LEGO CASTLE MOC: NORMAN KEEP 1069 AD

[@hatchetbricks]

The vegetation and river are so beautiful! The level of detail built into the keep is just incredible

[@brickinger_2157]

Thank you my friend, it was very fun to build also!

[@michelhenning9311]

you had me with the Anno 1503 music

[@brickinger_2157]

You recognized it! Yeah this game is a all time classic and definitely a huge source of inspiration

[@paavohirn3728]

I love to see such a lively and detailed moc which also does an incredible job at historical flavor!

[@holstenbricks]

A very nice medieval MOC, close to reality, many convincing details in a harmonious setting.👍

[@brickinger_2157]

Danke Holstenbricks, vielen Dank für dein Lob, es bedeutet mir sehr viel! Weiterhin viel Erfolg bei deiner Burg🤝

[@tardismole]

Wow. Pat yourself on the back. A beautiful build and perfect music to accompany the video.

[@brickinger_2157]

Thank you for the compliments :)

[@letmedrive7220]

Thats probably the Best castle moc I've seen. Great build. You should build it with Real bricks. That must be great fun.

[@brickinger_2157]

Thank you my friend for those heartwarming words! The moment I reunite with my rl bricks, I will want to recreate this castle, but unfortunately it is still a long way to go...

[@johnosaurusrex9496]

Wow 😮

[@magnuslauglo5356]

So many details! I love the colorful interior.

[@brickinger_2157]

Thank you for your support?

[@jeffflank2193]

Almost perfect. Needs an old goat.🐐Kidding it is perfect.🤠

[@brickinger_2157]

Thank you haha! But I can always add the got xD

[@legocastlechannel.8242]

Wow master peace. This is what a medieval keep should look like. Lovely design. Looks very historically accurate. Greeting Lego castle channel.🏰🏰🏰👍

[@brickinger_2157]

Thank you! The castle is inspired by the simple square keep of England and Northern France. Also like your videos! Keep on the hard work 🏰💪

[@jacquesprickaerts8596]

Any chance of this true beauty of a build appearing on rebrickable?? Compliments on the historical authenticity and magnificent integration with the beautiful landscape. Can’t seem to find these arch 1x2 jumper (#38583) in light bluish gray (for the large windows) which makes me think it is a computer model??

[@brickinger_2157]

Well I got a bit distracted while creating the instructions so unfortunately they are far away from getting completed unfortunately. And yeah you're right, it's a computer model because I live abroad and I couldn't bring my lego with me xD. If you want further information you can always dm me on my insta

[@nolanjordi]

WOW this castle is brutal!! Keep up the fantastic work!!!😁😁🤩

[@brickinger_2157]

Thank you mate! There is more in preparation 😉

[@Skipro]

So awesome I am at 2:27 so impressed loved the scarecrow…I just saw the Lego Viking long boats which had the capability of coming from the ocean down rivers which caught the English by surprise would be a cool battle to have some long boats vs the army of serfs and whatever nobility is around your keep

[@brickinger_2157]

This would indeed be a great scene to appreciate! Unfortunately, I think that the river is too small to fit a longboat in it :(

[@Hylian_Grouch]

From one castle builder to another I got to say this looks pretty sweet. Especially like the natural look of the river. Very nice! (Also less than one second in to your vid I know it will be good with the sfx from rammstein)

[@brickinger_2157]

Thank you for the overwhelming feedback 🙌 the river comes out very good but it's a very easy and lazy building technique 😅 and nice job on recognizing the rammstein intro💪💪

[@brickknight8611]

Great build 👍👍 both interior n exterior are pack with details 😍😍

[@brickinger_2157]

Thank you mate! I'm glad that my pc didn't crash rendering all these bricks... 😅

[@jonsix1928]

Love it, thanks for sharing

[@brickinger_2157]

Thank you mate!

[@WearilyMistaken]

Me *building a house to have proper defensive jettying: am I a joke to you?

[@brickinger_2157]

😂😂

[@kalkulon2746]

Good job, Sir.

[@brickinger_2157]

Thank you mate!

[@spikepig76]

Great job! I'm working on my first castle build as an adult, and this is a good source of inspiration!

[@brickinger_2157]

Than I am glad that I couild help 😉 good luck with your castle!

[@leonieberton862]

I just discovered your channel, you're doing a great job mate!

[@NarutoUzomaki65]

Too good, love it!

