Kumpelkante Posted November 22, 2013 Posted November 22, 2013 Greetings, Here it is, another CCCXI entry. This time i picked a location from the novel "A Game of Thrones": The Flea Bottom. A Wiki of Ice and Fire describes it as follows: "Flea Bottom is what the slum area of King's Landing is called. A down-trodden area of town. It has pot-shops along the alleys where one can get a 'bowl o' brown.' It has a stench of pigsties and stables, tanner's sheds mixed in with the smell of winesinks and whorehouses.It is a maze of twisty, unpaved alleys and cross-streets below the Street of Flour on the way down the west side of Rhaenys's Hill. The buildings lean over the narrow alleys, almost touching." In contrast to the tv-series, the novel "A Game of Thrones" dedicates an entire Chapte to Arya Stark surviving in the Flea Bottom by cathing pidgeons and exchanging them for bowl o' brown. fleabottom1hr von tobiasgeserick auf Flickr fleabottom2 von tobiasgeserick auf Flickr Fleabottom3 von tobiasgeserick auf Flickr Quote
Eru Magnus Valar Posted November 22, 2013 Posted November 22, 2013 Love your medieval town! Even though a guy is getting robbed, and a band of ill-willed, cruel, violent soldiers patrolling the neighbourhood, striking terror in the hearts of the Fleabottom dwellers, under the guise upholding the peace, and enforcing the laws of a (tyrant) king, the scenery you created still holds a kind of almost cosy atmosphere. It is certainly picturesque! I suppose it is very hard, if not almost impossible to capture in Lego, the wretched, ghastly, foul, pestilent squalor of a place such as Fleabottom. Unless maybe you actually smudge up your bricks with some real mud, or wait for the day TLC starts manufacturing ABS turds etcetera. Any way, well done! Quote
kabel Posted November 22, 2013 Posted November 22, 2013 (edited) loving it! really great Fachwerk houses and assembling them randomly, like would happen in an old town, just looks extremly well done. Good stuff! Edited November 22, 2013 by kabel Quote
Infernum Posted November 22, 2013 Posted November 22, 2013 Really nice! Love the angles and roof! Quote
cyng99 Posted November 22, 2013 Posted November 22, 2013 Lovely build! Nice to see another fan of ASOIAF. Quote
WaysofSorting Posted November 22, 2013 Posted November 22, 2013 The roof is great. Are those large black tiles you used actually dusty and dirty? I'm not complaining - I think it looks great (And besides, a large portion of my plates would look like that). I just can't tell if it's actual dust or the camera angle... Anyway, great detail and "translation" of the prose to the brick. Quote
mrcp6d Posted November 23, 2013 Posted November 23, 2013 Definitely a category contender! I really like how you brought both angles and elevation to the party in this MOC. Quote
The_Cook Posted November 25, 2013 Posted November 25, 2013 Really nice to see a town MOC that isn't completely flat! That first photo of the road climbing up between the two black rooved houses with their jetties is particularly good. Quote
DustyBricks Posted November 27, 2013 Posted November 27, 2013 The roofs, and overall busy feeling of the moc make it so realistic! The landscaping is really nice too! Quote
Legocity2713 Posted May 24, 2015 Posted May 24, 2015 Hey, great work. Love the details and the roof especially. :thumbup: Quote
Full Plate Posted May 25, 2015 Posted May 25, 2015 This looks really great! Too many awesome details to mention them all, but I really like how you managed to get the "cramped alley" feel to it, especially in the first photo. Great job! Quote
Jreacher Posted May 26, 2015 Posted May 26, 2015 looks really good! like all the minifigs living out their lives. Quote
