This was my first attempt in this scale. The inspiration came from a book call “Castles from the air”. About 33% of the MOC was built by my wife, Tânia.

Now, the next step is to put it on minifig scale :)

Boas

Este foi o meu MOC surpresa para a PLUGFest 2005a. O “clique” para fazer este MOC veio de uma fotografia aerea da cidade de Marvão no livro “Castles from the air”. Claro que o resultado final não tem nada a haver com Marvão e também nunca foi esse o meu intuito. Foi mais uma experiência para ver o que era capaz de fazer nesta escala! A construção demorou cerca de dois dias e com muita ajuda da Tânia (cerca de um terço da área do MOC foi da responsabilidade dela). Agora só nos falta passar o projecto para escala minifig....

Luis, That's a great scene. Carcassonne is great, my eight year old got it for Christmas. It's a German designed tile laying game with a lot of depth, me and my daughters (eight and three) can play a good competitive game without me handicapping myself. I highly recommend it. Thanks, George

Something very similar (in the sence that it's also a game and a guy named Gary Thomas took the effort of building a LEGO version) is called "Cathedral". Brickshelf galery: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=25681 Gary's original Lugnet post: http://news.lugnet.com/announce/moc/?n=537 This in turn inspired Jason Spears to make his own version, and buiding instructons for it: On MOC pages: http://www.mocpages.com/moc.php/437 Brickshelf galery: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=25869 His excelent buiding instructions for the game pieces and game board: http://www.michlug.org/resources/instructions/cathedral/ With friendly greetings, M. Moolhuysen.

Hello Luis,

I’m a big fan of your previous work (especially Torre de Belem and Casa-Minhota), and this is also wonderful. I really like the way you used elevation in this MOC, and how in side the town you used tiles to put your buildings at different angles than 90degrees. The cathedral is a great design as well.

como o Daniel não consegue enviar posts, pediu-me para o fazer por ele

A cidade fortificada está excelente! Quando vista de determinados angulos parece mesmo de verdade. Sugiro que no chão da cidade uses tiles ou plates, porque misturados nao ficam bem.
