LittleJohn Posted June 21, 2016 (edited) This is the first module of a large collab build that Isaac and I are building for Brickfair, Virginia. We’ll be posting one new module a week. The warehouse has a full interior and working doors. I would like to claim UoP credits for the following: Landscape Design: snow and ice Hydrology: still water Anthropology: life in Mitgardia The docks of Nordheim are a busy and bustling place during the summer, but once winter arrives and the ice forms, things quiet down considerably. Still, ice fishing is a popular past time, and dock workers still inspect the warehouses to make sure all the goods are where they belong. More pictures on Brickbuilt C&C very much appreciated Edited June 21, 2016 by LittleJohn Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TitusV Posted June 21, 2016 So that was where you guys were working on! Such a pity I won't be there... Great build, I also love the inverted cano, and I'm looking forward to seeing more of this layout! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sorrelon Posted June 21, 2016 (edited) Lovely scene! Old man teaching the kid about ice fishing, while two dock workers are busy with definitely less enjoyable things. The overturned boat is nicely done and I really like that you used clear parts on the roof besides white ones. Minifigures turned out nicely, I especially liked the old man. Also, is that a fish net or a roll of cloth in the last picture? Edited June 21, 2016 by Sorrelon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Garmadon Posted June 21, 2016 Very nice scene, LJ, and glad to see that SK persuaded you to build in our Northern Guild! The snow and ice are pulled off excellently, and the warehouse and inverted ship are awesome as well! I really like that crane, the interior details, and the minifigures as well, but I imagine that using the crane with it's hook stuck in the ice would be very challenging! Great detail though, nonetheless - and is there any chance we might be seeing the ship rightside up and outfitted with a crew of Vikings? Looking forward to more builds to go along with this from you guys! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The crane's hook is actually just above the ice though You may see the ship right-side up with some vikings sometime, though probably not in this collab Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Garmadon Posted June 21, 2016 Thanks Garmadon! The crane's hook is actually just above the ice though You may see the ship right-side up with some vikings sometime, though probably not in this collab The bit of glare on the first pic really got me! I can see it's higher up in a different picture now though, good catch! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kai NRG Posted June 21, 2016 Really like how you angled the building, and the upside-down boat is great too. Very nice snowscape! +1 for the UoP credits. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Isundir Posted June 22, 2016 (edited) Fantastic work, the frozen water is it sand blue with sideways transparant bricks on top? It's the best frozen water I've seen done in LEGO. Edited June 22, 2016 by Isundir Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gabe Posted June 23, 2016 Sweet build LittleJohn! The boat has some nice shaping on it, small brick-built hulls are always tricky. I'm interested to see how the whole collab turns out! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
