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.
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.
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!!
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.
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
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❤❤
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!!!
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!
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.
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
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.
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.
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!
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 !
Despite that german accent is pain to my ears, this built is amazing, first castle Ive seen that is on such exposed terrain, all those angles and the creativity behind it - high lvl skill of problem solution that actually lego developing in incredible way, trees look very realistic, very atmospheric built, If I had something like this as a lego fanatic kid that couldnt affort lego box bigger than 10x20cm, I would get heart attack
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!
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....
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.
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!
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.
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!!
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
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!
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
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
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
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.
Would be cool with some automatic "boom barriers" (schranke in German I think) for the rail crossing. Since from what I understand your brother is into electronics stuff it could probably be done with some string to raise and lower them controlled by stepper/servo motors.
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.
Love this! Something you might want to do for the second battle scene is have a camera crane for aerial shots of the scene? It would stick up above the treeline and be visible from a distance.
Those new signals look so good, I feel like the railway crossing needs like automated barriers that move up or down either letting traffic through or blocking traffic depending on wether a train is coming
@@automation7295 yeah Ik I’ve seen both types before some with some without, it just might be nice and cld maybe add more to it if he cld somehow automate them to go up and down
@@rngguardian2801 But since the railway crossing is on a main road, I agree that automated barriers would be nice. For more realism, I'd add a warning sign showing a fence symbol on either sides, indicating railway crossing with barrier.
@@automation7295 yeahhh I love that idea, or you could even have one of those very old fashioned railway crossings where there’s a small house next to it and somebody works in there controlling the level crossing and putting the barriers up and down
This is an amazing build. I can’t imagine the number of hours this took. Incredible imagination as well. You did miss a single detail. Outstanding work. 👍👍
Fun fact, spiral stairs used to rotate to the right so when the castle was invaded it was easier to swing a sword going down stairs (defending the castle) if you were right handed and harder going upstairs
A market place alley with some colored stalls would add some color to the castle area. Maybe in that green space in between the walls. Might be too cluttered though. Love that castle!
Id like to see a little garden center somewhere, with a yard and equipment for loading bulk soil, mulch and rock, and a sales area with container plants
since that exposed tunnel wall is one giant piece of gray blocks you should try adding some form of grafitti that can be seen from the outside by adding colored blocks to represent some sort of pattern side ways. black and red might look really good, some sort of skull patter on a 4x8 height, or other symbol
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
If you want *some* detail on the wall behind the arches, it'd be a great spot for some graffiti! Could even have some rascals with rattle cans either working on it or leaving the area!
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.
To break up the grayness of the castle, it may be good to add some colorful canvas market stalls and carts to go in the castle courtyard, or dotting the outside of the castle. Maybe they can be the decorated with things for the film crew, to stay relevant to the story, so the film set is mildly self sustainable between shots
Castle is really beautiful, but I have to share my three comments. 1) I'm missing gate - two wing wooden door or lifting steel grid door. 2) Stairs should be in opposite direction, as attacking solders fighting way up can't swing their swords in their right hands, and every castle has chapel. But I love it anyway!
I think it would be cool if you turned the castle into a tourist attraction and made it look older and broken down. Its a great way to add some history to your lego city
It would be great to add a miniature with archaeologists not far from the castle. What if they did excavations in a fenced area, they would find pots, weapons, the skeleton of a horse (and not only horses;). I understand that you are doing more of an Austrian city (not France or Britain), but you can imagine that a lost Roman detachment arrived here and add ancient paraphernalia to the excavations. I also don’t really like the way your trees stand, they are too crowded and grow densely. Near the railway the forest is less dense, it looks more natural. Maybe you should add more of a gradient to the arrangement of the trees (nearby trees are larger, and distant ones are smaller and there are more of them in number, this will add to the perspective).
You should probably include a hole somewhere that "leads" into the mountain from the castle as a "secret passageway." Probably have it actually be collapsed, to save on building for a section that might not get seen at all. Maybe some vents for the tunnel as well, for steam to escape from as the trains run through?
I think it would make more sense for the castle to be a tourist attraction with role playing rather than a movie set, where people could go and learn about medieval life.
For the movie set it would be nice seeing a Camera Crane on the external area, maybe some Green or blue Screen or a fake backdrop, and perhaps some trucks and trailers near the road... This would give the scene more things to look for.
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.
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.
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

You are right but you could go to the left

😁😁
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 :)

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

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
Thanks!
Wow Thank you so much!!!
One of the best, detailled and more realistic castle I've ever seen.
The castle area is fantastic! What a great addition to your ongoing layout.

