The Village of White Lilies

Post by Adolfo »

Hello, fellow castlers!

I built this MOC for a contest in LUG Brasil. We had to create a medieval village using until 4 standard baseplates (32x32) and I choiced work only with one to practice a little bit in this kind of construction, since I love big MOCs and have more experience on that.

It's the first time I participate of a challenge concerning LEGO and also is my first MOC established itself as AFOL. Until today I had only done reproductions of historic buildings and European castles, under a perspective more focused on the concept of reproduction with LEGO, which I feel totally different when we created things from our head, as is the case with this MOC. I think the last time I did something like that, using my imagination, was when I was a kid! I must confess that I liked the final result.

It’s very funny participate of this kind of contests, like Guilds of Historica from Eurobricks and others (here in LUG Brasil we have ours and the name of the project is “Realms of Argos”) because it’s a very good way to enjoy the hobby, relax a bit during our free time and a excellent opportunity to improve our techniques, rediscovering the use of bricks of our collection and have fun in LEGO castle theme and similar, going deep in a fantasy and beautiful world.

Bellow, you can check some pictures of this MOC and for other better views of details you can access my Flickr profile. Enjoy it!

This is a lovely build. It has a very Disney fairy tale like aspect to it that I like for some reason.

Very nice build! I like the concept of lilies! :)
The central pathway is nice and I really love the hanging flowers from the windows. Nice cobblestone wall as well.
Keep it up!

Happy Building,

Thank you all for the comments! It's always a very good feed back for our AFOL's life.
It was a surprise for me realize that many people saw the MOC like classic/Disney fairy tale style. Maybe the roof effect, with black slopes, a classic really, was the responsable for that. It was not on purpose. I just had these bricks to build the roof.

Awesome, very nice combination of classic styles and different colours. The perspective also works well with the buildings in the back.

Looks simple due to small clear walls, but it glows astonishing beauty. Great job!

Very nice MOC. I really like the layout of the village and the work with rock slopes.
