Well then. Why don't Castlers take a cue from Spacers and build MOCs of
things they have seen in films, books, and other media. In .space I have
seen models of SW, ST, and Red Dwarf ships, etc. How many Castle MOCs have
been renditions of items from sword & sorcery or historic films? I know
I've seen some LOR things posted. What about Willow, Labyrinth, Army of
Darkness, Princess Bride, Gladiator, Highlander, Black Adder, etc.?
What if we were inspired to build models of such things? I seem to recall a
fairly ominous looking bad-guy castle in Willow... Haven't seen a MOC of
that. And Monty Python's Quest for the Holy Grail? Sure, there was that
video short a while back and I thought I saw a killer rabbit scene recently,
but think of what else you could make. The cave beast? The castle near the
sea? "Maybe we could build a mini-fig scale wooden badger..." <grin>
Just thinking aloud,
