As the castle is a film set it'd be great to have the various trailers / trucks that usually accompany a film set, they could be stationed in a cleared out area of the forest. You could add a catering truck, makeup trailer, various set pieces being worked on and general film crew wondering around who aren't directly involved in the shoot.
Trust me. On a film set there is more than one food truck. It is funny how many different food trucks they get in. These updates just amaze me. Your natural talent for MOCs is another level.
Would be cool if you added a gold glow coming from where the sword is stuck into the rock using LEDs! Would make it stand out more as storytelling. It’s a bit hard to see what it is from a distance. Love the castle!!
To draw people’s attention more to the fact that the battle is a film you could add a little “camp” in a forest clearing somewhere nearby with the cast and crew’s trailers and equipment. Extra costumes lying about, actors in the process of getting in and out of costume, actors and crew members eating snacks on their breaks, etc.
Though please get a little bit of historical information about castles, as the castle is unrealistic in pretty much any way. 1. The entrance is way too small, usually castles have a big gate house sitting on top with additional towers to the sides of it, making up the most well defended part of a castle. (Often has a "zwinger" too.) Because the entrance is a castle's biggest weakness. 2. The castle keep is a very unefficient combination of a "Bergfried" and a "keep". The keep is the main part of an English castle where the castle's inhabitants live in. It's a big building with thick walls, surrounded by towers and other defensive structures. A Bergfried is solely military with no room to live in and is always by far the biggest tower of the castle. The creator most likely didn't understand the differences as he is German and Google unfortunately translates "Bergfried" to "keep", which is simply wrong. 3. Most castles were actually plastered (and especially this one) so you would have at least seen remains of that. 4. All of the walls need to be much thicker. 5. The battlements need to be much bigger to actually serve a purpose. 6. The castles and especially the main tower should be located on the highest part of the hill. 7. The walls and attack surface should be kept to a minimum, this castle has strategically unlogically placed walls that literally surround nothing but air. [Put buildings inside!!!] 8. The castle has absolutely no economical purpose, as there are no buildings for workers to live or work in. This is the reason castles were built in the first place, they were used for generating wealth: For example workers could live there for free and in return the goods they produce would be sold. Or they have people collecting taxes for imports to the kingdom. Royals don't generate wealth out of nothing and then build huge, incredibly expensive, defended structures just to live safely.
@@BDD_Builds No, the creator has been working on this project for several years and realism has always been a top priority. Also I never meantioned anything about the scale nor did I say that he should have used any reallife materials. I said that in the middle ages castles were often plastered, so they didn't actually have exposed brick walls, but rather brown/white walls instead. Maybe you get what I meant now.
Just a suggestion but if your going for an old castle that has been sitting for a while and is now being used I would recommend a hole in one of the walls with bricks falling out!! Love the series keep it up❤❤
I have known that Lego has a huge fanbase and I was a fan as a child but yours is the first channel that I 'need' to watch and has seriously made me contemplate entering back in to the hobby at 37 yrs old. I am just so invested in your museum! Maybe when it is done I will travel from England to see it in person. Thank you for the entertainment you provide x
So all the guards have to walk through the princess's bed chamber to get and return weapons from the armory? Seems like a great idea! Hopefully she's not changing her clothes.
Suggestion: I think having a campsite in the forest would be a cool idea. It’s a good way to have a light source in that area for the nighttime scene. Love the work! I’ve been invested in this for over a year!!!
Rather than add cameras, might it be fun to see the other battle scene as staff and actors milling about between takes or scenes? They could be chatting and drinking cups of coffee, tending to the horse, having their make-up done, getting into costume, setting up props, stuff like that? Incredible work as always!
There is definitely a european vibe to the whole city so maybe in the forest a menhir or megalithic graves to show some really ancient history. some roman elements maybe as well? like an old roman road peeking through in certain parts of the city
You know, it occurs to me how amazing a fantasy medieval layout would look in this style! Drawing inspiration from the new DnD set, you could tell an entire story of an adventuring party starting out in a small tavern and working their way to the final boss dragon or wizard in an epic castle tower!
1:44 no one would ever have an armory on the second floor like this, climbing up the ladder to get geared up only to then climb back down is very inefficient 😅 Great progress!
A quick historical note for medieval castle spiral staircases. They usually twist up and to the right. This was to give the occupants of the tower a greater chance at defense as they would be wielding their swords right-handed and thus have an advantage over would-be invaders who struggled to reach around the corner to fight.
The Crocodile Locomotive is one of my favourite Trains Lego has released but I definitely feel that it needs to have those gaps between the cabin and engine areas covered up like what JangBricks did
This is amazing. Just one small detail and you don't have to pay attention to it, but at every castle the stairs spiral spins from left to right (if you know what i mean). It was built that way in case of enemy invison. The defenders could easily use their weapons as most of the population is and was right handed and it was harder fot the attackers to use theirs while climbing the stairs. Just a fun fact. I love your videos and please don't stop building. You're to talented
Dude, this is a sick update to the Lego city! One thing I feel would fit so well would be a cherry blossom tree, especially if it’s somewhere on/near the mountain
Castle like that would be a good tourist attraction, would be neat to see a gift shop/tour bus etc. Or even a Renaissance fair happening would be awesome, it would make sense having everyone dressed up for the area.
