soccerkid6 Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 (edited) Snowy Castle dioramas have long been my favorite subject matter, so this was an extraordinarily fun build. This is my largest irregular base build to date, and features a full interior throughout the whole keep. The rockwork was made using my technic brick design, which you can see a tutorial on, here: Flickr It's my personal favorite of all my builds so far, so I hope you all like it The citizens of Nordheim are quite proud of their large keep, and can often be found feasting inside it's protective walls on cold wintry days.

Tomsche Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 Oooh, that`s a mighty gorgeous tower you build there Quote
The Steward Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 Absolutely amazing! The snow the rock work, everything! This is amazing! :thumbup: Quote
Mike S Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 You have been putting together some really amazing stuff lately! This is beautiful! Quote
TitusV Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 a bit of drool slides down my chin... Congratulations, SK, you've just build the best castle I've ever seen! Quote
Mercury Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 Fantastic build. I love the use of brown, for some reason that's my favorite color to see in MOC's. You took a cold wintry scene and made it look very home-y and cozy. It's vibrant! Quote
Jakorin Swiftsword Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 Undoubtedly brilliant Isacc! The details are everywhere! Quote
halixon Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 Dang Soccerkid, you just keep pouring out amazing nordic builds! Quote
Kai NRG Posted January 1, 2016 Posted January 1, 2016 Lots to like here soccerkid, your snow is top notch and that lake is just so... cool! The light blue under the transclear is absolutely perfect. Then of course, the keep itself - great work there as always, the wooden structures have an almost gothic feel to them. And a round of applause for including an interior! Quote
Captain Dee Posted January 1, 2016 Posted January 1, 2016 I've been awaiting this ever since you said (a few weeks ago) that your best was yet to come late this month. That is a fantastic structure and the rocky snowscape is wonderful. The largely symmetrical tapered look is really nice and the use of brown and grey looks great. The interior is good as always and I like the little details like the girl reclined by the fireplace. The leaning, tilting snow-capped palisade is brilliant and the path climbing up through the snow looks nice. My favorite detail in the whole scene is the two cardinals in the tree, fitting for such a cozy peaceful scene. Excellent work and happy building in 2016! Quote
Gideon Posted January 1, 2016 Posted January 1, 2016 There's so much to love in this build! The landscaping is top notch and the well balanced mix between stone and wood of the keep looks great too. A couple of technical questions: How are the palisade logs attached? Is the water/clear ice built with a SNOTed layer of medium blue under the SNOTed trams-clear or is it som other technique? Quote
Bregir Posted January 1, 2016 Posted January 1, 2016 Great build, SK! I like how there are details to appreciate all over. Landscaping and architecture are both jaw-dropping. The interior is nice too. As Gideon, I am wondering how you did the palisades. :) Quote
Captain Braunsfeld Posted January 1, 2016 Posted January 1, 2016 I see you're in great shape - and so are your MOCs. Another excellent build, snow-master! Quote
de Gothia Posted January 1, 2016 Posted January 1, 2016 Just stunning!!! I Love the atmosphere This moc has! The photo taken from the path showing the figs and the tower in the background is so full of life!! Great work once again! Quote
Lord Vladivus Posted January 1, 2016 Posted January 1, 2016 Great build- love the palisade fence! Quote
frumpy Posted January 1, 2016 Posted January 1, 2016 I really like this build. The roof is great. Quote
Garmadon Posted January 2, 2016 Posted January 2, 2016 Excellent build SK, lovely landscape, especially the light blue under the water and the snow, though for some reason I really love your shot of the bush, not quite sure why! Stupendous work with the palisade and tower as well, both the wood and stone-work are superb, especially the wooden sections down lower Excellent interior too, my favorite part is the grate and fire in the downstairs fireplace! Quote
Spader Posted January 2, 2016 Posted January 2, 2016 You really do some of the best snow I've ever seen............ Quote
Elostirion Posted January 2, 2016 Posted January 2, 2016 What a magnificent build! The frozen water, the way you did the snowy hill, the winding path towards the gate (probably my favourite part of the whole build, it fits so great into the landscape), the crazy palisade, the harmony between grey and brown as colours, the straw roofs with patches of snow - so many things to love. Thanks for sharing! Quote
Simon_S Posted January 3, 2016 Posted January 3, 2016 I agree that this is one of your best yet. Once again the interiors are great! But also the whole landscape, the frozen water, the snow, the rockwork - they all look fantastic. This is a wonderful build. I'm impressed by the number of builds you pulled out for the CCC, but also by the quality they are. Quote
Mpyromaxos Posted January 3, 2016 Posted January 3, 2016 Lovely tower an atmosphere! And amazing snow-job! Good work!! Quote
