I Built a Black Falcon Castle In LEGO! 

A terrible feeling in moc building is when you start a new build and you place an order for parts and when the come you find out you don’t have enough

‘Olive Green’ + ‘Dark Brown’ make a good colour combination for the ground. Also using Autumn coloured trees like ‘Flame Yellow’ really make the surroundings pop!

And from medieval like castle .I LIKE THIS

Great vid! Will be fun😁 Keep going my friend!

Looks fantastic. Great work. Very inspirational!

Great video and moc can wait for next episode keep in the good work

This details so actually realistic from tower,

I'm super happy for you. I know this is going to turn out amazing!! Working on my own castle right now.. it's been done a little bit, but I really wanted to modify the three in one black falcons castle.. but I'm definitely going in on it..

that looks so good! Very excited to see how it turns out.

Definitely make sure to contact Lego about what's missing, sending replacements will cost them and show them that they need to step it up on their QA The wall looks amazing btw, really love the inside

Cannot wait for the rest of the episodes. Will be taking notes for when I finally build my own castle. Also the was looks amazing! NIce work!

Great techniques that are really well applied. Love it!

Great stuff dude! Thanks for sharing your build process! Keep up the awesome work! 🙌🏼

That’s basically the wall from the helms deeps Uruk hai army set, isn’t it? Although it looks great, so exited for the next parts

The level of detail on this wall is outstanding, just the right amount without going overboard! If I had to make a suggestion, it would be to make the wall a bit taller. Looking forward to seeing this progress further!

Looks great! Comments for the full castle: dont make it too big, keep it smallish and remember to add fun playability functions. Best of luck!

Those clip & bar parts are great for making awesome looking cobblestone pathways as well. Just have a 2x2 rounded plate and a 2x2 rounded plate together and stick on the bar and it makes a fun little build. I personally used it to remake my lion castle entrance

Wow man! Did not disappoint. Super clean build❤ I started disigning mine not that long ago amd it completely got away from me in terms of size.. haha Can be hard to cram so much detail into a smaller moc. Love the episode looking forward to your next!

I LOVE the design of these walls but because of the height, maybe this could be part of your outter walls and your inner walls to your "keep" or more important buildings could be taller. For example: Your markets, housing, and smiths could be enclosed with the outter (shorter) walls while the keep and barracks could be enclosed in the middle of all the markets, housing, etc with inner (taller) walls.

work a few olive green 1x1s or any other earthy coloured plates into the base of the wall to make it look a bit more weathered / mossy. just a tiny bit :D

Finally. I’m hyped to see how you build this, go crazy

Just recently I’ve found the motivation to start preparing to do my first MOC. Your videos serve as great inspiration for me, keep up the great work!

Love it! You should make a tower next!

Beautiful color choices and an amazing detailed build. Absolutely love it and am excited to see more 🤩

Looking great so far! I personally use Harry Potter wands as arrows, they are proportionally more accurate and they look better when a figure holds them!

I am not kidding you I literally went to a lego store and got a bunch of bricks/plates for the beginnings of my black falcon castle from the pab wall :'D!! Also your building skills are amazing!

GoldFyre your builds are flippin AWESOME

wow looks really cool, great job!

Honestly wathcing this makes me want to make something similar. I just ordered a bunch of black falcon minifig parts on PAB along with various armors. Maybe i need a castle to go along with it. Making it ina modular type style would be cool, so you would always be able to add more!

This inspired me to finish a Lego tavern MOC I have been putting off, I'm very excited to see your style applied to a castle, good luck!

I too goofed up in terms of minifig width once. It was when I tried building a vampire coffin... Minifigs can't quite get in because it's too narrow for their torsos due to the arms.

Something you could try to help with either future storage or transportability is making the castle into modular sections, either through pin or clip attachments on the sides. If you ever plan on showing it off at a convention, this would be an absolute Godsend to do. Besides that, I'd recommend downloading the Lion Knights Castle instructions and just looking at some of the techniques it pulls off for inspiration.

looks amazing. On my castle moc, i tried all the time. Thank you for sharing your ideas

Glad you are finally doing this!! I’m really excited! How much episodes are you planning on doing?

I like this so much, it’s so cool

Really brilliant can’t wait for the next episode

That looks fire making me wanna make a lite Moc for my Falcon troops

dang, that looks great!

I hope to see a few small castle builds from you as well, it would be cool to see at least a Raven fort or something for them.

I know it maybe a little more time effort and money, but making your walls modular is a huge help in building and moving your moc. I haven’t regretted it

Never thought someone would be able to get me to sit through a haul but that was thoroughly entertaining. Can’t wait to see how this castle turns out!!

Looking good, love the wooden walk ways

nice, super exited for this series.

Yo I’ve been waiting for this for a while. Love the vids btw. Can’t wait to see the end result.

Dude! So cool! My only suggestion would be to add some vines and weathered details to give the castle more patina. Killer techniques.

Looks great.

An excellent start and another great vid! ~proceeds to open my own PAB order in another window~

looking great, can't wait to see more

I am really excited to see the updates! Great video as always

I’ve been very excited about this series and episode 1 did not disappoint!

Definitely add a goat pen inside when youve finished :D

Love the idea of you making a Castle

perfect timing bc i'm waiting for a pab order for my castle mocs

Great content as Always !!! 😍

Pick a brick is perfect for MOC builders, it’s a useful tool! Excited for the new series!

