vitreolum Posted November 21, 2014 Posted November 21, 2014 (edited) I was honestly expecting this to be my worst build of the three, but it turned out well in the end. Had trouble with the ground, as I ran out of parts fast there and ended up using more colors and styles than I wanted. Would like to claim UoP credit for: - wall technique 3 - siege - fortifications - tree 2 Edited January 17, 2015 by vitreolum Quote
Alfadas Posted November 21, 2014 Posted November 21, 2014 Very nice trebuchet! Also the wall looks very nice. Quote
Lord Vladivus Posted November 21, 2014 Posted November 21, 2014 Nice! Great trebuchet and wall, and nice figs! Quote
Jakorin Swiftsword Posted November 21, 2014 Posted November 21, 2014 Beautiful wall technique, and that trebuchet looks really good! Quote
Slegengr Posted November 21, 2014 Posted November 21, 2014 Great build, vitreolum! The subtle curve in the wall is fantastic! I also like that trebuchet and the wall, foliage, and stones. The minifigures work well: the dwarves have some nice variation and the Drow look like Drow to me. A story to go with this build would certainly be nice. Brick on, vitreolum! Quote
MassEditor Posted November 21, 2014 Posted November 21, 2014 Fantastic work as always Vitreolum! So much to appreciate here - the subtle curve to the wall, the inserted sand green and light bley tiles and the surrounding foliage really turn this into a top notch entry. The trebuchet, however, really takes the cake here. One of the best I've ever seen in LEGO. Nicely compact but no sacrifice of details. Superb man! Quote
Kai NRG Posted November 21, 2014 Posted November 21, 2014 (edited) The mossy fallen tree is really good, in fact that whole area of terrain looks fantastic! Nice work on the trebuchet as well, good use for Infearno's head thing! Edit: +1 for the UoP credits. Edited November 21, 2014 by Kai NRG Quote
Mr Greeble Posted November 21, 2014 Posted November 21, 2014 Fantastic job on using infearnos head piece for something besides ghost rider! Quote
Garmadon Posted November 21, 2014 Posted November 21, 2014 Excellent wall and landscape, vitreolum, but, as mentioned above, the trebuchet is really what makes this build stand out Quote
mccoyed Posted November 21, 2014 Posted November 21, 2014 I did think Category C was supposed to be a series of builds, though. Does that mean one is good, but you have the option of doing more or does it mean you're supposed to do more than one? Quote
Gideon Posted November 21, 2014 Posted November 21, 2014 (edited) Very nice siege equipment, and great diorama overall! I especially like the ground close to the wall a lot Definitely UoP +1 for wall, siege and fortifications...but where is the tree? Edited November 21, 2014 by Gideon Quote
Hammerhand Posted November 22, 2014 Posted November 22, 2014 Beautiful build! The wall texture is perfect, did you use jumper plates to do the protruding parts, or are they just regular tiles? Whatever it is it looks very nice! That trebuchet also looks great! Awesome job on the ground texture too. This is a bit random, but one I think looks particularly cool is how the indentations in the wall look like they are where a window used to be, and they've now been walled up, giving it a very old fortress feel.

vitreolum Posted November 22, 2014 Author Posted November 22, 2014 Thanks a lot everyone. :) @mccoyed My aim is to make 2 builds for it, this and a small vig with the dwarves building the trebuchet. I've actually done that a while ago, but I can't find the picture, I guess I deleted it. Still it was really lame so I'm not too bothered. @Gideon The tree trunk near the wall. It's the technique I used here: http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=101889 @Hammerhand They're tiles, this allows them to be only about 1/4 out, using jumper plates would make them halway out.

Gideon Posted November 22, 2014 Posted November 22, 2014 @Gideon The tree trunk near the wall. It's the technique I used here: http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=101889 I was clearly not looking hard enough UoP +1 because of the nice shape of the trunk then! Quote
Gunman Posted November 22, 2014 Posted November 22, 2014 Very beautiful wall technique and treb mate! Quote
soccerkid6 Posted November 22, 2014 Posted November 22, 2014 Lovely siege scene The wall texturing and design is superb, the recessed sections look especially neat Amazing trebuchet and landscape too Quote
StickFig Posted November 29, 2014 Posted November 29, 2014 Pictures are missing right now.... some problem in Flickr? Quote
gedren_y Posted November 29, 2014 Posted November 29, 2014 (edited) Pictures are missing right now.... some problem in Flickr? Just click on his Flickr link below. The images are in his photostream. He probably needs to redo the BBCode link from the album. Edited November 29, 2014 by gedren_y Quote
vitreolum Posted November 29, 2014 Author Posted November 29, 2014 I've played with the resolution on them, might have changed the code somehow. Should be working now. Quote
StickFig Posted November 30, 2014 Posted November 30, 2014 I must have missed the Flickr link before. Excellent MOC!!! +1 UoP DoH all claims Quote
de Gothia Posted December 8, 2014 Posted December 8, 2014 Excellent moc as said by other! The trebuchet is mind blowing! I want to build things like that!!! Quote
