KristofBD Posted September 26, 2011 Posted September 26, 2011 Those windows are very clever! I always love it when people push their bricks to the limit!
RedGiant Posted September 27, 2011 Posted September 27, 2011 Great build, this will be amazing! The ivy and the well are really nice!
weltall1028 Posted September 29, 2011 Posted September 29, 2011 Wow! This is amazing! I would love to do something this large myself, but am short by about 30,000 bricks. Can't wait for the next pics!
maydayartist Posted September 30, 2011 Author Posted September 30, 2011 Hello friends my last update is over two weeks ago. And the new starts without any new building or something like that It is more a change to a completely new layout, a snow covered layout. Chapter 5 and some spaces around them get a white cover. It is very hard to think on a winter place at the end of summer where the temperatures are not really freezing. This is for a (only german?) Lego competition to present the new winter post office. I have asked if it is ok to present this now to you and it is, but the pictures here are not exactly the same. I changed the medieval layout to a present one. It is a very typical christmas market for our country and especially for the area I live. Some changes are need for a realistic view. I have removed the well, the open flames, the blacksmith tools and changed some tree places. After all my plan was to do a little bit digital rendering on some of the lights but the time was running out, so the pictures are all original. And here they are. Now the sun has to to her best to give us back the green landscape good night Phil
Niku Posted September 30, 2011 Posted September 30, 2011 And is also multipurpose. More actualizations please.
legobodgers Posted October 1, 2011 Posted October 1, 2011 (edited) Lovely modification although I prefer the original, done like this it fits in perfectly with the current winter village sets. EDIT: I can't spell Edited December 1, 2011 by legobodgers
Brickdoctor Posted October 1, 2011 Posted October 1, 2011 Personally, I've always loved snowy MOCs. Probably because I don't live in an area where it snows. In any case, It's a lovely update.
Skipper Posted October 1, 2011 Posted October 1, 2011 Beautiful. I love the atmosphere in these pics, gets me in the holiday spirit months early.
Abu Dun Posted October 13, 2011 Posted October 13, 2011 Rearranging the existing village into a christmas market works exceedingly well. I, for one, wouldn't mind having the finished landscape in a wintery outfit in addition to the spring or summer one. Changing it according to the seasons, with e.g. a partially frozen river for winter, blossoming flowers for spring and decaying leaves for autumn may add the ultimate finish and set this already amazing piece of art on the very top of large-scale MOCs. That being said, what are you currently building? Another house for the village or have you started on the castle?
Muf-Muf Posted October 26, 2011 Posted October 26, 2011 The snow works really good, although I must say I prefered the original. You did a wonderful job on it though! :D
I Scream Clone Posted October 26, 2011 Posted October 26, 2011 Great job on the seasonal update Phil, looks fantastic in the village square
Vindicare Posted October 27, 2011 Posted October 27, 2011 I hope you haven't abandoned the medieval display. However, this is a nice MOD to your current display, a fun little get together for the holidays!
supersympa Posted November 1, 2011 Posted November 1, 2011 idem, cannot wait for the next update (the final one?)

However, this is a nice MOD to your current display, a fun little get together for the holidays! idem, cannot wait for the next update (the final one?) Hello again first I have to say, no this project isn't abandoned, but the next update will not be the final one. Sorry My problem is that we have to do a lot of extra work on my workplace since two month. And the other problem is that I have bought a lot of new Lego on ebay and I have to control and collect them all. So my Lego room looks like an testfield for rockets and bombs My girlfriend and me have cleaned it up today so I can return to the project the next days. I have also a good and a bad news for you. The bad, it will take more time as I planed, the good, this is because of a planned enlargement of 16 studs on the long side. On chapter three a farm is planned and there are only two options, a half building (I hate doing this) or a bigger place to build this on. And I have to say sorry once more to all the ungiven answers, but I don't want that everybody get an e-mail only to read that nothing new is done. So I have a little pic for you showing a start of a new building for the village. As you can see it has a white plate. This is out of my winter market update that based on present time. And that's the actual problem. The design is not really medieval, so I have to change this into an old version. But the really difficult part of this isn't the house, it is the little quarter round stair in front of it. It is all build by myself with normal bricks and not the easy way with the Harry Potter set staircase. And this will be the next to updates, one little house for the village and the farm on the other side of the river. I try my best to update this in the near future. so long Phil
Vindicare Posted November 2, 2011 Posted November 2, 2011 Good start on the building. I'm looking forward to the progress.
Evil Stu Posted November 3, 2011 Posted November 3, 2011 Just wanted to join the chorus of people praising all of your hard work and efforts with this wonderful project. What you have done so far looks amazing and the possibility of how incredibly grand your completed landscape might be is just doing my poor head in at the moment. Very much looking forward to further updates when you have an opportunity. Also, thank you for the time you are taking to clarify and explain the techniques which you are using for the benefit of the less experienced landscape builders. Your tips are greatly appreciated!
streeker Posted November 30, 2011 Posted November 30, 2011 I'm going to sound like a jilted fool, and yes, this is my first post to you, but where have you been? I know you wrote "so long" in your last update, but it has been 28 days so long. I'm certain I speak for many here when I say we're waiting with bated breath for your next master creation. Or have you been scouted by LEGO?
JacksonRemus Posted November 30, 2011 Posted November 30, 2011 My mind = Blown! I was lost at the part where you said lego room, am I correct in understanding that you have devoted an entire room of a house to lego, because that is somewhat expansive and awesome!!!
Palathadric Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 Do you think you could create a new topic where you post all of you past pictures and updates and where people do not post comments so that it would be easy to download in an mhtml document? That would be nice. Like Derfel Cadarn's "Detailed guide to building a medieval village".

Palathadric Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 That's what I said. It would be nice, wouldn't it?
