soccerkid6 Posted October 13, 2016 Sir Glorfindel goes for a peaceful walk in the snow with his loyal husky. Snowy landscapes are one of my favorite things to build, and they are something you don’t see all that often in the LEGO community. I made this MOC to serve as a tutorial for snow-scapes. Hopefully it's helpful, and comments/suggestions for the build are welcome Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Henjin_Quilones Posted October 13, 2016 Looks great, but sure makes me wish that I had some of those tooth/hanging snow parts (and more of those 2x6 curved and tapered bricks)! I especially like how the snow drift is hanging over the rocky face, as though it were wind sculpted. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Exetrius Posted October 13, 2016 Lovely build, SK! This is another piece of evidence that you are a real snowscape specialist, and as such, you are a worthy teacher! As Henjin mentioned, the snow hanging over the edge of the rocks is a great feature! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
en_zoo Posted October 13, 2016 here, here! Snowman fully in action! lovely build as well as tutorial! I don't think I have a single white slope (might have a couple actually, but still..), but now I need what to do as soon as Laesonar gets North ^^ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The overhanging snow design is something I've only started doing fairly recently. 2 hours ago, Exetrius said: Lovely build, SK!

TitusV Posted October 14, 2016 Fortunately, snowy landscapes are your favoured to build and my favoured to look at! Keep up the great tutorials! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Niku Posted October 15, 2016 Looks very natural, and the posing it makes it feel vividly in motion. Thanks for the tutorial on snow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BrickCurve Posted October 16, 2016 Great use of colour for the tree, I will have to try that at some point. Excellent snow as usual! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Legofin2012 Posted October 17, 2016 A very natural and realistic looking build, the violet colour of the tree breaks up the white and grey nicely! And I always enjoy reading the tutorials! A great little build and helpful tutorial Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LittleJohn Posted October 19, 2016 Another excellent snow-scape, Isaac Great rockwork too, and the lavender tree, and gold flowers at the corners of the border add a nice touch of color. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Slegengr Posted October 21, 2016 This is a nice snow build as usual, SK! The drifts are very realistic in appearance and very fitting for Mitgardia! I like the inclusion of the minifigure and dog to give the scene a sense of scale and some well-placed activity. I also enjoy snowy landscapes, though I have not tried my hand at building with snow much... It is nice to see that Sir Glorfindel has apparel other than just his iconic armor!
