In my current pirate-themed build, Blackskull Archipelago, I am building a lot of water and also shorelines where the water meets sandy beaches. Because this is a collaborative build it is important that the sections that each person builds are able to match up with those around it, so the actual first step in [...]
This time I have made some instructions for the panelled walls that form a lot of the interior details in my Gyldenspir Castle build. The panels in this build are achieved by offsetting the middle of the walls with 1x2 jumper plates and using 1x1 modified bricks with a stud on the side to [...]
I decided to make some instructions for another feature of my castle that I have been asked about, and this one was created before the doors and window designs, this time it is the arrowslits in the outer curtain walls. These ones really take advantage of the shape created by the profile of ingot [...]
I have just finished working out how my castle windows will be built and decided to create some instructions. As with my panelled castle doors, I have inset the window frames by half a stud allowing for a 1x4x2 arch to sit proud of the wall by half a stud at the top. The [...]
After my panelled castle doors, the thing I have been asked about the most in my yellow castle build are the segmented arches. They are actually pretty simply achieved, but I have created some instructions. I have been trying to find a way to create a nice arch with visible voussoirs and a keystone, [...]
I decided to put together some instructions for the panelled doors in my yellow castle build. The door itself uses two 2x2x2 box pieces for the panel detail, and is inset half a stud from the frame meaning that two 1x3x3 arches can be used at the top sitting proud of the frame by [...]
In my current Yellow Castle inspired build I am currently working on sections of the castle which are made of sandstone and I am employing two distinct textures to hopefully suggest this material to the observer. To come up with these textures I have looked at various reference images of stone walls and stone [...]
In my current build I am creating a combined Crown Knights faction called the Knights of the Crown & Pennant. In this post I am going to be showing the livery designs for their units. I have only created three units so far, musketeers, cavaliers and pikemen. I will in future be creating some [...]
A few people have asked about the technique I haved used in my wrecked domes in my Ice Planet Badlands build, so I have just put together some instructions. These instructions are for one panel of the dome, with the idea being that you would build as many as you need and join the [...]
A few people have commented about the technique I am using to build ice crystals in my Ice Planet Badlands build, so I have just put together some instructions. As with any of my instructions, please let me know if they are useful to you. I would love to see what you do with [...]
