Peppermint_M Posted February 12, 2013 I like it! Another! *refrains from the smashings* The roof looks just crooked enough ,so while perfectly creepy it doesn't look badly made or tacky. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DraikNova Posted February 12, 2013 Beautiful job with the dark red roof. The crooked tree is also nice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

soccerkid6 Posted February 12, 2013 The colors give a very fitting feel and the tree is superb I like the roof design though I feel the peaked section on the right flares out to far from the building. Great stuff Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Studebricker Posted February 12, 2013 Cool idea! Only thing I might suggest would be to vary the wall structure a bit more to make it more "falling apart" looking. Too many smooth tiles for what is supposed to be a roughly built structure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tazmaniac Posted February 12, 2013 Cheers for the feedback and comments guys. I was going for old and weathered rather then a badly build structure, old tile roofs tend to sag in time from the weight of the mortar and the tiles them selves, both through the ridge and the faces, though these photos don't show it very well it does sag both ways. I'll get some brighter pics to show some of the detail, maybe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fugazi Posted February 13, 2013 I like it! Great palette of colours, the house looks like a pretty complex build with all those angles and textures, and the tree technique (as seen on Flickr) is awesome! Inspiring stuff Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brickington Posted February 13, 2013 Very nice build. I usually don't comment around these parts, but how could I not? This is just beautiful! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kintobor Posted February 13, 2013 Hehe! Very cute! I think the building looks superb, and the zombie couple is rather clever. Well done! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lynx Posted August 29, 2013 I just saw that in your signature of the goblin MOC. What a fantastic house! And congratulations on taking the price! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kermit Posted August 29, 2013 I love the details that you put into this moc and the color choice too.The tiles on the sides to represent boarded walls is very well done and truly gives the house that broken down abandoned feel. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
