Sir Gareth Posted October 6, 2014 (edited) It's that time of year again. The days are colder and shorter. The leaves begin to fall. Farmer Rudasill admires yet another successful growing season. He knows harvest grows near. This build was harder than expected due to a limited piece selection. I'm planning on picking up more parts for Phase 3. That aside, it was still enjoyable none the less. I particularly liked building the corn and tomato plants. I'm happy to finally work that scarecrow into one of my builds :) Thanks gedren_y for the pumpkin suggestion! It was a pain working with those Indy whips (they always seem to want to curl back up), but I love the end result. C&C are welcome!

Garmadon Posted October 6, 2014 Nice phase II build, Sir Gareth, it is great that you have a variety of crops in such a small build I really like the pumpkins and the corn, as well as the oval base shape Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cablefoxley Posted October 7, 2014 Nice build. The crops are very well done especially the pumpkins. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Slegengr Posted October 7, 2014 I also think you did a nice job on this vegetable field. The pumpkins are excellent. One note, since I have considered this in my own build: Corn ears grow out of the side of the stalk near the middle, rather than out of the top of the stalk. I noticed this also because I live in the heart of the corn belt in the USA, so have seen corn on a regular basis for my entire life. To implement this, I used a similar stalk strategy to yours with cones slid over a stem on the 3-stem grass piece near the middle. I do not intend that you need to fix this, as I do not think GoH needs to be founded 100% on reality, but this was something I noticed. Nice build and nice base for the build!

Nice build :) love the pumpkins and the holdings for the tomato plants :) Thanks :) Those have to be my favorite. Nice phase II build, Sir Gareth, it is great that you have a variety of crops in such a small build I really like the pumpkins and the corn, as well as the oval base shape Thank you. I guess the oval base is becoming a signature of mine ;) Nice build. The crops are very well done especially the pumpkins. Thanks! I'm quite happy with how those came out.

I know what you mean about the corn. The thought crossed my mind while building. While your way is more accurate, I like how mine looks. Very nice little build, especially the pumpkins!
