TomSkippy Posted January 29, 2019 An important part of Myzec life is the market. In the crowded market there are many colors, smells and sounds. It is here that they can supplement their own crops with different fruits or exchange their goods for pottery or colorful fabrics. Foreigners privileged enough to visit the market can find many exotic and valuable goods. C&C welcome!I thoroughly enjoyed putting this together. Initially I built this in Stud.io, but then decided to go with what I had on hand. I appreciated being able to use any grey... the different greys contrast well. I finished the structure early January, but then I ended up down a rabbit trail - I wanted/needed more Natives to populate the market, so I kept ordering more. Then, I needed to make at least ONE jaguar warrior (this will be the subject of a future build as well). Finally, I felt that a market that comprised ONLY food was a little boring for my tastes, so I had to figure out a few other options. Overall a fun build (a little expensive). I will definitely explore the Myzecs more in the future... possibly becoming a 'friend'! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LM71Blackbird Posted January 29, 2019 Great looking little build! Honestly, I gotta say my favorite part is the face on that baby! Lol! Keep it up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ross Fisher Posted January 29, 2019 I love this build. Very appropriate for Myztexlan, but I love how busy it is as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ayrlego Posted January 29, 2019 Brilliant build Tom and well worth the wait. The stonework looks great with the mix of greys and olive and that is an impressive collection of natives making the scene look busy as a market should be. Are those stickers custom? Also I have never seen that female torso before, is it custom as well? All up great job and an excellent addition to Myzectlan. Does the offer to license it for the settlement still stand? Oh and for GoC if you want to be our first foreign entry! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bregir Posted January 29, 2019 Beautiful little build, mr. Skippy! It is a very beautiful little market, and a very lively scene. I agree with Ayrlego that the olive and greys go very well together, and I too am interested in those torsos. And where is all that pottery from/what parts are you using? I have only two comments: The porticoes behind the market looks rather empty. Some boxes, people, or something in there, perhaps? How do people get in and/or out? :P Right now, it seems to me the area is entirely fenced in? (Between the walls and the fencing) :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kai NRG Posted January 29, 2019 Where'd those clay colored bowls come from? They're awesome. Nice repeating pattern around the top, especially the offsets look good! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Professor Thaum Posted January 29, 2019 Seconded ! This crockery is terrific ! This angular design fits well for Myzectlan purpose. So does the mix of old and new LBG parts. Well done those tight windows ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fraunces Posted January 29, 2019 As others have said already, the architecture is very neat. It looks really realistic. I might copy some of your designs in future myzect builds (if i ever come to that ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bodi Posted January 29, 2019 Fun build, the columns look great, though that lady has drawh most of my attention, she's apparently in distress. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Roadmonkeytj Posted January 29, 2019 The woman front and center must not like the prices. I am jealous of all your natives lol. But the pottery and rugs were a great inclusion! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TomSkippy Posted January 29, 2019 Thanks for the kind words everyone! @Ayrlego Yep offer still stands, What do I need to do? I would like to be the first foreign entry. The fabric stickers are custom, I copied the pattern from the Maraca Guy. The lady torso is custom as well. I love the white cloth legs, so I copied the pop star torso and fairy torso, changed the colors and added lines. @Bregir Great suggestions. It’s a little too thin for minifigures (I tried putting a guard there. One of the weird things about building for Myzecs... they wouldn’t have barrels (they’d use wicker baskets). Extending the roof a stud or two and fitting a figure back there is a good idea. @Kai NRG The bowls are the porcelain bowls with a coat of paint The rest of the pottery is two utensil pots (the one in the back is upside down) and then a reddish brown head upside down with a fez in it) 6 hours ago, Fraunces said: As others have said already, the architecture is very neat.

The architecture is hardly mine, I copied/combined techniques from the myzec thread, lego modulars, and google searches for “lego Aztec moc” Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Khorne Posted February 3, 2019 Lovely little build! It feels very alive and appropriately Myzec! It almost feels like something from 'Apocalypto'. As others have commented the figs are really outstanding and the custom torsos are great. I also like the mix of old color bricks with new ones. It gives a nice weathered feeling. The architecture is spot on . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
