Gabe Posted October 31, 2013 Posted October 31, 2013 Wow what a stunning display! Your castle is beautiful and i really like the town at the other end as well. 'Tis a layout to be proud of for sure. Quote
Gideon Posted November 6, 2013 Author Posted November 6, 2013 amazing, i love the treesin the second picture I am not sure what to say about this except that it is awesome! Wow what a stunning display! Your castle is beautiful and i really like the town at the other end as well. 'Tis a layout to be proud of for sure. Awesome project Gideon, everything looks so nice and tasteful, quite a thing to admire. I just wish I knew some people living nearby I could cooperate with! Thanks! Kabel, we are not living nearby each other...indeed it is more than 600 km from where I live to the farthest away builder in this project. This was the first time any of these modules were in the same room, but we apparently did a good enough job in our forum coordinating this We found out however that technic pins are not strong enough to keep the modules together, we had to add plates on the joints to force the modules together. Many pins at the same time are are also really hard to align when connecting the modules. Next time we display this (hopefully at Lego World 2014 in Copenhagen in February if we get accepted there, anyone else going there btw?? ) we will put the modules together with axle pins in "pin holes" just for alignment and then use plates to keep the modules together.

kabel Posted November 6, 2013 Posted November 6, 2013 hah, interesting to hear that the pins don't work really well. I'm currently experiencing the same thing with my Thorhaven moc, were sometimes I really have to use quite some force to get the modules snapping into each other. Interesting idea on how to solve this! gee, 600 km is a long way! I'll be going 400 km to Antwerpen this weekend, and see if the things dm and I planned work out Quote
Gideon Posted November 6, 2013 Author Posted November 6, 2013 The problem with the pins are the flanges at the end, which can easily jam at the small groove at the edge of the technic hole. With a axle pin in a round hole it will not jam at all, but then as I described above you will of course need something else holding the modules together...but as that is needed anyway I think the axle pin is the better choice Good luck with your and DM's collab! Looking forward to pictures! Quote
Hive Posted November 7, 2013 Posted November 7, 2013 This is just fantastic. I wish I could build as grand as this. +1 Simply amazing. A real joy to behold. It's what all us castle builders strive for. Quote
Csacsa234 Posted November 7, 2013 Posted November 7, 2013 Beautiful layout! The castles are really beautiful and the small details makes the display very awesome! I'm jealous Quote
