I also love working my MOCs with limitations. I don’t have a very massive selection of parts so I usually go out and buy one set of similar colors and then work with those pieces and my personal collection. It’s always a fun challenge. I’ve just been finishing my helms deep MOC and would love to post it to TH-cam but really struggle to find time for editing/recording. Maybe one day haha !
Love this little village, every build in it is awesome to see come together. Also, I'm absolutely taking notes frame-by-frame on that roof attachment design. Gonna see if I can adapt it to my own medieval farmhouse. Here's hoping this moc finally gets finished.
I love your approach and design philosophy. Use what you have is the essence of building with LEGO. When I build a MOC, I usually try to build as much as I can with what I have before ordering anything. Also, don't go too big. I know that MOCs with tens of thousands of bricks can look awesome, but the art lies with using few bricks to get a result. I also try to recycle parts of existing sets. The Bonsai Tree is a great example. Get it on sale and you have a minifig-scale tree, dark brown for a house or a bridge, 1x1 round tiles for a natural looking stone path and even black tiles to diorama-tise the build (and a truckload of frogs...).
Great video! The roof at 3:49 actually looks really cool in my opinion, i think it adds a lot of character to the house, and i wouldn't say it looks out of place at all. With some extra detail so it's not all exposed studs on the top, i think you could very much re-use it for a future project
Just now watching this, first of all great builds! Secondly, I love the tips and life lessons you included in this, bc they inspired me to start building a moc I've been stuck on for a while now. Keep up the awesome videos!
I am in the EXACT same position with masonry bricks!!! Spent my time making custom trees today but now I think I will try making a muddy foundation for a castle structure of some kind.
A good way to take parts from old builds without destroying them is finding where you can replace 2 pieces with 1.For instance, 2 1x2 plates of the same color side by side (including if it would be side by side by side if you rotated the build, but not including if the plates aren't parallel both directions) could be replaced with a 2x2 or 1x4 plate of the same color.
Dark tan is a brilliant color for castles. I'm using a heap of it on my own castle right now. "I don't care because it's pretty" is a perfect justification. 10.10. Personally, I'd have used 2x2 round brick log for the roof, but that's entirely personal taste. Love the build, will be stealing the convex end wall method.
Some ideas for your fantasy world: 1. The Undersea Princess: She can be made by taking the Harry Potter mermaid and adding gold shoulder pads, a gold hip piece, a gold trident, and a pair of legs that matches her skin tone. 2. The Monster-Slaying Female Barbarian: She should be very muscular with spiked shoulder pads, a tattered cape, and a massive silver-tipped spear. 3. The Steam-Powered Wood-Cutting Machines: These massive vehicles, used for cutting down trees, can be made using the Hover Hunters from Ninjago.
Very cool, love the tree. And I really like the smaller scale buildings, it helps make the castle sets out now seem impressive and to scale. My biggest gripe about the ideas blacksmith house is it doesn't scale to the 3 in 1 castle or lion knights castle. Can't wait to see more, keep up the good work
Nicely done my good man lol I'm with you most definitely on not having the right pieces to create a nice lego set I just recently tried making a viking long house cause I'm excited about the new viking village coming up in October 7th but will not be able to complete it cause I need more parts
Came back here to tell that I'm thankful for you making this video because I've been struggling with making triangle roofs for my peasant houses I made a few small changes for mine, adding hinge pieces with 1x2 above them under the roof so it doesn't fall off as easily and removing the log Again, thanks
Wow! That looks amazing! Though I do agree that you do not need to buy pieces to build a MOC, but when you physically have no bricks, it sux. Anyways, cool video! Keep up the good work!💪💪💪
I build all of my Mocs just from the Bricks I have. I hope that someday this Style of building will get more recognition since its much harder than just placing another BrickLink Order as soon as you lack some Bricks. Great Video man and thank you so much for the Comment under one of my Videos few Weeks ago!
Man, i cant believe you think you suck at mocs. I could never build anything like this, im great at building the sets, like LKC, but I would crumble trying to build a moc.
I've been designing a Medieval Village thinking on what a Frankish Village would've looked like (harder than you'd think, not a lot of information). Trying to keep it Small, which is hard to do for me because my friend calls me "the engineer" because I literally tried making a working transmission in a Lego Type 97 Chi-Ha Tank built to accurate size XD caused me some sleepless nights. So I've been trying to keep it small and cheap, used skyrim buildings as a reference point for different buildings, and come to find out, not what Medieval Village Hovels looked like since Stone you had to be SUPER wealthy as a peasant to own, so I'm up shit creek without a paddle lol, god forbid my Spur Castle (Hill Castle for anyone who doesn't know), and that's a whole other nightmare.
@Goldfyre do you have any plans to extend the village? Also maybe you put the village in like a Mils baseplate? I know Mils baseplates are mainly for lego city, but I think it could work as a display for a Lego Castle world, but just an idea.
I do have plans to revisit certain aspects of the build and expand it. I am personally not a big fan of MILS baseplates but I do plan on creating a medieval layout sometime in the future.@@Kix-w9d
Me:trying to leave funny comment in hope that one day when this guy has hundreds ot thousands of subs I'll be able to mooch a little by having a pinned comment.... Also me: cool video bro the tiny houses look amazing. 😎
windows in medievle times where for a farmer inpossible afforteble and stone was also very expensive but it looks good and it doesn(t need to be perfect so good job the lime walls are realistic tho.
Dude this is super cool!!! I love how you used only the pieces you already have and didn’t try to make something giant.
Yeah I love that, ppl always go for giant and blocky but he goes for detail and that makes it amazing ❤
Hyped for the new village set
I also love working my MOCs with limitations. I don’t have a very massive selection of parts so I usually go out and buy one set of similar colors and then work with those pieces and my personal collection. It’s always a fun challenge. I’ve just been finishing my helms deep MOC and would love to post it to TH-cam but really struggle to find time for editing/recording. Maybe one day haha !
I have a small limitation of parts and I don’t like buying new ones so this is very helpful on showing technical and stuff
Oh man i'd love to see a custom helms deep moc! You've gotta post it
Love this little village, every build in it is awesome to see come together. Also, I'm absolutely taking notes frame-by-frame on that roof attachment design. Gonna see if I can adapt it to my own medieval farmhouse. Here's hoping this moc finally gets finished.
Yeah I’m also taking notes
Honestly just try and lock it in with basic plates. It was surprisingly simple once i got them to slot together. Good luck 😁
This is so cool mate! It’s making me super excited to get to work on my next medieval vid!
That’s cool didn’t know you’re into medieval
Can't wait!
Thanks for the MOC tips. It's all about creativity and thinking outside the box.
You do not suck at building Mocs they look awesome
Thanks! There's always room to improve though.
These MOCs look fantastic!