[@brickinger_2157]

Thx ;)

[@lemondedelila9740]

Wouah !

[@brickinger_2157]

Merci !

[@LordHoseung]

Hmm can this be built in real life like Guédelon Castle in France? Anyone want to start a crowdfunding source?

[@brickinger_2157]

This would be insane!

[@Обыватель-н2л]

Это великолепно!!!

[@reobrix-building-blocks]

Hi, we are Reobrix, a leading building block manufacturer in China. We deeply admire your work and would love to collaborate on an exciting new project. Could we discuss the possibility of purchasing some of your designs?

[@makroute3003]

un plan de construction et des pièce nécessaire est-il prevu ? super travail je suis fan ^^

[@brickinger_2157]

Alors j'ai eu quelques imprévus dans la créations du plan de construction, je suis donc encore loin de la finalisation du plan. Mais je m'aperçois que beaucoup de personnes aimeraient les instructions, je pourrais donc me remotiver 😉 je partagerais l'information probablement sur mon insta... Et merci pour le compliment !

[@brickinger_2157]

Alors j'ai des nouvelles: Les instructions sont disponibles sur rebrickable :) rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-153544/brickinger_/norman-keep/#details

[@Legofan5000]

I love your mocs do you think you'll make another one soon?

[@brickinger_2157]

Thanks mate! Yes, I am currently in the making of another medieval MOC :)

[@Legofan5000]

@@brickinger_2157 I'll, make sure and check that out when your done

[@neilworroll9278]

Will you publish the instructions for this great castle build ?

[@brickinger_2157]

A lot of people are requesting instructions so I think that I will be forced to finalize them haha, I'll let you know of my plans on my insta

[@neilworroll9278]

Please give me a heads up when the instructions are available. This set is the best representation of the period I’ve ever seen. Keep in touch.

[@brickinger_2157]

@@neilworroll9278 Here you go, as promised: rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-153544/brickinger_/norman-keep/#details

[@XaeeD]

Really curious; what software are you using to make these mocs? I use *Lego Digital Designer* but it's outdated and not as clean looking as your images.

[@brickinger_2157]

I use Bricklink Studio.2. Its free and it gets regularly updated. And it is as simple to use!

[@XaeeD]

@@brickinger_2157 Thanks for the response! I'll download it and have a look.

[@Joe-cr6uq]

Female soldiers in Norman times?

[@stjtjsrl1]

감옥인가?

[@brickinger_2157]

영국의 성이에요

[@adamwee382]

This is my favorite for sure, I love the buttresses

[@brickinger_2157]

Thanks! They give a lot more strength to the tower 💪

[@ΠαναγιωτηςΟρφανος-ν4β]

do you have instruction ?

[@brickinger_2157]

I dont sell the instructions but you are able to by the MOC on medievalbrick.com if you are interested :)

[@brickinger_2157]

And now you can also check out the instructions on rebrickable: rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-153544/brickinger_/norman-keep/#details

[@Raventommm]

What kind of torso did you use for the soldiers?

[@brickinger_2157]

I used the torso from the 2008/9 castle series. But instead of using the blue arms I used grey ones

[@PunchandJewelee90]

hello! Amazing moc, definitely a good inspiration for a kingdom moc I am planning on making (although mine uses a lot of official sets/rebrickable alt builds, with my own modifications) I’m just wondering, what size baseplates did you use? i’m assuming 32 x 32 x 10 but I may be wrong. Thank you!

[@brickinger_2157]

Thank you and your project sounds neat! I used 3x3 baseplates à 32x32 studs :)

[@paul-henriseve1113]

Awesome amount of details ! Congrats !

[@brickinger_2157]

Thanks you my friend!

[@peterthelord-s9l]

Do you know How many bricks you have used for the keep alone? Great work!

[@brickinger_2157]

Thanks! I think that I used around 7000 bricks for the keep alone

[@numberonedad]

why can't i find the cat with the face in studio?? it's just blank

[@brickinger_2157]

Yeah I am currently struggling with this issue as well. I guess studio has some problems with printed parts at the moments, it's quite frustrating. Printed torsos and tiles also don't show up

[@qweeress]

id like to see this building in lego ideas

[@brickinger_2157]

Yeaah this would be great! Unfortunately lego would not authorize as many pieces...

[@칼리스테]

Really good

[@brickinger_2157]

Thx😊
