The gates of Petraea

[kinggregus]

Having heard that Patraea, home to the Kaliphlin, is a land of opportunity, Ali Kabel Lhad decided to try his chance there. With his camel, he made the journey to reach Patraea.

Having accessed the town, it is obvious that the city benefit of a wealth beyond belief.

Ali Kabel Lhad leaves his camel at the stable. This is the first time they are separated after this long journey.

After having left his camel, Ali Kabel Lhad can now look for a job. Petraea, due to its immense wealth, is in a position to accept everyone and provide job to all.

...

So here it is, my first contributin to the book of Kaliphlin, I will certainly provide more updates in the next few months. Please, comments & criticisms are more than welcome.

Cheers,

Wowzers! That is one stunning gate! I especially like your use of the round brick corner parts, with jumper plates? stick out of the gaps occasionally

Superb shape too, with the curving walls, and buildings that match that curve inside. Even the landscape is impressive, with some great sand dunes and good use of plants

[Garmadon]

Beautiful build KingGregus - wonderful job with the colors, and the wall and gates are very impressive and convey the feeling of enormous wealth superbly! Fantastic work with the interior as well, those stables are particularly excellent (the olive roofs work incredibly well!) Can't wait to see more from you here!

[LittleJohn]

Fantastic intro, kinggregus! The curved wall is superb and I really like the sand dunes as well

The curved buildings inside are excellent as well, looking forward to seeing more Kaliphlin builds from you!

[Mr Greeble]

That blue against that orange and gold is superb! All the little details, shaping, this must have taken you months!

[kinggregus]

My god! First three messages from my heroes from Eurobricks, Missing only Mark of Falworth ... I can now (almost) die happy

In response to Isaac, I have filled the corner round bricks with droid arms,it is the only piece that could fill the gap + it was connected on the other side to ensure the wall was sturdy.

Thanks so much Mr Greeble. Indeed, I started shortly before Christmas, but then, I am a very slow builder... + I had to make a few Bricklink orders as I had overestimated my collection of medium dark flesh.

Totally agreed on, lovely build!

Ah! That's quite clever, and something I'll have to remember if ever use a lot of those corner round bricks

This is so beautiful!!! Lovely gate and that colourscheme is brilliant!!

[Mike S]

Like the others have said this is an amazing and beautiful build! Lovely choice of colors!

[Blufiji]

Everything blended so well I thought it was digital. You've really got a hand for matching the gates with the lively colors of the city, as every build I've seen from Petraea is similar. Excellent first build.

[Kai NRG]

Lovely! The colors here are excellent, very nice sandscape out front and the bits of green add a lot! Those golden doors are great too and I really like the little buildings lining the inside! Great to have you in Kaliphlin!

[Jacob Nion]

That gate depicts with no doubt what I imagined Petraea to look like. An impressive build that gives visitors a glance of the wealth of Kaliphlin.

Outstanding work!

[don leopold]

This is beautiful, the colors are matching perfect !!!

I like the curved walls and nice using of the fences from the elves sets.

[Captain Braunsfeld]

Lovely, excellent build.

The essence of Kaliphlin is well captured!

[peedeejay]

Beautiful build!

[Gideon]

Very nice build, this would certainly fit as one of the gates of Petraea! I like both the overall appearance and the details

Is it droid arms you've used between the curved parts beside the gate?

I always like when both sides of a non-rectilinear structure is presentable

[Elostirion]

That is an amazing gate, matching the style really well. Great work!

[Kayne]

Fantastic MOC! Welcome to Kaliphlin!

[The Steward]

Amazing!! That is amazing!

[SkaForHire]

Wowsers! Excellent build, and it struck me as well as just the perfect visage of one of the main gates of the richest cities in the world.

[Graham Gidman]

Oh wow, this is absolutely fantastic! The gold and light blue look so good together.

[Lord Vladivus]

Amazing build! So many beautiful details!

[Bregir]

You never get a second chance to make a good first impression, and you definitely took your chance! This is just fantastic. My favourite part is the doors of the gate, but the whole thing is just beautiful. I love the plentiful colours, and it looks extraordinarily rich and decorated, while at the same time it maintains its military functionality.

Very well done!
