mpoh98 Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 Category: 1. What has roots as nobody sees, is taller than trees, up, up it goes, and yet never grow? (Answer: Mountain) Here is my rushed into into the 2013-14 Middle Earth Lego Olympics. I am not entirely satisfied with this build, as I wanted to get more angles and detail, but time limits and life got in the way. :) So here it is, I used the answer to the category, "Mountain," to base my creation of off. Basically this castle lies behind a waterfall, in a mountain, hence the sloping rocks. It was also going to be my entry into the CCCXI Secret Hidout category, but I ran out of time on that one. :/ Sorry for the eh pictures, I was a bit rushed, and night pictures are always hard in my house. Thanks for viewing, and Enjoy! Soli Deo Gloria! ~Matthew~ Quote
Speedboat Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 That's a wonderful build, mpoh98! The rock techniques are very well executed and I really like the look of those watchtowers. Quote

jodawill Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 This is awesome. I like the idea of having a castle hidden behind the rocks. Where are those helmet pieces from? Quote
Bob De Quatre Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 Very nice! I really like the cuted rocks, that's not something you see in the front of a MOC, but it looks great! Quote

Infernum Posted January 7, 2014 Posted January 7, 2014 Great, especially for a speed build! I love the castle, in particular the wooden supports are great! Quote

The light blue and golden bricks on the outside look cool. Thanks! Haha, that was just the lighting, making it look those colors, they are just plain LBG, but thanks! :D Great, especially for a speed build! I love the castle, in particular the wooden supports are great! Thanks man! It was built over a period of 1 month, but I had to speed build most of it at the end, so I guess it is a speed build. :) Quote
Simon_S Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 Nice work Matthew! I somehow must have missed it, but it's definitely one of your better builds. I like how you used brown to break up the rock formations, and the wooden top of the castle also works great . Quote
Niku Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 Looks great, the base plate is eye catching, and the pattern and shape on the towers is very interesting. Quote
mpoh98 Posted January 10, 2014 Author Posted January 10, 2014 Those towers are really nice! Good job!! Thank you Ritsz! Nice work Matthew!

Luke Styer Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 It looks beautiful both as a fortress and as a diorama, which not everyone pulls off! Quote
TheLazyChicken Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 Wow, it looks amazing. It is just simply a great build! Quote

LegoEomer Posted October 30, 2015 Posted October 30, 2015 Nice castle. I like all those details. Quote
x105Black Posted October 30, 2015 Posted October 30, 2015 That's a great build with some very nice details. Your rocks looks wonderful. I really like the overall design of the castle itself with the stone and wood sections. Also, the fact that you went into such detail on the base of the build is a nice added bonus. I wish we could see more of the castle and the surrounding areas! Great work! Quote
dzidek1983 Posted October 30, 2015 Posted October 30, 2015 Good work on the fortress, nicely done with lots of details. I would add some more detail on the rocks. The structure is fine but it would benefit from a detail here and there to break the monotony. Quote
