Hi all,

This building technique by Erik Amzallag recently showed up on Brickshelf:

Check out his website - BrikErik or his Brickshelf gallery to see some really awesome castles. Erik is a member of FreeLUG, but he has posted a few times on Lugnet. Here is his announcement from Lugnet.

All I can say is that that is one awesome window idea.

Hello!


That's simply great.
This guy obviously loves playing around with the bricks and finding awesome new building techniques.

thats so cool, I decided to order some 1x1 tiles to try this!

Simply awsome!

That window is a thing of beauty. Now I have something to do with all the trans- tiles that I have. And I like the way he's used a wrench to hold the flag by the door. Very imaginative.

Hmm...

I bet you could make a really cool stained glass window with this. And it would use way less bricks than the other main style.

I like!

Hello !

Thanks for all the comments !

It's my first post here, after I read the Bruce's post on Lugnet about the window. I came sometimes on this forum to read some topics, but never post.

Hei, welcome to classic-castle.
The window is great IMO

That looks great, a good change from having plain windows in MOCs. If only I could figure out how to build these, I would love to make one.

HI! and thanks for posting. A builder like you should show off a little. I Expect to see more from you.

This is a very nice window.

(edit: I mean show off here. because I always look here for my lego castle needs. )

I've spend hours on trying to make a window like that, and I couldn't come up with anything that would fit . This is great... I should have thought of this, it's funny, cos the SNIRing he does really resembles my new technique of getting my stave church' roof right

Now, i really need to find out a way to make such a window with 1x2 panels, since i got tons of em in different transparent colors, and I'd really like to use those in windows... :|

Hi Erik,

I'm glad you came over to join the conversation here. In addition to the window, the way you attached the flag is great as well. I'll have to try that one soon. Finally, I really enjoy the way you photographed the scene, lit from "inside". Even without a caption I can easily imagine the evening--loud music coming from inside the inn, with this drunken peasant coming staggering out, perhaps falling flat on his face in a few steps.

I hope we'll see more from you. I especially like your Tonquedec castle.

really nice castles
I saw castle Tonquedec last year when I was at the Legoworld festival (atleast I think it was that castle)

It is exactly the effect I wanted

Thanks. Yes, it was it. But I don't go to Legoworld this year (I've not the time )

Thanks everyboy for the comments
