First Castle MOC

Post by twevans »

So I decided to keep it small.

Got the idea from seeing Kecia Hansen's microscale work with the LDD posted earlier today.

For its small size this actually looks awesome! I would expand upon it, maybe turn it into a concentric castle or built a fortified city next to it.
Great work.

I originally planned more, but greatly overestimated what I could do with the 16x16 baseplate. A concentric castle could look nice, I'll play around with that.

This is lovely, I would like to see it manifested in real bricks, but it's a good start for your first castle MOC.

Excellent creation. I too would like to see a real brick version of this, but for the time being, this is a great microscale castle.

I would too, maybe once I get a job I can place a bricklink order and build it.

I took Jacob C.'s advise and added an outer wall. A surrounding city would look great, but I'm not sure if I'm up for that challenge yet.

Hey,

Very nicely done. I particularly like the use of the technic axle holes as windows. It'd be great to see this actually built.
