005 White Castle

Post by Graynar »

Hey guys!

After what you guys said, I decided to keep making mocs.

Today's set is 005 White Castle!
A short description is in order:

The Lion Knights had been on the run from the Dragon Masters for several days. When they stumbled upon an old abandoned castle. Quickly they made this fort their new home for the time being. Sadly, the Shadow Knights had located this castle, and have laid siege to it. The Lion Knights must protect their treasure!



And as always, a computer inhanced pic:

Next-the Shadow Knights storm the gate house: http://photos22.flickr.com/33700999_69b6f54bee.jpg?v=0

The Shadow Knights use siege ladders to scale the walls: http://photos22.flickr.com/33701001_6b08c9f246.jpg?v=0

How the castle opens up:(big picture) http://photos23.flickr.com/33702420_4953b6553c_b.jpg

Comments and criticism are welcome!

:o Are we seeing a return to the classic wall pieces? :wink:

This is way cool. I wasn't expecting it to open up, but when it did, I found it to be very effective. Not much else for me to say; good piece selection and figs.

Yeah, I currently have four, and I think they make pretty good soldier uniforms. But man, I have so many crowns now. :cry:

I like the way you mixed the KK2 figs with the KK3 figs... I was suprised how nice it looked! I had been thinking the mix would not look good because the KK2 logo is a bit cartoonish, while the KK3 one is more... serious?

Anyway, cool moc, nice castle! White is such a scarce color to find in large quantities (especially new, non-yellowed white), that we don't see enough white castles.

I really like the way it opens, I think I will steal/borrow that idea.

Did you change the colors of the arms on the Mathias torso, I can't really tell from the picture.

But the KKI doesn´t look cartoonish... sure you didn´t mean KKII: 1 and 2 ;)

ehhh.... now I'm getting confused! :)

I mean King Leo's logo... seems kinda cartoonish to me - looks like a disney lion compared to the crusaders or the Mathis Logo.

Looks great! I really like how it opens and I love the classic feel to it. Keep it up!
