If you look through my model archives there are 2 tutorials titled 'Spiral Staircase tutorial'. I'd say to check those out first :) Thanks.

Those spiral stairways are amazing! Could you show how you did that?

This is amazing! I'll bet you used at least 1,000 pieces in the spiral staircase alone! Keep building big and detailed!

WOW. This is just amazing. If I didn't see it I would think it's impossible to build. I'm amazed at the amount of detail you put into this MOC. 5/5!

O MY GOSH!!! This is incredible, details every where you look! My favorite part has to be the space dude though ;) 100/5 stars!

Somebody should frikin' pay you to be who you are and build what you build! This is about as glorious as it gets, most impressive concept and beautiful execution. Seeing this kind of MOCs really keeps me going, Thoy. Thx for sharing

Did someone already mention that this build is fantastic? Or am I the only one around who thinks this build is fantastic?

Pure magic. One of the best MOCs I've ever seen.

out of this entire moc i like the witches robes the most. its simple and looks good. 10/10

u gt mutafar in dat catle celarrr ting init dude! P.S stair case round tree instructions plz

I love the tree!

That along with Mark Kelso's Minas Tirith are the best Lego creations I've seen in my life. Truly it is amazing! It so big and yet so detailed. The technique for the spiral staircase is brilliant and you combining so many themes in one creation in unbelievable. Congratulations!

Since you commented on me I had to see what you made and when I saw this it made me crawl on my knees to find my jaw that dropped of my face! Holy cow! honestly, that is amazing!

This is brilliant! Reminds me of the evles' wood in the Eragon series. You have way more pieces than me, and I thought I had a lot I love the kind of castlely effect you've made

Best Moc I`ve seen yet !...its fabulous....

Boy, that was a lot of photos, and every one of them pure gold. An awesome feat of patience and skill. I commend you and hope you win with your magnificent work of art.

My son really liked this as we were going through all the nominations, as did I, again. Congrats on the nomination, and good luck!

That is insanely good! I like all of the different rooms, and utilities.

Needs more pics... no seriously, I can't get enough of this! ~ Chris.

this is the absolute best MOC on the internet iam awestruck at how detailed and awesome this is that must have at least 100000 bricks in it all of your creations are always amazing

Thanks, I was originally going to have a Fire-Lord Bionicle attacking for all those bionicle lovers - that didn't happen though...

Yes :) Got em when they were cheap :D

This happened to Leda too when she saw the build ;) Your in good company my friend!

Thanks man, this is eligible for the Castle category for the 2011 Mocie Awards, if you'd like to nominate it :) Thanks again!

Lol, you spelt 'is' and 'so' correctly :) Thanks dude.

This built was done on 12 base-plates. Give yourself time and you will be making things like this in the not to distant future. :)

I would hate to be in your position in a week or two. I could not bring myself to destroy the greatest masterpiece plastic has ever seen. This is without a doubt the best MOC ever. On the staircase, I'll guess 2159 pieces used.

Wow, how many baseplates did you use? I wish I could make such a masterful MOC. You did that in 10 weeks? That's amazing! You have ALOT of trans dark blue tiles! :)

Tihs is so EIPC I cna't selpl rghit aynorme.

Wow, i really can't think of any words to describe it, you have created an absolute masterpiece, love all the details!

I don't even know how you did that in ten weeks! I'm stunned at this!

Jaw drops and hits desk with a loud "THUD!!"

Wow.... that is all.

... -clears throat- ..... -clears throat again- Oh, that's uuuhh... -stares in awe-

Ha ha, In my mind I kept saying "WOW!! Thats a lot of blue pieces!" Did you order them from Bricklink?

Awesome. I love the interior of the mountain.

Beautiful MOC ! :)

Awesome moc! Never seen anything like that before. Staircase guess? I think about 2000 pieces?

Still a bit far off :) I'm going to post instructions very shortly on how you can make your and others can make your own staircases :)

Haha, its all good dude, as long as you dont Nukemaster my MOC to next week i'll be happy. One day you will be the AFOL who TFOLs and CFOLs have to look up to ;)

NZ has access to bricklink? :O Completly Amazing job, this is why I hate AFOLs.

