sealslip3 Posted April 17, 2013 Posted April 17, 2013 (edited) Hi All, I'm planning a castle MOC, and I've been thinking about what kinds of details I can add to the interior of the castle. I'd like to give it a detailed interior instead of simply focusing on the architecture. So, I've posted a list of some rooms and features that I think would look good in a castle MOC, and I thought it would be nice to gather ideas from the community as well. Hopefully we can come up with a good list of ideas! Rooms: Great Hall: Throne, tables, chairs, banners, torches, statues, wall decorations Armory: Extra weaponry, forge Library: Bookshelves, maps Kitchen: Oven, kitchenware, food Quarters: Beds, chests, storage Stables: Horses, riding equipment, other animals Chapel: Windows, benches Cells: Chains, skeletons, rats Any other ideas would be greatly appreciated! EDIT: I forgot to mention this site: http://www.classic-c...o/articles.html It has a lot of useful information on this topic. In particular, the article "Medieval Interiors" has some nice examples of castle interiors. Edited April 17, 2013 by sealslip3 Quote
Eggyslav Posted April 17, 2013 Posted April 17, 2013 I think you forgot about an important thing in the chapel: An Altar, and maybe a desktop for priest to read holy books during a sermon. Maybe you would want to add a tomb, ot two in the chapel... I'd also would put some torture devices (like torture rack, Gibbet, decapitation block) to the dungeon... If there would be maidens' room, I would suggest putting a loom, or spinning wheel in it. If it's going to be a fantasy castle, how about court wizard's or alchemist's laboratory? With bookshelfs, crystal orbs, desks with bottles, a cauldron, or telescope... Quote

sealslip3 Posted April 18, 2013 Author Posted April 18, 2013 I am confused. Are looking for ideas, or telling what you are making. A little of both. I listed some ideas that I've already come up with, but I'm also looking for ideas from others. Very nice throne room! Quote

jimmynick Posted April 19, 2013 Posted April 19, 2013 (edited) Maybe you could make an oubliette for your castle . A kitchen could stand to have some wine barrels, beds in the chambers should probably have four posts and drapes, you know. If you want some more inspiration, I recommend you check out Stephen Biesty's Incredible Cross-Sections and Castle by David Macaulay. They were very helpful when I built a castle out of foamcore and card a number of years ago. Mind you, not a very good castle, but the books were helpful nonetheless.
