[MOC] Everyday life of a dwarf

[the Inventor]

Everyday life of a dwarf, mine some ore, wash yourself, visit some distant family, converse with the ladies, defend your mine against goblin intruders who try to steal your precious stuff and start to joy ride mine carts...

Believe it or not I even used some sand red, can you spot it?

I also used my 12V train lightning again, for some extra character to the build and completely purist of course. :P

Build for the Summer Joust 2022 Subterranean setting category.

Great scene. Lots of details and action all about. The 12v lighting gives it the right feel as well. Outstanding!

[SirBlake]

Super cool! The lighting is really nice. 

[Triceron]

Love the little details here!

The Dwarf statues holding the flames are a real cool touch.  The bathing Dwarves are funny too!

Fantastic build, my only problem is those lady dwarves are missing their beards!

Would love to see Lego revive the dwarf mini's, especially with the hinged short (medium?) legs.

Fantastic insight into dwarven life.

Gold, weapons and adventure - what else could there be?

[Sarophas]

Love it! Great feeling of depth and live, really well done

[the Inventor]

Thanks all.

Happy Dwarf village! That two intruders will be captured and treated mine slaves

Epic

[MontyMatte]

Wow. Thanks for sharing this great MOC. I love your high level of details and your photos let me dive in the situation.
How long did you need to create this?

[vincelam58]

Amazing details! And the lighting is just incredible! 

[LegoAUT]

Really impressive and fun build! Makes you wish you were a dwarf in the heyday of Moria or Erebor. 

[the Inventor]

Thanks for the comments.

@MontyMatte I'm not really sure, it is one of my faster builds.

I started with the gate on the 27th of June and finished the MOC and took the final pictures on the 3rd of July. Although, most of the work was done on the Friday evening, the 1st of July and the weekend. I remember not doing much else that time, so one evening and two whole days of planning/building.
