[Freebuild] Eirikr the Druid’s Hut

[Ben S]

I'm happy to show you my first freebuild for Guilds of Historica  Hope you like it!

Deep within the vast forests of Mitgardia lives Eirikr the Druid with the orphan twins he adopted, Leaf and Hazel. They live in harmony with the forest, and although they seldom venture beyond it, their presence is well known and attracts visitors from all over Mitgardia seeking advice, potions, and remedies.
One of Eirikr's most crucial tasks is creating the potion named Pyrestim, whose ingredients are incredibly rare and difficult to gather, and whose preparation is lengthy, making the potion scarce. Each year, a party from Frostwatch Keep arrives to collect it and bring it back to the keep, where it is vital.

Some interior details:

Nice work! Love the minifig placement, makes it look very natural. The fireplace is also very nice, might have to copy that some time in the future

Thanks!  I took the idea from the medieval blacksmith.

Looks great.  I like the non-right angles in the stone building.

Great angles on that house and nice work on the trees Ben. Interesting plot with the Pyrestim!

Welcome to the guilds! Very nice work on the shape of the building, with the angled lower section and steep roofs. I don’t really love the patchwork color dark blue/ light bley stonework, but that’s more my personal preference/ style and you did a good job blending them and have incorporated some nice texturing / sideways building in there. Overall a great build and I can’t wait to see more!

@jtooker @T-86(swe) Thanks guys! I took the inspiration for the house's shape from the 'Up' house.

Thanks for the warm welcome! Well, I ran out of grey and had to use both light and dark bluish grey . I definitively have many ideas to build

Welcome!  It's great to see a new face here!  I really like your build.  The roofline is a bit reminiscent of the Mill Village Raid from years ago, and I like the scale that you have chosen. It feels very much like a traditional Lego set.  I think you've done a nice job adding texture and color to the stonework without going overboard and making it too busy. The corners on the rounded part with the window is particularly nice.  I love what you did with the firewood stack.  The well is quite nice, a very clean, compact build.  I think you've done an excellent job keeping the muted green and brown palette on the outside to signify a deep forest, but you oppose that nicely with color that pops in the chair and bookshelf on the inside.  The fireplace is well done, and I like the inclusion of a shovel.  You have done a very nice job, particularly on the interior, of getting a lot of detail into a set-sized build, which is pretty tricky due to the space being at a premium.  I like how you have left an open ended story there as well.  Can't wait to see the next one!  Keep up the good work!

@Grover Whoa, thank you very much!  I'm very glad you liked it. Your detailed feedback really made my day! 

I hope I can come up with another GoH build soon, I already have the story thought out for at least another three.
