Etzel Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 (edited) The Gnome lives a quiet and peaceful life in the forest where he has carved out his home in an old tree stump. He passes the days with fishing in the nearby pond. He is very shy which might explain why he has been seen by so few tall-people. Yes, he has a small gold treasure too, just like every small humanoid forest creature has. Flickr link This build might look easier then it was but the stump almost got me... eh stumped... It was very fragile during the build but in the end it turned out quite steady. The Gnome is a really nice minifig I think. I like the hat very much and I hope we someday get it in white (for Smurfs! ). Some dislike the Gnome for being to similar to the Fisherman from S3 but the only similar things are the beard and the fishing pole (which is in anther colour) and since both those pieces are very nice IMHO I still like the Gnome very much. Now I'll need to figure out which S4 minifig to do next... Edited May 29, 2011 by Rufus Indexed Quote
The Yellow Brick Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 I really do like this Etzel, A nice peaceful area for the Gnome to live The house in the tree is quite a good idea. I love the interior. Looking forward to you next series 4 MOC Quote
Ro87n Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 Nice! I love it, the whole setting and inside the tree stump is just so lovely. Quote
Decale Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 (edited) I love your landscape Etzel! The three color water gives an idea of the depth of the pond The interior of the hutt is very cute How his the chimney held at this angle? Edited April 19, 2011 by Decale Quote
Stardusty Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 Your MOC makes me want to live alone in forest. It's beautiful, bravo! Quote
Etzel Posted April 19, 2011 Author Posted April 19, 2011 I love your landscape Etzel! The three color water gives an idea of the depth of the pond The interior of the hutt is very cute How his the chimney hold at this angle? By a lever. Not very stable but it works for a photo Quote
Decale Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 By a lever. Not very stable but it works for a photo Oh thanks, I finally figured it out when I took a look at your 3 big flowers which are (I suppose) on a little 3branch grass part. That's a clever way to put some variety in the greenery! Quote
dr_spock Posted April 20, 2011 Posted April 20, 2011 This is very nice and peaceful. Thanks for sharing. Quote
Big Cam Posted April 20, 2011 Posted April 20, 2011 This is fantastic, the scenery way out does the new gnome figure. I love his hut and the landscape. I'm such a fan of tiles, I love it. Quote
XimenaPaulina Posted April 20, 2011 Posted April 20, 2011 You sure are on a 'MOCing roll' Etzel, yet another creative build for a CMS4 minifig. The whole vig does exude a peaceful and serene environment for our little Gnome friend's humble abode, especially with the surrounding verdant greeneries and running water. The tree house is very well done and really looks comfy and cozy inside. Great overall work once again! Quote
Trent Posted April 20, 2011 Posted April 20, 2011 This is a lovely little scene, and I really like the interior of the tree. Quote
The Spark That Bled Posted April 20, 2011 Posted April 20, 2011 Adorable. And I agree with Trent that the interior of the stump is especially neat. The water is nice too. Quote
lightningtiger Posted April 20, 2011 Posted April 20, 2011 AWESOME 'Etzel' ! Great greenery and even better gnome house with his loot under the floor boards ! Just some fantastic designing there and K.O.B. 'Etzel' ! Quote
