The City of Katoren

Post by LittleJohn »

My finished collab with soccerkid6. This is our largest build to date, with a base size of 66x98, and weighing in at 30.2 pounds. There are 70 minifigures in the city.

We constructed it over a 6 week period. Every building has a full interior, and every floor is accesible via stairs or ladder. There are four moving features: the windmill, the potter's wheel, the hidden trapdoor in the city hall, and the bell; see them in action here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mIu9rbu3F1U

The city buildings include: windmill, tower, gatehouse, potter's shop, tailor's shop, city hall, noble's house, palace guesthouse, and palace.

You guys really did a fantastic job on this one. I'm super impressed with how well all the modules flow so seamlessly together, and how consistent the architectural and cultural style is throughout the build. This is definitely one of the best creations I've ever seen from either one of you. Top notch work fellas!

On a side note to John, I just came across your stream the other day, and was super impressed with your work! I've followed your brother for a long time, but I'd never really seen your stuff. I love it when two people in the same family both produce super high-quality builds, but with clearly distinct styles. Good work man, keep it up! :D

(You too Isaac. I'm continually impressed by your amazing large-scale castles and manors. Keep up the great building mate! ;) )

Really impressive all put together and lots of details to zoom into! The colours and architecture are refreshing as well.

Wow, this came together even better than I was expecting, and I was expecting a lot! It's been fun watching the individual builds pop up on yours and Isaac's streams but it's even better now seeing them all conjoined. Truly excellent collaborative project and this showcases your most impressive work so far. I applaud you sir! :)
