I like the first knight - the color scheme goes very well. From the side, your use of the classic cape on the second knight looks excellent. However, from the front it looks a little like..... two capes stuck between the legs and the torso. Maybe it looks better in real life when not magnified by th...

I was pretty certain it was that armor, I just wanted to see how it went with the rest of the fig. Oh well, that's ok.

For the roof, maybe you could try reworking it a bit and using 3x3 corner slopes.

Nice work! Good job on the road and the rubble especially. I like the billboard. Are those weapons customs or are they from the newer town/police line?

Excellent! Very dismal looking. I love you use of fire and the 2x2 round plates. Also, your beasts are amazing! Could you post closeups of your winged beasts - I'd like to see how they're made.

Thanks,

Very nice MOC! I'll comment in depth later when I have time, but for now, a quick question: do you have any pictures of the red-armored knight from the front (he's one of the two guys standing in front of the grave)? That red armor seems to go well with the Royal Knights color theme, but I'm curious...

Interesting....I am not a fan of the Jelly-Bean armor, but you make the purple stuff look plausible. Good job. The color scheme works very well.

Great work!

The viking helm works very well on Thor, but I think his hammer is a bit to square and blockish. The steps on Atlas are very nice indeed - nice use of the wings. Am I correct that you turned the dragon thingies backward to attach them to the viking helm? Very convincing.

Thanks for the welcomes, guys! Yes, dark ages are no fun (LEGO-wise, at least) and it is very good to be back.

Of course I want to pay for it. I would gladly return some of the goodness Kevin has done for us. What I'm troubled about is the payment type - I'd rather just pay a single big sum than continuous payments. I actually think that small monthly amounts is better than one large sum. Whether you pay $5...

I'll probably keep everything until I run out of hard drive space, then delete all but the really good ones. I also might start downloading new Brickshelf folders that I really like.

Looks cool... and realistic (which is always nice). Nice use of the gold dragon head. I also like the barrels for crossbeams.

Great job!

Cool! I wonder what the mountain is made out of - paper mache, maybe? It looks cool, but I don't think it goes very well with LEGO. Perhaps some baseplate incorporated into the flat parts might help this. I love these windows and these arrow slits . Good use of the new 1x1 slopes. The brown log piec...

That's a good point. Many were so upset that Brickshelf was going down - now lets just be thankful that it's not! After all, while some can't afford $60/year, many can. In fact, for anyone working eight-hour days at only $9.00/hour, $60/year isn't even a full day's work!
