Dex J Posted May 12, 2012 Posted May 12, 2012 Soo, my first Post. I've built a steampunk island. On it is a Lighthouse. Hope that you enjoy my second steampunk Moc. - Sorry for my bad English :[ Ich nutze Englisch selten außerhalb der Schule.^^ Quote
Rotaser Posted May 13, 2012 Posted May 13, 2012 Don't worry about your skills in English, all you need is practice. I for myself try to read, listen to (movies in original sound is often much better than the translated ones) and speak English in every possible way (aks my brother and my wife). At first it is quite difficult, but as time goes one you will become better. But I think further discussion about this should be done via PM rather than in this topic ^.^ The MOC is really nice, though I have no direct connection to the Steam Punk theme. I mean it could be a normal wooden light house (on a "normal" floating island of course). Why not adding some steam engines? Maybe some propellers or stuff that provide to hold the light tower in position? Additionally you could make a pathway from an edge (or better: a small landing stage) to the front door. And the "light" (flames) could be a bit larger. What about a flag on top of the flag pole? But anyway I really like the shape of the island and the look of the lighthouse. Quote
Si-MOCs Posted May 19, 2012 Posted May 19, 2012 Welcome to Eurobricks! Great first post! I hope to see many more! I really like the rock and the grass. It's really nicely done. The lighthouse is pretty cool too! This actually is a good idea... if you're flying around with floating rocks, you'd need lots of light houses to make sure you don't hit the rocks! Quote
Hammerstein NWC Posted June 10, 2012 Posted June 10, 2012 I love steampunk and I love this - the island itself is great. The lighthouse is a really good idea and the execution is really great too IMO. Maybe add a light house keeper? :) Quote
soccerkid6 Posted June 11, 2012 Posted June 11, 2012 Neat build! I especially like the way you build the rocks upside down Hope to see more from you soon Quote
Plastic Brick Posted June 12, 2012 Posted June 12, 2012 Sorry but... It doesn't look like a lighthouse... could be in the future! Quote
RaincloudDustbin Posted July 2, 2012 Posted July 2, 2012 (edited) This is awesome - it's like the Gorillaz Feel Good Inc. Edited July 2, 2012 by TeardropTrashcan Quote
kboleen Posted July 7, 2012 Posted July 7, 2012 Excellent MOC. I too love the Steampunk genre. I like the use of the finishing plates on the sides. Quote
TenorPenny Posted July 8, 2012 Posted July 8, 2012 The layering of the green, and the foilage against the traditional brown tones of Steampunk, really works! Quote
Bricktooth Posted July 8, 2012 Posted July 8, 2012 A creative idea with a great execution! The lighthouse is very steampunk-y! Maybe you should add a little house to it, where the lighthouse-keeper could live. BTW how do you display this? Did you edit out the supports, because right now it looks a bit unstable. Quote
skayen Posted July 12, 2012 Posted July 12, 2012 (edited) Guten Tag! I really like your MOC; it's quirky and charming. Two questions for you, though: firstly, how do you support the model so it doesn't topple over? It looks like it's balancing on a 1x1 block...!! And, secondly, if this is your /second/ steampunk MOC, then where is your first? :-) Edit: perhaps you could take a photograph of your lighthouse from a slightly different angle. I think you have some fire in the middle of the structure which is being hidden by one of the beams. If you angled the camera around slightly so you could see the fire, I think it'd really frame your creation in the best possible light (so to speak=)! cheers, John Edited July 12, 2012 by skayen Quote
Pythor Posted July 12, 2012 Posted July 12, 2012 (edited) I see no problem with your english :D A lovely moc with very nice landscaping Congratulations, Tchuss! Edited July 12, 2012 by Pythor Quote
Legonardo Posted July 12, 2012 Posted July 12, 2012 Welcome to Eurobricks! nice MOC you have, I really need to try steampunk one day! hope to see more from you! ~Legonardo~ Quote
Dex J Posted August 26, 2012 Author Posted August 26, 2012 Hey*, Nice to see, that you like my Steampunk Moc.^^ I display the Moc with transparency basic bricks. To show it, how it looks like now, was much to work with gimp. My first Steampunk Moc was a flying airship. If you want to see a picture of it, klick on the follow Link: http://www.flickr.com/photos/57375453@N05/6956345801/in/photostream Sorry for my bad english. Greetz, Dex Quote
TheLegoNinja Posted August 28, 2012 Posted August 28, 2012 Nice Moc. The tower has a cool mechanized look to it. How did you suspend it for the photo? Quote
