My MOC pharos

[Blue Dolphin]

This is my largest MOC and the first posting here

I like those two stair which are the selling point of the pharos

A LED bulb was hidden within the flame

I hope you can give me some opinions for improvement

First version appeared in "MINIFIGS.NET Five Anniversary"

Second version appeared in another event "CITY BRICKS Heat Up Your Heart"

Its great just seems a bit open. Then again lego would loveit as a set for playability. A LED light that glows is a great idea.

My main problem is Harry Potter stairs. They're not my favourite pieces.

Another glorious MOC! There was a drought of good MOCs for a while and now we're being blessed with them every day. It's wonderful!

[El Bucanero]

What an eyecatching building! Well done.

Thanks for reminding me I still need a lighthouse.

Interesting design, never saw one like this before.

Looks very good!

A great introduction, welcome Blue Dolphin! :-)

A very charming work with a pretty color scheme. I like the stairs, and even

the use of that Bionicle rock piece is interesting and fits well. Neat! *sweet*

Well done, I like the blue white colour scheme, and the round stairs and LED light are cool to *y*

[Capn Frank]

Great work Mr. Dolphin *y*

This is pretty impressive.

What does pharos mean though? :-$

Just so you know, I've added this MOC to the Land-Based MOC Index in the Non-military section.

Thanx for sharing. *sweet*

I'm not sure what does it mean, but I think it IS the lighthouse or something to do with the lighthouse. I remember playing a videogame in the past, and there was a lighthouse and a name PHAROS :-D Not 100% sure, that they are connected...and I remember some history stuff, but I'm not sure about that at all. I have a bad memory :-) Somebody who has the wisdom, may answer better.

Very nice indeed! That light blue isn't my favourite colour, though :-X Other than that, great job *y*

Sorry about that :-P

Pharos means lighthouse

Quote from http://dictionary.reference.com/

1. a small peninsula in N Egypt, near Alexandria: site of ancient lighthouse built by Ptolemy.

2. the lighthouse on this peninsula. Compare Seven Wonders of the World.

3. any lighthouse or beacon to direct sailors.

Fantastic, I love the colour scheme, it makes a nice change from the usual white and red MOCs, and the use of an LED bulb sounds interesting!

Great job! :-)

[SlyOwl]

I like this! *y*

Yes, I was wondering what piece it was...gotta get me one of 'em! Which set did it come in? :-P

And it's been frontpaged on Classic Pirates (eventually X-D )

[Cardinal Brick]

I like it alot, the idea of an LED to provide light is a good one and it's very well hidden I doubt I'd hae ever realised it was there. There cross is well made and the use of the trans-blue piece is well executed.

[BlueBard]

Nice MOC *y* I specially like the top!
