Hi all! This is my first post on LUGNET, so I hope I’m doing this right. I’m 15 years old, and just joined LUGNET recently. (Member 2530)

I thought I’d post my latest MOC, a Castle Gate, and a slightly older MOC, a Castle Corner Tower, together. They’re both the same “system” of building, so if I had the bricks to have both constructed at once they would fit together perfectly. (That’s the theory anyway)






If you prefer pics

I’m interested on hearing feedback, good or bad. Especially any suggestions people might have on how to improve my building skills.

Thanks for looking!

John L.

John, I love both of these creations. Having worked on a similiar gate myself, I could see how much time must have gone into building it. I really liked that you had your walls built on a rocky elevation and not just on baseplates. While they would (...) (20 years ago, 10-Oct-04, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Excellent use of 75° slopes, nice stone buildup on the ground, full brick trees, a portcullis made of plates, only true grays and brown--the list goes on and on. These are some great castle MOC's. Keep up the good work and welcome to LUGNET! (...) (20 years ago, 13-Oct-04, to lugnet.castle, FTX)
