EB Community Castle Build: Discussion Thread

[Erdbeereis]

Alright, here are a few things that I want to add to my builds:

1) Butcher

2) Courtyard

3) Jeweler

And then I'll try the kitchen sometime as well. Since Thrash made such a great Jester's joke shop, you can take my name off of that.

[Dan Church]

OOOOOOOHH!! butcher and jeweler sound fun. I'll take a crack at that!

[Erdbeereis]

OOOOOOOHH!! butcher and jeweler sound fun. I'll take a crack at that!

Sounds good!

So then if one module has 2 builders like the butcher and jeweler will now, will the community vote on which to include?

What are the specifications of the courtyard going to be? I'll probably start on that once I know.

[Dan Church]

Cool, this should be fun. I'll start tonight. Good luck Erdbeereis1.

[jifel]

Okay, I made an Armory, and took pics, should have them up soon.

I would assume that's what will happen. ISC or someone can just set up a pole with a few pictures of both and then give it a few days to see who gets the most votes. If they're amazing, then we might just have to include both.

I think that the courtyard will be 32x32.

Can't wait to see it!

Well, here is my Armory. I actually made it only 11 high, but I can easily fix that.

Here it is!

NOTE: This is a WiP, I will change it and Post these changes.

I posted more pics in the Alpha thread.

For the courtyard, are there going to be technic holes as well, or will it just rest inside the keep?

I must say, this is turning out to be a great project with lots of great modules so far!

Nice work everyone and thanks again ISC for the brilliant idea!

[I Scream Clone]

OMG! Ok people, its going to take me a little while to sift through everything since being front paged. Thanks btw Capn Green Hair Ill see you later

Great to see such a groundswell of interest.

To all new recruits I will put you into one of the two groups that Dragonator and I are in charge of. Post your pics there, though you may post your fav pic in the discussion thread, so I can bookmark it

On to the questions then

Thanks but when you say come and join what exactly do you mean. It might just be that I am missing the blatentley obvious but I don't really understand where exactly you join

Just ask and you will be assigned a group, then tell me what you would like to build.

ISC, do you mind changing my name from "Erbeereis1" to "Erdbeereis1"?

I'm assuming it was just a typo.

I guess since Thrash already made the jester's joke shop, you can take my name off for that one...

Will do, sorry mate.

Thanks Pickerel I am stupid some times ... Anyway ... Can I join please?

Yep. Beta group for you

Please can I join!

I would love to build advenurers guild first and sure some more thing later!

Im planning to build my own village too,inspired by the new castle set.

Your in too, Beta for you too

I would love to help out. I can build anything you want me to.

Your in Alpha, just let me know what you are keen to build off the list in the first post.

I would like to join!

Can I please do the treasure room?

Also, how big is the baseplate the treasure room are going to be built on?

Your in Dennimator, Beta for you.

Can I build the Armory?

I dont think anyone is doing it.

Also, when we have finished, we just post pics, right?

jifel

Yep, nice armory, could you only post one pic in the Discussion thread though, and place a link to the Alpha thread instead. Cheers

Sure. On the layout, the treasury was made to be 16x32 with a 8x32 hallway outside, but you could also make it 16x16 and 8x16, respectively. Whichever you think would work better. For a look at the hallway and overall look of the rooms of the keep, you might want to check out Sandy's princess chamber.

Sure. Anyone can build anything, even if someone else has already built it.

When you're done, you just post pictures. I'm not sure what the final verdict is, but we've considered having each person make some picture-instructions of how to build each of their creations. That way we will be able to recreate all of them (if we can't physically get the together) for a convention or something.

ISC, perhaps since there's such a growing interest you should make explicit guidelines for joining and building in the first post. Also, it looks like people are wanting to build the rooms in the keep, so maybe you should update the first post with the layout for the keep. I posted the layout with a new corresponding list a while back.

~Thrash

Updated the first post, thanks again for the layout. The guidelines will be regigged a little when I get a moment.

I hope it's not too late to get in on the fun! I'm in if possible.

Your in Dan, Alpha for you.

I'd like to join the build! For my first MOC, I've done a Falconer. I put pictures of it up in the Alpha thread (I guess that's the team I'll be on).

