MOC: modular renaissance buildings

Post by mautara »

I know that they are not properly "classic-castle" because of the people and the lamps... but these buildings I made are in Italian Renaissance Style (inspired by Palazzo Farnese and Palazzo Spada both in Rome) so I feel to post them here too. I hope you don't dislike this.

I say, everything that you want to be castle can be castle; all someone needs is a little imagination while looking at the pictures

The workers on the left are not workers at all, but new royal guard, with new type of red helmets, and they are not found of the new uniforms, but nobody asks them :)

Lamp posts are actually lanterns, with fuse and oil inside

Red water coolant (or how is it called in english) on the right is actually a church altar, where you can light a candle

There, you see, a nice renaissance city ;)

Yeah I wouldn't really call it Castle but I would call it well built for sure. ;)
I especially like the building on the right- the doors and archway are great, and the statue details above. Nice work.
...and that's how Equestria was made!

These seem worth studying. I'm glad you did post them as a castle item.
