A terrible feeling in moc building is when you start a new build and you place an order for parts and when the come you find out you don’t have enough
true!!
Maybe worse is that you forgot just one piece type that is critical, and you can't start for another week or two
@@DagmarDoesLegoand then by the time they come, you lose inspiration for that idea lol
‘Olive Green’ + ‘Dark Brown’ make a good colour combination for the ground. Also using Autumn coloured trees like ‘Flame Yellow’ really make the surroundings pop!
Dark brown is a good call actually. I don't have any right now but i might give it a try for the muddier parts of the moc
@@GoldfyreAnother great piece that would go really well, especially on Vampire Knights, would be the new sword element seen in a new Ninjago Dragon Rising set (71811)
I am just commenting to be on the same thing as Goldfryre.
I do think the greenery in front could use a little bit, Maybe some dark green 1x1's and/or a leaf her or there could bring some great contrast, similarly to how you did the tan/nougat in the back. Do agree on the olive green for the majority color though, that is an awesome choice.
Great vid! Will be fun😁 Keep going my friend!
Thanks man! I'm so excited to get this project rolling :)
@@GoldfyreI think you wanted to say: this project trolling:) (cause you like orc factions)
That’s basically the wall from the helms deeps Uruk hai army set, isn’t it? Although it looks great, so exited for the next parts
Definitely make sure to contact Lego about what's missing, sending replacements will cost them and show them that they need to step it up on their QA
The wall looks amazing btw, really love the inside
Thank you so much!
And yeah, I'm currently writing down every discrepancy in the order and then am going to contact them. I've always had a good experience with their support so we'll see :)
@@Goldfyre yes! Get those missing pieces. Lego is not a cheap hobby, you paid for them and +40 pieces missing is simply not acceptable. Also, from my experience, the costumer service is really friendly and accommodating.
Great video and moc can wait for next episode keep in the good work
The level of detail on this wall is outstanding, just the right amount without going overboard! If I had to make a suggestion, it would be to make the wall a bit taller. Looking forward to seeing this progress further!
I'm definitely considering raising it by another 2 bricks. I'll try it first with the opposite side wall to see which one i prefer
And from medieval like castle .I LIKE THIS
Looks fantastic. Great work. Very inspirational!
that looks so good! Very excited to see how it turns out.
I'm so excited to continue working on it! :)
Great stuff dude! Thanks for sharing your build process! Keep up the awesome work! 🙌🏼
Thank you! :)
Looking great so far! I personally use Harry Potter wands as arrows, they are proportionally more accurate and they look better when a figure holds them!
That's honestly the best option. I just have such a surplus of those black "arrow" parts from the vampire knight cmf.
Love it! You should make a tower next!
I hope to see a few small castle builds from you as well, it would be cool to see at least a Raven fort or something for them.
I have a raven fortress planned :)
This details so actually realistic from tower,
Really brilliant can’t wait for the next episode
Glad you enjoyed! :)
Thanks forgiving me some inspiration
I know it maybe a little more time effort and money, but making your walls modular is a huge help in building and moving your moc. I haven’t regretted it
I'm heavily considering it, i just need to work out how it will work first :)
@@Goldfyre I’ve been using MILS plates, there are smaller base plates to use also, like 32x16 or 16x8
Always contact Lego if your PaB order is wrong/missing something. It's literaly one minute and usually they just send you the missing pieces without asking questions. I've reported every second order I think for either something missing (a stupid quiver) or, more often, something damaged (scratched shield, sheep, etc). Always 0 discussion and on the next day I have a new order raised in my name. They also need this feedback to improve on QA. I once reported a not-working Duplo train straight out of the box and they've ordered me a new train and even ordered a courier for me to send them back the damaged train so that they can see what's wrong with it (it turned on but didn't drive).
Looks great! Comments for the full castle: dont make it too big, keep it smallish and remember to add fun playability functions. Best of luck!
Great advice! It's gonna be a fun challenge to make the rest of the towers and front gate match the size and aesthetic of this wall :)
looking great, can't wait to see more
Thanks man!!! :)
dang, that looks great!