That is legit! It doesn't seem physically possible. Let me see, 1000 pieces in the tree's staircase?

there aren't any word that I can use to tell you how awesome this MOC is.

That is just AMAZING! Awesome job on the set!

whoaaaah! *faints* *head hits ground*

Thanks. The hardest part to build was deffinetely the tree trunk. It will be a while before I tackle a large tree again.

This is magnificent! My only thing is I wish you had more pictures of this MOC. Just kidding! I couldn't think of anyone who wouldnt like this. There is so much going on that it boggles the mind. I would have to say this is one of the top 5 MOCs I have ever seen! Excellent work!

VERY NIICE!!! I like every aspect of this build and there's a little something for everyone here. The tree and spiral staircase are just AMAZING!! That snow summit is pretty remarkable too! What was the hardest part to build?

Superlative building in every sense of the word. That tree is just something else!

Guh...Guh.....are you sure you aren't a master builder? This...this is true art!!

there's realy only one thing i can say and i think it's enough: Fantastic!

Yay Huni xo 97 already xo

Wow. This dio is amazing. Even though many pictures wouldn't load, I was amazed by the amount of detail. I especially liked the lava river, andI was really surprised to see that the mountain had an inside. The spacemen threw me off a little and I'm still not sure how they fit though. Great job! Oh and I guess 2500

This is awesome, great work! I love all the pictures.

0_o NICE TREE

Haha thanks Leda :) I'm not a violent person really, peoples jaws just don't want to stay attached... :P Go right ahead, I'm going to do a Post of the spiral staircase technique and give the credit to my brother, he was the one who helped develop its seamless appearance.

Haha, NZ rep would be nice, this wouldn't be the same build without your input. The gapless 'ramp' look would be all but gone. Cheers bro, you should come over and take a look when you get time. I have my next project in concept already.

My jaw not only dropped, it actually fell right off my face and onto the floor. Wow. Wow and WOW!!! Your attention to detail is phenomenal, so much to look at, so many wonderful little bits. You style is just yummy. I want to steal your techniques...

Well done, bro. It would be nice if LEGO did hire you as a consultant... put that passion to use!

you should do a city one

omg 10/10 one of the best mocs on here but how long did it take u to make?

This is being bookmarked as a personal favorite build of mine. Those stairs are downright INCREDIBLE! I love the whole tree actually. No, in fact let me revise that, I love everything about this whole build. Spectacular work!

also to show how great it is it already has 81 i like its including mine in the first 3 days awesome this sould be motd

Thanks Paul :)

Strange mate - normally crazy people all look normal to each other, but you still picked up on my craziness lol. Cheers Shifu ;)

I was originally going to have a Fire Lord attacking, but the gap between the tree and mountain was too small for the flame effect. Thanks for the comment :)

Trust me with the looks of your Mage Tower you can easily get here and beyond in your first year. I did a Mage Tower 6-8 months ago, i'm going to redo the mage theme for my next build. Thanks for the praise mate ;)

Cheers man :) I have a surprise for you, my first input to G.A.I.A. Will pobably upload it tomorrow.

Ok, 2 things: 1st - I've been to your page and you are a good few leagues ahead of me. 2nd - coming from an accomplished builder as yourself, thanks a million man :)

Speechless...

Sure, if you like I can leave it on the deck too, so you don't set the alarm off :P LOL

This is huge and awesome. Did it take the whole year to build it. :D

The detailing is great the size alone is drawdropping. I mean this MOC just rings MOTD. I need to have your adresss for the various bills I am sending you from each member of my family. And my guess for the stair case is 375. Hope that is close.

This project is great. I like the spiral staircase, the mountain, the snow effects and the waterfall. The wall technique looks great as well. very well thought out and massive.

This is very impressive. My only complaint is the presence of fleshies. Stupid fleshies, legoland was a better place when all the inhabitants were a uniform shade of inhuman yellow! :-)

Great job Thoy, really amazing. One year of building has really evolved a lot. I hope to achieve even some of that growth in my first year!

