Hello,
I'm new to this forum and would like to present you my "baby", the castle of Thanatos. I started the construction in November 2007. Since then much has changed, now I want to show you some pictures. Firstly here is my master piece, the throne room. As you can see I'm a great fan of chromed bricks.
As an appetizer:
And now, this is (I hope that I translated the titles correctly into English):
His Sole and Most Highest Majesty Hyakinthos II. DeTanith, Hereditary Prince of Thanatos, Great-Emperor of the Avedish Reich
[original German: Seine Alleinige Allerhöchste Majestät Hyakinthos II. DeTanith, Erbfürst von Thanatos, Großkaiser des Avedischen Reiches]
I don't want to flood the thread with all pics, more you can see on my blog http://lego-system.de/

Re: Castle of Thanatos
Very cool castle and I can see why you've been working on it 5 years, it's big! I like the color scheme, and the windows are really neat.

Re: Castle of Thanatos
That throne room is awesome. Do I see chrome gold bricks there? If so, are they custom?

Re: Castle of Thanatos
Thanks for your kind words.
There are three types of chrome-gold bricks in the throne room.
Firstly there are the normal lego pieces (like the tiles 2x1 on the floor)
Secondly I have custom chromed bricks (the throne), they are more pale than the original. I bought them from Aurimax at bricklink.
And Thirdly I have real gilded and silver-plated bricks (the darker pieces like the crowns and the flags). I got them from ChromeBricks at bricklink. They are very expensive so I have only few of them but for the throne room the most expensive is barely good enough.

Re: Castle of Thanatos
Cool castle! I'm just curious if you knew this when you named the castle, but Thanatos is the Greek embodiment of Death.

Re: Castle of Thanatos
For custom bricks the chrome quality looks good. Thanks for providing the bricklink sources. I will have to check them out.Avedis wrote: There are three types of chrome-gold bricks in the throne room.
