castlestrike666 Posted October 27, 2008 Posted October 27, 2008 Second line of pictures made up to now. There's already finished more than that, but those parts are already packed... Dust, ya know :skull: ... Just hate it! Picturesssss Quote
Scouty Posted October 27, 2008 Posted October 27, 2008 Wow, beautiful architecture! Great job here! Quote
Dragonator Posted October 27, 2008 Posted October 27, 2008 That's looking really nice, keep it up! I can tell it's going to be a stunner once it's finished. I particularly like the roof on the tower, really nicely done. Quote
Teddy Posted October 27, 2008 Posted October 27, 2008 Dear Castlestike666, that is starting to look like an amazing MOC. I like the roof you've constucted on the tower. are you considering smoothing it up a bit by covering it with tiles? Personnaly, I'm not a big fan of studs on a roof like the new Taj Mahal. But thats just my personnal preference. So far, very good. Kind regards, Teddy Quote
Captain Zuloo Posted October 27, 2008 Posted October 27, 2008 Personnaly, I'm not a big fan of studs on a roof like the new Taj Mahal.I actually like that look, because that's how the LEGO model teams build. With studs. I think it is sort of like cheating in a really tiny way to use tiles? Never mind. Good tower mate! Quote
castlestrike666 Posted October 27, 2008 Author Posted October 27, 2008 are you considering smoothing it up a bit by covering it with tiles? I don't know yet. Now I've added a few brown plates 1x2 & 1x1 to get rid of that 'just dark grey' effect And I must say, I've been thinking to add some tiles too.. Not the whole roof, because then it would start to get too fat.. but just a few I'll see how it will look that way Quote

Dear Captain Zuloo, I am a little bit amazed you think a ligitimate building technique with 1960's lego bricks is cheating? That the model team doesn't use them is strange to me. The new beatle would look so much better without the studs. But thats just my personall opinion. Kind regards, Teddy I don't know yet.

I'm very curious how this effects the look of the roof. Kind regards, Teddy Quote
Dwarvenlord Posted October 27, 2008 Posted October 27, 2008 Awesome! I like the tower the best; it would look better with a spookier castle, i think, but it's still very nice! Quote
NewRight Posted November 1, 2008 Posted November 1, 2008 Great work! Every time I see a castle I am in awe and this is no exception. Quote
Matn Posted November 1, 2008 Posted November 1, 2008 It's really getting to look fantastic! I hope it will be ready for Mechelen so I can admire it. Quote
I Scream Clone Posted November 2, 2008 Posted November 2, 2008 Outstanding work so far! The wall looks nice but the tower seals the deal. Cant wait for the completion. Cheers Quote
RememberTheLittleGuy Posted November 3, 2008 Posted November 3, 2008 Great work!Every time I see a castle I am in awe and this is no exception. Exactly what I would have said. And 2 thumbs out for the MOC, nice work! Quote

I think it is sort of like cheating in a really tiny way to use tiles? Never mind. Good tower mate! While I've never been fussy about the overuse of studless design, I don't think 'cheating' is the right word to describe it. Every builder has their own unique style. For me, the mark of a great MOC isn't the specific techniques the builder applies but the appearance of the MOC itself. With the trend towards Studless design in all themes, I actually like seeing a well-constructed MOC that isn't afraid to show its studs. At the same time, there are some stunning studless wonders out there. Advanced techniques are definitely an asset when trying to create a great work (a large vocabulary of techniques never hurts), but a combination of great techniques can still come together to produce a lackluster work. At the end of the day, a fantastic MOC is always cohesive. This castle definitely has the early earmarks of such a work. In my opinion, this castle is coming along nicely. It has it's own feel, and it stands out from the crowd. That being said, I don't think the presence or absence of studs automatically makes a work better or worse. Personally, I quite like the tower roof the way it is. I'm not fussy on the mottling quite yet, but the tower roof is incredibly beautiful and the overall structure looks like it's going to be quite intriguing. This is definitely going to be nice when it is finished. Quote
