First Historic MOC -

[ruxtpin]

You'll have to forgive me, since I'm new here and this is my first MOC. A couple of years ago I came out my own dark ages and jumped back in to the Lego scene. I got a lot (okay - a ton) of inspiration for this piece from Derfel Cadarn's and Mark of Falworth's work. I wanted to focus on three aspects -

1. Build my own brick built rock formations

2. Use the loose brick technique for the water

3. Follow the round tower technique in Cadarn's guide

The only thing left for me to do is find some pieces to tidy up the corners of the base. Once that's done I think I'll leave it be for a while. Hope you enjoy the images and any feedback is appreciated!

And the back of the tower even has a little poo shoot...

Awesome tower, ruxtpin. I really like it. The skeleton is nice touch The bridge and rockwork is nice too. Great work!

[NiL_FisK_Urd]

Wow, this looks really good for your first MOC.

[Lord Vladivus]

This is amazing. I'd have never guessed it was your first MOC! Great details!

[The Architect]

I'll second what Lord Vladivus said. Much better than anything I can do .

[Alfadas]

I especially like the bridge, but everything is great.

[Gunman]

i like the bridge too, and the tower.. wow for 1st moc well done. *nice dreamcast there :P

[ruxtpin]

Thanks for the responses everyone :) Can't quit the Dreamcast either, such a great system.

Nice work! Great first MOC, one of the best I've seen! Love the bridge and the tower is almost perfect! Have you considered joining the Guilds of Historica? You'd definitely be welcome in the subforum.

Awesome work with the MOC! I hope when you get the last 1% of it done, you can get some some pics up with a clean background--you ought to give this the nice presentation it deserves!

The dead bushes and old discarded wheel make it just right. It gives it a real ominous feel. Like the above said though, it needs a background for the last bit of flavor. Great work!

I'll definitely take a look into it. It took me forever to finish this one. I've lurked the GOH sub-forum before, but didn't think I'd have much to offer as I'm pretty slow when it comes to producing my own work.

Thanks - Will do, once I get those final pieces set :)

Edit: I just now realized I didn't even finish giving my thread a proper title. Apologies to all.

Is that a Sega Dreamcast I see???

[ruxtpin]

One of two Dreamcasts! I've got MvC2 somewhere around. I've run out of inputs on my TV tho.

[TheLazyChicken]

Wow, that is really good for your first MOC! It looks amazing!

[Kez]

Amazing work, I cant believe this is your first historic MOC, maybe Id advise you to build more , btw Im loving all of the nice details, that round tower is fantastic, so is the scenery, my favourite part has gotta be the poop shoot , great job though, I hope to see more of your MOCs in the future should you do any
