LBaixinho Posted August 12, 2020 (edited) A Peculiar Estalagem da D. Gertrudes 1 by Luis Baixinho, on Flickr After the Mars Rover I was planning to build a fantastic/medieval MOC. Due to the lack of parts, I postponed this project and went ahead with this one. The idea was even to make a small inn of an unusual shape on an island. The main inspiration of the idea (and not the construction itself, since the result was to be quite different) came from a Miyasaki film, Porco Rosso. I liked the concept of "house-island" so much that I intend to return to the topic briefly. A Peculiar Estalagem da D. Gertrudes 2 by Luis Baixinho, on Flickr The construction process was quite linear as I was not interested in abusing with advanced techniques. I wanted attention to focus on the MOC itself and not the way I did it. I was building over several days without any great hurry and, amazingly, I just had to make a big change that led me to "split in half" the MOC to replace a part. Most of the details came naturally, always with some care so as not to break the apparent peace of the place and preserve a timeless air. A Peculiar Estalagem da D.

I don't know if this is the best board for this MOC, since the era is historical but not defined. The Moderators can change it if you feel better.

Louis of Nutwood Posted September 5, 2020 Fabulous work with this charming inn, L.Baixinho! It's clean with just the right amount of detail to be an official set on its own. Beautiful array of colors and the rockwork is amazing. Keep it up, my friend! Cheers! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
