PenPlays Posted December 7, 2012 Posted December 7, 2012 (edited) All of the minifigures without visible flesh necks on their torsos are useful without their heads and arms, if you are pro-yellow. I think they're all pretty good (except for Riddles for the Ring, which is underwhelming). I'm just going to wait and see what goes on sale. If you are MOCing large rocks... All of the LotR/Hobbit sets are fantastic for GoH MOCing (Hobbit more-so). With this post, I must say, it's been quite a good KNIGHT! Edited December 7, 2012 by Penkid11
Legonardo Posted December 7, 2012 Posted December 7, 2012 you know when you build something but you don't find it good and build something else? in the last fortnight I have built 3 creations that are true to that. I also built some sci-fi but that isn't really guild-related...at all. ~Legonardo
C.J.Cutrone9 Posted December 8, 2012 Posted December 8, 2012 Well, it turns out that my B-day was 5 days ago, got some cash and sets, and now I am ordering the parts for a super duper secret Lego project! Kinda Avalonia related, kinda LOTR inspired, all 100% based on a story written by me. should be a nice build revealed at BF AL if I finish in time.......
PenPlays Posted December 8, 2012 Posted December 8, 2012 I also built some sci-fi but that isn't really guild-related...at all. ~Susan Jr. That, doesn't mean we don't want to see it.
Legonardo Posted December 17, 2012 Posted December 17, 2012 (edited) This. Took. Forever. here is the long awaited Official Avalonia Map! I hope I've missed out no-one, dreadfully sorry if I have, I can't find the thread for it. front-page update time! Edited December 17, 2012 by Legonardo
NiceMarmot Posted December 17, 2012 Posted December 17, 2012 This. Took. Forever. here is the long awaited Official Avalonia Map! I hope I've missed out no-one, dreadfully sorry if I have, I can't find the thread for it. That looks great! Really fabulous work. Love the antique look and the border. I'm too lazy right now to try to decipher the border, but maybe will take a crack at it tomorrow (unless someone just wants to post it). It must have taken forever to hand draw all those shoreline waves!

It must have taken forever to hand draw all those shoreline waves! tell the truth, the runes are mainly jiberish (didn't want to spoil the fun but I figured it might save you an hour or so) there is made by david, by legonardo and trolololo in there though! here is the High res version for those with big screens. each wave, mountain and tree was individuality drawn, I think its fair to say I've had enough of photoshop for a while Edited December 17, 2012 by Legonardo
MikeyB Posted December 17, 2012 Posted December 17, 2012 nice map Legonardo! As someone who has dabbled at making maps, i can appreciate all the effort that went into this.
Infernum Posted December 17, 2012 Posted December 17, 2012 I love that map! Looks very much like a map you would see in LOTR! Nice job!
de Gothia Posted December 19, 2012 Posted December 19, 2012 That map is top notch LD! It feels so old and so much like an Avalonian map! Any special reason why you removed the county borders? To blurry?
Legonardo Posted December 19, 2012 Posted December 19, 2012 thanks all! Any special reason why you removed the county borders? To blurry? I would have kept them if there were only 3 or 4, btu there are so many that they took away the authentic look.
de Gothia Posted December 19, 2012 Posted December 19, 2012 Ah, I see! Great choice then! How is everyone else doing? The forum is quite silence these days... I´m just getting better from a nasty stumach flu but now I will be more active!
Captain BeerBeard Posted December 20, 2012 Posted December 20, 2012 @LD That's a really nice map! I should be back to posting soon. I had some serious problems that needed fixing. Everything's good now.
Derfel Cadarn Posted December 20, 2012 Author Posted December 20, 2012 Awesome map LD, looks perfect!
PenPlays Posted December 21, 2012 Posted December 21, 2012 Love the map Susan Jr. I'm so pleased to see Burrium official in all of its miniscule glory! Also a congratulations to the mighty Susan Zr.:The apparently naughty Challenge V Winner for Avalonia! Wonderful job Ch V entrants.
Rogue Angel Posted December 21, 2012 Posted December 21, 2012 Looks like we're firing on all cylinders again with DC and BB back! Legonardo - that is a beautiful map! I don't envy the amount of time you had to put into it - I tried my hand at it, and failed miserably. We haven't been seeing many title builds for Avalonia lately. I keep putting mine off, but I'm going to have to get going so I can finish up most of them before Challenge VI ends. Anyone else going to be completing any of these? I know some of you have most of them completed already.

Legonardo Posted December 21, 2012 Posted December 21, 2012 (edited) i have all of them apart from the agriculture one, which I will do, I just don't have the foliage to do so... yet and I fret about doing the whole farm being sown sort of thing as I did that in my challenge 4 also speaking of titles, I know bonus titles aren't supposed to be asked for, but is it possible i get the cartography one? EDIT: black and white horses in the Lone ranger! (+ more brown ones!) Edited December 21, 2012 by Legonardo
MikeyB Posted December 21, 2012 Posted December 21, 2012 The only avalonia challenge I have left is the King of the Castle one. I have an idea but I've been busy the last few weeks and not had as much time as I would like to devote to it. I also had my oldest daughter want me to build her a little red ridding hood scene so I have been piddling around with that. I have a couple other builds I want to do, both in Circardia and Varlyrio, but again time is limiting me right now.
Captain Blackmoor Posted December 26, 2012 Posted December 26, 2012 I have the A.T.C. warehouse on the edge of completion, but as it has a strong defence it can almost count as a castle with a warehouse inside it. It almost looks like this..
Ecclesiastes Posted December 26, 2012 Posted December 26, 2012 That looks impressive. Is it an existing fortress?
Captain Blackmoor Posted December 26, 2012 Posted December 26, 2012 The picture shows the Bastille in Paris, before the French revolution. The warehouse however consists of the same kind stone defence towers, but wooden walls seperating them. And it's not surrounded by water, and it's slightly higher. Still, there is some work to be done!
C.J.Cutrone9 Posted December 27, 2012 Posted December 27, 2012 Well, my super secret project is almost complete... Not sure what to do with it though, wait to post pictures of it till after BF, or post the pictures ASAP. What do you guys think?
