Avaloch Abbey - 32 x 32 castle

Post by Quickblade22 »

Here is my newest 32 x 32 MOC. I named it Avaloch Abbey after the fictional name for the place the Great Lakes Medieval Faire takes place. Originally I built it a year ago, but was un happy with the way it looked. I made the housing part wood looking like Crown Road Keep a few months ago, but it sat idle for a while. While working on The Tower of Long Curse, I kept adding tiny things here and there to this MOC. I had decided I wanted a keep for the new Lion Knights form the Kingdoms line, but I have very few of them. I had this medieval monk looking minifigure lying around when I got the idea to make this into a monastery type structure. Here is the result which I am thoroughly pleased with. It also opens up like the Kings castle with a 32 x 16 plate in the front and 2 16 x 16 plates in the rear. The pictures don't do it justice, but the changes I made make this MOC look so much better. Trust me ;)

Wow! that looks great, I really like all the details: like the pigeon cage, and interior. I also like the way you did the wooden buildings and drawbridge. Keep up the good work.

You wouldn't happen to have that on a different site, would you? My filter program won't let me view flickr, and I'd really love to see this MOC.

The playability factor is always big with me. Good work!

Well, now that I can view it I'd say it's really good! I especially like the design of the desk and quill. (And is the violin LEGO? :? )

Thanks. I usually go for the playability factor when I can. The violin is a BrickForge piece.