A-MA-ZING!!!! I don't have the parts, the time, the patience, or, especially, the skill to creat something like this. I bow before your greatness, sir! Great way to mark your anniversary! Can't wait to see what you do next:)

That...That...That cannot be legal. I'm fairly certain that it's against the law to be that awesome. No, seriously. go to jail. That's just not possible. Charlie Sheen will be suing you later this week.

He's not just playing, he's living it ;)

Well your guess is by far the closest, but its still very short ;) Ice Planet was my fav theme from the '90s. Cheers.

Haha, mine too. I bought that set specifically with this MOC in mind.

Thanks Mark. Uploading was around 15minutes so it wasn't too bad. Cheers!

Thanks heaps aye, the details remind me of one of your ships. I'm in good company.

Haha, this is interesting :)

DO IT >:D Mwahahaha!

What a gorgeous build! Happy anniversary! A well deserved marker.....and what a fantastic way to kick it off!!! WOW this is just amazing!

OMG!!! There are no words for it! It is brilliant! I LOVE IT!!!!! WHere did u get all the pieces and the guys?! I love it! Have u seen mine! It would be an hounor if u looked and commented on mine! This is so cool!!!

Incredible tree! I don't have a clue whats going on but that's brilliant

you have successfully boggled my mind. great job and Happy MOCiversery!

Cheers Caleb :)

Hey I thought thats how this AFOL thing worked :P. Thanks Hans as always.

Thanks man :)

Thanks Claire :) Yes if you go back through my archives you'll see my real builds only started emerging around 9 months ago. Its gone so fast :)

Haha, so far no one is close :)

Thanks E.K.o. :)

I aggreeth with Oscar van der Beek. I am not worthy. You have made in 10 hours a better creation than my best which took me a year. This is truly breathtaking. I wish I had your talent. May this always be remembered as one of the best MOCs in history. Happy Mociversary!

Thanks EG :) I thought it was a new concept to try out too ;)

Thanks Shannon :)

Hey nice. Thanks heaps. I've popped over there a few times for a browse. the thought of uploading photos more than once eats at me though haha. Thanks again Mate!

Awesome! Is there ANYTHING that this MOC doesn't have?

1. Why are there Ice Planet hovercraft thingies patrooling the place? 2. Why is there a Wampa ravaging a poor innocent climber? 3. Why does this have to be so awesome?

This is awesome. I must now find out where you live and steal it. Would that be okay?

So much detail! I think there is 500 pieces in the tree's spiral staircase.

Just to let you know, I have highlighted this on Eurobricks to give it more widespread adult exposure. Hope you dont mind, heres the link to the page where you can view peoples comments. http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=54815

Wow! This is an incredible build! I'm really liking the tree, it's masterfully done, in fact I think it is the best tree of Lego I've ever seen! This makes me wish I had the pieces and ingenuity to design and build large scale MOCs, but I guess I'll have to be content with the detailed little vignettes. Once again very well done, I'm totally impressed!

By Ole Kirk's Bricks! I am unworhthy to gazeth upon such holy divinity! May my eyes be mercilessly gouged from my very head by a thousand Jackdaws, for I have committed sacrelige, by casting by inferior gaze upon this relic, this art(efact) of highest stature. I must be punnished!

Well done on this! A fantastic scene and you have managed to capture a natural look with the setting. This has inspired me to actually start building some decent mocs again( if I get the time). Also, im amazed at your patience for loading that many pics :)

Thoy, incredible cannot begin to describe... Well done! I am in awe of the scale and detail you've captured in this beautiful diorama. What a wonderful piece of work to honor your 1 year Mociversary! Again, stunning job, and your pictures really do it justice!

I might just want to break that record, the tallest tree on mocpages :P I don't have the parts right now though :P

Astonishing MOC! The variety of scenery and themes is amazing, and work surprisingly well together, even tough the space guys seen a little out of place. The whole thing is very beautiful, and the scale is impressive. A true masterpiece.

Oh! My! God!..... wow. Even if I had as much lego as you have, I would not be able to create such awesome creation....

This is exellent!! I really like the tree, and the fact that you made an interior for the mountain.

