Woossy Castles?

Post by Buford »

I’m watching the Addams Family DVD.

Where are the torture chambers?

No iron maiden, no stretch rack?

How does one expect to get truth or life changing experience out of a minifig using only half measures?

I made a Dungeon a few years ago for the Midnight MOCkery Contest. No Iron Maiden but there is a rack and a whipping post.

Cool Beans,

Thanks for sharing,

I had a GF with a dungeon like that but I left in a hurry. ;-)

My Sokenniwell Castle has even a prison with a true oubliette in its walls! The Belville-princess in it has to be a skeleton by now.
There will be no lack of torment in my castle!

Do someone have a Belville skeleton? :twisted:

At last, a place for KKII! ;-)

Has anyone made an iron maiden before? I'd like to see how it is done.

An old castle-head named Pawel once used the sarcophagus found in the Egyptian Adventurer's sets to make an Iron Maiden. It seemed like it worked rather well.

The block death site has an iron maden.

Warning! Some will find the block death site offensive due to the graphic nature of the MOCs and the depiction of a crucifixion.

Iron maiden

I use a Adventurers sarcophagus and then put three of the silver dart pieces through the back to make sure it isn't so comfortable for the minifig inside.

Hehehe

Oh, BTW that's a very cool dungeon.

No need for torture chambers or anything like that. The walls and towers on my City-State are so high you can just push off the criminal/prisoner to execute them. Or... threaten to toss them over the crenellations if they don't give out info. :twisted:

I did not bother reading through everyone's postings, though, is it possible to make a realistic looking iron maiden? I would imagine that you would have to be able to actually fit a figure into a coffin-like box and to have spikes or something as well. It would get kind of tight for space (not that there needs to be). Correct me if im wrong, but isnt the iron maiden the torture device that was principally used in Germany, and on women? I thought i saw a show on the history channel about torture. Just wondering.
