Wow great rink! You'd think it would just be square, but no, you had to make it whateveragonal and more interesting that way! I'd say maybe elvated a bit more, but other than that perfect, your stuff gets better and more creative, I wish I could do that. But as piece count goes down my new mocs do too...

Great work once again! I still cannot wait for Q!
Are you going to make it ryhme like an alphebet book?
A is for Atilliator, who makes a crossbow
B is for battering ram, Whitch destroys the foe
C is for carpenter, his hard work will show,
D is for duel, Where the knights always go,
Etc, etc, etc.....

Dude...

That is a great MOC, rarely does a MOC come along that makes me want to steal the entire design, but this is definitely one of those times. Great work! This alphabet project you are doing is excellent and this is the best structure yet.

Boy, what a neat MOC! Very original design; I like the green in it. Is it possible to put plates in the center?

Thanks for the kind words everyone. I will try to answer some questions.

You sure do churn these out fast!

I was waiting for a few parts from bricklink for C, so I had a chance to work ahead on D

I like the green in it. Is it possible to put plates in the center?

You could put more in, but, at least the way I did it, it can't be completely filled

It would have about a half of a plate width gap.

Thanks!

Hello!

As usual your MOC is great.
And it's the first reasonable use of this tigerthing fig that I saw :-)

Bye

James~ Great job! I really like the whole idea of this. I especially like them all lined up for refreshments. That made me smile. *Cheers* for James!

James, great job. One minor quibble: In the photo "lock in" they seem to be barring the door--presumably so no knight can turn tail and run away. But in the next photo the doors are open.

What's up for E? The Earl of Sandwich? Elephants from Carthage? Egg-laying chickens?

Busted! Good eyes Bruce. I noticed this only after completing all of the picture taking, cropping, uploading, and cleaning up my mess and was too lazy to fix it... I hate it when that happens.

You'll see that the doors are closed for the most intense part of the battle:

I should have just put my lock-in pic a little later in the sequence

E is pretty much complete and should be online in a few days...

Nice job dude!

Although it seems a little more like a Gladitorial contest, then a ChivalricTorunament.

I like how you used all those hinges to create that circular gate. Great Moc!
