Building Terrain For My Lego Medieval Town Square & Lion Knights' Castle Diorama

[@perrylong3299]

Really love that SNOT technique for the terrain. I would love to see more of a breakdown for that if you do more as using the plates and various wedges looks awesome. Keep up the great building!

[@1by1Brick]

Thanks, you can check my terrain building video for the clone base moc series, I did the same technique and gave more of a breakdown

[@FlatSixLego]

@@1by1BrickIn all honesty I wouldn’t mind the vids beings a couple minutes longer if you could stand still with the actual building too. We’re shown the end result too fast sometimes, we want to see how you did it in detail too.

[@1by1Brick]

I did demonstrated things slower during the blacksmith diorama series and had comments about being too slow, quite difficult to strike a balance, check out that series and let me know if that was too fast or too slow

[@Goldfyre]

oh man this project is already looking gorgeous... I absolutely loved the outer wall technique and that bridge over the waterfall is just perfect 🤌

[@1by1Brick]

Thanks, yeah I didn't want to do yet another rocky cliff so I tried something different, work out well!

[@MiniMIniMorkGaming]

Hey Goldfyre! Can't wait for August's top 10 MOCs video

Hello

[@godofstraycats7212]

you're a lego magician!

[@BrickBorg5]

My god, I think this is gonna be the best KZbin series I’ve ever watched🤣🤩🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@1by1Brick]

Haha thanks! Lets see how it goes 😄

[@Voraxis]

Great inspiration. Thank you.

[@cepateoignons9077]

I love that you thought about where the water comes from and the advantages of the terrain

[@1by1Brick]

thank you 😊

[@BallDankeys]

the building, the editing/cinematography... you deserve all the youtube love man. this is art.

[@1by1Brick]

Thanks, to me Lego is art 😊

[@Yogington]

That sloped overhang wall is great!

[@1by1Brick]

Thank you!

[@myadultlegoworld5587]

This is outstanding! It's great to know you are a free builder and do it by trial and error. I have a lot of ideas in my head about how I want my creations to look. I tried using the building software but it's so much easier to "just do it". I'm no where near the builder you are. I don't have techniques down or tricks to use. I'm learning by watching the awesome builds from creators like yourself. THANK YOU for putting videos up so folks like myself can learn.

[@1by1Brick]

Thanks, I’m here to share ideas, glad I could help!

[@MysticBrick]

Fantastic work so far, I really enjoy how you freestyle your designs, this is also how I operate. Looking forward to more!!

[@1by1Brick]

Who needs a plan right? Just get buildin’! But it’s something i should improve on, could help save alot of time 😅

[@oliviermarti8173]

❤❤❤❤ tu as une imagination exceptionnelle soit en conscient !!!! C est juste trop réaliste et parfaitement construit. Grace à toi entre autres (merci à goldfyre aussi 😊) j ai réussi à me faire un repaire des wolfpack avec une base 48x48 , et j ai aussi commencé une taverne 😀 Juste merci et j attnds la suite avec impatience 🥳🥳🥳

[@1by1Brick]

Thanks, congrats on your build, keep building!

[@FabianCastro]

Oh man, that is beautiful, and the elevation of the trail is incredible.

[@1by1Brick]

Thanks!

[@BDD_Builds]

Hooray for more castle building! 🏰

[@jeddavis8768]

Wow! By far the best base/scenery I've seen--I can't wait to see the Village added in.

[@VilhelmH-nn7if]

Super coolt can't wait to the next video super cool the waterfall is amazing 😮😮🎉

[@1by1Brick]

Thank you!

[@alext.7313]

This is going to be such an epic build!!

[@1by1Brick]

Thanks!

[@FlatSixLego]

On rebrickable is a very nice alternative for the ramp down of the castle, the standard one looks so plain.

[@1by1Brick]

I want to do as few modifications as possible since its a diorama to showcase the set but i do agree it is quite basic

[@jamesbartlett5723]

Amazing 👏🏼👏🏼 love the rocks, love that bridge and love the overall look and feel you’ve gone for! Looking forward to see the rest of the moc. Currently 2/3 of the way through building lion knights myself, amazing build and some genius techniques for the angles 👌🏼

[@1by1Brick]

Thank you, LKC was a great build, really enjoyed it!

[@MagnetCrocodile]

an ever-changing event space is a great idea! keep up the great work!

[@1by1Brick]

Thanks!

I Love this!!! Can't wait for next episode!

[@1by1Brick]

Thank you!

[@pierrejossart7608]

Great job! One critic regarding the swords, as they are not fighting, they should be at their side instead of in the hand. But I know it's not easy to do (but not always impossible).

[@1by1Brick]

A waist level sword sheath piece would be a game changer

[@ShaparGamer]

Bro ur soo good at building And u build such amzing things I loved the walls and river Keep going ❤❤

[@user-jm1sn5ps4y]

The landscape looks amazing

[@1by1Brick]

Thanks!

[@Mrqawsikol]

I would like so much to reproduce this, was looking since the lion knight castle release some terain or way to complete it, if you release any kind of plan, I would buy it :)

[@MeatyTofu]

looks awesome

[@kvitulv]

HI First time viewer here. What a great video this turned out to be. I'm flabbergasted. Something you should consider is adding a tower hanging out over the cliff. Like an outer defense thing overlooking the road up to the castle. Anyway really look forward how this will turn out for you.

[@1by1Brick]

Thanks, great idea although the tower in the town square set will be positioned near the path up, but i may do another one on other side if theres room

[@lasseboo6206]

you are a great builder and a great storyteller. you deserve much more subscribers😍😍

[@1by1Brick]

Thanks 😊

[@AkaSlayerPug-dg1th]

Those knights are about to get some real experience lol

[@1by1Brick]

Haha they’re in for a world of pain!

