Dunedain Posted March 28, 2015 Posted March 28, 2015 (edited) Here we have a project I've been working on over the past few weeks. Its a MOC/MOD of about 10 of the new 2015 Imperial soldiers outpost sets, 4 of the Soldiers Forts, and even a set or 2 from the 2009 Pirate line. In the background is one of my 2 Imperial Flagships, and all the sets have been combined, MOC'ed, and MOD'ed, into whats supposed to be a giant Imperial Port and trading center. This MOC is supposed to create the feeling of a very busy, hustle and bustling fishing port that's controlled by the Imperials. This is my first time showing a MOC here. I hope you all enjoy it, and there is a link to my flickr with over 100 pics to enjoy. https://www.flickr.c.../131395669@N06/ 20150325_012210 by homeinvestors777, on Flickr 20150324_220557-1 by homeinvestors777, on Flickr 20150325_004156 by homeinvestors777, on Flickr 20150324_235526 by homeinvestors777, on Flickr 20150324_235802 by homeinvestors777, on Flickr 20150324_225348 by homeinvestors777, on Flickr 20150324_223111 by homeinvestors777, on Flickr 20150325_000654 by homeinvestors777, on Flickr 20150325_015751 by homeinvestors777, on Flickr 20150325_002855 by homeinvestors777, on Flickr 20150325_004830 by homeinvestors777, on Flickr 20150324_225745-1 by homeinvestors777, on Flickr 20150325_000155 by homeinvestors777, on Flickr 20150324_235802 by homeinvestors777, on Flickr 20150324_222455 by homeinvestors777, on Flickr Edited March 28, 2015 by Dunedain Quote
Captain Braunsfeld Posted March 28, 2015 Posted March 28, 2015 Wow, there's a lot of stuff going on there. I am impressed by the huge treasure and especially by pic 3 - what baseplate did you use for this? Quote
Kolonialbeamter Posted March 28, 2015 Posted March 28, 2015 Yeah, finally that ship's flying the right colors! Nice combo you got there, I like the 'official-style-yet-actually-useful' concept. And especially the amount of detail you put into your minifigs! 'Female soldier torso' plus judge's wig work well for higher ranking bluecoat personal. Did the same myself. And the idea might catch on LOVE the treasure!! Must have spent a fortune on these gold ingots. Gotta continue watching now. Keep it up! Quote
Sigolf Brimabane Posted March 28, 2015 Posted March 28, 2015 Cool :D Lots of nice stuff going on. The fishing scene is a bit macabre </3 Quote
Plaid Beard Posted March 28, 2015 Posted March 28, 2015 At first glance I thought the guy in the middle boat was trying to whack the seagull with the oar instead of the octopus. This is a great layout that I'm going to have to spend some quality time studying to get all the little details. Quote
Dunedain Posted March 28, 2015 Author Posted March 28, 2015 (edited) Thanks for the comments guys, I appreciate it. The baseplate is one I had sitting around, but I believe its from a town/city coast guard line from a few years back. To those who want to see more detail, and take it all in, I recommend clicking on my Flickr link, you wont be disappointed. The area with the baseplate is supposed to be the "entrance" to the interior of the island. The harbor master is sitting at his desk with his slave boy at his side. All transactions go thru him, and he keeps his "stash" hidden under the loose boards to the left. behind his desk. The area all the way to the right, depicts another transaction where merchants are selling whale bones, teeth, and horns from rare sea creatures. Behind the merchants desk, the "prison" cell actually holds stacks of gold for the days transactions. The picture with all the treasure depicts a weeks worth of sales from the port. The fisherman swinging the oar is trying to fend off the octopus, lol. Fishing life back then would have been a bit macabre. Edited March 28, 2015 by Dunedain Quote
Eurobricks Emperor Bonaparte Posted March 28, 2015 Eurobricks Emperor Posted March 28, 2015 That's quite a lively 'town' you've made. Lot's of action and lot's of stuff happening. Kinda reminds me of Nassau from the Black Sails series I'm watching. Btw, I've changed the title of your topic into lowercase (titles in all uppercase are not allowed per our forum regulations) Quote
Dunedain Posted March 28, 2015 Author Posted March 28, 2015 Thanks for editing that for me Bonaparte, sorry bout that. I won't lie when I say that I am a fan of the show "Black Sails", really any Pirate fan should love it. While I didn't design this layout based specifically on that show, it was indeed responsible for the "feel" of it, and that's pretty cool that you noticed that. Quote
Hive Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 Very nice! I too am reminded of Black Sails when looking through the pictures, great job with the details and life of it all! Quote
Hindenburg Posted April 1, 2015 Posted April 1, 2015 You did a great job with this moc Dunedain!! Maybe you should change a bit the water and put some transparent pieces on it to make it more realistic?! And another good thing: The imperial flagship is blue ! Blue coats for the win! Quote
Sir E Fullner Posted April 1, 2015 Posted April 1, 2015 Oh mama, that's a lot of booty! And it's an amazing fort, as well. Quote
Dunedain Posted April 2, 2015 Author Posted April 2, 2015 Thanks for the kind words, believe it or not, that is actually not all the treasure/gold, that I own. In fact if you look at the pics with the transaction containing the whale/sea creature bones, teeth, and tusks, the "jail" cells behind the transaction is full of even more chrome gold ingots stacked up behind the bars. If you look closely you can see the shine of the gold, lol. Quote
Capitain Guga Posted April 2, 2015 Posted April 2, 2015 Loved this MOC ! It's very well detailed! Quote
Dunedain Posted April 5, 2015 Author Posted April 5, 2015 (edited) Thanks Captain Guga, for the kind words. Edited April 5, 2015 by Dunedain Quote
blackdeathgr Posted April 12, 2015 Posted April 12, 2015 Nice detailed MOC-a-lot! It's always a pleasure for my eyes the sight of sooo many humming minifigs! Quote
