MKJoshA Posted July 21 Posted July 21 Spring was slow to show her face this year. The snow was slowly beginning to melt, but it would be awhile yet before blossoms began to blow in Mitgardia. Andres, the miller of Dalig Ulv, was busy today. Many families were bringing last year's grain to be milled for flour. They had planned to save it for planting, but the long winter meant their food stores were running low. Quote
SimWies Posted July 21 Posted July 21 Love the base, it has a really natural feel to it! And overall really nice build I might have to borrow parts of your mill design some time in the future... Lovely small tree design on the front left side too! Quote
Grover Posted July 25 Posted July 25 Gorgeous! Looks to me like a Dalig Ulv HSS build! I love the base where you have those long curved slope pieces for the snow. It looks great, like huge drifts. The mill is of course the centerpiece and looks good. I like how it's not this huge mill that we sometimes see as this stylized overblown building. These aren't modern wind farms, they were small medieval mills, and particularly in the mountainous Mitgardian region, wind is plentiful, so a small mill would be more than adequate to grind grain. The goats are very nice, and I like how they're crowded into the foliage. For that matter, the light purple works well with the mountain climate, and the dark green around it looks more like an evergreen because of it (particularly given the pines behind it). Almost blending into the background, the stable is great! No way a horse would not need good shelter in the mountains! The steep pitched roof and the sort of passive solar design (not really an 'idea' back then but more of a common sense way to harness as much heat from sunlight as possible) is fantastic. The brown pine tops behind the house are very nice, and I like the overall muted tone of the colors, a true spring has come to the mountains look. I like how you have enough story to provide a lot of threads for ideas, but not too much to really tie it down to some intricate story. Great job, and great to see you building! Quote
LordDan Posted September 1 Posted September 1 Awesome slice of Mitgardian life! I really like the squat stone windmill; like Grover mentioned, it's perfect for Mitgardia. Quote
mrcp6d Posted September 2 Posted September 2 You put the newer big curved slope wedges to good use in the snowy corner of this build and I really like the windmill. Great Mitgardian MOC! Quote
