Kai NRG Posted February 5, 2016 Decided to try my hand at one of these for my next residence! I see Bardo as something of a frontier settlement (rough and ready sounding name!), so that's where this is. Keep the pigs out! Also tried out Garmadon's base technique. Quite a parts monster! This was a pretty fun build! Comments are appreciated, and thanks for checking it out! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Dee Posted February 5, 2016 Lovely cabin, but it might be a tight squeeze for a family of four! The log and chink technique is pretty good. Perhaps a smaller gap would look better but it would also be rather tricky to accomplish. The roof looks great too. You really need some minifigs to bring some life to these small builds, and this family plus accessories does just that. (hint hint folks...) Good work.

Elostirion Posted February 5, 2016 This was a pretty fun build! This is also a pretty nice build. And the minifig and minipig posing is really well done. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blackdeathgr Posted February 5, 2016 Yay! A nice log house! And the family choice is really original!! Great work! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Garmadon Posted February 5, 2016 Excellent little house Kai, the wall technique is great, and the activity of family life going on fills out the scene quite well! And yes, that border technique does use quite a lot of parts! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike S Posted February 5, 2016 Nice cabin! I've been contemplating doing one but I have not been thrilled with my own attempts so far. I never would have thought about placing square bricks between the round ones but it turned out nicely.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Capt Wolf Posted February 5, 2016 I love the wall technique! Nice build! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dr_spock Posted February 5, 2016 Very nice cabin. I really like the smooth look of the roof, shows it is well maintained. Captain Dee, I see a family of three. Plenty of space. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Captain Dee Posted February 5, 2016 ...Captain Dee, I see a family of three. Plenty of space. Let's see now... one man + one woman + 2 boys = ? By jove, you're right, Doc! That does add up to 3! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dr_spock Posted February 5, 2016 Let's see now... one man + one woman + 2 boys = ? By jove, you're right, Doc! That does add up to 3! Shiver me timbers, I'd be off to be hanging by my toes for the accounting error. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kai NRG Posted February 5, 2016 Thanks guys for all the comments! Lovely cabin, but it might be a tight squeeze for a family of four! The log and chink technique is pretty good. Perhaps a smaller gap would look better but it would also be rather tricky to accomplish. The roof looks great too. You really need some minifigs to bring some life to these small builds, and this family plus accessories does just that. (hint hint folks...) Good work. Thanks! I was looking over some shots of log cabins and they really had pretty sizable chunks of white between logs! It would have been nice to do it horizontally with 2 plates but that was just totally impractical with the SNOT logs. Yay! A nice log house! And the family choice is really original!! Great work! Was that sarcasm? Nice cabin! I've been contemplating doing one but I have not been thrilled with my own attempts so far. I never would have thought about placing square bricks between the round ones but it turned out nicely.... Thanks Mike! Very nice cabin.

By jove, you're right, Doc! That does add up to 3! Aren't you forgetting someone? Shiver me timbers, I'd be off to be hanging by my toes for the accounting error. Actually it's Captain Dee that should be hung. There's another minifigure just inside the cabin. She is visible! (I had a clear on shot but figured it was too repetitive.) It's actually supposed to be the three children out front, the dad heading off to hunt, and the mom inside chopping carrots. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

About the cabin: I think the logs were positioned really close and the chink followed the curve of the wood to cover a wider area. But that would be hard to do with Lego. This looks pretty good. I couldn't tell what was behind the carrot in the window with this tiny screen but I had to wonder. Edited February 5, 2016 by Captain Dee Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But that would be hard to do with Lego. This looks pretty good. I couldn't tell what was behind the carrot in the window with this tiny screen but I had to wonder. That sounds right about the real cabins. That definitely would be tricky unless you really upscaled! A nice log house ! I like this wall design ! Good job ! Thanks Faladrin!
