RC 1136 Posted October 31, 2016 Posted October 31, 2016 (edited) A ghost you say, a ghost maybe. She was just like a ghost to me … Ok, alright, I will stop quoting from Les Mis, but somehow this line fits both my activity here on EB AND my latest MOC. So it’s time to take a break from taking a break, this is what I’ve created to celebrate this year’s Halloween … *** "I trust that you will treat this information strictly confidential. Find that … thing. But keep me out of your business." *** The idea was to create a less spooky scene for the occasion, as it doesn’t feature a visible ghost or monster. But ... only because you can't see a phantom it doesn't mean that it's not out there, right? And if there's somethin' strange in your neighborhood – who ya gonna call? Right, back then, with motion pictures and the Ghostbusters not even invented, you would need a real monster hunter. And certainly not everyone is fond of such a man or his business and he or she would rather not be connected to his activities in public as he (or she) could easily lose his reputation … It is told that the following scene took place many years ago, on a cold and misty evening in October, in the small town of Brick's Hollow, somewhere in the North East of Legoland. With removed furniture and minifigs: Happy Halloween and spooky regards, RC Edited October 31, 2016 by RC 1136 Quote
LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted October 31, 2016 Posted October 31, 2016 Superb MOC! Excellent design and beautiful atmosphere! Quote
TAFOL Posted October 31, 2016 Posted October 31, 2016 Beautiful build. I especially like the capes for the rug. Nice part usage. What are those dark bluish gray ornamental things on the walls? They look like Nexo Knights-shields cut in half, but I can't find them anywhere on Bricklink. Quote
Littleworlds Posted November 6, 2016 Posted November 6, 2016 Wow! This is very atmospheric and beautifully furnished with a very inventive use of pieces. Really impressive! I also like the background and the filter you used. Very subtle, but creates a perfect vintage-feel. Quote

The Architect Posted November 6, 2016 Posted November 6, 2016 Fantastic build! You do a wonderful job of using certain pieces in unorthodox ways. Quote
RC 1136 Posted November 6, 2016 Author Posted November 6, 2016 (edited) Hey guys, thank you all for approving my work! On 31.10.2016 at 2:52 PM, TAFOL said: Beautiful build.

You do a wonderful job of using certain pieces in unorthodox ways. Haha, usually it's me just wondering how some people come up with part usages I would never think of. It's quite funny that those jetpacks are in fact one of my least favourite parts. I didn't like them until the moment I took them upside down by accident and with that solved my problem of missing ornaments for the walls. My first thougt was to use them as gas lights (with transparent 1x1 cones on top), but I felt them to be far too bulky for such a small MOC. The "cape rug" on the other side is some rather popular technique, I think. But sometimes it works far better than a brick-built solution – and as for me it adds some smooth contrast to all the brickwork. But still, I'm glad you like it.

The background is just a CC-licenced pic from flickr (link in the picture description on my page) with a semi-transparent, tan-coloured layer on top and a basic PS light effect filter added to the whole picture. I'm probably going tu use it for future models as well, as this is just a litte excerpt of a bigger story I've been thinking of for quite a while ... Regards, RC Edited May 20, 2017 by RC 1136 Quote

The part that stood out to me was the use of the frogs! Quote
Svendp Posted November 7, 2016 Posted November 7, 2016 Awesome use of the frogs. I also like the wall decoration Quote
