Gahrian Posted May 26, 2011 (edited) My first MOC since emerging from the dark ages. It is basically an expansion of the beautiful "10193 Medieval Market Village". I added a bit to the buildings and created a "just inside the city walls" feeling. This is a cross section of a much larger city. You see a part of the old city wall to the rear. This is the city that grew up between the old city wall and the new outer wall. Entering the city From above With some labels for the buildings Just inside the walls, with some guards resting View toward the old city gates and the market, with the blacksmith in front. From the other side. The old city gate and the road leading up to the castle. The market The same moc on mocpages.com Edited to conform to image size standards on eurobricks Edited May 26, 2011 by Rufus Indexed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lightningtiger Posted May 26, 2011 AWESOME creation 'Gahrian' - but please resize your photos before 'ISC' comes along. Brick On 'Gahrian' ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Duke Posted May 26, 2011 Really nice details here and an excellent first adult MOC. The walls hewn into rock work well, and I like the water running down past the blacksmith. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Abu Dun Posted May 26, 2011 A stunning way of integrating the MMV in a medieval town I especially like how you expanded the smithy and how you made the walls blend in with the mountainous parts. The way you set the figs also is interesting and adds to the scenario looking like an actual scene from the past (minus the elf, of course ) The beggar in his little shack right next to the outer wall is well done, too.

maydayartist Posted May 26, 2011 This is really beautiful. You could see the original in most of the buildings but they are absolutely smart upgraded. The exteriour is very nice too. Trees, green and a lovely track in it, what more could you need. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
I Scream Clone Posted May 26, 2011 A great creation. I love that you have incorporated a new and old walled entrance to the castle. A suggestion would be to make the inner/old wall look more beaten and run down with moss growing on the older walls. Love the Inn and Blacksmith designs and the aqueduct is a nice touch.

Gahrian Posted May 26, 2011 Thanks for all the kind words! I really appreciate it. AWESOME creation 'Gahrian' - but please resize your photos before 'ISC' comes along. Thanks for informing me. I've resized the images to conform to the guidelines. A suggestion would be to make the inner/old wall look more beaten and run down with moss growing on the older walls. Very good idea, I'll make use of your advice on the follow up. At the moment I'm working on a new MOC, but plan to make a larger version of this in the near future. I've learned a lot since I bult this one (back in january/february) Are there plans to expand the it? That would be amazing! It has already been demolished :) I'm working on another project at the moment, but the next moc will be medieval themed again, so I'll take the feedback from this thread with me. Thanks again all!
