[MOC] Raiding the Blacksmith (My Second MOC)

[aps27]

A small MOC of a patrol to the remote blacksmith being ambushed.

It has been a long time since  last uploaded, having been exceedingly busy with work. I have tried to develop from and build upon some of the points mentioned on my previous MOC. 

I'm looking to experiment with different approaches to water and more architectural styles in my next MOC.

Any advise or constructive criticism would be greatly appreciated.

 

*Apologies for poor quality of images, I had to take them on an old camera*

Interesting idea with ambush. But you could did better your photo. All in all, I like your work

John Snow is right, you could make a bit less blurry photos but overall I like the moc. The blood effect is pretty cool :)

@aps27, you have some good ideas and some good techniques. The ground is good, and has a nice even, flowing slope to it. The bridge is nice, and fits very well in this scene. The blacksmith's shop is a bit too small, maybe, but effective, but does the blacksmith mind what is going on outside?

Things to work on in the future:

-Foliage. LEGO offers some nice plants, and I see you have used some here. The thing is, they are nice to mix and match. I find that the use of large plants such as 6255 or 6064 are good to use sparsely with 15279 and or 3741 to fill in between.

-Water. Clear tiles with blue underneath or blue tiles look better as water than plates, I think.

-Photography. I can say the same for myself, though. Everyone can work on their photography a little, i'd say.

Overall, nice work! Keep MOCing, I would love to see your next one!
