Hey thedonald13 , have you made any progress on BrickCon stuff? I finally started my LUG's collaborative project. Hoping to get that "done" within the next couple weeks so that I can start on my part of Grant Davis's collab, and then the classic Redux stuff. Based on time, I'll plan on focusing on the Black Falcon fortress and will do the guarded inn and Wolfpack Tower if I have time, but if someone else wants one of those, feel free. SEdmison biggerjim Classical Bricks David Sir Daren - you guys in on this?

Just started on a couple different BrickCon collabs recently, and looks like I'll be really low on time between now and BrickCon with so much to build and school starting. So unfortunately, it doesn't look like I'll be able to participate. I'll let you know if things change and I can throw something together before then.

SEdmison biggerjim Classical Bricks David Sir Daren - you guys in on this? Another quick question- what are you planning on building for Grant's Collab (the Time Isles)? I'm also participating and possibly building a castle island, but I can do something else if you would prefer to build castle.

Grant tasked me with the castle. Let me know if that's an issue. 😬

I'm not free, sorry. I currently even have my building plans going on hold as I look for work and tackle other projects in RL. And I am actually attending a Ren Fair that weekend, also. And I am just not good enough at multitasking, *sigh*

Were you able to get pics up, Don?

Jest checking in. I was looking at doing an updated model of the alternate build of set 6085. Do you think switching the black for dark grey is too much of a stretch?

If it is an alternate build, you might lose some recognizability if you further stray from the original with dark gray. I'm sure it will look fine though!

I've been working on my other collaborations and am about to start on the Black Falcon's Fortress Redux.
I registered the MOC on BrickCon's scheduling site. Under "special considerations" I put "Castle Collab - Winter Layout". I also entered the dimensions of my large winter section, which is about 300x90 studs. There will be some space that I can allocate to other models on that layout, if you want, or you're welcome to build your "redux" on a winter baseplate to marry up to mine, which is baseplate + brick + plate high.

Perfect. I ended up trying to take a run at the Crusaders 6081 castle. It was terrible ... almost as lame as the original. I will take another shot at in the next couple of days.
Give me a run down of what I am bringing. A boat, couple of armies, 6081?

That should work! I'll have plenty of open space to stage a battle. I have a huge Nexo Knight lava monster horde who I'm planning on squaring off vs my Crown Lions. Additional incursions are welcome!
That reminds me that I need to build the water for your boat! So much to do and so little time, just like every year, lol.
My BF fortress is on standby until I get some yellow arches from a BL order I placed last night. Figured that was a trademark feature that needed to be included in the redux, along with the yellow tudor section.

OK, as of right right now I have a 48x48 & 32x32 with updated 6080 & 6081 builds. They are are on snowy fields and have black borders so they should match.
I have 1 large boat.
Med sized Royal Knights army
Med sized Crusaders army
Large Kindoms Lion army
siege set up and camp set up?
Let me know if I need to cut down or add more in any areas. Lastly, I have a gong ton of cavalry, but I wasn't planning on bringing too many as they they limit space quickly.
