Love the details you have on those walls! Can't wait to see what you come up with.

1 stud = 1foot is realistic for floor area, but not for height. My scale is based on the height of a minifig being 1.8m(6foot). So 8 bricks high is 12 foot tall.

Is one stud in your scale equal to 1 foot? Cause that seems realistic for a minifig... But you mentioned 8 and 12

Gorgeous! Excellent detail!

haha, thanks but though I find it very interesting, designing my creations on software doesn't really work with me, still it's cool to know that it is being done

What you see here is a small section of the foundations for the main castle building. I will be posting the finished foundation either tonight or tomorrow depending on if I can get it finished tonight... :) Thanks.

an incredibly fancy wall, but for the wall to look that detailed I`m just wondering what your actual castle is going to look like ?! You must be building something equally elaborate inside the walls ??!!....shall wait and see....

Reminds me of the game The Elder Scrolls, the cities are huge castles with cities inside them. Great job keep it up! :D

Nice, I guess your not studying to be a forensic investigator then :P haha. Let me know if your interested in the part files and i'll try to work on it.

yes, I use solidworks, an educational kit for school, it's an amazing program

I want to make it true minifig scale, most castles I see on the web do not have an 8foot stud, they are closer to a 12foot stud. So each level of ceiling in my castle is going to be 7 bricks high, with an 8th brick for the floor thickness. This also fits into the formula I am using for the module construction.

Made it myself, so far it contains close to 200 different bricks, with another 100+ to be done. Do you use Solidworks? I can upload the part files to my website (though that would take some time...)

In short - YES! Haha, of the 9000+ pieces this already uses, 6.7k of them are 1x1 rounds. I only own around 7000 atm.

and did you made that library yourself ? or can it be downloaded somewhere ?

I have a library of bricks containing colour configurations. I build up sub-assemblies and then use them. I can also configure the sub-assemblies to allow different texture on those walls, simply by changing what config a brick is set to. Each brick has just over 40 different colours configured to it, but I am only going to be using the colours that I know is available for each piece. The next few posts should hopefully showcase this a bit more. I have also considered adding a config to the sub-assemblies called 'simple', where I supress all the parts in the assembly untill the final rendering - for better pc performance.

So.....should I order up on some 1x1 rounds now before you drive the price up to $1 each!! Just kidding, looks great already!

Oh! I just can't wait that long! This will be massive. I thought building my castle over the summer was a long time, but two years! I now must invent a time machine so I can fast forward to when this is finished!

wait a minute, so you're using solidworks to keep track of what pieces and their colors you'll need, does that mean you have some kind of library in solidworks containing all those pieces ? or do you work with objects you describe as having a certain amount of parts ?

REALLY AWESOME!!! I LIKE HOW YOU DIDN'T MAKE IT TOO BIG BUT MINIFIG SCALE!!!

Looks like a ridiculous amount of 1x1 rounds you'll be needing.. Wow this project should be really impressive if you complete it.. A few years is a long time

....i'm so excited that I just peed myself....

two years? i'll never be able to build one MOC for that long.

Wow, i will wait as long as it takes to see this thing.

Can't wait to see the real thing in 2 years :)

ALREADY 9000 pieces, and expected to take a few years!!! you have heaps of lego and time to waste! not that building with lego is a waste of time, but that's a long time... awesome job- the design is really cool!
