This is my third free-build for this month, and I am Eslandian.

In Bardo, Thursday is Market Day, and small farmers, fishers, and craftsmen from all around bring their wares to the Seller's Square.

Come on and join in the fun!

Get a hot meal... a literally hot meal, made with freshly picked chili peppers!

Fresh Bardo pigs means fresh Bardo bacon... and nothing beats Bardo bacon!

Something for everyone!

Got carrots?

Frog legs, anyone? Or be amused by this sailor's pet monkey!

An overview:

C&C welcome! I tried to convey the sense of a crowded market scene and while I would have liked to have a bit more time to introduce a few more unique stalls I'm pretty happy with how it ended up!

Approval from Corrington :thumbup:

Such a bustling scene, so much detail, definitely worth a visit. I like the traders who have their wares out on the rugs, rather than on tables, adds a different dimension to the usual market scenes. The pig crate is cool too. Looks like a properly busy Eslandian market, nice one!

Are approvals needed anymore?

Well I still approve and I am from Corrington.

I do really enjoy that the scene pulled off the market place with all of its hustle and bustle.

Is this an outdoor market? If so I would have liked to see more changes in the cobblestone as it looks too perfect. That is the only thing I see that could change.

A great crowded market scene, and an excellent jon on the photography highlighting all the details.

Rumors say that someone knew about that minifig rule in advance and just took his chance. ;)

Approval from Corrington!

Very lively and active scene, with a lot of nice details, such as the spread out blanket with wares, the "pig-in-a-basket", and the multitude of people and wares. Well done!

Thank you! I was in a bit of a hurry to get this done or I would have liked to add a few more substantial stalls, but on the whole it turned out nicely crowded!

For the last few March free-builds, approvals are still very much welcome. pirate_satisfied.gif

That's a good point about the cobblestone. Sometimes I forget the effects of weather. pirate_look.gifpirate_laugh2.gif

Thank you!

Excellent market square. I always like these scenes, and you filled it with lots of good minifigs and accessories. And I happen to like the cobblestone just the way it is. Good work.

And... Approved by Leadership :thumbup:

(Possibly the last time I say that... :pir-wink: )

What's not to like? You've got pigs, you've got chillis, you've got croissants, you've got carrots, you've got a tasty little monkey...my mouth is watering at the thought of it all. Lots of lovely vignettes here, its like ten builds in one.

Nive crowded scenery, with a great mix of people. And nice floor.

Maybe a picture from one far end to the other could have shown the crowed area even better?

Very nice busy feel, and excellent photos :classic:

One small suggestion for improvement however is for the last (overview) shot that you could move the camera a bit further back and zoom a bit more instead, so you don't magnify the front of the build as much.

Thank you! I've had that bone table-scrap lying around for ever so long and I was glad to finally find a good use for it!

I really like the busy feeling, great job

Thanks!

Thank you! That's a good idea for a picture angle... can't remember now if I tried it out and thought it didn't look quite right or if I just forgot!

Thanks Gideon! Good point. I certainly fall under the very-short-shooting-range category. I almost never zoom and almost always get as close as I can to avoid having to crop extensively. For close ups that can be a 2-4 inch range at times! pir_laugh2.gif Most of the time I find it works fine but sometimes it does lead to a bit of distortion. Will try to keep the zooming possibility in mind!

I could have sworn that I had already rated this as a fine busy market scene!

pirate_classic.gif Thanks!

Is this considered bumping? Hope not!

Kai, sorry for not commenting on this beauty sooner, busy month...

I love the atmosphere on this market, so much is going on. Great details, that turn what is basically just a plain stretch of cobblestone (nice design, btw) into a vivid scenery default_wubnew.gif

The characters and merchandise are spot on. My favorite is the pig (hope it's not called Philip default_angry.gifdefault_laugh2.gif) in its cage.

Great rendition of a busy market, with a few buildings in the back and some ships in the front it might expand into a great village! thumbup.gif

Thanks! Kinda ran out of time on this one to do any buildings - maybe next market scene!
