Disco86 Posted November 10, 2014 Posted November 10, 2014 This is my 1st entry to the CCCXII - Category: The Best Intentions A Tatar in the wide plains of north-west asia has some problems with a tent, caused by speeding on horse. Thanks for commenting, I think there are coming a lot of castle builds until the end of the year. Quote
Slegengr Posted November 10, 2014 Posted November 10, 2014 Very nice build, Disco86! The mottling on the ground looks excellent. I particularly like that tent and the use of Ewok glider wings and PotC sails. The result is very realistic! Nice use of the Hun Warrior CMF as well! I think it might look better if there was more elevation difference in the ground than just one or two plates. The edges could be "hilled" up more than the path down the center. Brick on, Disco86!

Legogal Posted November 10, 2014 Posted November 10, 2014 WOW! Nice tent! Could you possibly place poles over each tent rope stake maybe with flags flying to keep horses and folks from running into the stakes and lines? I agree that some elevation differences would add interest to the "plains" which could be rolling hills in Mongolia. Your use of dark orange on the ground is really eye catching. And usually it seems that there are some sheep and/or goats close to the tents. (To see this, try watching the film Babies; one of the four children starring in the movie lives in Mongolia.) Quote
Disco86 Posted November 13, 2014 Author Posted November 13, 2014 Thanks for your comments ! I did not add to much elevation differences because I wanted it to look like a really flat plain. But you are right that it could have be done better. Actually the build was a little bit rushed :) Quote
Black Numenorean Posted November 13, 2014 Posted November 13, 2014 you are a really master in moc! I would like to see your lego room ! Quote

kabel Posted November 13, 2014 Posted November 13, 2014 wow, the colors of the steppe come very close to what I've seen in Iceland a few days ago! And nice tent too! Quote
Ardelon Posted November 13, 2014 Posted November 13, 2014 (edited) Great MOC. The tent is very well thought out (an inside look would be nice!). I like the landscape as well. But I would use the short bow for the Tatars, as these Asian nomads used short recurved bows instead of longbows... Edited November 13, 2014 by Ardelon Quote
Captain Braunsfeld Posted November 13, 2014 Posted November 13, 2014 Nice MOC, great tent. I was wondering how it was done - thanks to Slegengr for the explanation. I am also impressed by your room! Brick on! Quote
Black Numenorean Posted November 14, 2014 Posted November 14, 2014 Unbelievable! With that, you can easily build mocs! Quote
Fletcher Floyd Posted November 14, 2014 Posted November 14, 2014 Another great Entry for the Contest, Disco! You seem to be quite busy these days:-) wish you all the best for the Contest! Quote
Yzalirk Posted November 15, 2014 Posted November 15, 2014 Very nice build and I really like how you made the tent. Quote
Jacob Nion Posted November 15, 2014 Posted November 15, 2014 I love that tent. I can imagine that was fun to build. Quote
Disco86 Posted November 17, 2014 Author Posted November 17, 2014 Thanks a lot for your cool feedback ! wow, the colors of the steppe come very close to what I've seen in Iceland a few days ago! You make me jealous, would love to see Iceland too. Great MOC. The tent is very well thought out (an inside look would be nice!). I like the landscape as well. But I would use the short bow for the Tatars, as these Asian nomads used short recurved bows instead of longbows... There is nothing really special in the inside, the sails are fixed to the ground with 1x1 round plates and just one beam in the center of the tent, the shape comes just from the cloth itself. Thinking about the bows again you are absolutely right, should have been short bows. You seem to be quite busy these days:-) Yes there is a lot to build, but I am going to increase my building speed after this week, so there is a lot coming... I can imagine that was fun to build. Yes, because it was something totally different. Kind of difficult on some parts, but great experience ! Quote
cesbrick Posted November 17, 2014 Posted November 17, 2014 Love it Disco!! The tent is awesome but the landscape really catch my eye! Also the base is top notch! Good luck to the contest. Quote

Thanks ! Hope you are getting some cool builds in for the CCC, if you could build fast enough the Master Builder title is possible for you Quote
Adolfo Posted December 14, 2014 Posted December 14, 2014 What a charming MOC! I loved the colors, but the tent is really awesome. Congrats! Quote