for the battle on the wall you could possibly add a camera drone filming above the battle to show the comedic gap in technology between the actors and the film crew even more!
Something cool to add to the landscape around the castle would be an abandoned quarry, castles were almost always built near a quarry for ease of getting the amount of stone they needed. It would be a neat historical storytelling element to the set. And it would help break up the landscape into something more visually interesting than hills and trees.
You could add a team of workers doing 'yearly' maintenance on the thrai arches or the wall. Orange pieces could add a bit of colour to the all-grey wall.
for the nighttime in the forest it would be cool to have a campsite somewhere and it can have a fire that lights up and a camping trailer with lights or something like that. i’m loving the castle!!
I am in Germany and couldn’t wait to see your museum. Unfortunately it is closed the week I am in your town. Can’t wait for you to get it fully up and running !
I think it would work better if the sord in the stone was off to the side in the forest along a small path...i feel that it is too close to the castle and loses its magical vibe. Otherwise, great work! I've been watching the series for over two years now and have loved the progress!
Perhaps you could add scaffolding and people repairing one of the castle towers so they can make it look like "new" for the movie they are filming there.
I always love the little elements. The cart in the outside Battle scene is so good. I'd be really curious to see more of the design honestly to try and build it myself
Great progress update. Love the changes! Two suggestion for your castle. One, make the keep into a gatehouse and build another (larger) keep at the back on a moot to hide the wall. The keep only needs to be a false-front (i.e., only the face of the keep). Two, build a smithy, stables and other out buildings in the bailey so they can be seen easier.
castle stairways are always the other way around (clockwise). you dont want to have somebody thats climbing up the stairs to have space to swing their sword.
Debunked, for reasons like "if enemies where in your castle you already lost" And "around 30% of castle stairways where counter-clockwise" so it's not the majority but it still proves it doesn't matter
That is just a myth. Most Castles have stairways in both directions. Also it’s not feasible to defend your castle on a staircase due to several reasons. First, if your enemy is at your keep, you already lost. They don’t even have to fight, cause you can no longer reach fresh water, which is outside of the keep. So, they just have to wait. And second, fighting downwards is a way bigger disadvantage than the rotation of the staircase. Upwards you can easily defend your head with the sword. Just hold it above your head horizontally. But downwards just enemy can hit your legs without a problem.
6:55 u could add railway crossing barriers that are falling down each time the train passes. It would be tough to do but it would look absolutely amazing.
not sure if this would work but for when you open it up to people it would be cool to be able to easily see the various buildings interiors as you put so much effort and they look great. Not sure how you would do it, you could allow people to walk behind the moc, in order to see in from the back but I'm sure you could figure it out. Thanks for all the great videos and keep up the great work!
Serious work with block signals of the train network... Also glad trains will have lightning too because the locos cries for some working headlights (that will light up the inside of tunnels, requiring more detailing of these otherwise unseen spots.... ;) ) The castle is superb, very realistic in it's defensive design. Also the "movie filming" makes me think you could actually shoot stop motion movies in your lego city (once finished). There are so many stories to be told here, so many "shooting locations" possible....
my suggestion is maybe to have some trailers and stuff outside of the castle to imply that's where the cast and crew sleep or spend their time when not shooting
With all the trains and different biomes, it would be cool to have an Easter egg for Lego Loco, the 1998 Lego PC game. Maybe one of those hand-cranked traincarts, the iconic conductor minifigure, a big blue mushroom, or a pink fir tree.
It would be interesting to add a couple of Renaissance and Baroque buildings to complete the transition from the modern city to the medieval castle. This would demonstrate that the city also held significance during the 15th to 18th centuries.
This was such build was so amazing, thank you for all your videos, you make my day and inspire me with each one. Keep up the great work and have an amazing day
The stuck sword is a really cool idea. All that's missing is a couple peasants trying their hardest to pull it out.
It'd be funny to 3d print a little in-scale brick separator for them to be using.
or torists
List. Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government!
A brick separator is suck a good idea
Fortnite
As the castle is a film set it'd be great to have the various trailers / trucks that usually accompany a film set, they could be stationed in a cleared out area of the forest. You could add a catering truck, makeup trailer, various set pieces being worked on and general film crew wondering around who aren't directly involved in the shoot.
Basically my suggestion in last video, the castle seems to overgrown and hard to get to for such a well maintained and used place
Trust me. On a film set there is more than one food truck. It is funny how many different food trucks they get in.
These updates just amaze me. Your natural talent for MOCs is another level.
Student film?
A big Technocrane would be a great addition to a movie set of this scale
@@martinbecker2164 Student films don't have money for full on period piece costumes in large quantities, along with so many actors.
Would be cool if you added a gold glow coming from where the sword is stuck into the rock using LEDs! Would make it stand out more as storytelling. It’s a bit hard to see what it is from a distance. Love the castle!!
You are right but you could go to the left
To draw people’s attention more to the fact that the battle is a film you could add a little “camp” in a forest clearing somewhere nearby with the cast and crew’s trailers and equipment. Extra costumes lying about, actors in the process of getting in and out of costume, actors and crew members eating snacks on their breaks, etc.
This castle is simply phenomenal, but I really hope you make an entire medieval layout in the future! It would look soooo good!