Wow this is amazing. I love the different colors of the housebricks. So many beautiful features of this MOC. You're fantastic! Well Done! :-)

Amazing.

First off, I think you are crazy. Secondly, you are crazy. Thirdly, you are crazy. With that being said, I think you are crazy! Holy sh..! No detail was left behind. Every picture/angle has something beautiful to offer. Fantastic is an understatement. Happy anniversary!

A true delight to view. My favorite part is probably the tree with the spiral staircase, but every part of this build is just too good for me to have a definite favorite. Happy MOCiversary, you've definitely celebrated it in style.

Voiceless... This MOC is absolutely AWESOME! Water is meeting earth and fire... The amount of details is crazy, the water is oniric. I also particularly love the inside of the mountain.The kind of MOC's which makes you want to overcome the maximum rating of 5! I would give at least 20! BRAVO! :-) I would be very happy if you also come over to see my big MOC too! http://www.mocpages.com/moc.php/252434

Awesome! Is the Wampa playing king of the hill?

AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME YOU MUST REALLY GONNA WOORK BY THE LEGO GROUP OR BE A PROFESSIONAL BUILDER IT IS TOTALLY AWESOME!!!!!

This is amazing! That tree is stunning, and those Derfel cadarn stiled walls for the castle look great! And all that water! Excellant!

This is a master peice. How long did it take you to build it?

WOW... That's BIG!! I also agree with Yuri, the best touch are that old Ice Planet scooters! Obviously everything else is fantastic, starting from the huge tree with a stair that I guess is made of 1100 bricks, ending with the huge amount of details on the castle. Well done, bravissimo! Now make the instructions ahah :D

Beautiful build! I love all the intricate castle details, with the occasional off-themed bits that keep you on your toes when going through the gallery. The wampa was my favorite. ;)

I'm not sure if I'm more impressed with the build, or your patience in loading that many pics! But both are a treat for all of us. Great work with a ton of fun details throughout the build. Congrats on your anniversary, and well done!!!

This is a list of comments I made while flipping thru the pics: "Awe man, this is soo coool! I could imagine having so much fun w/ this MOC*. And the inside of the mountain?-Awesome. The aqueduct isn't just cool, but it makes a waterfall too! So Cool! The spiral staircases-WICKED! The giant pine tree-incredibly detailed. And the roofs on the buildings lift off to have interiors-UNBELIEVABLE!!!!" *I bet this was fun to build as well.

This so beautiful - so many details and actions! ..not to mention overall look. Mesmerizing! Now, I'm going back to look at it for one more hour :)

Beautiful.

Wow, so much to see! And it's all so beautiful with so much going on. A wonderful creation.

Super super super Fantastic !!!!! 10000/5

i have no words for this. This is pure awesomeness. where the heck did you get all those pieces and men from? And for the staircase im saying 550 pieces.

Insane how much you packed into this build- Great work on all of it, Dude! Congrats on the Versary, too!

so cool!

so cool!

Wow. Too much! So many great ideas to steal...~H

One word: Awesome!

This is amazing! This is one of the most stunning MOCs I have ever seen, I can't decide which part of it I like the most! I still find it unbelievable that you have only been building for a year, you are incredibly gifted. Thank you for sharing so many pictures :-)

Very impressive!

An absolutely gorgeous build Thoy. It looks spectacular. Being a civil engineer by trade, my favorite bit is the aquaduct!

omg omg omg omg omg omg that is sooooo awesome great build with the staircase and the tree and the tower and- who am i kidding its all awesome

Thanks Mate :)

Haha cheers Yuri, i'm wondering if anyone else will get the connection between the IP2002 guys and the title :) In a way its me returning to Lego ;)

Thanks Man! Somehow you always manage to be the first to comment on my builds lol. Just dont tell me your also building a very tall tree lol. I'm glad this build is complete. Unlike my other builds, i feel the time on this was very well spent.

Holy bricks! This is astounding! The stairs around the tree are awesome, as the dot-built wall. And that Ice Planet scooter was hilarious. Bravo!

I'm stunned!!!

Very nice, I love the long stairs and the interiors are awesome, great water works too, fantastic job dude