Enjoy!

Nice start there Lalande, I have put you in Alpha by request.

Ooooooh! I want to join in building this town! Can I make like a kitchen or a prince's room in the castle?

Beta for you then, man I need a sorting hat I will put you down for the kitchen and prince's room too

Alright, here are a few things that I want to add to my builds:

1) Butcher

Kitchen has been listed for you Erdbeeries1

Thanks thrash for updating the list on page 16 made my life a little easier

OOOOOOOHH!! butcher and jeweler sound fun. I'll take a crack at that!

Excellent, will look forward to what you can come up with.

Sounds good!

So then if one module has 2 builders like the butcher and jeweler will now, will the community vote on which to include?

Ooooo, courtyard sounds cool, can't wait.

32 square sounds like a plan.

Dang! Your front page announcement really helped, Captain Green Hai5rt! Thanks a lot!

1/2 way done with Troll Embassy, the torturer and secondary gatehouse are in my head, but need a couple Bricklink orders and some free time to build them, the alchemist's lab needs some work!

Wow.....having just read the past 23 pages i am simply stunned and sitting here in amazement with all the work that has been done so far. Congratulations to all the organizers and participants and thanks for making this front page news.

Can i suggest maybe having a plan of the castle with a link to a photo of each module.

This has to be one of the best projects undertaken by Eurobrick members since i have been here......Well Done.

[Dragonator]

Wow, it's great to see all the interest that has sprung up! I'm looking forward to seeing what my new recruits have to offer. I'd better get to work on my module soon, otherwise I'll look a little silly once everyone else has finished.

Can i suggest maybe having a plan of the castle with a link to a photo of each module.

Just check the first post mate.

I too would like to say well done to everyone who has built something so far, the entries are much better than I had even hoped, and there are more coming in every day. This is going to be one very cool castle!

Keep building, and if you have any questions or need any help, I'm not far away.

Oh, and well done ICS keeping up all the applications, your doing a fabulous job and we all appreciate it. Don't you just love indexing all those creations?

I really wanted to bring our collective genius's together because I knew they were capable of amazing things.

Mate you still have to enter CCCVI yet Which I might have a go at too, so that could be a little time consuming I guess, what with PtV large to build still......

Thanks for your assistance, and yes indexing is such a lovely job.

Hey everyone,

I love what's going down here, it's great to see everyone contributing to such a fantastic project! I was wondering if I could join in too? I noticed last night that Bank still hasn't been chosen yet - I'd be happy to do it! Bank is quite a modern term, the medieval version would have most likely been Money Changer, which were a pre-cursor to modern banking. There's a wiki link here, interesting stuff: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Money_changing

Let me know if it's fine for me to join, I've been thinking about a build already

[jifel]

Im considering my next build, but what is "mystery play"?

A money changer is a great idea. I knew a medieval town had to have some type of bank-like thing, but I couldn't quite put my finger on what it would be. Well done.

As soon as ISC sees your post he'll add you to one of the two teams. Then you can post your MOCs for the build in that thread.

Basically they were religious plays that depicted scenes from the bible. Check out the wikipedia article for more info.

I would love to build the "butcher" can I ???

[General Armendariz]

Good! im going to build the Dungeon! is the dungeon on a 16 by 16 base plate?

Anyone can build anything. However, I think Erdbeeries and Dan Church are also building the butcher, so you'll have some competition. In the event that more than one person builds a module, we'll make a poll and let the community decide which one is included in the build.

Good! im going to build the Dungeon! is the dungeon on a 16 by 16 base plate?

Nope. On the layout the Dungeon is in spot 11, and 11 is a 32x32. The idea behind the larger modules was that they would double as guard towers, so if you go for the dungeon try to make it guard-tower-like on the outside. The 32x32 plate will be positioned on the corner such that the walls are 8 studs from the outside of the baseplate. I can try to come up with a diagram if you're not sure what i'm saying...

~Thrash

[Erdbeereis]

Dan Church told me he didn't have the time to build the butcher and the jeweler, so there's only me now.

So Arawos, feel free to try the butcher out if you want, and then the community can vote on which one to keep.

Makes indexing so much easier.
