It took nearly four years (mostly due to a three-year hiatus in the middle), but I finally finished the interior of my custom City Hall
A modular castle MOC that I've built recently as a present for my six years old pal that I use to play with quite a lot (or just my nephew if you will ;) ). It includes a main gate with working drawbridge and portcullis, foldable walls and lots of space to place and pose the minifigures. As much as I could, I was trying to achieve the look and feel of the old LEGO castles that I played with as a kid back in the 80s and 90s.
Design of the battlements modules for the towers and the main gate was heavily inspired by the Kingdoms Modular Castle Creator LEGO Ideas project by Michael Kalkwarf (www.flickr.com/photos/michaelkalkwarf/).

This beautiful mountaintop structure is the oldest functioning building in K’al Yne. Dating from the end of the reconstruction period – only a few hundred years pre-Si – the retreat has been expanded on twice. In each expansion, the entrance hall was retained and is currently the only original section of the building.
The akashic shows this ancient structure functioned much like Issis Elb’ien – the Sanctuary Gate – currently does. Originally built on one of Odan’s energetic lines, the building served as a powerful monastery of the time. As Odan’s energy lines shifted to the current position of Issis Elb ‘ien, the status of the famed mountain retreat also changed.
For a brief period, Mal Jin (stripped of its monastic title, Issis) served to house the Tagi clan*. This marked the first large expansion of the building. From Mal Jin, the clan enjoyed beautiful views of all of K’al Yne and the bay. As the city grew, Mal Jin no longer suited the clan. Their move out of the structure 850 Si later marked the second and final expansion of Mal Jin.
Now, the historic building serves as a healing center serving the greater community. Here, patients not only enjoy the healing power of the specialized Seers, they also can take advantage of the quiet mountaintop retreat’s meditation centers where emotional trauma can be addressed. While formally known as Ara Mal Jin or ‘healing center’, Mal Jin is still referred to as Issis.
Most healing is taken care of either by individuals or family members through a form of meditation/prayer and hands on healing. Trauma accidents along with interplanetary and galactic disease must be dealt with outside the community’s basic healing powers. In such cases, expert Seers known as Araitals are consulted here, at Ara Mal Jin. Their powerful techniques keep K’al Yne a very healthy and happy place to be.
*The population of K’al Yne is divided into 18 clans or family lines. Each clan specializes in an array of professional tracks. Generally, members of clans reincarnate back into their clan. In this way, skills refined in previous incarnations can be intuitively accessed and built upon. Over time, the clans have evolved their practices into highly refined specializations. The Tagi clan is known for their physical and motor skills. They make excellent pilots, craftsman and builders.

About 15 hours in and I have the rough layout of the ship along with a mostly finished front end. It's about 90 studs long at the moment. Once I finish off the fighting bay and add the engines, I'm estimating a final length of about 115 studs.

THE BANANA FOR SCALE.
A bit of a sillier post from me today! A few months ago, my wonderful LUG @texlugaustin had the monthly challenge prompt of "fruits of spring," and, as I'm wont to do, I decided to put a D&D twist on it! So ladies and gentlemen, the monstrous fruit you never asked for: the banana who is TIRED of being used for scale for all your MOCs. I wouldn't try peeling him! Those claws and teeth look vicious.
What do you think, would you be interested in the monsterification of other foods and objects at larger-than-minifig scale? Let me know!