Thank you so much!!! :)
Cannot wait for the rest of the episodes. Will be taking notes for when I finally build my own castle. Also the was looks amazing! NIce work!
looks amazing. On my castle moc, i tried all the time. Thank you for sharing your ideas
Looking good, love the wooden walk ways
Thanks!! :)
Pick a brick is perfect for MOC builders, it’s a useful tool! Excited for the new series!
It's the best!
Isn't bricklink better? I personally use pick a brick cause i can't find anything on bricklink, but maybe the price is better. Is it?@@Goldfyre
Bricklink in general will be a lot cheaper. But you have to worry about shipping costs on Bricklink
wow looks really cool, great job!
Wow man! Did not disappoint. Super clean build❤ I started disigning mine not that long ago amd it completely got away from me in terms of size.. haha
Can be hard to cram so much detail into a smaller moc. Love the episode looking forward to your next!
Thank you so much!! next one will be coming pretty soon :)
Beautiful color choices and an amazing detailed build. Absolutely love it and am excited to see more 🤩
Thanks :)
I like this so much, it’s so cool
Those clip & bar parts are great for making awesome looking cobblestone pathways as well. Just have a 2x2 rounded plate and a 2x2 rounded plate together and stick on the bar and it makes a fun little build. I personally used it to remake my lion castle entrance
GoldFyre your builds are flippin AWESOME
It's funny how Bricklink sellers handle counting the parts a lot better than Lego themselves. I've gotten blown away with how good some BL sellers are, yet my last pick a brick was also missing parts.
I say dont be afraid to add some lighter tints! Appropriately placed lighter color bricks can really make dark colors pop more. You could use regular tan for hay or straw, for example. (Its also slightly more saturated than dark tan so it also pops in terms of color, not just light level). The opposite is also true. Dark green can be used for foliage accents and smaller detiails to compliment the olive green as it creates more contrast and depth. I would stick to olive as main ground cover color and add dark green in little bits here and there to indicate on shade, depth, perhaps moss or a wetter patch of ground. Reddish or dark brown can also be used for ground details, trees or twigs, etc.
When i make the opposite wall for the castle i am going to try and make it with olive green plates mixed in. That way i can compare them side by side :)
Great techniques that are really well applied. Love it!
Great content as Always !!! 😍
Thanks!!! :)
That looks fire making me wanna make a lite Moc for my Falcon troops
Looks great.
Glad you are finally doing this!! I’m really excited!
How much episodes are you planning on doing?
As many episodes as it takes to finish lol :)
@@Goldfyre :)
What I would say for a recommendation is that you should probably put a mounted ballista on a tall watchtower and have a gate house over the drawbridge. That way they can always be someone on guard
Finally. I’m hyped to see how you build this, go crazy
I am not kidding you I literally went to a lego store and got a bunch of bricks/plates for the beginnings of my black falcon castle from the pab wall :'D!! Also your building skills are amazing!
Thank you and good luck on your black falcon castle!! :)
This inspired me to finish a Lego tavern MOC I have been putting off, I'm very excited to see your style applied to a castle, good luck!
Never thought someone would be able to get me to sit through a haul but that was thoroughly entertaining. Can’t wait to see how this castle turns out!!
Thank you! Much more stuff coming with this castle project :)
Definitely add a goat pen inside when youve finished :D
Just recently I’ve found the motivation to start preparing to do my first MOC. Your videos serve as great inspiration for me, keep up the great work!
Honestly wathcing this makes me want to make something similar. I just ordered a bunch of black falcon minifig parts on PAB along with various armors. Maybe i need a castle to go along with it. Making it ina modular type style would be cool, so you would always be able to add more!
I’ve been very excited about this series and episode 1 did not disappoint!
In my lore the black falcon’s live far to the north in a snowy keep, but this video has given me a lot of inspiration for wall design!
work a few olive green 1x1s or any other earthy coloured plates into the base of the wall to make it look a bit more weathered / mossy. just a tiny bit :D
Dude! So cool! My only suggestion would be to add some vines and weathered details to give the castle more patina. Killer techniques.
