Skipper Posted October 30, 2011 Great find! I don't usually think the Imperial Trading Post translates well with modern techniques (everything looks midiscale) but this looks quite good regardless. Lots of great techniques, I especially like the crane and that boat is quite clever as well using those curve pieces. I wonder why he doesn't post them himself, seeing as he's a member?

SirSven7 Posted October 30, 2011 Well he's actually a member of forbidden cove and he took these pics back in january but they never got posted on our site, feeling that you where all missing out (as I think there both awesome) I posted them up. The large boat in the post is my favorite part for this set (and the varied building styles). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bjornu Posted October 30, 2011 Looks great, altough Im not a great fan of making everything "Tiled" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZCerberus Posted October 30, 2011 I personally love the all tiled look. It seems as if everything is just a touch too small as skipper noted, but there are a lot of very cool techniques used here as well. The Flickr info says this is supposed to be a modernized version of 6277 and you can definitely tell that is what it is based off of. The little sail boat in there is also very well done, take a look at the Flickr link to see it from another angle... not quite as nice there, but still some good techniques! Look for this updated set to be blogged soon! [bloggedcp][/bloggedcp] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Big Cam Posted October 30, 2011 I'm a sucker for some good tiling and this looks great. It does feel just a tad small, but it works very nicely. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hiawatha Posted October 30, 2011 Thanks for sharing! I really like the brick-built boat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Derfel Cadarn Posted October 30, 2011 Ah yes, 2MC did a great job on this as did he on all his entries that he built for the JRC2, and ended up winning the Master Builder award. If you are familiar with any of his work then you will instantly recognize his building style, as it shows really well here. The reason why it is fairly small is because the size limit was only 2 32x32 base plates. Great moc and well worth sharing here on CP. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kerntechniker Posted October 31, 2011 I love it. It's a great MOC and it looks like an extendable one. I love this kind. In special I enjoy the ruffled sail of the small boat at the harbour. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ah, this makes more sense now my fractional friend. I recognized the name, but since he is not a member here (too bad) I did not immediately think of anything else he has done. I also like the version of the palm trees he used here. Very nice. Edited November 1, 2011 by ZCerberus Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sebeus I Posted October 31, 2011 This was also a contest entry, the goal was to recreate the official set 'Imperial Trading post', I think he won a Black Seas Barracuda in the contest Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain BeerBeard Posted November 2, 2011 I don't like a single thing about this. I really can't get why this was blogged. It doesn't do the original any justice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sebeus I Posted November 2, 2011 (edited) I reuploaded the pictures of my entry in the contest I spent a lot of work on my entry so I was quite dissapointed I didn't win Edited November 2, 2011 by Sebeus Iniwum Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
