Yes. I could see an outlaw faction of dwarves, trolls, or elves for example.

Ok, two quick questions, is the forest lair category strictly for outlaw faction style builds or is that just to describe what we should build for that category? And the second is if we can build something for a normal category with the baseplate requirements outside of strictly 48x48 or 32x64; as ...

It would be five pictures total. Fifteen pictures would take a long time to grade :wink

Thanks.

We will work on updating the events page. I am splitting this thread to move it out of the contest thread. Thanks.

I really like the From Field to Goblet category - I have a feeling we'll see some really clever builds coming from this category! We hope so too. Good job keeping one of the best castle contest going! well done everyone - big thanks to all organisers and contributors! Thank you. does the great wall...

The best time of year has officially begun :D Incredible categories this year! Thank you. For the From Field to Goblet category, are you supposed to make multiple builds each showing different stages in the process, or just a single creation showing multiple stages? If multiple builds, how many? 1....

Your picture turned out really well. I suspect the backgrounds were a type of poster board or cardstock that was spray painted.

Thanks,

I like the large keep and concentric walls that tie into the yellow castle. The basic green for grass and blue for the river remind me of the models built by LEGO model makers in the 1980's. It is also nice that you incorporated the knights tournament and knights procession sets. I also built a moc ...

Thank you for sharing this nice moc. The thatch roof looks great and I really like the slightly recessed wattle and daub panels. Are those set back 1/5th of a stud? Photographing small offsets like this can be difficult. I would be interested in viewing a few "under construction" pictures ...

While I am not a huge Harry Potter fan, I do appreciate a large well designed microscale castle. TLG is doing a good job adding the various HP related scenes in this set. I expect it to be very popular.

Hi Bruce, Thank you for sharing your thoughts on the new harry potter pieces. I agree that these will be great for castle. Fans have been waiting for years to get candle, flame, and a rectangular window lattice element. It would be nice to have the taller 2x3 lattice element in the future. The movea...

I will be there. Look for the Pirate collaboration or attend the castle / pirate microscale seminar.

Thanks,

Ben
