Ecclesiastes Posted December 30, 2014 (Legoworld Copenhagen countdown: 7 weeks left! Amortug will be on display for the last time at Kopenhagen. So I’ll count down the days by showing detailed photos of two modules every week.) Do you like fish that’s just been caught or freshly baked bread? Or even fruits from outside our borders. Than the Amortug market is the place to be! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Braunsfeld Posted December 30, 2014 An impressive city wall and a nice new approach to market stands. This is a lovely, lively scene! I am, however, a bit surprised to see that you are using tall dwarves as city guards -what is the reason behind this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ecclesiastes Posted December 30, 2014 Thanks! I am, however, a bit surprised to see that you are using tall dwarves as city guards -what is the reason behind this? I completely understand your confusion, like you others have mentioned it as well. But I can't stand the short legs TLC has made. It limits minifig placing and you're unable to make kids. We need a new mold for legs slightly taller than those short ones and they should be able to move. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kai NRG Posted December 30, 2014 That house with a four sided pyramid roof is really neat! A roof technique I will have to try out some day! Also like the way you did the stall coverings. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kabel Posted December 30, 2014 one of the modules I haven't seen yet, and yes, awesome as always! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Black Orchid Posted December 30, 2014 Great looking, the market seems a great place to visit, very lively ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Garmadon Posted December 30, 2014 Awesome marketplace Ecc, great use of the barrels on the house corners and excellent cheese roofs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jakorin Swiftsword Posted December 30, 2014 I love market scenes and this one is one of my favs. Great work! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mccoyed Posted December 30, 2014 That roof technique is indeed neat. I really like the height of the catwalk and wall, though. It really gives the impression of a massive, well-engineered structure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheUtilityBelt Posted December 30, 2014 Whoa! I love the market stalls and I'm still digging your tall dwarves! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
soccerkid6 Posted December 31, 2014 Love the little house designs Great color choices and the cheese slope roofs work nicely. Very clever market stands too, another design I'll be sure to remember for future builds Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mrcp6d Posted December 31, 2014 I think what makes this a nice build are the color choices for the little buildings. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
de Gothia Posted January 2, 2015 I just love that bridge over the houses! So imposing! The colours and the houses are also excellent! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Loves Houses Posted January 3, 2015 Fantastic MOC. Medieval township underneath the great arches of the defensive wall. Well done - brick on! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ecclesiastes Posted January 8, 2015 Thanks guys! one of the modules I haven't seen yet, and yes, awesome as always! The problem with building the way I do with cities is, you can't really see the inside. It's a bit of a shame. But that's why I'm showing the modules Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Slegengr Posted January 8, 2015 Wonderful, Ecc.! The different colors and styles of the buildings and market stalls makes an excellent presentation! I still would love to be able to see this in person, but I can see where you are coming from in that the interior is not easily visible when it is all together. Keep doing these detail shots of the modules so we can see all the neat details! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mpoh98 Posted January 8, 2015 lovely work on this! Those roofs are killers, and the marketplace is fantastic! I really like the small market stalls, those are particularly well designed. The high walls and tower accents this build nicely :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gunman Posted January 8, 2015 I love the market stalls with so many different colors there. The different style houses are great too! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Venkefedo Posted January 9, 2015 I completely understand your confusion, like you others have mentioned it as well. But I can't stand the short legs TLC has made. It limits minifig placing and you're unable to make kids. We need a new mold for legs slightly taller than those short ones and they should be able to move. I think I've mentioned before that BrickFortress has short legs that move... I bought several a couple years ago and am itching to place another order now that they have dark green & dark brown. They're slightly taller than Lego's short legs, so that might be enough for you (tho it's very slight) Another option--not ideal since it involves work every time to move the character--is just using 2 1x2 plates. I did that for my Wicket the Ewok minifig, since he should be shorter than all the other Ewoks (except perhaps Paploo, tho I don't have Paploo yet). It works great for lining up on a shelf, but placing securely in a build is where the work would come in, having to remove the plate that'll inevitably stick to the base rather than the figure. Tall or short, your dwarves look great! Love the Gimli helms with Fantasy dwarf beards. Beautiful build overall! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Glynn_Sean Posted January 10, 2015 Love the pillars, only gripe would be that it could have been made better with some more brickwork. Otherwise this is a great dwarven moc! :thumbup: :thumbup: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brick Man Studios Posted January 11, 2015 Really nice build ! I really love it ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jorrith Posted January 11, 2015 Seeing part by part, i cannot imagine how big this will be in total... Excellent work though, every part has the livelyness of any town, and lots of details! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lord Vladivus Posted January 12, 2015 Very nice Ecc, I can't wait to see the finished thing! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
