kris kelvin Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 This castle is extremely well done. The simplicity of this thing makes it so japanese Very well done. Quote
SuvieD Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 This is a very pretty build. The red stands out nicely, your foliage is wonderful, and you have used some very interesting techniques to get the often difficult shapes in Japanese architecture. This is one of those builds that solidify LEGO as more than a childs toy. This is art. Quote
oo7 Posted January 22, 2009 Author Posted January 22, 2009 Hey, great to see some familiar characters here; your honored reputations for building make your comments all the meaningful. Many thanks! We have to incorporate the fun part and relate history in it to make it looks even more enjoyable for the readers, I hope. Ha, I can relate to that viewer demand but even still I'm not quite sure about the usage of the term "emperor" for Edo period context. Minor technicalities set aside, I really enjoyed reading your writeup. 007: This is another fantastic creation from you. I honestly have not seen any creation by you that is not excellent. Yes, you have. You've forgotten that you commented (twice) on the first MOC I posted online about three years ago. Seriously though, that's just about one of the best compliments I've ever received. Your Daimyo Tea House is also featured on Classic-Town.net (a little further down), which makes a great part of this creation. I hope you don't mind that we took the liberty of photo-editing your work for our Asian Adventure. Yes, I saw that too, thanks again. Naturally the image manipulation is not even close to being an issue, simply being featured is no less than an honor. Quote
Teddy Posted January 25, 2009 Posted January 25, 2009 Ah, no I hadn't realized. That's quite blatantly the source of the new replies then, awesome! Fun backstory too, even if I'd have to question the historical aspect of it. Thank you very much for that honor, and thanks to you two; Klaus and Asuka for the further feedback!Also, I'm not sure if Sandy's still interested here, but I did take a shot or two from angles similar to what she suggested. http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=361984 Probably should have posted them here sooner. those angles from below make it look extremely good. Overall a superb cration. The roof is just ingenious. Kind regards, Teddy Quote
