My latest LEGO project

**Marwarscreator** · July 17, 2010, 04:24pm

I've been working on this the past couple of months...

And it still need some details, but I figured I could release som teaser-shots:

I think I'll be able to finish the project this month,
if the LEGO-gods (and my wallet) lets me

**Marwarscreator** · July 21, 2010, 01:33pm

I'm still waiting for some bricks, but I do have some more teasers

And yes, it's build in minifig scale

(or close to, anyway)

**TriKlops295** · July 21, 2010, 02:24pm

Looking awesome so far!

**sdilks** · July 21, 2010, 03:17pm

Totally psyched about this post! I love Lego He-man stuff!

Looks great so far! I can see the Sorceress' throne....I think....

**masterenglish** · July 24, 2010, 05:58pm

More pics please! Looks awesome so far.

**Snaker** · July 25, 2010, 06:47pm

It looks good so far!!!!!! How is progress going???

**Marwarscreator** · July 26, 2010, 03:01pm

When building without a guide, a lot of ideas has to be tested, and it takes time...

And thanks for the positive feedback on the pictures

I'm currently waiting for some plates and I need to do some more details, so at the moment the there are only teasers on the menu:

I prefer not to post the WIP-pictures yet,
but when I'm all done and I've posted the pictures of the finished Grayskull, I'll get to the WIPs

The castle is now ready for the public...

And some of the castle accessory I (mostly) finished in time:

Keep in mind, this is a mix of the different castle-styles
and that I only used real LEGO bricks - no custom made bricks

Very cool!!! How long did it take, to get this? Where did you get all those grey bricks?

**Ferio** · July 30, 2010, 10:32am

Ooh, that's nice! Is there anything inside the mountain base or it just hollow? Dungeons perhaps? :3

**kk2** · July 30, 2010, 10:38am

Very wicked

, what's its size?

**bobtheodd** · July 30, 2010, 11:44am

That's SWEET!!!

**Soulgem** · July 30, 2010, 11:54am

fantastic stuff!!

**naugem** · July 30, 2010, 12:16pm

Wow. Looks really cool!
How many bricks did you use?

**customcrazy** · July 30, 2010, 12:38pm

Man, I don't even want to THINK about how much time that must have taken. Awesome man!

Now all you need are some little Lego He-Man and Skeletor to battle!

**Sky Breaker** · July 30, 2010, 06:53pm

Are you an architect by trade or something? That thing is amazing!

**Marwarscreator** · August 1, 2010, 10:23am

Thank you all for the positive feedback :cD

I guess approx 4 months (including the 'trialbuilding' with the bricks I had in hand at the time)
www.bricklink.com is your friend if you want to build something, or just want spare parts ;c)

They are in the works, but minifigs aren't that cheap and it takes a week from order to have it in hand... (+ I have to costumize a bit)

Thanks :c)
I'm not an architect, but I do have some knowledge about LEGO-bricks and how to use them ;c)

But I did mix different versions of Castle Grayskull, Filmation cartoon, 200x cartoon, vintage playset, 200x playset and this:

A peace from a MOTU board-game with the most awesome art :cD

**Omnis-Ra** · August 1, 2010, 11:33pm

Are you going to paint it?

**Marwarscreator** · August 2, 2010, 03:19am

No way - if I wanted it green I would have used cheaper bricks

And if I painted it, I can't put it in a MOC competition

(The MOC-rules states, it's not allowed to use modified bricks in a MOC competition - MOC=My Own Ceration)

I promised more pictures, but I don't think you expected this:

**Omnis-Ra** · August 2, 2010, 08:58am

Ok. Have you thought about doing another castle, like Snake Mountain or the Royal Kingdom?

Perhaps next year, if I got the money and space to do it...
