Title: Red Queen's Castle
Post by: Cora on April 22, 2013, 10:08:39 am
Cora's next big project is COMING SOON!!!

The RED QUEEN'S CASTLE
from Alice and Wonderland (2010)

(http://www.opticraft.net/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FxfOS3ry.png&hash=5ee173fa5e44c8232be1e788201a2758)

I have sectioned off some land and set up some donation chests at /home ecorrigall red  . The big need for this project is quartz and redstone - I'm going to need A LOT of it! I will have a contributors wall for the castle just like I did for wonderland, so any generous offerings will be credited and with the help of logblock I'll know who placed what in the chests - so don't worry if you help out you WILL get credit.


Here however is a series of pictures updating my design on the Red Queen's Castle over time.

That's really nice of you all thanks!! I think right now since I'm still designing it that all that can be helpful is any quartz/redstone donations at /home ecorrigall red. Once I've finished the design and start planning putting on Opticraft I'll prbly need help with landscaping and such.

Anyway, thanks again everyone!

Okay so I have a problem... the space I've outlined is not large enough and there's builds on either side... so I need to find a new home for the castle so I can start dropping it in Opticraft finally... unfortunately I'm having troubles finding a 400x400 minimum block area... so if anyone can find one please let me know! - Try to avoid snow biomes at all cost as the snow ruins the look of the build.

       I will see IF I can find an area. Hopefully I can!  ;)

After searching the live maps, I've only seen a couple decent places. Haven't yet checked the dimensions but they're both in jungle biomes, so some extreme excavation will have to take place :J

If you know anything about how/where Wonderland was located you'll know excavation does not scare me away!

Pm me if you still want to look

Would require much digging, but fairly clear as i can tell.

Another jungle, fairly clear.

I looked at the places listed and they were nowhere near large enough but thank goodness for Zelda who agreed to move a build so i could expand the outline to fit my needs for this build... THANK YOU ZELDA!!!! Now thanks to her I can start planning for dropping the build in opti.

I will be happy to donate any sort of reproduceable resources(i.e. wool, leaves, seeds, crops, plants, wood) Inexhaustible resources (Stone) and foodstuffs (cookies, bread). I just have a problem with donating Stuff ((redstone,quartz) however i can supply enchanted tools, to help facilitate the excavation.

Do you need any roses for red dye? I have a lot!
Title: Re: Red Queen's Castle
Post by: Cora on June 01, 2013, 02:52:06 pm
I don't need roses I'm using Redstone and Quartz mostly... The redstone has been fairly easy to keep up for the most part by buying/donations/mining... what I'm having a really hard time with - as I'm sure you can guess... is the quartz... so seriously if anyone wants to donate any amount of Quartz it would help immensely.

Ok, the quartz i can't really hep with.

THANK YOU!!! I've been mining up a fair amount in the nether too... so I'm doing what I can! =)

FINALLY, an update!! [Figured this was long overdue!]

(http://www.opticraft.net/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2F3PW2uIj.jpg&hash=03193e098c47bb96a3fce1e62d322a86)

Getting lots of help from lots of people - still low on the quartz and red sand but holding out okay. The moat is complete as are many of the towers, still have more to finish obviously, but still making insane amounts of progress lately! Yay!

One question I want to answer here that everyone is asking is why I've built from the towers down and the reason is this; I wanted to match the picture as closely as possible and once that was complete I would improvise the rest - which is where I'm at now.

In this picture you can see my man-made hill making way for the bottoms of the floating towers above.

Damn, Cora.
What a colossal build. And that is more quartz than I ever mined, online or offline.
