Simon_S Posted July 21, 2015 Posted July 21, 2015 Hey! I'm happy to present you my next build! During my militairy service I didn't have much time to build, but on some weekends I had some free time and as you could expect, it was well spent . Last weekend I had 4 days off service, so I finally could finish it and take some "good" pictures. Forechester Castle You can see more photos of other angles (it's 360° viewable) and details in my Flickr Photostream. I hope you like it! 30 Days to Freedom... Greetings Simon Quote
Exetrius Posted July 21, 2015 Posted July 21, 2015 Such a lovely castle! Good greebling on the walls, that balcony scene is nice too. Also great job on the vegetation and rockwork. If there were to be something to improve, it would be the water I guess. Great build Quote
Garmadon Posted July 21, 2015 Posted July 21, 2015 Wonderful castle Simon, superb incorporation of those pre-molded castle pieces! Lovely colors on this, the overgrown vegetation looks fantastic! Can't wait until you can be around more often again! Quote
Kai NRG Posted July 21, 2015 Posted July 21, 2015 Fantastic castle, I really like how seamlessly you incorporated those large castle pieces. Also, as I said on Flickr, the green and tan works wonderfully, certainly a combination I never would have thought up! Quote
WickNole Posted July 21, 2015 Posted July 21, 2015 This makes me want to build some castle of my own... Truly, an inspiring build. Quote
MassEditor Posted July 21, 2015 Posted July 21, 2015 Beautiful work! Lovely landscaping and castle, I particularly like how the vegetation has grown around its walls. The castle design is really cool, especially with the angled walls and the tan/green sections of the towers. Hope to see you around more! Quote
Captain Nemo Posted July 21, 2015 Posted July 21, 2015 Spectacular castle! I love the simple design that's not overblown (as castles sometimes can be), and the foliage as everyone else has said looks perfect. What I really think is great about this though, is the fact that no matter the angle of the shot, it feels like you're looking at the best side of the castle--all sides look equally interesting and feel like the best part. Great job! Quote
Jorrith Posted July 21, 2015 Posted July 21, 2015 Good to see you are back to build once again! What a wonderfull castle, i love the angled walls and the weathered look of the top floors of the towers. Outstanding work! Quote
MiloNelsiano Posted July 21, 2015 Posted July 21, 2015 This looks great!ive been wanting to build a similar style castle as we'll and have been slowly accumulating parts for it, but have no idea when I might try it. Looking forward to when you're finished with your service and can return full time! Quote
Blufiji Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 Absolutely stunning. Everything is bright, vibrant and alive and green, true to the Avalonian theme. Quote
Bregir Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 I think Captain Nemo said it perfectly - All perspectives look like the best perspective. There are details to appreciate everywhere, and something going on so many different places. Only thing I am missing is a bit of a story - how does it fit into Historica. Can't wait to have you back for good! Quote
Captain Braunsfeld Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 ROFWE = rolling on the floor with envy - this is so fantastic. It is one of the "I wish I had build this" castles! Quote
Simon_S Posted July 22, 2015 Author Posted July 22, 2015 Such a lovely castle! Good greebling on the walls, that balcony scene is nice too. Also great job on the vegetation and rockwork. If there were to be something to improve, it would be the water I guess. Great build Thank you Exetrius. I changed the water around three times (first with different shades of blue, then with tan near the rocks + different blues, all white) and I'm still not very happy with it. I went for the all white version, mostly to save pieces for the future. The thing I liked about it was that there was another bright colour in there which went well together with the green. Nice build Simon. GoH rules! Thanks Z! It feels so good to be more around here Wonderful castle Simon, superb incorporation of those pre-molded castle pieces! Lovely colors on this, the overgrown vegetation looks fantastic! Can't wait until you can be around more often again! Thank you. I'm happy you like them as it was quite a pain to make them look (more or less ) good. Only 29 days left Fantastic castle, I really like how seamlessly you incorporated those large castle pieces. Also, as I said on Flickr, the green and tan works wonderfully, certainly a combination I never would have thought up! Thanks mate. After I finished the stonework I knew that there wasn't much innovative (special angles, techniques, etc) in this build, so I threw in some green and I think it worked out well. This makes me want to build some castle of my own... Truly, an inspiring build. Thanks a lot... Go for it! My first castle was very small, didn't have any other angles than 90°, but it was a beginning. So don't procrastinate it and start building ! Beautiful work! Lovely landscaping and castle, I particularly like how the vegetation has grown around its walls. The castle design is really cool, especially with the angled walls and the tan/green sections of the towers. Hope to see you around more! Thanks for this kind comment ME. Now that I found out that they have the same Wi-Fi password in all barracks in Switzerland, I will be around more often Btw. Your isle build was absolutely fantastic! Very inspiring . Spectacular castle! I love the simple design that's not overblown (as castles sometimes can be), and the foliage as everyone else has said looks perfect. What I really think is great about this though, is the fact that no matter the angle of the shot, it feels like you're looking at the best side of the castle--all sides look equally interesting and feel like the best part. Great job! Thank you Captain! The last castle I built was quite different... with interiors on the backside and so on. I mainly built this to bring it to a convention, so I wanted it to have 360° viewable this time. Beautiful MOC! Great job! Thank you Good to see you are back to build once again! What a wonderfull castle, i love the angled walls and the weathered look of the top floors of the towers. Outstanding work! Thanks Jorrith What a beauty! Thank you Graham! This looks great!ive been wanting to build a similar style castle as we'll and have been slowly accumulating parts for it, but have no idea when I might try it. Looking forward to when you're finished with your service and can return full time! Thanks Milo! As I said above, just start building and have fun. The rest will come automatically. Absolutely stunning. Everything is bright, vibrant and alive and green, true to the Avalonian theme. Thank you. And you're so right, that's exactly why I love Mitgardia Avalonia I think Captain Nemo said it perfectly - All perspectives look like the best perspective. There are details to appreciate everywhere, and something going on so many different places. Only thing I am missing is a bit of a story - how does it fit into Historica. Can't wait to have you back for good! Thank you Bregir. I'm not that much into story writing (especially when it comes to finishing one I started long time ago ), maybe I will put something together when I have done a few more builds, but for now, that's all you get . Awesome build! Thanks LV! ROFWE = rolling on the floor with envy - this is so fantastic. It is one of the "I wish I had build this" castles! Thank you Quote
-Carson Haupt- Posted July 23, 2015 Posted July 23, 2015 Wow! I really like the moss growing on the tan parts! Quote
cablefoxley Posted July 23, 2015 Posted July 23, 2015 Nice castle there, I really like the window in the rear tower on the second picture. Much more interesting than square ones Quote
TitusV Posted July 23, 2015 Posted July 23, 2015 Oh, lovely! I like every brick and stud of it! Quote
fred67 Posted July 23, 2015 Posted July 23, 2015 It's really nice - I love every little detail on it, from angled wall section to the flora growing around the outsides to the "metal" hinges on the doors to the stained glass looks.... Just an incredible work of art. Quote
LittleJohn Posted July 23, 2015 Posted July 23, 2015 Beautiful build, Simon! The wall texturing, foliage, and tudor sections look amazing! I love the stained glass window too Quote
Slegengr Posted July 24, 2015 Posted July 24, 2015 Sweet build, Simon! Nice to see you back! I particularly like the angled walls and the windows. The water looks great as well! Quote
knight_40k Posted July 24, 2015 Posted July 24, 2015 Love the colors and detail of this thing. Great work! Quote