I've been eyeing up the bonsai for so long for parts! Its a great set and honestly pretty fairly priced.
Wow. The minifigs are so nice. I love the bakery details and the mushrooms around the tree.
Thanks! 😁
Beautiful MoCs! I love the design and working within constraints always gives these types of mocs a nice charm to them!
Dude, SW Bricks AND Ghiojo watch Goldfyre? Nice to know the channels I watch are watching each other.
Thanks! It was a real struggle during some parts (roof) but i'm so glad i finished the project.
Great video! The roof at 3:49 actually looks really cool in my opinion, i think it adds a lot of character to the house, and i wouldn't say it looks out of place at all. With some extra detail so it's not all exposed studs on the top, i think you could very much re-use it for a future project
Dude got deep philosophical as hell all while using Lego as a backdrop
I can’t believe you say you aren’t good at mock building when you are the best mock builder I’ve seen
This looks so good!!! i've been watching your videos recently and i'm amazed by what you've done. i loved the tree in this build!
Thanks a ton!
Just now watching this, first of all great builds! Secondly, I love the tips and life lessons you included in this, bc they inspired me to start building a moc I've been stuck on for a while now. Keep up the awesome videos!
I'm so glad the video gave you that little push to get back to your moc! 😁
These turned out really nicely! I love the little well you made
Thanks!
It would be awesome if you made a whole series about this village. With buildings with few pieces, just like these ones .
I am in the EXACT same position with masonry bricks!!! Spent my time making custom trees today but now I think I will try making a muddy foundation for a castle structure of some kind.
I really gotta get some! The only ones i have are super yellowed on the "brick" side.
I love this. I don’t make any mocs because my part collection isn’t even enough to make a four walled small home. This was just sick though!
Thanks! Try starting small if you want to get into building MOCS. You'd be surprised what you can do with a limited selection.
Love this! Also love your tips for using what you have and to just keep building, quite inspirational and spot on!
Instant sub, I can respect anyone who builds Mocs with there own pieces on this scale!
Ayy I really appreciate it. More mocs coming soon 😁
A good way to take parts from old builds without destroying them is finding where you can replace 2 pieces with 1.For instance, 2 1x2 plates of the same color side by side (including if it would be side by side by side if you rotated the build, but not including if the plates aren't parallel both directions) could be replaced with a 2x2 or 1x4 plate of the same color.
Makes me wanna make a medieval moc now! Amazing job.
Dark tan is a brilliant color for castles. I'm using a heap of it on my own castle right now.

