Graham Gidman Posted July 16, 2016 I started building this back in March, if you can believe it, but a move, time-consuming techniques, lack of pieces, and simply being occupied with other stuff (including other builds) have taken it's completion until now. Nonetheless, I really like how it turned out and am excited to hear what you guys think! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BrickCurve Posted July 16, 2016 Looks amazing! I can see why it took so long to build... Well worth the wait! Amon the many other excellent details, the rushing water here is incredible! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
x105Black Posted July 16, 2016 (edited) This is a nice build, and a great representation of the scene. I love the way the water was done, and the landscaping looks great. The trees are also really nice. The way the rocks are clustered into dark and light sections is a really nice touch. You did a good job on the custom barrels, I didn't even notice them until I looked again. Nice work! Edited July 16, 2016 by x105Black Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

peedeejay Posted July 16, 2016 Stunning build with again a marvelous rockwork! You managed to capture the action of the scene almost perfectly. Only needs a log of an old tree laying over the river, but maybe I'm asking for too much now. ;-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Graham Gidman Posted July 18, 2016 Thanks for comments, fellas! How did you make the barrels? I borrowed the technique used to make the water tower in 10246 Detective's Office. Scroll down through this and you'll find it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
