September 24, 20159 yr Wow! It looks just like those cross-section images in the non-fiction castle books in my library.
September 24, 20159 yr This is fantastic! This is the exact thing why I love LEGO so much! Truly truly awesome.. You have taken all the right parts during a siege. I love the kettle with oil, or whatever nasty busisness, the most.. Great job!
September 24, 20159 yr Wow! It looks just like those cross-section images in the non-fiction castle books in my library. looks like you got inspiration from Stephen Biesty Edited September 24, 20159 yr by Gianluca Morelli
September 24, 20159 yr Love it. this would be a great way to display different minifigs too. @Sneeuwwitje, fun fact from my limited medieval historical knowledge, oil was too expensive to use to drop on enemies and instead they'd chuck down rocks on their attackers.
September 24, 20159 yr Great MOC. Love the hoarding on the ramparts. @Sneeuwwitje, fun fact from my limited medieval historical knowledge, oil was too expensive to use to drop on enemies and instead they'd chuck down rocks on their attackers. Or, if you have lots, boiling water.
September 24, 20159 yr Really cool castle, i especially like your interiors: all wel executed, and in a style i really love. Or, if you have lots, boiling water. I think we saw that during History. But they only did it when they had a way to regain it, by well or rain.
September 24, 20159 yr Author Thanks everyone for the many kind comments! Wow! It looks just like those cross-section images in the non-fiction castle books in my library. looks like you got inspiration from Stephen Biesty You uncovered my secret! Love it. this would be a great way to display different minifigs too. @Sneeuwwitje, fun fact from my limited medieval historical knowledge, oil was too expensive to use to drop on enemies and instead they'd chuck down rocks on their attackers. According to this wiki (with citations) heated oil was used with murder holes although perhaps not as often as cheaper weapons (it is supposed to be oil pouring down in the MOC). https://en.wikipedia...thermal_weapons "Oil of various kinds could be heated to high temperatures and poured over an enemy,[70] although, since it was extremely expensive, its use was limited, both in frequency and quantity.[21][40] Moreover, it could be dangerous and volatile. Since the smoke point of oil is lower than its boiling point, the oil was only heated and not boiled." Edited September 24, 20159 yr by Vorkosigan
September 25, 20159 yr Always a fan of cross-sections, they really let you pack in the detail and use some interesting techniques. This one is no exception !
March 31, 20168 yr The interiors are great! Looks like that dragon knight is in a tight spot! So much detail! The gate and figs look great too!
