Aliencat Posted August 20, 2009 Posted August 20, 2009 This is an entry for a challenge at Classic-Castle where some of the people used to building big castles were challenge to build a castle on a 32x32 baseplate (note: a castle, not a medieval house or something like that). At first I thought, "oh 32x32 is nothing, I'll just sit down for an evening and see what I come up with", but it turned out to be very hard for me to fit everything I wanted to add onto a 32x32 baseplate, but I'm happy with the result :) Brickshelf folder with all the photos.

Ezechielle Posted August 20, 2009 Posted August 20, 2009 Really like your work, and this is a masterpiece! Quote
I Scream Clone Posted August 20, 2009 Posted August 20, 2009 A creative use of space and angles has hidden the small nature of the 32 square baseplate and allowed focus to fall primarily on to the masterpiece you have created Aliencat! I like the angled nature of the towers and the round wall is a nice touch. I also approve of the use of sand green and tan highlights on the walls, like most of your castles I have seen. It helps highlight the moss and quality of stone available as well as wear and tear to the facade over the years, bravo! Quote
Rick Posted August 21, 2009 Posted August 21, 2009 It's tiny! I saw it this morning on Brickshelf and from the thumbnail image it was immediately recognizable as one of your creations. I see you didn't forget about your signature place-at-least-one-thing-in-at-an-angle. Great work again! Quote
kris kelvin Posted August 21, 2009 Posted August 21, 2009 As always fantastic work Alien :) It1s very difficult to make castle on such small square, and you did it right Quote
Lockt Posted August 21, 2009 Posted August 21, 2009 Again a beautiful masterpiece Alien! Although there are many things to praise on this I want to emphasize two items I really like about this MOC: - Like before, you often build structures from the late medieval period, so when gunpowder is introduced in the form of bombards but still the "knighthood" is applicable. I like that period and it produced most mature medieval castles. You picture that very well in this (and many of your) MOCs - The use of light green to make the walls more realistic. This colour I haven't seen before (at least didn't notice it), but it is a very nice idea and very fitting to make your walls more detailed. Thank you again for a nice MOCs for us to drewl on ;-) Quote
BlueBard Posted August 21, 2009 Posted August 21, 2009 Wonderful and detailed castle MOC in such a reduced place (for a castle ) Quote
Fluyt Posted August 21, 2009 Posted August 21, 2009 This is an amazing moc. Despite being "small", because of the creative use of space it actually looks much bigger than 32x32. You build truly stunning castles Quote
UsernameMDM Posted August 21, 2009 Posted August 21, 2009 Love the color and texture mix. Also like your use of hinges to have angled walls. Quote
Paul cantu Posted August 21, 2009 Posted August 21, 2009 Spectacular! I really am amazed at how you built such a great castle on such a small baseplate. I really like how you incorperated the tan and green bricks. The red windows are easy to have and they don't look out of place on the castle. I also like the diagonal building that connects to the tower, it looks fantastic. Good luck with the challenge. Quote
ziljin Posted August 21, 2009 Posted August 21, 2009 Amazing castle. About the tan/green bricks. I am assuming you added them to stop it from being too mono colored. How did you determine what color would go well with the castle? Quote
Wout Posted August 21, 2009 Posted August 21, 2009 Great moc! And it's indeed tiny for your mocs. Good luck! Quote
