WesternOutlaw Posted February 27, 2009 The tenth Grave Stone MOC happens to be a creation based on a Classic Town set, 6379 Riding Stable. I ran across the set browsing Brickset, and thought to myself, "I should print the instructions to this little stable". I did so through Peeron, and built the set with alternate colors. Initially, I used white windows, door, and fence, later changing them to yellow. I liked the MOC with yellow much better. I must admit that although the creation is okay, this is probably my LEAST favorite MOC of the Grave Stone collection. I think I prefer this classic with the traditional bright colors used in the mid 80s. The Story Ghostly green lights and skeletal figures have been seen lately outside the Sinister Stable. What eerie mystery lies within its rotten wooden walls? Clanking sounds of a hammer hitting horseshoes can be heard coming from the barn. Perhaps the Phantom Rider is having his black steed prepared for his midnight journey; or rather, it may be one of Grave Stone's Ghastly Steeds being saddled. And what is that shiny object that hangs in the hay loft? Perhaps the object can unlock some of the mysteries of Grave Stone... The Story Revealed This story serves two purposes: 1) It sets the stage for the next creation to come, Nightmare Stagecoach; and 2) It provides a key to unlocking the chest found in the Shady Inn.

Shadows Posted February 27, 2009 That's quite a unique entry into the theme, completely unexpected and maybe a little out of place, but well done, without a doubt. I do appreciate how the whole story is coming together, I'm just distracted by the yellow. I think I would have preferred red or black windows and fences, but yellow was a daring and, as I said, unexpected choice that definitely makes it stand out. It would probably look good in the moonlight, as opposed to the kind of light it takes to get a good picture, so that would qualify as spooky potential in my book. How did you manage the horse head / horseshoe logo on brown like that? It's my favourite part, weird as that might seem. from me, another fine effort.

Captain Blackmoor Posted February 27, 2009 Awesome creation TheBrickster! I love the sinister look on it, with the skeletons and that horse. The story is great too, as always! I really enjoy this series! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Klaus-Dieter Posted February 28, 2009 That's again an amazing MOC, TheBrickster! I really it! I really like the colors (brown-black-yellow) and the classic style of this stable - it looks absolutely realistic! It's really a great idea to have even a farm in- or outside your ghost town! Very, very well done! Klaus-Dieter Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
