Fantastic job everywhere! I like the eclectic medieval building placement and different textures across the structures! You just earned another follower on Flickr.

I usually take my inspiration from architecture I photograph while on vacations. It's so easy to photograph architectural features but getting time to recreate them all in bricks is the problem. I also love reading classic books. They often have beautiful descriptions of ornate rooms, blissful or wa...

I had no clue either.

I guess I've never had a long project like that with Legos where I've added on as I go. Once I complete a build I don't really modify anything- hardly even moving a minifigure position.

Thank you both for the perspectives. I'm hoping Lego's leaning towards adults leads to an expansion of lug programs in the coming years as my 'local' one is close to 4 hours away.
Oh, and I'm hoping for nostalgic castle sets, or any castle sets for that matter.

Hi everyone! I’d like to open up a discussion about something I’ve been noticing the last couple of months. I officially became an AFOL a few years ago so I’m not sure if I’m only noticing it now, a sort of confirmation bias, or if it’s real. I’ve been thinking Lego has been targeting adults a lot m...

Same here about not usually including one- if I do get an interior in my castles it is very small and I have to limit it to essentials. The armory with stocks of weapons is always first. :wink: After that I like to include a sort of kitchen with food stores and maybe sleeping quarters. I appreciate ...

Whoops I'm late. I prefer to give my soldiers spears when I can but don't care for the solid color ones. I think the Lord of the Rings spears are the best and actually look realistic. The LoTR swords are a close second, though, and much more common so I often end up using those. Of course, if someon...

Well done everyone! I want to again say how much I like the use of the old falcon with the hunter peasant.

Great idea to spark more activity! I've never thought much about what I'd put into a village scene as I always seem to lean toward building the fortress. :spin: I'd probably want to make sure I include a church, shoemaker, barrel maker, butcher, and all variety of shops. Those would mostly be depend...

Excellent job throughout. I especially like your peasant hunter with the old style of bird. I never thought they looked quite right but you proved me wrong!