The most perfect your project has ever been. So vivid, so lively, so beautiful. The moving train is amazing!

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.
Would be cool with some automatic "boom barriers" (schranke in German I think) for the rail crossing. Since from what I understand your brother is into electronics stuff it could probably be done with some string to raise and lower them controlled by stepper/servo motors.
That train tunnel leaving it visible is really good idea
What couldn’t possibly get any better just got better!
such a grad finale!
Yea I know - it’s corrected :)
WOW. This is my new favorite update from your channel. The progress over the last year is absolutely amazing.
Maybe a ghost could be added to the Castle? Great job!
I think it would be really cool if there were urban explorers going to the castle and discovering it.
A cute medieval market in the square would be cool. And also a ticket office, and a line of people paying to get in
I think the castle gate needs to be bigger and more defended. Big metal drop gate! Looking fantastic!
The castle looks amazing, just imagine having this as a kid...
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
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.
I love these updates, I look forward to them so much!
The details and building techniques you shown is just unbelievable 🎉 I have never seen a lego city as crazy amazing as this ❤
Should add a caravan to the castle like a dressing room for the actors

A market place alley with some colored stalls would add some color to the castle area. Maybe in that green space in between the walls. Might be too cluttered though. Love that castle!
For lighting, you should add torches throughout the keeps in the castle.
And when you add the lights, make them flicker like real torches
Id like to see a little garden center somewhere, with a yard and equipment for loading bulk soil, mulch and rock, and a sales area with container plants
This city just gets more and more amazing with each video. I love this channel
A dragon’s skull partially buried in the hills would be a cool hidden detail
Like how it assembles like a puzzle but with Lego! 🤩
since that exposed tunnel wall is one giant piece of gray blocks you should try adding some form of grafitti that can be seen from the outside by adding colored blocks to represent some sort of pattern side ways. black and red might look really good, some sort of skull patter on a 4x8 height, or other symbol

I love the castle so much nostalgia, but it would be cool to see some old castle figs like the forest men, mysterio, and the wolf pack
Maybe a cool idea add a camera drone record the fight seen next to the castle
this is amazing as always! I love your videos! Just can you improve the mill that is on the hill? Thank you very much!❤
Your Castle is awesome! I think it look’s better than what most dedicated castle builders 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
Each one of your builds look better than actual Lego sets.

I also don’t really like the way your trees stand, they are too crowded and grow densely. Near the railway the forest is less dense, it looks more natural. Maybe you should add more of a gradient to the arrangement of the trees (nearby trees are larger, and distant ones are smaller and there are more of them in number, this will add to the perspective).
You should probably include a hole somewhere that "leads" into the mountain from the castle as a "secret passageway." Probably have it actually be collapsed, to save on building for a section that might not get seen at all. Maybe some vents for the tunnel as well, for steam to escape from as the trains run through?
2:36 i love the Caliburn/Excalibur reference!!!
dang, this guy is one heck of a builder, keep up the great work
Love how the city is growing up, awesome work !
I think it would make more sense for the castle to be a tourist attraction with role playing rather than a movie set, where people could go and learn about medieval life.
For the movie set it would be nice seeing a Camera Crane on the external area, maybe some Green or blue Screen or a fake backdrop, and perhaps some trucks and trailers near the road... This would give the scene more things to look for.
The night scene looks so pretty.
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.
I'm definitely going to try and use your technique for the hills to put my Lion Knight Castle on!
adding a train stop next to the airport would fit the storytelling!
I cheer for you! I'm really looking forward to it.😊💗
