Puvel Posted October 20, 2016 (edited) Spring was in the air, the merchants had an easier time getting to remote villages as the sun evaporated the snow. Today the market was livelier than it had been in months. Build the market a couple of weeks ago, but hadn't gotten round to adding minifigs and taking pics, but here you go. Hope you like them.

The Maestro Posted October 21, 2016 Nice build Puvel, it gives off a great atmosphere. Those stalls are excellent. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TitusV Posted October 21, 2016 Very cosy and appealing atmosphere, with (as TheMaestro said) awesome stalls! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Henjin_Quilones Posted October 21, 2016 This build is very nice! I like the fact that you made the base very subtly irregular with those green angled plates for a softer feel, and the varied sizes and textures of your stones in the pathway make it look very attractive. The minifigure posing is what really sells this one, though; good work with that. I appreciate the effort to make the vegetation look as natural as possible with the many shades of green, but I think that is the weakest part of the build by far (since the rest of it looks great). Perhaps some sort of elevation change or rock outcropping might make it better, and fewer of those grass stalks/flower stems (or at least denser clumps of them with some space taken up by rocks). More/larger trees might help, too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Slegengr Posted October 21, 2016 This is a nice market scene, Puvel! The stalls with color and ware variations are very appealing, especially with the minifig posing. The activity definitely makes this build very believable for a market scene! The landscape has a nice simple look to it, though I agree with Henjin that some changes would improve it (such as more irregular elevation change, more clumped or denser foliage, larger trees, more rocks, etc.). It looks good, but I think it could look better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
soccerkid6 Posted October 22, 2016 Glad to have you back in the guilds, Puvel! Great color choices for the market stalls, and the 2 trees in the back help finish off the scene well I like your approach to the shield rack, and weapon display too Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mpyromaxos Posted October 22, 2016 Beautiful market! loved the atmosphere! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
en_zoo Posted October 22, 2016 really nice little scene! I love the stalls! I second Henjin about the grass, yet I can't wait for phase 3! ^^ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LittleJohn Posted October 25, 2016 Excellent market scene, Puvel! The color choices for the stalls are great, I especially like the medium azure/white combo The cobblestone, fig posing, and slightly irregular base are all superb too Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BrickCurve Posted October 25, 2016 (edited) Nice one, it looks really good! The only thing that I would add would be some more leaves on the trees, they look a bit thin and sparse at the moment. Edited October 25, 2016 by BrickCurve Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My rocky bricks were tied up in another build, I'll make sure to add some in one of the next builds. I only added 2 small trees to keep the focus on the stalls, could have added some small ones to fill out the background more, true.

It's only start of spring so the trees aren't fully grown yet :P But yeah, could have added a bit to them Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
