Vorkosigan Posted June 30, 2015 Posted June 30, 2015 I had the idea to do a MOC of a tower under construction, and from there decided to extend it into a three part build showing the transformation of the landscape. In the Beginning Progress The Watch Quote
Regenerate builder Posted June 30, 2015 Posted June 30, 2015 Neat! I especially like the tree in thr first picture. Quote
TitusV Posted June 30, 2015 Posted June 30, 2015 Great idea! Nice build. I especially like the evergreens, how did you make them? I would like to know that, because i have only five normal leafs, but a lot of these plants Quote
Vorkosigan Posted June 30, 2015 Author Posted June 30, 2015 Thanks everyone. I especially like the evergreens, how did you make them? I got the idea from a tree technique thread on here. Basically its a stack of these: set at 45 degree angles. You can put 1x1 plates between them to make a slightly sparser tree. I did 1 flower stem around the top, then 2, then several rows of 3. Of course you can vary this as you like. Quote

Isundir Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 Lovely MOC's but I would have also loved seeing some woodcutters/clearing the area MOC Quote
Vorkosigan Posted July 2, 2015 Author Posted July 2, 2015 Good idea, I have another concept for this scene as well so I may make a couple more variations before I disassemble it. Quote
Captain Dee Posted July 2, 2015 Posted July 2, 2015 This is a great idea. Pity more builders don't do the same. My favorite part is the scene with the lower tower walls surrounded by the wooden scaffolding. It looks so busy, and the different tools and the lifting mechanism are nice. The landscape is good too, but I also would've liked to see them clearing it off. Good work! Quote
KeteR_u_S Posted July 3, 2015 Posted July 3, 2015 Great work! I realy like your steps of the MOC building! Quote
Stelario Posted July 5, 2015 Posted July 5, 2015 To be honest the construction part looks better then the finished tower :) But it's just my opinion "_" Quote
Nagol of Fortfield Posted July 5, 2015 Posted July 5, 2015 Amazing! Those trees are awesome! I also like it how in the construction of the tower, you can see the workers mixing mortar. Keep it up! Quote
songwm Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 Great progress photo. I like the 4th photo the most! Quote
tweedbean Posted July 9, 2015 Posted July 9, 2015 Love what you have done here, getting some real inspiration to get building today. Quote
BrickCurve Posted July 10, 2015 Posted July 10, 2015 (edited) Good idea with the tower under construction. One thing though, the landscaping in all three stages of the build (but especially the last stage) is a bit sparse. One suggestion to improve that, would be to invest in some grass stalks (http://brickset.com/parts/374128) to add into the overall landscaping and build up a more layered, wild landscape. e.g. Edited July 10, 2015 by BrickCurve Quote
Balbo Posted July 10, 2015 Posted July 10, 2015 Wow, I love those trees in your creation . Furthermore I like the construction of the tower Quote
