Hinckley Posted February 18, 2009 Here is my entry for Classic-Castle's Job Muller's Contest: Gong Farmer The farmer has just farmed a gong. While his wife tends the garden... Closeup of the facade detail Interior Check out the full gallery here This may or may not end up staying Gong Farmer. I think he may come up with a new identity and occupation once the contest is over. I have some other ideas for the contest too, but we'll see if I find the time to put them together... Enjoy and please feel free to leave feedback. Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
I Scream Clone Posted February 18, 2009 A very nice addition to the contest. I like the contrast between the tan, green and black, very appealing selection. Some of the little details on the walls are my favourite parts on the MOC as well as the Gongs. May I ask how you pulled off the facade detailing? Tiles as well as the bottom of turny brick thingamagigs? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hinckley Posted February 18, 2009 May I ask how you pulled off the facade detailing? Tiles as well as the bottom of turny brick thingamagigs? Thanks I Scream Clone! I used those handy bracket pieces: I had to get a little tricky around the corner and for the gabled roof I added some angle technic beams. I should remove the facade so people can see the framework. Perhaps I'll do that after some rest. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Admiral Blockbeard Posted February 18, 2009 Great work Hinckley. I can see a little MMV in there! Lovely little house My favorite part is the tile technique you have used. It really just makes this MOC stand out. Good luck in the contest. The black chimney does look a little odd. But I think that is fine due to it having a Fabuland element to it. All of those green roofs Regards, Cpt. PB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mandziarat Posted February 18, 2009 Nice Hinc, what's up with the dynamite? The detail is just eye-catching Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Asuka Posted February 18, 2009 A funny idea and a wonderful house in a great color scheme. The many flowers add a lot to its overall very charming appearance! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kill will Posted February 18, 2009 Ooh, pretty! But when did gongs start growing on trees? The interior looks nice and cozy, I would let my Fabuland pals go hang out there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Erdbeereis Posted February 18, 2009 That's lovely Hinck! One of my favorite entries up to this point. The idea is hilarious and all of the details on the building are superb, especially the turntables. However, I hate to say it but I wanted to warn you that this may be a bit too large for the contest... 4. Your creation may be no larger than 32x32 studs (a stud overhang is allowed for minifigs and their accessories, and foliage). There is no height restriction. Just wanted to point that out. I don't want this fantastic work to get disqualified. Anyways, stunning MOC and thanks for sharing! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Green Hair Posted February 19, 2009 Excellent work hinkster, a dong farmer...ROFL. I love all the small details and the small dongs groing on the plants, the integration of the Fabuland roofs is beautifully done as well. The only improvement i can think of is to remove 1 of the round bricks stacks next to the window and replace tem by regular 1x1's to make it look more like a wall. but that's a minor nitpick.

Lego12 Posted February 19, 2009 This is a really nice entry Hinckley. I really like the fences and the roof......Those are Fabuland, right? I really like the tiled flooring and the facade. It seems that the chimney is a little too tall for the building. The scenery is very nice and I enjoy the yellow flowers, which are lovely! The street lamp is very ingenious! I really like the idea (Gong farmer)! I enjoy your MOC's and it makes me wish I had more Fabuland... .....I only have two figs..... Anyways, thanks for showing your entry. -Lego12 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SlyOwl Posted February 19, 2009 Nice one, Hinck! Chinese Gongs The building is cute, but I especially like the fence at the front. You also did something I never have the patience to do - roof beams! And a neat Edge too! Although there's a load of people out there now who missed out on the Fabuland Revolution, so haven't got a clue what it is! What's that black sticking up thing? Just wanted to point that out. I don't want this fantastic work to get disqualified. Anyways, stunning MOC and thanks for sharing! You lose, punk! Good luck in the contest - there's a lot of entries so far! (I go away for a week and the whole of the CC MOC page is flooded with Mullers ). I've often wondered to what extent Fabuland is allowed into Castle. For example, this MOC isn't particularly castle-y (it could fit in town/city/belville). Your Sherwood one though...

Erdbeereis Posted February 19, 2009 Ah, good you've changed it to fit the guidelines Hinck. Like I said already, excellent work! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hinckley Posted February 19, 2009 Sadly, my entry is disqualified anyway because you're not allowed to alter it once it's been entered. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Erdbeereis Posted February 19, 2009 Sadly, my entry is disqualified anyway because you're not allowed to alter it once it's been entered. That's kind of a crap deal... I don't see why you can't have a quick fix up if you made a mistake. Ah well, you still have my great MOC comment to console you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zepher Posted February 20, 2009 That's a rather suckish rule, if you ask me. This is fantastic Hink! The texturing of the house is wonderful, as is the build. the idea is creative as well! Very nice job! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Capt. Kirk Posted February 20, 2009 (edited) That's kind of a crap deal... I don't see why you can't have a quick fix up if you made a mistake. Ah well, you still have my great MOC comment to console you. I agree with that... I can understand that it's not permitted to remake your entry ones you entered... But some adaptation to be in order with the rules must be possible... Edited February 20, 2009 by Capt. Kirk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
