Mister Phes Posted February 2, 2006 They think you're a sailor? Are they the least bit suspicious about your hook and peg leg? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Evil Willy Posted February 2, 2006 Thats what happens when you have been abourd ships for years! Pirates attack you, you loose limbs what can I say, im not the only one. Ide apreciate reviews please Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SuvieD Posted February 2, 2006 As your house sits right now I will grade it 1 to 10, 10 being best Design: 5, clearly inspired by the Blacksmith shop which is well designed but it is not your design Look: 4, too colorful with some odd shapes and appears to empty to be the house of a busy pirate Quality: 6, a good build and I can tell it looks solid the pieces are placed with some thought Creativity: 5, again mostly stolen concept no new items or extras and lack fun details Overall: 5 out of 10, a good effort with some nice details. Looks sturdy, is a good size, and has the bare minimum for being a nice MOC are all things it has going for it. It could use a little help and a fair revamp. It looks like the blacksmith shop. Which could be good or bad. I would drop one of the colors entirely or use it as only accents. For example you could switch the green shutters for red ones, make the upper story walls white instead or blue and use red slopes for the canopy instead of white. Switch your window frames to red or yellow if you can. You would the have only red, white and yellow as your main colors and grays and black as the neutral stuff. I would also add an attic for storage with a ladder to get to it. Move all the barrels up there or under the stairs. Place the keg on a rack and add a place for weapons to hang. I would shrink the fire place down as you only need a smaller on for cooking as I don't think you do iron working. I would also make the bed hollow inside with a part that can lift up so you can hide treasure or something under it. A goblet and a dish (2x2 radar dish works) for the table would be a nice touch. I would also not have vines growing on the outside (personal preference). I would add a stand with a parrot on it next to the door and make it have multiple hooks if you want to hang a cape on it also. Finally I would switch the roof parts on top for double sided peaks to make it look more natural. With changes like these I would bump the grade to a 7 or 8. You would need to add something unique to the look or design of it and do something a little more eye catching that a square with a roof on it to be truely worth a 10. Don't feel bad about your score. I wrote this to try and help you build even better (and at your request for a review). I often times put even less detail on the outside and mostly no detail in my houses so you are steps ahead of me in that respect. If you want a great house for yourself you will need to go a the extra mile. MOC on Willy, MOC on! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Evil Willy Posted February 3, 2006 The only way that its based on the black smith shop is because its open...Its custom to the max, but has been destroyed. It was created a while back when I didnt have that much shutters and windows LEGO's for that matter. And I wanted the roof blue but didnt have the pieces for it. But it did look very good in real life. Thansk for your opinion you may be right about to much colors, you are lol! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well, the design with the stairs and the bed and the fireplace is exactly the same, but I guess there's not THAT much that you could do with an opening house that size Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mister Phes Posted February 4, 2006 Look: 4, too colorful with some odd shapes and appears to empty to be the house of a busy pirateI would drop one of the colors entirely or use it as only accents. For example you could switch the green shutters for red ones, make the upper story walls white instead or blue and use red slopes for the canopy instead of white. Switch your window frames to red or yellow if you can. You would the have only red, white and yellow as your main colors and grays and black as the neutral stuff. I agree with Mr SuvieD about the colours! The red and blue reminded me of smurfs for some reason, but that would be an indication that the colours were too garish. However, if that's the look you were going for you have achieved this really well! MOC on Willy, MOC on! I also agree with Mr SuvieD on this matter as well!

Mister Phes Posted February 6, 2006 But has been destroyed... Destroyed? How did it meet its doom Willy? Intentionally or accidentally? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Hordesman Posted February 6, 2006 Nice little tudor house! Looks realistic, but the map seems upside down and the roof could need those roof-top pieces, but since it seems you dont got any I think its pretty darn good. The inverted slopes are a nice addition to make the house's second floor larger is a nice addition, but I would recommend them being grey and a part of the first floor, I dont think Ive seen a tudor house sloped like that.

Mister Phes Posted February 23, 2006 The map is intentionally upside down to fool any would be thieves! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Evil Willy Posted February 26, 2006 Yes of course the map is upside down on purpose...But Like I said this is all destroyed now So I cant change anything. As for the top section...I have no 1x2 double slopes so it didnt work out because the roof is an odd number long. Eeek! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mister Phes Posted March 29, 2006 Evil Willy what are you doing with that car seat in your house? Did a time portal open up and you decided to go on a plundering spree in the future? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Evil Willy Posted March 29, 2006 Its just a wooden chair, covered in a blue bag (made of wool) filled with feathers, what did u think..Cars, what are those? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mister Phes Posted May 31, 2006 You could have just said it was a set painted blue. But yes, what on Earth is a car? It could be an abbreviation for carriage or some transporation device like that. If not, then its completely beyond me! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
