soccerkid6 Posted September 27, 2016 Posted September 27, 2016 I had fun experimenting with the cross bracing below the platform, and trying to simulate hay bales around the targets Even in the snow, Mitgardian archers continue their practice. There are a few more pictures on brickbuilt. Your comments and suggestions are always welcome, I should be posting the second phase fairly soon Quote
Legofin2012 Posted September 27, 2016 Posted September 27, 2016 This looks great, the hay bales with the arrows sticking out are a very cool idea. Although I really like the base, it has a really nice looking texture :) Quote
MiloNelsiano Posted September 27, 2016 Posted September 27, 2016 Looks like they need to keep practicing a while! Very nice build, I especially like the little scaffolding. Looking forward to phase 2! Quote
Henjin_Quilones Posted September 27, 2016 Posted September 27, 2016 The platform looks great! The straw bales look good, and it looks like it was a good idea to put them there to stop all the arrows that miss. I second Milo, I think they need to keep practicing! Maybe they'll get an arrow to actually hit a target someday... A great little build. Quote
TitusV Posted September 27, 2016 Posted September 27, 2016 Tough I'm not absolutely convinced of the bales, but that's totally made up by the crossed bars! Quote
en_zoo Posted September 27, 2016 Posted September 27, 2016 As I said on Flickr: those bracing turned out pretty good! Phase 2! Phase 2!! oh and I think I'm just gonna call you the Snowman.. Quote

I wanted to do something a bit different with the border, and we had gotten more of those 1x4 tiles with two studs at BFVA, so I decided to use them. 1 hour ago, MiloNelsiano said: Looks like they need to keep practicing a while!

Thank you, I was wondering how many people would notice the atrocious aim With this target design it wasn't possible to put any arrows on the actual bulls eye. Maybe they retrieve all their hits sooner than the misses. 1 hour ago, Henjin_Quilones said: The platform looks great!

Thanks, I tried to think through what a real range would look like. 1 hour ago, TitusV said: Tough I'm not absolutely convinced of the bales, but that's totally made up by the crossed bars!

Kai NRG Posted September 27, 2016 Posted September 27, 2016 Really nice little build SK, the hay bales are excellent and so of course is the snowscape! 56 minutes ago, soccerkid6 said: ...Thank you, I was wondering how many people would notice the atrocious aim ...

Garmadon Posted September 27, 2016 Posted September 27, 2016 Very nice little build, SK, the platform and bracing is excellent, and the hay bails and targets are neat as well! The base and the way you put the beard above the quiver on the archer to the left so you could turn his head are actually my favorite details, though! Looking forward to Phase II! 3 hours ago, Kai NRG said: The cold must be getting to them! Base insinuation! Cold never bothers Mitgardians! Quote
Leonardo da Bricki Posted September 27, 2016 Posted September 27, 2016 Nice build, the scaffolding is the coolest part, great technique! Quote

LittleJohn Posted September 28, 2016 Posted September 28, 2016 Very nice start to the Archery phases, Isaac. The hay bales around the targets was a cool idea, but my favorite part is definitely the scaffolding The snow-scaping and border are nice too though Quote
Mpyromaxos Posted September 28, 2016 Posted September 28, 2016 Nice archery training ground! the 2x2 round tiles you used for target, from which set they are?? Quote

BrickCurve Posted September 29, 2016 Posted September 29, 2016 Nice one. I am really impressed by the hay bales, they look really great! The platform is excellent as well. Quote
dathil Posted September 29, 2016 Posted September 29, 2016 I like the technique for the platform, I might want to borrow that, I have a use for it in mind already ;) Really great build overall! Quote
