Posted April 27, 201410 yr When the inner sanctum of Albion was built, a man and his wife decided to build a stables to house the horses of all the nobles, dignitaries, ambassadors and jesters that came to visit. As time went on, bigger and better stables were built elsewhere, and their business slowed down considerably. However, due to the recent conflicts, business is picking up again, and the stables are usually full. On the corner of the building are some wandering priests. Like the Sparrows in GoT, they are urging all anointed knights to join together to drive the Drow out of Avalonia. It seems someone has gotten into the wine storage...

I'd been putting it off for a while. This was really fun to build, and I enjoyed it immensely. However, I'm glad to be done. This is plot 4 on the Albion map, but I can't seem to link to that. Anyways, C&C is welcome, and I'd like to request the following credits: Interior design City scene As always, more pictures on my Flickr.
April 27, 201410 yr I like it alot! Great to see interior as well! Some shutters for the open windows by the horses maybe? Could be cold when the Mitgardian breeze comes down! :)
April 27, 201410 yr Nice build. I might have centered those windows a little more though Oh and +1 UoP DoH for both claims Edited April 28, 201410 yr by Scaevola
April 27, 201410 yr This is looking really nice and I'd say it fits Albion really well. Maybe you should add some more vertical beams though.
April 28, 201410 yr This is a very pleasing structure, the layout is very well thought out. I do like the little rooftop courtyard, and the scene with the cat stalking the chickens is a nice touch too! (Nice to see the back of the build is not forgotten) You've got some great suggestions already about little things you can do to improve your build - i agree that the upstairs windows would look better centered (and perhaps given a windowsill?) and shutters on the horse stalls would look really cool. UoP +1 for the interior design and city life - great work on both of those!
April 28, 201410 yr Hey I like that you included interior also CH... Lovely! I like your ground texturing aswell!
April 29, 201410 yr +1 UP. Good integration of the wooden house into the rest of the MOC! As a tip, if you would be just a litte more careful with the sheet (or better yet, use paper), as you take the picture, and try to make sure it's smooth & covers the whole background (in the first picture, for example, a slight rotation of the MOC would allow you to keep the same angle but not see the dip of the sheet). You'd be amazed how much difference a nice clean background makes to a MOC - of course, since you built it, you know exactly what it looks like, but we don't, so the better the picture, the easier it is for us to see what you're MOC is really like. (Don't take this as meaning that your photography is bad or anything. It's much better than a lot of people's - including my own, often!)
April 29, 201410 yr Nice house and interior, one of the windows of the wood house is perhaps a little to close to the stone section (one row of tan perhaps would make the tree part of the house looked a bit less "chopped off" UoP +1 for the interior design and city life
April 30, 201410 yr Can any Historicans participate in this contest? If you're referring to the Albion plots, that's for Avalonians only. It's also more of a community build than a challenge, something like our Sultan's Gate.
April 30, 201410 yr Great moc, I really like the upstairs interior. Edited April 30, 201410 yr by Torgar
May 1, 201410 yr Excellent build Carson, I was not expecting a full interior on this. I like that you've added variation in a lot of the walls, and the interior is very well done. My only suggestion would be to perhaps add some 1x1 brown bricks between the windows on the 2nd floor, and the left of the left window as wood supports. This would break up the wall a little bit and make the off-centered windows look appropriate. Great job though! It's great to see more of Albion.
May 1, 201410 yr Excellent build, Carson. The layout and architecture look good and I really like that you included an interior Those stairs are a neat design. Was the bed inspired by my Daydelon houses?

I agree, now that I look at it I'm recognizing what didn't seem quite right when I built it. Great build, I really like the architecture! Thanks! Great moc, I really like the upstairs interior.
