papercla Posted July 29, 2011 Posted July 29, 2011 (edited) Hi, this is my first MOC, I'm building it from july 2010 and it's not yet finished (there will be a village in front of the castle). I played only a little with Lego when I was a child, but one years ago I accidentally discovered the amazing creations achievable with Lego and I've nerver stopped to buy lego and to look everywhere on the web where I could find interesting ideas to build my medieval landscape. And here more photos: My brickshelf I hope to learn more from you and to have a great time here. Edited October 23, 2011 by TazManiac Indexed Quote
Toadtorrent Posted July 29, 2011 Posted July 29, 2011 Holy cow...this is incredible. I love the sculpting of the cliff face of the main castle...beautiful. Quote
Big Cam Posted July 29, 2011 Posted July 29, 2011 Fantastic! This is incredible, I was just in your intro thread, and I don't think you need any tips on MOC'ing at all. The foliage looks great and I simply love the castle, and the waterfall and the size! Fantastic work! Quote
frogstudio Posted July 29, 2011 Posted July 29, 2011 Simply AMAZING!!! Your castle is great and your landscaping better still!!!! Quote
rucorder Posted July 29, 2011 Posted July 29, 2011 Everything here is awesome! I really like your black and white tree(Can't think of the name at this moment) Quote
L-space Posted July 29, 2011 Posted July 29, 2011 Wonderfull work. The size of the Castle and still amazing details is incredible, truly inspiring. Love the trees too, great birch. Quote
mobricki Posted July 29, 2011 Posted July 29, 2011 I love the details this is amazing!! I like the waterfall too. Quote
lightningtiger Posted July 29, 2011 Posted July 29, 2011 Your first MOC is this totally AWESOME/WONDERFUL/FANTASTIC creation 'papercla' ? The detail in it.....well it's too much and it's not done with yet...a village is next....well then I now wait for your posting of that ! Brick On 'papercla' ! Quote
I Scream Clone Posted July 29, 2011 Posted July 29, 2011 Well this is a fantastic effort for a first MOC, I wish my first ones were this good as well as large The water looks lovely, the greenery on the castle walls gives an authentic look, the rock faces look great as does the small village island. How many pieces does it break down too for transport? Looks like only 2. Great stuff and we would love to see more. Quote
Hoboman Posted July 29, 2011 Posted July 29, 2011 I really love the color use on the towers. This castle is wonderful. Quote
papercla Posted July 30, 2011 Author Posted July 30, 2011 Thank you all. I saw all the impressive moc castle in the web and with my stubbornness I said to myself: "I want to build something like that too!". I took some measurement of a room and I decided the extent of the moc and than I began to project it. Of course this is the result of many attempt and many changes at the early buildings, here some photos of the old attempt My Mocpages. How many pieces does it break down too for transport? Looks like only 2. The transportation is the big problem of the moc but we succeeded in displaying it at two recent ITLUG event. There are 8 pieces: the waterfall, the lake, the castle can be split in three big pieces (not counting the upper part of the towers which are removable like in the photos on brickshelf), than three pieces for the islands (two for the right one and one for the left). If you're interested I can make a photo of the separated pieces. Quote
Vlad Posted July 30, 2011 Posted July 30, 2011 Fantastic! This is incredible! Great work papercla. Quote
Ecclesiastes Posted July 30, 2011 Posted July 30, 2011 That really looks epic! Nice first moc to show here! Quote
TheLegoDr Posted July 30, 2011 Posted July 30, 2011 I really like looking at that waterfall! But the entire castle is incredible for sure, especially the landscaping. Quote
Vindicare Posted July 31, 2011 Posted July 31, 2011 Wow,that is one awesome castle scene. The landscape is cool and that waterfall is the highlight to me. I can't wait to see the added village! Quote
Fonzy Posted July 31, 2011 Posted July 31, 2011 WOW, this is absolutely amazing. I really like the arches in the towers, the waterfall, the sheep, the rabbits and so many other little details. Looking forward to see the village in front. Quote
papercla Posted July 31, 2011 Author Posted July 31, 2011 Thank you all. Yesterday I've uploaded some more photos. It's a different setting in front of the castle displayed at a Lug event in july, and there are some changes at the rear of the castle to show the inner rooms. Here: Bolak Castle - July 2011 Quote
Captain BeerBeard Posted August 2, 2011 Posted August 2, 2011 (edited) Papercla, is the castle interior in your brickshelf folder titled "july 2011" for this castle? It looks so different. That is a sweet throne room. Edited August 2, 2011 by Captain BeerBeard Quote
papercla Posted August 2, 2011 Author Posted August 2, 2011 Papercla, is the castle interior in your brickshelf folder titled "july 2011" for this castle? It looks so different. That is a sweet throne room. Yes, they are in this castle, the throne room and some other weren't finished in the june esposition but now they are. There are some other room not yet completed. Quote
Angeli Posted August 3, 2011 Posted August 3, 2011 beautifull castle. tell us something more about making, playing with it etc :) Quote
blueandwhite Posted August 3, 2011 Posted August 3, 2011 It's always nice to see a castle with a proper interior. It really gives the structure a sense of purpose that you don't see in many MOCs. A number of small details in the landscaping also stand out such as the fish jumping or the prince and princess in the rowboat. The extensive use of trans-blue and trans-clear cheese slopes to make ripples in the water works particularly well. Great work! I hope we'll be seeing more MOCs like this in the future. Quote
KristofBD Posted August 3, 2011 Posted August 3, 2011 Excellent MOC! There's a few clever building techniques in there, but I like the overall atmosphere the most. The picture fits and feels very much alive. Good job! Quote
Beefbanana Posted August 6, 2011 Posted August 6, 2011 (edited) Is this really your first MOC? Because its amazing! My first Moc certainly wasn't as good as that. Edited August 6, 2011 by Beefbanana Quote
papercla Posted August 6, 2011 Author Posted August 6, 2011 Is this really your first MOC? Because its amazing! My first Moc certainly wasn't as good as that. Yes, it's really the first MOC. But before and during building (and even now) I was looking every castle/medieval MOC and advices ever posted in the web, trying to reverse engineering the technique I was seeing. So this MOC is thanks to all previous Lego builder who shared their creations. Quote
Hartfan Posted August 7, 2011 Posted August 7, 2011 Simply amazing. I love details. Can't wait to see Your second and third and so... MOCs :D Quote
