Tazmaniac Posted October 30, 2011 A first attempt....needs refining and an interior, but maybe that'll be for the next build. I will re-shoot with figs but just wanted to get a straight shot for now.....comments? The Hobbit by Taz-Maniac, on Flickr Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
de Gothia Posted October 30, 2011 Lovely!!! The house is well intergrated with the nature around it! Great work! Planning to expand it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
I Scream Clone Posted October 30, 2011 Nice work, it looks very organic and built in to the hill quite nicely. I see your rock technique gets another go too. You have gone to a bit of trouble adding a nice title yet removing the background would be great as well, does your software support this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lightningtiger Posted October 30, 2011 Very nice 'Taz', excellent home in the dirt.....even Bugs Bunny would move in. Please fill the interior, it will be as excellent as the outside....Brick On 'Taz' ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lorax Posted October 30, 2011 As always, your work is beautifully done Taz. The door is brilliant (the circle shape). I also like the shape of the dark tan roof and how it fits into the environment. And the 1x2 rock work, just brilliant. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cecilie Posted October 30, 2011 Looking good Taz, your landscaping is excellent, and I love how you did the round window (and the door too!). Hoping to see an interior soon, and some hobbit minifigs . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
k_peek_2000 Posted October 30, 2011 It looks spot on! You should try recreating Bag End for your next MOC. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tazmaniac Posted October 30, 2011 Cheers all for the feedback It was just a rough build to get some ideas into brick.....still not at where I won't it. Nice work, it looks very organic and built in to the hill quite nicely. I see your rock technique gets another go too. You have gone to a bit of trouble adding a nice title yet removing the background would be great as well, does your software support this? Yes it does...I was just being lazy.....Better ? ..(still being lazy , note the bad photo shopping). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
trooper 278 Posted October 30, 2011 Yeah, I have to agree with others, great work, thumps up . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jedi master Brick Posted October 30, 2011 This is great. The detail is amazing and the house looks really good . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CorneliusMurdock Posted October 30, 2011 Amazing! Everything looks like it was taken strait from the book. My only suggestion is that maybe the doorknob should be centered in the middle of the door. Not essential, just a suggestion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ecclesiastes Posted October 30, 2011 Awesome hobbit house! Great job on the door and indeed nice use of your new rock-building-technique! I'm only wondering, is it abandoned or is their just no path to the front door? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
I Scream Clone Posted October 30, 2011 The background definitely lifts it, good job. I hate PS editing as much as you do, but the results are often worth it. Now will there be hobbits and dwarves on this mission? Do I have to make a Hobbit MOC now too? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hartfan Posted October 30, 2011 Very nice MOC. Really like it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shutinc Posted October 30, 2011 Looks very natural! I want to see more! :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Derfel Cadarn Posted October 30, 2011 Another great moc Taz! The house is built into the landscape very well indeed, and I love all the details you have managed to add into it. If this is anything to go by, I think you should just go ahead and build the whole Shire, it would look fantastic! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheBoyWonder Posted October 31, 2011 I really like this. It is quite multi-use. The Hobbit hole, a dwarf hideout or even a place for a Forestman to hide from a Black Falcon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tazmaniac Posted November 5, 2011 Cheers for all the positive feedback guys! I'm in the middle of another build at the moment but when it's complete I'll return to the shire to build some neighbours, some interiors ect. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gabe Posted November 5, 2011 Cheers for all the positive feedback guys! I'm in the middle of another build at the moment but when it's complete I'll return to the shire to build some neighbours, some interiors ect. Sounds great, can't wait to see the extensions.

Jack Bricker Posted November 6, 2011 I really, really like your hobbit hole. I am a big fan of LOTR and you did an absolutely fabulous job. I love how you did the round door and all of the detail that you put into it. I was also looking at some of your other MOCs on your flickr page and I was really impressed with them too.

LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted November 6, 2011 This is an outstanding creation! It looks just like the real thing and is highly detailed. It has a lot of nice touches ...I like the building technique used for the window and the door. Absolutely cool! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
