The Colonial Outpost is a great construction from The Brick Time Team. It caught my attention because of the elaborated techniques for building the water, the fine detail of the rocks and most important the micro-detail using round bricks on the walls.

Colonial Outpost
August 31, 2012The Princess Ceinwyn
August 9, 2011Hi everyone. I have been out for some time but returned for a new season of historical posts 
I would like to open this new season in History Bricks with a MOC of one of my favorite builders – Derfel Cadarn. Just look at this princess and how beautiful she is with those incredible details. The whips are definitely my favorite building technique.

Imperial Trading Post
February 27, 2011Great remake of the 6277 Imperial Trading Post built by NewRight. He had done a great job with lots of detail improvements. However, I must say that he forgot to build one storehouse with a crane at the top. Nevertheless the MOC is just awesome!!!

The Fort as Isla D’Or
January 23, 2011This is one more great fortress by 2 Much Caffeine. I loved the technique used to build the roof, the wooden sticks on the wall and how he built the well in the center.

Kingston,1729
November 28, 2010I’ll announce my returning to writing with this awesome seaport by pif500. The small boat it’s a beauty, the jail with a hole in the roof, the details of the buildings, but for me, the cherry in the top of the cake is the bell’s support in the top of the white church.

Rocky Reef Hideout
October 20, 2010Good news this evening! Derfel Cadarn publish a new MOC and I would expect it is an amazing and detailed construction. The concept of the small islands connected with wooden bridges is great but the small house is my favorite spot. The stone walls with the wooden planks remind me a bit of Monkey Island.
See more pictures here.
The Lost Castle
October 12, 2010The Lost Castle is one of the most impressive castle constructions that I ever seen. This masterpiece was built by Tender Shadow and as so many cool details and genius techniques that I don’t know where to start. The bridge is one of my favorites. Look how he built the roof. And look at the tower windows. Look again and see how awesome is the gate.
Definitely The Lost Castle will become one of the best constructions of this year!
