Blue Dolphin Posted February 5, 2008 (edited) This is my largest MOC and the first posting here I like those two stair which are the selling point of the pharos A LED bulb was hidden within the flame I hope you can give me some opinions for improvement First version appeared in "MINIFIGS.NET Five Anniversary" Second version appeared in another event "CITY BRICKS Heat Up Your Heart" Back Enjoy :-$ Edited February 6, 2008 by phred Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Ka-Boom Posted February 5, 2008 Its great just seems a bit open. Then again lego would loveit as a set for playability. A LED light that glows is a great idea. My main problem is Harry Potter stairs. They're not my favourite pieces. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mister Phes Posted February 5, 2008 Another glorious MOC! There was a drought of good MOCs for a while and now we're being blessed with them every day. It's wonderful! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
El Bucanero Posted February 5, 2008 What an eyecatching building! Well done. Thanks for reminding me I still need a lighthouse. Interesting design, never saw one like this before. Looks very good! A great introduction, welcome Blue Dolphin! :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Asuka Posted February 5, 2008 A very charming work with a pretty color scheme. I like the stairs, and even the use of that Bionicle rock piece is interesting and fits well. Neat! *sweet* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pietje Posted February 5, 2008 Well done, I like the blue white colour scheme, and the round stairs and LED light are cool to *y* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Capn Frank Posted February 6, 2008 Great work Mr. Dolphin *y* This is pretty impressive. What does pharos mean though? :-$ Just so you know, I've added this MOC to the Land-Based MOC Index in the Non-military section. Thanx for sharing. *sweet* P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mile85 Posted February 6, 2008 (edited) What does pharos mean though? :-$ I'm not sure what does it mean, but I think it IS the lighthouse or something to do with the lighthouse. I remember playing a videogame in the past, and there was a lighthouse and a name PHAROS :-D Not 100% sure, that they are connected...and I remember some history stuff, but I'm not sure about that at all. I have a bad memory :-) Somebody who has the wisdom, may answer better. Very nice indeed! That light blue isn't my favourite colour, though :-X Other than that, great job *y* Edited February 6, 2008 by Mile85 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blue Dolphin Posted February 6, 2008 (edited) What does pharos mean though? :-$ Sorry about that :-P Pharos means lighthouse Quote from http://dictionary.reference.com/ 1. a small peninsula in N Egypt, near Alexandria: site of ancient lighthouse built by Ptolemy. 2. the lighthouse on this peninsula. Compare Seven Wonders of the World. 3. any lighthouse or beacon to direct sailors. Edited February 6, 2008 by Blue Dolphin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lord Of Pies Posted February 7, 2008 Fantastic, I love the colour scheme, it makes a nice change from the usual white and red MOCs, and the use of an LED bulb sounds interesting! Great job! :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SlyOwl Posted February 29, 2008 I like this! *y* ..The use of that Bionicle rock piece is interesting and fits well. Neat! *sweet* Yes, I was wondering what piece it was...gotta get me one of 'em! Which set did it come in? :-P And it's been frontpaged on Classic Pirates (eventually X-D ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cardinal Brick Posted February 29, 2008 I like it alot, the idea of an LED to provide light is a good one and it's very well hidden I doubt I'd hae ever realised it was there. There cross is well made and the use of the trans-blue piece is well executed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
