MiloNelsiano Posted July 25, 2016 Posted July 25, 2016 (edited) Hi all, I started this MOC quite a while ago, and finished it a while ago as well. I really had to rush finishing it to make a deadline for the Summer Joust, as one of Team Avalonia's members was unable to participate, so there are a few features I'm not completely satsified with. I had planned to fix these at some point and take nicer, unrushed pictures, but a ridiculously busy schedule has pushed it too far back. Since my son has now played with this MOC and disassembled it as he is known to do, I figured I should just post the pictures as they are, since I can't do much to change them. Anyway, C&C is appreciated as always. I hope you enjoy! Edit: A short story will be added later about the troops marching towards Nocturnus to aid those in need.

Merc4Hire Posted July 25, 2016 Posted July 25, 2016 (edited) Wow looks great! Really captures the marketplace feel with all the food stands and the buildings make a good backdrop. Also excellent foliage on the tree and npu on the crutches. Edited July 25, 2016 by Merc4Hire Quote
bricklover Posted July 25, 2016 Posted July 25, 2016 Love everything about this! The houses are the best! Quote
Henjin_Quilones Posted July 25, 2016 Posted July 25, 2016 A very lively, very Avalonian scene. I particularly like the use of the ball joints on the roofs; it is practical and creates a sense of detail. The firewood cart is also quite nice. My favorite element of it is probably the little wall around the tree built of small stones; you did a great job with curving that. Some more texture to the ground, either cobblestones or just some more layers of dirt, might have made it a bit more eye-catching. Nonetheless, I think it looks great. Quote
TitusV Posted July 25, 2016 Posted July 25, 2016 Great job, especially in the hurry we were for the contest. I like all the houses (Nice NPU on the handles of the door of the utter left house, to pick a detail), but I also like all the minifigs! Quote
BrickCurve Posted July 26, 2016 Posted July 26, 2016 Nice one. I really like the wall texture on the houses and the use of those joints on the roof. A couple of things could be improved, such as the texturing on the ground near the stalls. Adding some 1 x 2 plates would really break it up a bit and make it appear more natural. Some more flower stems would help as well. An irregular base would work really well here in my opinion, though it can be hard to get a strong one without using a lot of plates. Last thing, the tree is a bit flat, adding some more leaves to the top would really improve it. Overall, great build! Quote
soccerkid6 Posted July 27, 2016 Posted July 27, 2016 The crutches and mixel joint uses are very clever Good color choices for the houses, and I like the large number of vendor stands in the marketplace. The tree with surrounding wall is a great finishing touch to add to the Avalonian look Quote
LordDan Posted July 29, 2016 Posted July 29, 2016 Great build! I like the background houses, they are all recognizeably similar but the small details like the crutches as hinges and the varied colors make them unique. I really like the tree too, but it does kind of block view of the middle house. Quote
The Maestro Posted July 30, 2016 Posted July 30, 2016 As I have already told you, a great build and it represents Avalonia perfectly :D Quote
de Gothia Posted July 30, 2016 Posted July 30, 2016 Looks so great!! I Love the houses as they create a really Nice background! I agree about the beautiful tree though, it feels a little big and hides the white house Quote
Elostirion Posted July 31, 2016 Posted July 31, 2016 Fantastic MOC, I really love the idea of just showing the facades. Also the marketplace and the whole scene are full of life, great to look at. I would have loved to see it with a non-white background, though. Some light blue or light grey could have added some more contrast and put more focus on the actual MOC. Quote
Kai NRG Posted August 6, 2016 Posted August 6, 2016 Nice colors here, neat use of the crutches for the door! You've got some great activity going on here as well! Quote
Tezclatipoca Posted August 9, 2016 Posted August 9, 2016 Excellent MOC ! Great market place. I like all the activity going on and the knights passing through the place. Great houses for the background. Great job ! Quote
LittleJohn Posted August 11, 2016 Posted August 11, 2016 Great color choice with the sand blue for the house on the left! Very nice job with the tree and marketplace too, I like the various stalls Quote
Brandon Stark Posted August 16, 2016 Posted August 16, 2016 (edited) The houses are very colorful, and make a nice background for the market. The market scene is also very lively. I also like the crutches on the door and the stone circle around the tree. I can't wait to read the story about the soldiers marching to Nocturnus. Edited August 16, 2016 by Brandon Stark Quote