@@Dr_ShadowTime yeah agreed! note that he isn't German but Austrian though ;)
this guy is the "Bob Ross" of Lego! and I love it!
Just a suggestion but if your going for an old castle that has been sitting for a while and is now being used I would recommend a hole in one of the walls with bricks falling out!! Love the series keep it up❤❤

In the forest surrounding the castle you could maybe add the “we’ll call it a draw” scene from Monty Python, and maybe some vines on the castle walls
Not to mention the French castle scene: "I fart in your general direction!!"
Oh yeah, and the falling barn animals too!!😂
A one legged Knight... "'''tis but a scratch!"
monthy phyton is shit, gtfo with that
Just a suggestions - why not add couple of sea buoys with lights on them? After dark water area seems pretty dark :)

The City at night looks spectacular great job with the lighting ,it really adds the the atmosphere. The castle looks complete , great gob.
such a grad finale!
Yea I know - it’s corrected :)
I'm so into the flags on the castle! Could be a fun opportunity to represent different colors with little easter eggs in future videos
You know, it occurs to me how amazing a fantasy medieval layout would look in this style! Drawing inspiration from the new DnD set, you could tell an entire story of an adventuring party starting out in a small tavern and working their way to the final boss dragon or wizard in an epic castle tower!
Random idea, you could add a few screens to the museum playing your videos to show the whole process and also all cool details. 🤔
Also screens with POV from the trains.
Definitely this! Eg in the entrance while people are waiting to come in.
Timelapse would be great
The trains need lights on them! The city looks amazing!
1:44 no one would ever have an armory on the second floor like this, climbing up the ladder to get geared up only to then climb back down is very inefficient 😅

So much talent on display here. Fantastic layout. My favourite lego world for sure.
Maybe a ghost could be added to the Castle? Great job!