Haven’t watched video yet, but I want to support it with comment…
An excellent start and another great vid! ~proceeds to open my own PAB order in another window~
Yo I’ve been waiting for this for a while. Love the vids btw. Can’t wait to see the end result.
Glad you enjoyed! :)
Great video!!! Looking forward to seeing more of your castle creations! SUBSCRIBED!!!
Thanks! :)
I'm super happy for you. I know this is going to turn out amazing!! Working on my own castle right now.. it's been done a little bit, but I really wanted to modify the three in one black falcons castle.. but I'm definitely going in on it..
I would suggest a tower and/or keep, possibly combined, would be really great to add and so would a gatehouse.
Adding a water mill t oyour castle would be pretty cool.
I would add some torches to the walls. The guards need to see during night time.
Oooo this might be my favorite suggestion so far! Great idea
Finally 😊
do you know how long I have waited for this series
Love the idea of you making a Castle
Cool 😊
I am really excited to see the updates! Great video as always
Thanks!!! :)
My big issue with Pick a Brick, is when you order Standard elements. Takes over a month. Enjoyed your Castle build. Great Job!
It's a huge draw back. I've had standard orders take up to 2 months!
Yeah, I’ve accidentally double ordered parts because of that. Wish Olive Green came in more types of shapes. Would change out my dark green grass and hills.
This was so cool
Love your vids!
Maybe for a gate you could use a Lego train motor to make it go up and down automatic
Or maybe also add a technic axel to put in through a hole in the gate so you can instantly drop it and then use the train motor again to pull it up
Maybe, i'm probably going to go with a manual option though :)
❤love it
I love this video, I’m gonna have to use some of these ideas. Maybe next time you can make a longer video?? That would be great. Thanks!
For sure! The next one will definitely be longer :)
perfect timing bc i'm waiting for a pab order for my castle mocs
Looks awesome! I wish I had a pick a brick website avaiable here in Brazil.
Can't wait to see your creation! Do you mind sharing how to build those angled walls? Looks fantastic!
Ahh man that's too bad.
I might make a tutorial on it but im not sure yet :)
nice, super exited for this series.
I got the idea from you to use reddish brown walkways for my castle walls for my castle moc and I am in love with how it looks!
Something you could try to help with either future storage or transportability is making the castle into modular sections, either through pin or clip attachments on the sides. If you ever plan on showing it off at a convention, this would be an absolute Godsend to do.
Besides that, I'd recommend downloading the Lion Knights Castle instructions and just looking at some of the techniques it pulls off for inspiration.
I am certainly planning on doing something like that :)
Look awesome so far! I get that you say olive green looks more realistic, but its much harder to come by in quantity. I buy from bricklink not the online wall, so what's going around in current sets is mostly all that's available. So i use mostly plain green bricks for foliage. Unrealistic isn't so bad, since, it gives the fantast look. My theme is medieval/fantasy.
It definitely depends on your own personal taste, which of course is 100% subjective. I really love olive green but yeah it is a pain to come by second hand.
Im soooo exited!
I hope you enjoy! :)
I just watched another video of yours and immediately went to like it. I'm really looking forward to the finished MOC.
There are quite a few castles in the area where I live and I have to admit that some of them really don't look that nice. I think artistic freedom and a sense of aesthetics are not inappropriate when it comes to MOCs. Thanks for all your ideas.
I too goofed up in terms of minifig width once. It was when I tried building a vampire coffin... Minifigs can't quite get in because it's too narrow for their torsos due to the arms.
I LOVE the design of these walls but because of the height, maybe this could be part of your outter walls and your inner walls to your "keep" or more important buildings could be taller. For example: Your markets, housing, and smiths could be enclosed with the outter (shorter) walls while the keep and barracks could be enclosed in the middle of all the markets, housing, etc with inner (taller) walls.
Love the upgrade, however you should make the wall s taller and that section of it at the middle a bit wider for the final castle . The 2 2x1 masonry bricks look weird hanging over the sides.
