Etzel Posted April 19, 2011 (edited) The Gnome lives a quiet and peaceful life in the forest where he has carved out his home in an old tree stump. He passes the days with fishing in the nearby pond. He is very shy which might explain why he has been seen by so few tall-people. Yes, he has a small gold treasure too, just like every small humanoid forest creature has. Flickr link This build might look easier then it was but the stump almost got me... eh stumped... It was very fragile during the build but in the end it turned out quite steady. The Gnome is a really nice minifig I think. I like the hat very much and I hope we someday get it in white (for Smurfs! ). Some dislike the Gnome for being to similar to the Fisherman from S3 but the only similar things are the beard and the fishing pole (which is in anther colour) and since both those pieces are very nice IMHO I still like the Gnome very much. Now I'll need to figure out which S4 minifig to do next... Edited May 29, 2011 by Rufus Indexed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Decale Posted April 19, 2011 (edited) I love your landscape Etzel! The three color water gives an idea of the depth of the pond The interior of the hutt is very cute How his the chimney held at this angle? Edited April 19, 2011 by Decale Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stardusty Posted April 19, 2011 Your MOC makes me want to live alone in forest. It's beautiful, bravo! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Etzel Posted April 19, 2011 I love your landscape Etzel! The three color water gives an idea of the depth of the pond The interior of the hutt is very cute How his the chimney hold at this angle? By a lever. Not very stable but it works for a photo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Decale Posted April 19, 2011 By a lever. Not very stable but it works for a photo Oh thanks, I finally figured it out when I took a look at your 3 big flowers which are (I suppose) on a little 3branch grass part. That's a clever way to put some variety in the greenery! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Big Cam Posted April 20, 2011 This is fantastic, the scenery way out does the new gnome figure. I love his hut and the landscape. I'm such a fan of tiles, I love it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
XimenaPaulina Posted April 20, 2011 You sure are on a 'MOCing roll' Etzel, yet another creative build for a CMS4 minifig. The whole vig does exude a peaceful and serene environment for our little Gnome friend's humble abode, especially with the surrounding verdant greeneries and running water. The tree house is very well done and really looks comfy and cozy inside. Great overall work once again! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trent Posted April 20, 2011 This is a lovely little scene, and I really like the interior of the tree. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Spark That Bled Posted April 20, 2011 Adorable. And I agree with Trent that the interior of the stump is especially neat. The water is nice too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
