I Scream Clone Posted February 9, 2009 Author Posted February 9, 2009 Let me state that I wont be commenting on any Modules unless they aren't comp entries, in an effort to remain non biased for voting purposes. If they aren't then I am happy to comment or critique away Quote
Lalande Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 Your Dyer MOC is brilliant, Waterbrick Down! I had thought about doing this module myself, but I'm glad you did it instead, as you have done such a fabulous job! I love the way the men are stirring the dye, the dyed shirts hanging to dry and the run-off stream going by... This is a module after my own heart, since it reflects crafts of the era so well. Keep it up! By the way, I see why you wish he were on Beta, Thrash, since with his help Alpha is going to crush Beta! Go Alpha! Quote
castlestrike666 Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 Hi guys! I'm back in business Now that I know the results of the exams at school, I can start building again ;) By the way, I passed for all of the courses this semester, and I'm the first one of our Marketing class Let's start building now! :skull: Grtzz Kenny.

Erdbeereis Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 Ok, it's time to bring team Alpha back from the dead! Here's my first contest entry, the Fortune Teller. More pictures on Flickr. Look for my second entry soon.... Thanks! Quote
Lalande Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 I finally finished my contest entry. Here is my Hatter's Shop! A lady shopper is examining the red hennin to decide if she wants to buy it. This next picture shows the half-timbering on the side of the shop, and the thatched roof. Look at all the hats for sale! Here is a close up of the overly excited man selling hats, and the hat rack. There are lady's hennins, and men's liripipes, hoods, turbans and other hats with plenty of feathers. What's that man doing up above? Here's a top view. From bottom left clockwise: The hatseller, a man's feathered hat, a floral chaplet partially completed on the shelf, scissors, a barrel of feathers, a man on a ladder dying a hat blue, a boy on a ladder dying some felt for a yellow hat, a jester's liripipe on the shelf, a man hammering some lapis lazuli to make more blue dye (partially hidden), and the hat rack. The fumes from the mordanting agents in the dye must be pretty strong... Who is that man hanging from the rafters?? Looks like he's mad as a hatter. Oh, wait, he IS the hatter... Hope you enjoy my entry! Quote
Thrash Posted March 31, 2009 Posted March 31, 2009 Great job Erdbeereis! I think that this is your best module yet. The details on the outside all look really nice and the interior looks perfect for a fortune teller! One of my favorite details is the way that you didn't push the roof tiles down...I've never thought to do that before. ~Thrash Quote
Dragonator Posted March 31, 2009 Posted March 31, 2009 Oh lovely, good job you two! Good to see some new entries. I like your roofing effect Erdbeereis, very cool. Unfortunately I wont be able to enter the contest, time is a bit of a luxury for me at the moment, but I will endeavour to get my gatehouse finished. Sometime. Eventually. Quote
Erdbeereis Posted April 2, 2009 Posted April 2, 2009 Presenting my second entry, the Fish Monger! Quote
Thrash Posted April 2, 2009 Posted April 2, 2009 Great job Erdbeereis! The color scene is great and the interior is really nice too. The giant octopus on the wall is a really cool detail and the fish monger minifig is perfect. It's a shame that there's all this great competition for the contest! Each day I see my chances of winning decreasing. Just joking. I love all the new entries coming in...lots of good competition! Quote
darkagent Posted April 2, 2009 Posted April 2, 2009 Very cool Erdbeereis. The color scheme is perfect. Quote
pedro Posted April 4, 2009 Posted April 4, 2009 Fellow sirs - I haven't abandoned you! In fact I built the 'money changer' just before Xmas, but due to my last PC dying I haven't had a chance to post the photos yet (and having to quickly build an entry for the SW vehcle contest didn't help either!). I'll post 'em up soon as I have the chance. Quote
pedro Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 Ladies and good Sir Knights! After some delay I finally present you the grand opening of the EBCC money changer and merchant's guild... "During medieval times in Europe, many cities and towns issued their own coins, often carrying the face of a ruler, such as the regional baron or bishop. When outsiders, especially travelling merchants, visited towns for a market fair, it became necessary to exchange his foreign coins to local ones at local money changers. Money changers would assess a foreign coin for its type, wear and tear and possible counterfeit, then accept it as deposit, recording its value in local currency. The merchant could then withdraw the money in local currency to conduct trade or, more likely, keep it deposited and use its clearing facility to conduct trade." ~ Wikipedia Ye Olde Front Ye Olde Castle Wall Ye Olde Lower floor ~ Money Changer The lower floor sees many customers coming and going, from peasants to royalty... Ye Olde Upper Floor ~ Merchant's Guild The money changer is funded and administrated by the merchant's guild who possess the necessary financial strength and connections to run the organisation. A senior merchant takes residence on the second storey of the building. Here, Grandolf the Wizard pays visit to the establishment... The Guard and the Crow The guard might find himself in for a little surprise! My first real foray into the world of Castle! Comments and criticism welcome. Due to the rules on posting images there are only 5 photos here but there is so much more to show! Please visit here (when moderated) to see many more pictures, the layouts of the rooms and the lit-up fireplace! Quote
