[MOC] The Buried Barrel Tavern

[vitreolum]

Had a hard time making the rockwork on this one as I didn't have a single cheese at disposal.

[pathas]

i really like it... well done

[-Horizon-]

Nice Job, I really like everything about it. You did a great job here Vit.

[Yzalirk]

Awesome MOC, vitreolum! I love the door design!

[TenorPenny]

Great work with no cheese slopes..! The hinge-work on the door is particularly well done.

[Balthazar]

Nicely done!

I like how you did the doors, fireplace and closet!

[Venkefedo]

That spilled drink! Great build all around. Reminds me a bit of many Dwarven taverns in WoW, which is something I wanna try building someday. Good stuff!

[EvilEnderman]

Looks really good - love the rockwork and foliage, great attention to detail!

No cheese slopes reminds me of a monty python sketch

Great work!

[vitreolum]

Thanks!

@EvilEnderman Yeah, that was a great sketch and a real "Cheeseclopedia"

@Venkefedo Indeed, I even wanted to use some drunken dwarfs at first, but the short legs and bulky beards wouldn't allow me to pose them as I wanted.

Great stuff.

Especially, I like the door - and the other details!

[mccoyed]

Awesome tavern. Rockwork turned out good, nice use of space, and those stairs are so clean and awesome that I'm going to have to replicate the technique myself!

I'm going to be doing a somewhat smaller tavern scene pretty soon for LoR. I hope you don't mind if I draw a little inspiration from here.

[grum64]

Very, very nice. Good work

[Spud The Viking]

Gorgeous!

Nice use of those Indiana Jones whips by the way!

Congrats on Frontpage vitreolum!

[ManInATopHat]

Fantastic build! Really cool concept. Nice rockwork as well. This could definitely be improved by a cool sign on the door, but I can see you're a purist so a custom sign wouldn't really suit your work.

Really good. Love the doors!

[Gary The Procrastinator]

Wonderful, clean build with a lot of detail. The rocks are fine, the composition is top-notch.

[Kai NRG]

Excellent job, really like the 'underground' idea! It's interesting though that the doors almost look like door exteriors... which is not something I'm critiquing, because it does add to the build aesthetically, but almost makes it look like instead of going outside your going inside upon exiting.

And for not having cheese at your disposal, the rockwork turned out really well!

[Asphalt]

very believable. wonderful build.

[songwm]

Good. I think the rock work is still nice.

[Legogal]

Wow! The place looks so inviting!

Did the fellow on the left collapse because he was drunk or due to food poisoning? I would definitely want to know before spending much time there!

The oven is a masterpiece. And the furniture is also perfect. Congrats on a fine build!

[Phoxtane]

I like how the guy in the middle has dislocated both of his shoulders for the sake of hand gestures to illustrate his well-articulated (but drunken) point!

[Venkefedo]

@Venkefedo Indeed, I even wanted to use some drunken dwarfs at first, but the short legs and bulky beards wouldn't allow me to pose them as I wanted.

It's getting easier every year to spruce up the Dwarven ranks with figures friendlier to posing: more printed-beard heads in yellow and flesh, shorter, less obtrusive beards like Dwalin's, Santa/Fisherman, and Wiley Fusebot's (plus the upcoming CMF12 Prospector), BrickFortress articulated short legs... I adore the Fantasy dwarves, but was late getting on board because of how limiting the beards & legs were. It's getting better, tho!

Anyhow, glad you had similar initial thoughts! It's a really fun build, dwarves or not

[vitreolum]

Thanks a lot everyone, glad you like it!

@mccoyed Go right ahead. :)

Beautiful MOC!
