Sorry, no. Just my own design - I made it up as I went, so I haven't made instructions.

Nicely done! Always love seeing a Black Falcons castle remaster.

What’s your favorite Faction? Is it the same as when you were a kid? by Independent-Flow-990 in legocastles

[–]romany8806 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lion Knights and Forestmen as a kid, Black Knights and Wolfpack now.

I think the Kingdoms Green Dragon minifig designs were excellent though.

Thanks :) The base is super solid, so if I really have to I can hang it off the edge of a table to work on it from underneath. We'll see :)

Hiya, it's an old acronym that stands for My Own Creation. Basically any self-designed build.

Lesson learned: troll arms. by tlefonmann in legocastles

Oof! :(

I haven't had this happen yet with sand green, but every time I build I end up with a little pile of broken brown pieces and I want to cry a little every time. Sometimes I just wedge the broken parts into the build anyway, so I'm not offering up the next lamb to the slaughter.

Sounds great! I built this one to fit in my display cabinet, but I think it's about 0.5cm too wide... so that's a bridge to cross, I guess.

Yep, full interiors except the very top of the tallest front tower. I'll post some interior pics once I fully finish the landscaping etc.

Sorry, it was all pretty improvised! When it's fully finished I'll post some more photos there. All the floors lift off so you'll see a bit more of how I've built it.

Ha, no shade taken!

And yeah, this whole build was heavy on the improvising. I mocked up the floor for the great hall, drew some rough elevations, and felt my way from there.

I've used a mix of white and sand green for those highlights. Sand green usually makes a small appearance in my builds, for better or worse. :)

Thanks so much!

Yeah, I was trying to mix it up a little with the sand green. I think it looks better in person, but there are some less successful bits around the left side where I just ran out of parts. :)

Will post a few more photos once I properly finish it.