Thrash Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 Wow! That's a really great module Pedro. The exteriors great, interiors great, roof is great...everything is great! I also really like the way those hair pieces look on the minifigs...are those from Arealight? ~Thrash Quote
pedro Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 Cheers Thrash, be sure to check the gallery when it becomes available Aye, the hair-pieces are from Arealight. I've got a few of them in different colours and they look really good on your medieval/fantasy characters - amongst others. Quote
I Scream Clone Posted April 23, 2009 Author Posted April 23, 2009 Well done Pedro! If this is your first foray into Castle, you have set the bar quite high! I love the roof, the exterior and interior. I will def check the BS folder too. The hair pieces are fantastic, the swept back hair is quite nice. I just ordered a few bits from Arealight, and will have to go back and have another look. If you have a chance to look at the list of unbuilt modules, you could help us finish the town off too. Cheers ISC Quote
Waterbrick Down Posted April 26, 2009 Posted April 26, 2009 Wow, Great build pedro, I'm glad to have you participating in this build, you're a wonderful addition. Now, presenting C9 Actor's Guild The lower level featuring the costumer and the stage hand/prop manager. The upper level featuring the playwright and the actor. The Playwright hard at his next work. The Actor practicing his part for the upcoming production. More pics at my brickshelf when regulated Thanks all and keep up the work. Quote
I Scream Clone Posted April 27, 2009 Author Posted April 27, 2009 Well done on a well crafted scene! I love the actor practicing his lines, the costumer working hard and the playwright! This is exactly how I envisaged the Actors Guild! Quote
Lalande Posted April 28, 2009 Posted April 28, 2009 Great Job Pedro and Waterbrick Down! I really like the way you used the historical information when making your MOC Pedro! Waterbrick Down, My favorite part of your MOC is the actor practicing his lines, but the whole thing is excellent! Go Alpha! Quote
Thrash Posted April 28, 2009 Posted April 28, 2009 Great Actor's Guild Waterbrick. The two giant helmet pieces worked really nicely for the actor symbol. The interior is well done as well. ~Thrash Quote
pedro Posted April 29, 2009 Posted April 29, 2009 Nice work Waterbrick! I love all your little details such as the playwrights coloured ink bottles, the table next to him with goblet and cheese, all the costumes in wardrobe and more! They all set the scene brilliantly Quote
Waterbrick Down Posted June 21, 2009 Posted June 21, 2009 O2 Back Gate Exterior shot, I wanted to have the entire module done in the new grey, but ran out of bricks towards the top of the wall so I had to supplement with the older color as well. Most of the wall design was based off of ICS's Barracks module. Interior shot, after I had finished the main portion of the module I ended up having a few regrets, first you'll notice the hunting party is heading the wrong direction to get to the keep the quickest way but I had already designed the stairs so the party would have been a bit smooshed. Second, I still question myself if the back gate should have had a portcullis but I would have had to redesign the entirety of the top of the wall (not something I looked forward to). So this is as it is. One of my personal favorite parts of the set, the Goblin Invasion Horde Surplus shop. The victorius hunting party has returned with the prize of their outing. However, I think the lord has another prize on his mind. That's all there is folks see the rest of the pics on brickshelf when moderated Next project is the wall under construction I think. Question, the Wall Under Siege module was still on the list to be completed but didn't *Jerry Man* submit that with his Cooper awhile back? Also, by the way, what exactly is the Lumberjack Lodge module? Quote
darkagent Posted June 21, 2009 Posted June 21, 2009 Very nice Back Gate build WD. I especially like the dead boar. Quote
I Scream Clone Posted June 21, 2009 Author Posted June 21, 2009 Great work WBD, a fantastic Back Gatehouse. I love the surplus shop, the dress, and the action overall. The wall has come out well, esp the staircase. We are back baby! CCB On! Quote
Thrash Posted June 22, 2009 Posted June 22, 2009 Great work Waterbrick down! The windows on the two turrets look really awesome, and so does the troll hut. Great job! ~Thrash Quote
