A great Castle builder and the Great Winter Hunt

The LEGO role-playing community, particularly the French-language castle RPG Feodalis, continues to inspire with impressive builds. Builder Gus (Faëbricks) has showcased House Austren in a series of captivating MOCs, including the recent "Great Winter Hunt.

The build features Lord Galdric and his people in Feuillenoir, their capital, where Duke Bellini arrives with a crossbow. The castle's architecture is remarkable, with vaulted stone arches and a stunning brick-built stag statue that serves as a centerpiece. The statue is particularly striking when illuminated by a window of transparent bricks, perfectly reflecting the Foresters crest.

Gus's latest creation moves away from royal settings, presenting a traditional smokehouse known as a tuyé. This build offers a glimpse into medieval life, with cultural specificity drawn from the Franche-Comté region of France. The triangular smokehouse is expertly constructed, and the surrounding landscaping is equally impressive.

For LEGO builders inspired by these castle creations, consider adding a LEGO baseplate to your collection to provide a solid foundation for your own MOCs.
