Zilmrud Posted January 15 Posted January 15 (edited) The journey of Parzival Chapter II, part V Finding a boat [Previous Chapter, Chapter II, Part IV - The maps] Z and his crew went further west to avoid the city by the river. It was far too dangerous if there were already enemies and the mage's henchmen there. They made it to an oasis by the river where the river had created a pool of calm water. It was evening when they arrived so they decided to try to rest in the shelter of the trees during the night and then make their way to the water the next day. Early in the morning they got ready and crept closer to the water. Just as they had predicted, there were several small fishing boats on the beach and nets and fishing equipment were hanging to dry in the sun. No people could be seen near the boats this early in the morning. Hammer and Pointy went down to one of the boats while the rest of the party made their way around the pool to a sandbar by the river. Hammer and Pointy then came and picked up the others. Right-Eye had managed to get hold of some fishing equipment which they took with them in the boat. "- I hope that we all can agree that we are just borrowing this boat and equipment?" Hooves whispered. But the other were silent They paddled slowly out to the river and let the current carry them further west. (A MOC done by Andreas Lenander (Adde51) 2021 that he photographed with my figs) Spoiler The MOC itself is not my build as you can see. So I can't take credit for it. But this is a MOC that has been in the works for a long time. As you might understand, life gets in the way and other things take time in everyday life. So my plans from 2021 when this photo was posted were that I could get here faster. But that's life. A big thank you to @Adde51 for helping me photograph my figs in his MOC 2021 So now I can carry on with my series of MOCs. That probably will take some years to finnish Edited January 16 by Zilmrud Quote

LordDan Posted January 16 Posted January 16 Cool figs and an excellent scene from Adde51! Looking forward to seeing the backlog of MOCS! Quote
Kai NRG Posted January 21 Posted January 21 Fun to see this kind of collaboration. That's a really nice little bay from Andreas! Looking forward to seeing you continue your story in the new book Quote
Grover Posted January 21 Posted January 21 Gorgeous! Love the collab. The flamingo is hilarious! I like the whole scene composition and think it illustrates the story well. The tree is gorgeous, and you have a lot of busy flora near the river, as you would expect in a desert environment. The LBG slopes on the left near the river are a tad blocky. I would expect them to be worn smooth by the river, but the undercut on the other side of the river is superb! It is rare for me to find a good representation of a layered, dirt/clay riverbank with significant erosion, and you not only managed it, but it looks fantastic. Even the stud cutouts in the wedges look like erosion detail Really outstanding work. Make sure to register on the Free Builds thread! Quote
T-86(swebrickLUG) Posted January 23 Posted January 23 Hehe I remember seeing this one when it was originally posted (this was when I was stepping out of the shadows of my dark age). Glad to see it posted here, cheers for your figs and story, and Andreas build! Quote

Looking forward to seeing you continue your story in the new book Thanks. My initial idea was to incorperate this in to my last build as a extra bonus. But it became a seperate chapter in ny story. I have one small MOC before a bigger in the story. I hope a bit of exhibition stress comes in place so I can finnish it 😆 On 1/21/2026 at 9:16 PM, Grover said: Gorgeous! Love the collab.
