soccerkid6 Posted October 21, 2013 Posted October 21, 2013 This was built by my 11 year old brother. Conwy Castle is his largest build yet. Kendrick and his companions marched their captives to the nearest castle: The lord of the castle is entertained by the jester who is juggling some pies: The great hall and kitchen The stables: More pictures here: http://www.brickshel...ry.cgi?f=535252 He would appreciate any C&C Quote
gads Posted October 21, 2013 Posted October 21, 2013 Your brother have 11 years old and was able to build this gorgeous castle? That's awesome! Send my congratulations to your little brother :) I'll highlight the construction at HistoryBricks Quote
Nightstalker Posted October 21, 2013 Posted October 21, 2013 Tops anything I've built! Some more white in the water could help give the appearance of a moving river. It looks a bit too peaceful. Quote
Mr Breden Posted October 21, 2013 Posted October 21, 2013 Your Brother is very talented Soccerkid I love the color scheme! Quote
mpoh98 Posted October 21, 2013 Posted October 21, 2013 Wow...your brother is crazy talented! And he is only 11! I find that amazing. That castle is just fantastic, great shaping! I love the variation in heights level, it adds a lot to this creation! All the little details on the inside really add to this moc, and there are lots of great ones! I am really digging that tree in the pot, it looks great! Fantastic foliage and landscape work as well all around. His little stream is a lovely detail, and wraps this wonderful moc up! Well done!

dooberfloober Posted October 21, 2013 Posted October 21, 2013 psssh more like "I made this and want it to seem better than it's well-made self already is" nice moc though Quote
Gabe Posted October 22, 2013 Posted October 22, 2013 That's an awesome build for one so young! I really like all the different levels, it's a very attractive looking building. Do you guys build together a lot? Quote
Bob De Quatre Posted October 22, 2013 Posted October 22, 2013 The stable is larger than the great hall But again your brother did an incredible build for his age. I didn't know that talent is genetically transmitted Quote

Send my congratulations to your little brother :) I'll highlight the construction at HistoryBricks Thanks! When I showed him his build on the HistoryBricks it made his day Tops anything I've built! Some more white in the water could help give the appearance of a moving river. It looks a bit too peaceful. Thanks, and good suggestion for the water Your Brother is very talented Soccerkid I love the color scheme! Thank you, he really like to use tan and dark tan in his builds Wow...your brother is crazy talented! And he is only 11! I find that amazing. That castle is just fantastic, great shaping!

I am really digging that tree in the pot, it looks great! Fantastic foliage and landscape work as well all around. His little stream is a lovely detail, and wraps this wonderful moc up! Well done! Thanks Matthew! I'm looking forward to seeing what he builds in a couple years. psssh more like "I made this and want it to seem better than it's well-made self already is" nice moc though This was built by my little brother. Here is a picture of one of my builds: (picture is also a link to the builds topic) That's an awesome build for one so young! I really like all the different levels, it's a very attractive looking building. Do you guys build together a lot? Thanks Gabe. We don't usually work together on the same build. But we often are building at the same time, just each on our own build, so we do give each other a lot of feedback on builds as they're being built. I've been teaching him a lot of the stuff I learned in GoH The stable is larger than the great hall But again your brother did an incredible build for his age. I didn't know that talent is genetically transmitted Thank you, and as with most things starting young gives you a big advantage Edited August 30, 2015 by soccerkid6 Quote
Mutant Orc Posted October 22, 2013 Posted October 22, 2013 That's a good castle but I was misled by the name- Conwy is a town in Wales close to where I live that has a medieval castle built by the English King Edward the First, I think. It's built from stone and still stands. It's quite a nice walled town, I would recommend a visit if you've never been. Still- a good castle!! Quote
TenorPenny Posted October 22, 2013 Posted October 22, 2013 I particularly like the stables. Really well done..! Quote
WaysofSorting Posted October 22, 2013 Posted October 22, 2013 Very good. I was nowhere near this talented at 11. Or now, for that matter. My sense of "completeness" for a model is satisfied well before the level that you and your brother display in these builds is reached. I'm pretty happy as soon as there are walls and don't finish with all the superb detailing. That said, I really do appreciate the way your brother made a very playable looking castle. Hands can get in the areas and nothing looks fiddly or breakable. (We don't really talk about castles being swooshable, but I've seen plenty that look pretty but would fall apart if squeezed.) Are you two collaborating on anything larger? Quote

Are you two collaborating on anything larger? Thanks, and sturdiness/playability is one of the main things we try to incorporate into our builds. We aren't currently collaborating on anything, but we will definitely be doing some large collabs in the future (maybe even some in the near future) Quote
Mutant Orc Posted October 22, 2013 Posted October 22, 2013 (edited) Thanks, and indeed the name was 'borrowed' from a real castle It doesn't really matter, I just thought I'd tell you. I made a severe understatement earlier, I called it a "good" castle !!! So here is the correct word I should have used- BRILLIANT!!! Edited October 22, 2013 by Mutant Orc Quote
LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted October 22, 2013 Posted October 22, 2013 This is a stunning creation! Unbelievable talent from a child! Quote

IenjoyLego89 Posted October 24, 2013 Posted October 24, 2013 Wow! I like every detail of his build. Your brother puts anything I build to shame. On another note first post wooo! Quote
ZCerberus Posted October 24, 2013 Posted October 24, 2013 Oh little brother of Mitgardian wunderkind, you are also a wunderkind. Nice details and kudos to him for already discovering that asymmetry is the way to go. excellent build. I'll recruit him to Nocturnus before you know it. Quote

Thanks, and welcome to Eurobricks Oh little brother of Mitgardian wunderkind, you are also a wunderkind. Nice details and kudos to him for already discovering that asymmetry is the way to go. excellent build. I'll recruit him to Nocturnus before you know it. Thanks for the kind words, Z. You may have a little trouble recruiting him to Nocturnus though, I kind of like the idea of him joining Mitgardia Edited October 24, 2013 by soccerkid6 Quote
timmyc1983 Posted October 24, 2013 Posted October 24, 2013 Whoah, that is a million times better than anything I was capable of at 11 years old! Hell, it's better than what I'm capable now!!! I particularly like the interior details but the whole MOC is awesome Well done to your brother and happy building for you and him!! Quote

Trevor_F Posted October 31, 2013 Posted October 31, 2013 Wow, the fact that an 11 year old built this fills me both with praise for his work, and with humility. I can't imagine myself ever making something any better than this, much less in a time when many 11 year old boys are too busy playing Call of Duty to be creative. This should be a poster for what kids are capable of if they don't play violent games 5 hours a day! Excellent job! Quote
