. I'm switching to small, witty MOCs. :P

Evil sacrifice.

Not to be trusted.

Shady characters.

Grave diggin'

What is going on around here???

This is for Nannan and Darkspawn.:wink:

Evil bowling.

Very cool, very detailed MOC. The upside-down cross window is . . . well, let's just say it's well done and in character and leave it at that, shall we? :shock:

Is there an interior, or just the exterior?

Finally, every decent occultist needs a pit to keep his cthulitic entities. :twisted:

I made the roof removable so I can add an interior...maybe.

Yet again I find myself thinking - wow!

An amazing design and very well detailed. I would be hard pressed to determine what my favourite element is, but I am leaning towards the tile-work at each of the corners of the main building.

All in all - brilliant.

Such evil! Such beauty!

Very impressive with many nice techniques (2/3 slope arching over the doorway) and good looking characters that fit the scene.

You know they're satanists because the chess board is round....

Small? I don't think so! Witty? Most definitely! I couldn't stop laughing at all the incredibly well done & hillarious details you have added. Man, almost every shot had me laughing out loud. Awesome work, Rock.

One question - how did you do the arch over the door with the cheese slopes? There must be an element in use I don't recognise.

Whoops, I meant I'm switching to small MOCs after this.

Here's the super secret part that everyones been wondering about. It makes the arch possible. :P


Cheese slopes on top of those and stuck under an arch. It give a nice rounded effect. :)

You're definitely one of my favorite builders of 2007!
Your mocs are extravagantly detailed and they keep getting better & better.
This one in particular is full of such vile beauty and horrifically entertaining details, if Satan were a FAFOL (Fallen Angel Fan Of LEGO), then he would probably build something similar to this!

Is this going to be a contest entry?

This is great. Such Evilness. So many things to compliment but I have Two questions..

Lawn Bowling? That is not very evil! Funny though.

Also, What is with the Naked lady in the Bath?, seems like a strange detail to add to this Satan's Playground, it is also in a wierd place. What is the story with her.

Well, It's certainly full of...ahem...detail.

The building and grounds are great. There is so much going on here It took me quite a while to wander through the gallery.

I 'like' the places where you have 'blood' running down, that was a good insight to build them in. And all the tiling/smoothness really helps this MOC along nicely!

Good job, but personally for the bowling scene i would have used a skeleton head for the bowling ball.

This is very well done. First off, the house is nicely designed and really gives off the creepy aura. As well, I love all of the details that you have put in at every turn, since they really make this an interesting MOC. Keep up the good work!

I saw this yesterday while browsing brickshelf and loved it all - bookmarked and saved several pics to my hard drive. I didn't notice that you were the builder for some reason.

My favorite part is the skeletons with their supply of LEGO heads to eat brains from! :) But the MOC is just FULL of action and events that are quite cool/ghastly. I like how you did the blood as well - I've never seen blood done that way, but I think that it looks quite realistic.

I also like the dirt around the grave and the way that you made it look quite realistic.

One thing I was wondering about - what's with the girl taking a bath?! That's doesn't seem so scary. :)
