The Grand Joust of Gisellicburg

Post by Mark of Falworth »

This is a collaborative build by myself and my real-life Brother Steven.

Twas built as the final scene in our first book in our series, THE ANSELM SAGA, part 1 "The Envoy"

Well, we were both very happy with how this one turned out! At 128 x 80 studs it the biggest build we've ever made! (In total area.)

We hope you guys like it!

Excellent work Mark and Steven! I love this every bit of this build. Creative use of the checkered tiles as backgrounds and a great sense of overall action with the riders and crowd. Keep up the awesome work you two! :)

Happy Building,

Beautiful scene you have here really full of detail. You don't see very many jousting scenes. Well done.

This is the best joust scene build I can recall seeing. (Is that a backhanded way of challenging someone to do even better? maybe :D ) The overall size combines with the attention to details to make a really lively and realistic scene. The kind of thing that should be in a store display or something. The eyes of children and AFOLs alike would bug out. Wish I had such creative vision.

As always, a fantastic creation of such a large caliber. The little details here and there really make it exceptional, though.

Looking forward to see where this project is going, and I'll have to check out the Envoy. :)

Awesome job to the both of you. I like the tents a lot. It's cool to see some familiar factions present among the joust participants.
