Teh Stud Posted December 19, 2012 Posted December 19, 2012 good news I think, will look even better with a more genital slope to the ramp, I guess this is the reason you need to extend? Don't you think a genital slope will be a little out of place? Such a vulgar build would prevent showing this where kids will be present. ;) Ok, back on topic. The pine tree is great. The new house is amazing. Love the use of brick bricks on the foundation. The roof made of cheese slopes is gorgeous, and I like the clever use of ice cream for smoke! lol

harton Posted December 19, 2012 Posted December 19, 2012 I really think that round tower at the edge of that house is really clever, it is interesting because it is really some uncommon construction. Well done. I may suggest you to add some stables to your carriage house and effectively that pine tree technique is quite interesting. I also like your roof technique which is as I can see different of what you have made so far, can you show us how you made it? Your staires are so great the increasement of it is well done as the really bricks / stone effect, one of my favorite. I hope to see more.
Palathadric Posted December 19, 2012 Posted December 19, 2012 This house is too brilliant (or rather the creator is ) Just wondering, what pieces did you use for the wall? They aren't regular plates, are they? I love the stairs and the vines on the wall. The little round "tower" also looks great!
maydayartist Posted December 21, 2012 Author Posted December 21, 2012 I have continue building on my castle. Here is one teaser for you. The construction zone is once and for all gone ;)
soccerkid6 Posted December 21, 2012 Posted December 21, 2012 Incredible pine tree and the carriage house is stunning Looking forward to the new sections
kibosh Posted December 21, 2012 Posted December 21, 2012 (edited) That really is a beautiful shot. I'd love to see another picture taken from this perspective when the castle is completed. Has a really ominous feeling to it. Edited December 27, 2012 by ZCerberus No need to quote a picture.
Flea Posted December 21, 2012 Posted December 21, 2012 tell me. do you ever take a part MOCs that are this big? I curious because, it's sound like a pain in the... great WIP ;)

Has a really ominous feeling to it. You mean this one? Ok the Gatehouse is still missing but the rest is fine. tell me. do you ever take a part MOCs that are this big? I curious because, it's sound like a pain in the... great WIP ;) Something like that? Off course :D no problem for me
kabel Posted December 21, 2012 Posted December 21, 2012 awesome stuff mayday, just can't stop looking at it! One day I wil build something big too .... *dreams*
Redhead1982 Posted December 22, 2012 Posted December 22, 2012 The last house you made looks beautiful. The whole diorama is amazing, and I like finding small details that impress me.
Palathadric Posted December 23, 2012 Posted December 23, 2012 What's truly impressive is not the size, but how intricate it all is. Everything seems laid out with the utmost preciseness. Your patience is quite outstanding!
maydayartist Posted December 27, 2012 Author Posted December 27, 2012 Updatepicture The gatetower was done three times to find the right design. When all its done I will show you pictures of them. Phil
kibosh Posted December 27, 2012 Posted December 27, 2012 (edited) Yes! Can't wait to see the finished gatehouse. Excellent work on everything! You mean this one? Ok the Gatehouse is still missing but the rest is fine. Edited December 28, 2012 by kibosh
maydayartist Posted December 27, 2012 Author Posted December 27, 2012 Hey kibosh, thanks for your feedback but it is better not to quote pictures. Your other quote is edited by Z. You should edit the last too. Phil
PenPlays Posted December 27, 2012 Posted December 27, 2012 Looking wonderful MayDay! Also kibosh, you need to remember to edit photos out of quoted posts. You can then replace them with "*snip*" when you have.
Vader X Posted December 30, 2012 Posted December 30, 2012 Have been watching this progress since nearly the beginning. I love how you just keep on growing with new chapters and improving the existing chapters with new techniques and new parts. This layout has inspired my builds in so may ways! Just so great! Good job on keeping up with new additions. Just keeps getting better! Keep up the fantastic work!
Palathadric Posted December 30, 2012 Posted December 30, 2012 Yes, this and Derfel Cadarn's "Detailed Guide to Building a Medieval Village" have helped me tremendously in my MOCing. Thanks for your inspiration!
Phazon Posted December 31, 2012 Posted December 31, 2012 The gate is looks great already, I can't wait to see the full castle taking shape!
jimmynick Posted December 31, 2012 Posted December 31, 2012 The cheese slope roof on the carriage house looks gorgeous! That, as well as the walls made of brick-bricks make the building very believable to look at. I also love the ivy crawling down the crag on which the castle sits. I look forward to seeing the castle complete. Great job, maydayartist!
maydayartist Posted January 16, 2013 Author Posted January 16, 2013 Big update!! The castle is done. Most of it was finished at end of 2012 for the CCCX. But the upper castle yard wasn't. Now all of it is done and connected to the other chapters. I have made many pictures to show every detail. Now the last missing part is the ramp. But the whole layout will be new on a new chapter (like I said before) Let's have a look That's it for now Phil And off course, a picture from the whole setup Done at night, that is the reason for the bad light. i will do better later
PenPlays Posted January 16, 2013 Posted January 16, 2013 ... I'm speechless. It's so amazing! I can't wait for more!
soccerkid6 Posted January 17, 2013 Posted January 17, 2013 One of the best castle layouts ever The castle fits perfectly on its hill, it really dominates the countryside Superb work throughout, especially with all the round/octagonal towers and angles. Only nitpick I have is the stain glass windows in the gatehouse, seems arrow slits would be more appropriate there. You don't have a Flickr do you? I'd love to see a pic or two there so I could favorite them
