Assassin's Creed

[KotZ]

I've been playing the first Assassin's Creed and I was inspired to make a little MOC around the city of Acre.

Archer on rooftop, a heavy soldier, and a guard on the tower. You can notice the ledges I put in for Altair to scale.

A thief to pickpocket for throwing knives.

A better shot of the tower.

The tower and ledge for Altair to jump off of into the hay.

Altair's POV

Enjoy, and comments and criticism are welcome!

Cool! I love Assassins Creed - lots of great ideas for dioramas..

Cool. I've played all the main AC games. I just finished up the 3rd one a little while back.

I like planks coming off the tower. That really feels like the game. And you've done a good job with the minifigs and their accessories.

I think an improvement for this MOC would be to tile the ground a bit, if you can. You can use browns and dark bleys mainly. And for the haystack, you could maybe just make it out of 1-wide yellow plates and kind of throw them together randomly. That might look more like a haystack. If that doesn't work, maybe incorporate yellow slopes to give it more of a mound shape.

Very creative and a good idea for a vintage

I'm a huge fan of that series.

It's a great concept but I feel like the tower is not big enough, our rather tall enough. The concept is great, also the hay really looks like yellow blocks, I think scattering smaller yellow pieces would give you a better effect.

Please take these just as my critiques, it's still a good MOC.

I love AC. Good build. Interesting concept. The game has a lot of features to build on.

Thanks everybody!

Zeya, I would have tiled the ground, but I have very little pieces that would look good for the tiling. I have hundreds of 1x1 studs and plates, but very few black, gray, brown, etc. I also have very few yellow cheese slopes (or cheese slopes in general for that matter )

Big Cam, same as above for the haystack. The tower, I was starting to run out of 1x2s and 1x3s for the tower. all that I had left were <insert that tiresome argument> pieces, and I was a little fearful of what people might say about that. For me, it was easier to go with a smaller tower instead of an insanely tall tower with <insert that tiresome argument> pieces and not as many outcroppings to grab on to. And don't worry, I take the comments as critiques. Even though people could say "Oh that's perfect!" does it really help? I'd rather have "You need to fix blank" so I know what to improve on.

Thanks again, all!

Good deal. Knowing that, you did great for the limited selection of bricks. It definitely has the AC feel to it.

[KotZ]

Thanks, Big Cam. I may go back and try to see if I can make it taller and fix the haystack, though.