It's so funny man just last night i was considering widening each section by 2 studs. I'll have a whole sketched plan of the castle in the next video so that everyone can see where i'm trying to take the moc.
Awesome video! Love love love the colors you used and it is very inspirational for my mocs. Are you in the US?
I am
@@Goldfyre cool, I am a MOC builder from Minnesota, do you ever show your mocs at conventions or anywhere? Are you a member of a lug?
You better make a castle.
Love it man!
Thank you! :)
Good video❤
:) Thanks!
Awesome. Would love to see cost of the parts/mocs.
I'd love to take a tally at the end of the series/moc and see what the final cost was. No promises tho lol :)
Try adding that indent every other wall piece
40 masonry bricks at ~$.15 is $6 they didn't give you... that's no shrug it off chunk o' change. I usually never have serious problems from pick-a-brick, but I would definitely get ahold of them for 40 pieces.
I really want to do a windmill.. and I really wish we got another windmill set.. I kind of wanted to make a castle with a little bit of a windmill scene on the side
If I were you, I'd not use the Vampire Knight to make generic Fright Knights (he's an updated Basil the Bat Lord, leader of the Fright Knights) & instead use the Series 19 Fright Knight.
Looks amazing, i might do this on a larger scale
Hey goldfyre, you’re videos are just incredible and I’d kill to have your scale of collection😂 can you tell me what whited out surface you use you to record your videos on?
It's just a basic ikea table :)
@@Goldfyre thank you my friend!
👍
IMO there are never enough "tips and tricks" type vids out there - you could try a small series of those.
Maybe :)
you should make a black falcon knight that he chills out by watering his mini garden maybe use the face of the new goat guy and make hid garden and also a well for his garden
by the he chills out because he is stressed out of the war
I love the sound of a garden. I'm not sure if im going to include one in this castle because it's more of a winter-y one but maybe :)
oooooo ok i was going to tell you that you could make a little tree that he likes like a bonsai but maybr hr could have a pet a falcon is an ovies one but maybe he could have a baby dragon from the new harry potter sets
30% less parts is outrageous
Yeah... Thankfully support has already made an order shipping me all the missing parts. (i had a bunch of other parts missing aswell.)
My favourite Lego colour is olive green but I don’t have many pieces in that colour and most of the plates I have are weird angles
Yeah it's a pretty rare color sadly...
I love this wall! How do you know what to order? Do you use a spreadsheet to calculate, some app (and if so, which one), or just wing it?
I actually made a list of all the parts i wanted and then went in on PAB and picked them out. It's a good idea to have an idea of the parts you want before you start adding them to your cart imo.
@@Goldfyre yes, but how do you know what to put on the list? Do you plan out the wall ahead of time on paper or in an app? Or do you just know the various pieces well enough and are able to keep the 3D Puzzle plans in your head?
Great work! Did you design this first using an app like Studio? Or did you design it after buying the parts? I ask because i'm facing something similar and I'm trying to figure out a good worklow.
Hey! I found an image on flickr that i really liked and reverse engineered the basic SNOT structure and then modfied it to make it my own. And i did that all in physical bricks. I've used studio a bit in the past and really want to start using it again for trying new techniques. I think using both physical bricks and messing around in studio can be helpful in their own rights.
@@Goldfyre Totally agree. I am trying to balance the two. I prefer the flow of physical legos. Thanks!
Awesome build, thanks for sharing. Where can I find those Freight knight bodies, I haven't had any luck?
I found all of mine from weighing the cmf packs with a scale
I did not get 100 light blueish grey masonry bricks and I only got some insider points not even the bricks I wanted
With the hair you bought you can make a charlie aka penguinz0😂😂😂
hahaha true!
I would contact them aswell since the 40 bricks are close to 33 percent of the bricks
Oh i am going to be. This is the biggest discrepancy I've ever had in an order to date. Usually it's only off by a piece or two
Looks wonderfull, is there an instruction to the moc or a part list that I can get?
There isn't right now but perhaps in the future.