It's so cool to see the unplated hillside next to the one with plates! It's like stepping forward into HD!
I always love the little elements. The cart in the outside Battle scene is so good. I'd be really curious to see more of the design honestly to try and build it myself
I think it would be really cool if there were urban explorers going to the castle and discovering it.
I love these updates, I look forward to them so much!

What couldn’t possibly get any better just got better!
That train tunnel leaving it visible is really good idea
Make a PARKING LOT for the Airport!
The nightscape is breakthtaking. Thank you for sharing!!
Yesss a new episode!!! I love your content sooo much ❤
Absolutely Beautiful!
The most perfect your project has ever been. So vivid, so lively, so beautiful. The moving train is amazing!
Absolutely amazing.
I think my favorite view is at night. It looks so cool. The airport should look great at night. They are always super lit up.
castle stairways are always the other way around (clockwise). you dont want to have somebody thats climbing up the stairs to have space to swing their sword.
That what i was thinking, its definetly not very defandable
Debunked, for reasons like "if enemies where in your castle you already lost"
And "around 30% of castle stairways where counter-clockwise" so it's not the majority but it still proves it doesn't matter

I think the castle looks amazing, but the keep ought to be a larger building than the towers are. Definitely keep the banners, they're lovely!
I agree. Amazing, but the keep could be larger and have more interior
Excellent as always!
I cheer for you! I'm really looking forward to it.😊💗
Love how the city is growing up, awesome work !
Great stuff as always!
This city just gets more and more amazing with each video. I love this channel
6:55 u could add railway crossing barriers that are falling down each time the train passes. It would be tough to do but it would look absolutely amazing.
adding a train stop next to the airport would fit the storytelling!
Simply amazing

Epic as always
2:36 i love the Caliburn/Excalibur reference!!!
Time flies so fast, it feels like yesterday when i watched you move into your new space.
GG for completing this amazing project.
A cute medieval market in the square would be cool. And also a ticket office, and a line of people paying to get in

The details and building techniques you shown is just unbelievable 🎉 I have never seen a lego city as crazy amazing as this ❤
Wow, amazing idea with the arches.
I love what you’re doing! Keep it up! I’ll be here
outstanding. every upload is great
Great work looking good
Only real fans were here before the spelling mistake was fixed.
🖐️Same
"grad finale" lol
yeah lol
yup
@@CloudBrickStudios no 'Caste' 'Grad' has means of city or castle in other languages lol
Looking really good matey
This is Incredible
I think ruins scattered around would add a cool layer of history. Some WW1 shelters, this castle, WW2 bunker, cold war etc
The idea of the arch was insanely good
The night scene looks so pretty.
You continue your reign as the premier city builder on TH-cam. My only complaint is you don’t upload more often 👍🏻👍🏻
This is my favorite video you've made!
Looks great brother
Like how it assembles like a puzzle but with Lego! 🤩
A dragon’s skull partially buried in the hills would be a cool hidden detail
This is awesome! I think it would be really cool if you made a more modern city with skyscrapers
Would be cool to see a camera drone at 5:10 with some transparent bricks to hold it up
Love your works.
my suggestion is maybe to have some trailers and stuff outside of the castle to imply that's where the cast and crew sleep or spend their time when not shooting
Awesome build 👏.
another banger. luv u
It’s beautiful!
Absolutely epic build!
😋👍 you are one of the best lego city builder's. And your mountains and trees are amazing. 😝 I love your story telling with the mini figures
Awesome! Now it would be a cool if a little boy tries to get the sword out of the stone and a family is cheering him on and or photographing him.
With all the trains and different biomes, it would be cool to have an Easter egg for Lego Loco, the 1998 Lego PC game. Maybe one of those hand-cranked traincarts, the iconic conductor minifigure, a big blue mushroom, or a pink fir tree.
