Hey everyone!
I just got pictures of my blacksmith shop back, and uploaded to Brickshelf.
Check them out at http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=444
and please let me know what you think of it. I plan on LDrawing it as soon as I
get the time and ambition.
Now some captioning for the pictures, although most should be self-explanitory.
2ndfloorinterior.jpg Well it doesn't take much to figure out that this is the
second story of the building, the living quarters. We see Wilhelm Graham,the
blacksmith, taking a rest while his wife and son, Robert Graham, eat their
midday meal.
backexterior.jpg Another self explanitory one :) Here we see the back of the
building with the chimney and tree. It is hard to see, but where the vine is
coming from the center of the tree, is a secret hiding place.
blacksmithinterior.jpg The inside of the blacksmith shop. We can see Wilhelm
at work in this picture. To the left are tools or weapons that need work.
Behind him is his tool rack which is empty because I only had two tools for him
because I didn't know what blacksmiths use for tools. The Furnace and Wheel
were taken from a Lego Idea Book.
captureofkent.jpg In this picture we see the capture of Lord Kent, the
patriot who has been accused as a traitor. We can see Sir John of Wellingham
making the arrest. Hark! is that Lord Kent's faithful woodcutters I see! Maybe
he is not yet doomed!
lordkent.jpg Here we see the patriot Lord Kent and his faithful woodcutters.
In front and to the right of the blacksmith shop are some peasants who are
tired of British oppression.
sirjohnofwelingham.jpg In this picture we see Sir John of Wellingham talking
to Wilhelm Graham. To the left we see Robert Graham and his fiancee Helen
Bodwell.
Well that's all I have for pictures and there's not much else I can add for
text.
Enjoy, and PLMKWYT!

Hi Ryan!
I like your shop. The way you constructed the cut-off corner is nice, and I
like the way you incorporated the castle-wall sections in the building so that
they are almost unnoticable.
A few quests/comments:
What camera did you use? With what lighting? I'm asking because there is quite
a bit of glare from the interior pics, and that's a shame 'coz I can barely
make out the interior. I think that taking the pic at an angle other than
above the building would help. Maybe try to put the lighting behind the model,
instead of on top...?
Also, I'd love to hear more about the story development, the characters, etc.
Perhaps having the pics somewhere where captions are available (ie, a personal
homepage).

Thanks. I don't have many pieces that are rerally good for making castle style
buildings, but I thought this came out great.

I used a Canon Rebel G and I ended up just using a table lamp from above
because I couldn't get enough light any other way. If I did it from another
angle I couldn't get enough light in the building because of the lack of
windows. I think the real bright spot on the left was because the flash went
off. I think that the upper room one came out quite wel though.

I may do something on my personal page if I get the time.
To tell you the truth, I came up with all of those names, except for Lord Kent,
while I was writing the post.
I have already thought of a name for my small castle kingdom...Great Brickian
:) pretty cool, I think.
I just started LDrawing, so it should be done in the next couple of weeks if i
get the time, but I have some reports to write for school so it'll happen when
it happens.
Thanks again for the comments
Ryan