What I would say for a recommendation is that you should probably put a mounted ballista on a tall watchtower and have a gate house over the drawbridge. That way they can always be someone on guard

Great video!!! Looking forward to seeing more of your castle creations! SUBSCRIBED!!!

Adding a water mill t oyour castle would be pretty cool.

Haven’t watched video yet, but I want to support it with comment…

I would suggest a tower and/or keep, possibly combined, would be really great to add and so would a gatehouse.

It's funny how Bricklink sellers handle counting the parts a lot better than Lego themselves. I've gotten blown away with how good some BL sellers are, yet my last pick a brick was also missing parts. I say dont be afraid to add some lighter tints! Appropriately placed lighter color bricks can really make dark colors pop more. You could use regular tan for hay or straw, for example. (Its also slightly more saturated than dark tan so it also pops in terms of color, not just light level). The opposite is also true. Dark green can be used for foliage accents and smaller detiails to compliment the olive green as it creates more contrast and depth. I would stick to olive as main ground cover color and add dark green in little bits here and there to indicate on shade, depth, perhaps moss or a wetter patch of ground. Reddish or dark brown can also be used for ground details, trees or twigs, etc.

Finally 😊

do you know how long I have waited for this series

Looks awesome! I wish I had a pick a brick website avaiable here in Brazil. Can't wait to see your creation! Do you mind sharing how to build those angled walls? Looks fantastic!

I would add some torches to the walls. The guards need to see during night time.

Cool 😊

I really want to do a windmill.. and I really wish we got another windmill set.. I kind of wanted to make a castle with a little bit of a windmill scene on the side

This was so cool

I got the idea from you to use reddish brown walkways for my castle walls for my castle moc and I am in love with how it looks!

❤love it

Love it man!

Love the upgrade, however you should make the wall s taller and that section of it at the middle a bit wider for the final castle . The 2 2x1 masonry bricks look weird hanging over the sides.

I love this video, I’m gonna have to use some of these ideas. Maybe next time you can make a longer video?? That would be great. Thanks!

Look awesome so far! I get that you say olive green looks more realistic, but its much harder to come by in quantity. I buy from bricklink not the online wall, so what's going around in current sets is mostly all that's available. So i use mostly plain green bricks for foliage. Unrealistic isn't so bad, since, it gives the fantast look. My theme is medieval/fantasy.

Awesome video! Love love love the colors you used and it is very inspirational for my mocs. Are you in the US?

Try adding that indent every other wall piece

Im soooo exited!

Always contact Lego if your PaB order is wrong/missing something. It's literaly one minute and usually they just send you the missing pieces without asking questions. I've reported every second order I think for either something missing (a stupid quiver) or, more often, something damaged (scratched shield, sheep, etc). Always 0 discussion and on the next day I have a new order raised in my name. They also need this feedback to improve on QA. I once reported a not-working Duplo train straight out of the box and they've ordered me a new train and even ordered a courier for me to send them back the damaged train so that they can see what's wrong with it (it turned on but didn't drive).

My big issue with Pick a Brick, is when you order Standard elements. Takes over a month. Enjoyed your Castle build. Great Job!

Love your vids! Maybe for a gate you could use a Lego train motor to make it go up and down automatic

I love this wall! How do you know what to order? Do you use a spreadsheet to calculate, some app (and if so, which one), or just wing it?

Hey goldfyre, you’re videos are just incredible and I’d kill to have your scale of collection😂 can you tell me what whited out surface you use you to record your videos on?

You better make a castle.

40 masonry bricks at ~$.15 is $6 they didn't give you... that's no shrug it off chunk o' change. I usually never have serious problems from pick-a-brick, but I would definitely get ahold of them for 40 pieces.

Good video❤

Amazing! Can you share how you made the slopped part of the middle wall with the window because I think it's not the normal slope.

Looks wonderfull, is there an instruction to the moc or a part list that I can get?

If I were you, I'd not use the Vampire Knight to make generic Fright Knights (he's an updated Basil the Bat Lord, leader of the Fright Knights) & instead use the Series 19 Fright Knight.

👍

Great work! Did you design this first using an app like Studio? Or did you design it after buying the parts? I ask because i'm facing something similar and I'm trying to figure out a good worklow.

Awesome. Would love to see cost of the parts/mocs.

Maybe you can give me the instruction for the castle? Maybe via rebrickable? I am searching a new how for my 200+ army 😅

I did not get 100 light blueish grey masonry bricks and I only got some insider points not even the bricks I wanted

you should make a black falcon knight that he chills out by watering his mini garden maybe use the face of the new goat guy and make hid garden and also a well for his garden

Hi! Kinda unrelated to the video, but I just wanted to ask. Do black falcons still come back to Pick a Brick every once in a while? Last time I checked there were just a few pieces up with no torso or leg pieces.

My favourite Lego colour is olive green but I don’t have many pieces in that colour and most of the plates I have are weird angles

IMO there are never enough "tips and tricks" type vids out there - you could try a small series of those.

Plese a turtorial for the wall

I would contact them aswell since the 40 bricks are close to 33 percent of the bricks

Looks amazing, i might do this on a larger scale