[@SleepRunner606]

Really nice! Just because I HAVE to give some kind of feedback, I would suggest switching some of the grey rocks from the bottom of the castle to olive green pieces to make it blend better. So excited for future content 👍❤

[@1by1Brick]

Thanks, im considering adding rocks to the green plate areas instead, maybe some olive green as u suggested

[@LinusDyer-f9q]

I wish I could make something like that!

[@1by1Brick]

I couldn’t build like this to begin with either, keep building!

[@azombie8mybaby]

I enjoyed your video. I am currently working on a D&D campaign using only Lego. Inspired by the recent release of the D&D Red Dragons Tale set. We played through the included campaign and it was very fun. Since then I have been building extra castles, forts, courtyards, a couple of bars and inns, and even a creepy cemetery. I especially enjoyed how you built the bridge. I will try to incorporate something similar to one of my builds. Just subscribed to see how much progress you have made. Looks great so far.

[@1by1Brick]

Wow that sounds like quite a build and playable aswell! Hopefully more of the upcoming builds will inspire you, thanks for subscribing! 😊

[@ulriklauridsen2821]

So good!

[@MrJohnLande]

Love it! Great job with build and video production.

[@thehobbit5931]

It's looking increadibly promissing allready! Looking forward to the next episode and final episode offcoarse. Lego could take a page out of your book and make terainsets for these awesome sets.

[@1by1Brick]

Hehe thanks, terrain is parts intensive, lego sets tend to avoid that. Although the terrain build for barad-dur and rivendell did break from that mould abit

[@kingduba420]

Incredible gets my excited to work on my moc ❤

Beautiful!🤩

[@1by1Brick]

Thanks 😊

[@Andy-fd5fg]

Looking good..... can i suggest you raise the castle up by one brick... the back of the castle with the green plates going straight onto the water looks a little odd

[@1by1Brick]

I think it would be easier to swap out the plates, raising it by 1 brick will create new issues at the frontside. Not sure if ill do it though since my aim was to make as little change to the sets as possible to showcase them but those plates do bother me as well 😅

It is an amazing build one of the best I have ever seen

[@1by1Brick]

Thanks!

[@ljtigger9993]

Hey, this project is so cool. But i hate big green panels on the castle. Maybe you could change it to the type of rocks you use for the rest of the build. I think it would look much cleaner

[@1by1Brick]

Yeah i agree but my aim is to create a diorama for the sets so i wanted to make as little change to the sets as possible, I’ll probably detail it abit more, add some rocks on top of the greens since it does bother me aswell 😅

[@Reaper54689]

This is just beautiful work

Will do one for Barad-dur one day 😊

[@DUNDOM5]

Wow, how many bricks did you use so far for this moc? Your rock work is nice

[@1by1Brick]

Thank you, Im guessing around 10-12k at this point, not including the castle

[@Lumpyrox1412]

Can you explain why you place down 2x2 tiles and then large plates over the top of your terrain foundation? Around 1:11 you start doing it. Why do you put the 2x2 tiles down and not just the plates down on top of the pinky/white foundation parts? I hope I make sense

[@1by1Brick]

When large plates are connected to large plates, separating them is very difficult those smaller “buffer” plates are so i can insert the brick separator under to pop off the 8 x 16 plates

[@Lumpyrox1412]

@@1by1Brick So in short, it’s so you can disassemble the build easier after you’re done with it? Does doing it that way create any height challenges with terrain?

[@1by1Brick]

Not really since the technic brick is 1 brick and 1 plate height, adding the buffer plate and top plate turns it into a 2 brick height total. If anything this makes height calculations easier imo

[@Lumpyrox1412]

@@1by1Brick Interesting!!! Thank you so much for sharing! I really value learning about how to construct moc foundations

[@angelg.8850]

¡Hola! ¿Me podrías decir o indicar que piezas son esas columnas que usas al principio del video para que el terreno coja altura? Siempre me llama la atención el poder hacer "estructuras" elevadas en lego pero no sé cuál es la mejor manera para ello, de economizar en piezas.

[@1by1Brick]

Item number 91176 and 95347 i usually buy colorful ones and used since its cheaper, but you need to mix it with brick build columns of either 2 x 4 or 2 x 6 bricks since these pieces on their own are not stable enough, if you look carefully i built multiple types of columns to work together

[@angelg.8850]

@@1by1Brick Si, vi que mezclabas las columnas con esas piezas y con ladrillos al uso. Gracias por la información

[@Just_Some_American]

I’m curious, the large technic pieces under the floor in tan, what sets did those come in?

[@1by1Brick]

Its light nougat and i’m not sure but black ones came in a beatles music band art set and olive green came in colosseum set, but i bought all of it from bricklink, apparently its available on online PAB on lego website if you live in a country that they ship to

[@y3llowgrap371]

What are those technic plates called and where can I get some?

[@1by1Brick]

They are technic brick 16 x 16 x 1 1/3 i got them on bricklink

[@y3llowgrap371]

Thank you! 😃

[@MrJohnLande]

@@y3llowgrap371 Dependong on location/shipping cost. LEGO does also have black and loght nougat currently available via PAB online. Just an FYI

[@livioferrari8075]

Io non so dove trovate i soldi ,i set lego costano sempre di più , è dagli anni 80 che gioco con Lego e da allora ad oggi sono centuplicati i prezzi , sono diventati inavvicinabili ,dovreste ricordarvi e ricordare alla Lego che sono giocattoli non diamanti e non è un prodotto elitario non lo è mai stato ,dovrebbe essere all portata di tutti.
