casewindu Posted November 13, 2007 Posted November 13, 2007 Very nice Athos! Very well made a great model but why is the green hat up so high? Quote
Athos Posted November 13, 2007 Author Posted November 13, 2007 Very nice Athos! Very well made a great model but why is the green hat up so high? Because Gessler put his hat on a pole and made everyone bow to it, as they passed... Tell didn't and was punished by having to shoot the apple off his son's head. William Tell Steve Quote
Batbrick Posted November 13, 2007 Posted November 13, 2007 Very nice Athos! *y* I love the colouring of the buildings, it mixes well with each other. I feel sorry for Tell having to shoot the apple off of his son! Very good! Batbrick Away! >:-) Quote
SirNadroj Posted November 13, 2007 Posted November 13, 2007 Shoot You took my idea! >:-( :-P Very nice! I like the tudor buildings, too! *sweet* Quote
BrickBob Studpants Posted November 13, 2007 Posted November 13, 2007 (edited) Very well done, Athos! I especially like the figs and the nice details, the buildings are also cool. *y* I'm really surprised that the story of William (in German "Wilhelm") Tell is also known outside of Switzerland! :-D Edited November 13, 2007 by Lego-Freak Quote
Athos Posted November 13, 2007 Author Posted November 13, 2007 I'm really surprised that the story of William (in German "Wilhelm") Tell is also known outside of Switzerland!:-D Its not as well known as, say, Robin Hood, but I do remember reading some version of it when I was a kid. I haven't encountered it recently though. Steve Quote
iamded Posted November 14, 2007 Posted November 14, 2007 The buildings are really cool, and have nice simple interiors. *sweet* *y* The ground is cool, I like how you've got the grass poking up in any patch of dirt it can find. :-D The well's a nice touch too, overall very neat! *y* *y* ~Peace Quote
Siegfried Posted November 16, 2007 Posted November 16, 2007 This is by far your best entry! *wub* I love it and I can't give you any advice.... except please don't change it too much! :-P The buildings are beautiful, the ground works very well, and I feel that you have captured the story quite well. (I have heard of William Tell. ;-) ) Quote
Eurobricks Emperor Bonaparte Posted November 16, 2007 Eurobricks Emperor Posted November 16, 2007 Here in Belgium the story of Willem Tell is very well know. You've made a beautiful entry for the CCC5 Athos. I shows what the story is all about in one scene. Quote
Sir Dillon Posted November 16, 2007 Posted November 16, 2007 I've heard the story a few times, although I'd always imagined it more outside, next to a tree. This version makes more sense, though. I really like the cobblestone street, and those tudor building are nicely built. The way the spectators are sort of gathering around is nice too. Overall, I think you have done a very good job capturing the scene. :-) Quote