Awesome, very inspiring. Currently building a few mocs for stop motion and giving me some great ideas here. Love the Bakery even if it is tiny.
Thanks!
Very cool, love the tree. And I really like the smaller scale buildings, it helps make the castle sets out now seem impressive and to scale. My biggest gripe about the ideas blacksmith house is it doesn't scale to the 3 in 1 castle or lion knights castle. Can't wait to see more, keep up the good work
Thanks! I love the ideas blacksmith but really do prefer smaller buildings.

Such cool builds! love how you explained about the parts, really inspired me to build!
Glad to that!

I made a few small changes for mine, adding hinge pieces with 1x2 above them under the roof so it doesn't fall off as easily and removing the log
Again, thanks
Awesome work, inspiring me to work on a castle moc!
Go for it!
do you have instructions or at least a list of pieces? I need more houses for my village and this would look wonderful!!!
Im doing the same now and also almost didnt start due to limit bricks. This looks great.
Looks awesome!
Thank you :)
Woah that tree is super cool
Thanks! 😁
Moc idea 💡
Remade yellow castle same size but in new style and a bit destroyed
Yellow, gold or tan colurs
Awesome village
Thanks! :)
Wow! That looks amazing! Though I do agree that you do not need to buy pieces to build a MOC, but when you physically have no bricks, it sux. Anyways, cool video! Keep up the good work!💪💪💪
Thanks!
Love your tips
That build is amazing! I have a ton of masonry bricks and you gave me a lot of inspiration so I might try something similar
Go for it!
This is a great video! well cone!
Hey thanks man!

I couldn't agree more!
New vidddd I love your content castle 2024 🙏
#castle2024
Im the First!!!!! Because i like so much your videos!!!🤩🤩
i love your tree as i am horrible at building trees but i am getting better from training and looking at other trees from other builders.
Hey man I know it’s been a few months but I think it’s good enough to make directions for because I for one would build it
Nice job
U have instructions for the bakery?
Love it!
The wealthy merchant with white hair and beard instantly got me thinking of John Travolta. Jus saying. Haha
6:18 came for the lego builds stayed for the deep philosophy. Spit your shit my brother.

Bro this is sick! New sub lol
😁
Great video but is the village going to be in your lore? Also i love the smaller scale and the design of the buildings.
Yup! its a small village on the outskirts of the Falconcove Port.
@Goldfyre do you have any plans to extend the village? Also maybe you put the village in like a Mils baseplate? I know Mils baseplates are mainly for lego city, but I think it could work as a display for a Lego Castle world, but just an idea.

You should post this on lego ideas
You do not Dissapointed I saw this vid after the video you js earned urself a follower Great vid🎉❤
Thank you so much!
You are very welcome Amazing vid🔥🎊
NICE VID I’m gonna be your subscriber until the end
😁
It's a bold farmer who sleeps with a giant open flame next to his bed in his tiny wooden house.
lol

Thank you so much!

what is the name of this lego set?
epic!!
I'm not good at making buildings, but I'm pretty good at making mechanical things that only work in-universe.
rad
Wait, a castle in a swamp? Why do I suspect you watched Monty Python and the Holy Grail?
If you do a mid evil castle I’ll sub
I've got multiple planned :)
proudly own the original :)
Так вот как собирать лего дома!
BEAUTIFUL builds, but not the biggest fan of the thumbnail.
Hi.
Yo.
@@Goldfyre yo
I hope they don’t bring back the Lego goat. It will KILL their current value
and? Everyone should be able to get a lego goat if they want one for mocs without needing to spend 100$ on one.
Eventually you'll find out to see that Lego will make another goat piece it's inevitable.
Under 50 minutes
👇🏻
Why do you talk so fast
This gave me so much inspiration!
I'm so glad to hear that
