Petturik Posted February 2, 2013 Posted February 2, 2013 Here's a MOC I made for the Lands of Classic Castle project : Overview 1 by Petturik NL, on Flickr Overview 2 by Petturik NL, on Flickr Cutout by Petturik NL, on Flickr and a link to the whole set : My entry to the Global Challenge III phase 1 : When Tybalt heared of the impending attack on the magic isles, he knew HE could make a difference. Having aquired both stature and fame in Lenfald by helping the peasants after the recent swamp campaigns, he thought he'd cash in some favors. He travelled around the whole of Lenfald, in search of people willing to fight. Willing to take arms up against the Outlaws that pillaged a many village and a many farm. Accompanied by a detachment of Lenfel soldiers and a treasurekeeper/taxcollecter, he arrived at the farm of John Crarot. John was a nimble farmer who mostly stuck to himself. Nonetheless he was pleased to see Tybalt arrive, because where Tybalt came to recruit, High Lord Triphian I of Lenfald made sure sufficient gold was payed for upcoming services. While John's wife Tyshia was attending the crops in the field, his kids welcomed the troops and especially the horses. Such finebred horses didn't come here that often. Tybalt, Sergeant-in-arms Miar and the treasurekeeper walked on towards the house. Miar never liked dogs and nervously followed Tybalt. After a quick chat, Tybalt and John aggreed on a fee and rounded off their bussines. John was to be enlisted as soon as possible. Now it was time to prepare. Not just his kit, but also his family because as it stood now, he might not even return...... Quote
jimmynick Posted February 2, 2013 Posted February 2, 2013 Great job on this, Petturik! It's gorgeous, and I love the water and lush scenery. Your detail photographs are well done and very good look at. Quote
soccerkid6 Posted February 2, 2013 Posted February 2, 2013 A lovely scene! Only one thing I don't like about it and that's the house, it seems rather undetailed compared to the rest of the build and the roof needs some gables to cover up the step effect of the slopes. There's a how to here: http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=60907 Your landscaping is superb Good luck in the challenge Quote
Brickington Posted February 2, 2013 Posted February 2, 2013 Lovely! I love all of the detail. You should look into the Guilds of Historica. Quote
LukeClarenceVan Posted February 2, 2013 Posted February 2, 2013 (edited) Wow, very realistic landscaping, most impressive. Edited February 2, 2013 by LukeClarenceVan Quote

I'll work on it as will I on my "building" of buildings. Landscapes are fun, but I need to complete the feeling by creating decent buildings aswell. Quote
Esurient Posted February 3, 2013 Posted February 3, 2013 Loved the amount of effort and detail you have put into this MOC. Great work Quote

Petturik Posted February 6, 2013 Author Posted February 6, 2013 Loved the amount of effort and detail you have put into this MOC. Great work Thanks ! It looks awesome. Your phootos are amazing also. Do you have a tutotial or would you mind providing tips on how you achevied such nice quality photos? Thanks. ((I understand if I am askng too much about what is proabbly quite a basic skill to most people). Thanks. I mainly follow Sariel's phototutorial. As a background I used a white fleecelike blanket and I have two 50W spotlights for lighting the object. I never point them directly at the object but let them shine on either the wall or ceiling, so you get a nice soft flow of light on the object instead of hard shadows. As Sariel states in his tutorial, don't use the internal flash on a camera, it'll light up a certain spot on your photo instead of having an even glow all over. I set the delayed action shutter to 2 seconds (could use 12s aswell but I am impatient ) and put the shuttertime on high, meaning it keeps the shutter open for a longer amount of time. You could get a heavily overlighted picture, but then you have to adjust the shuttertime until you get a nice picture, which is still somewhat overlighted. Then run it through Gimp as stated in the tutorial ... et voilá. Beautiful scenery. I love the design of the doors. There actually is just 1 door, but I'm glad you liked it Extra points for the landscaping- the water/earth/vegetation looks especially good! /cheer I love extra points ! Quote
