I Scream Clone Posted January 27, 2010 Tombclone Welcome fellow Eurobrickers to the start of my Western series. Today I present two MOCs from the town of Tombclone. It is highly recommended that all town members carry a firearm at all times due to the likelihood of gittin shot inna back. First up we have the Tombclone Saloon, a shiftier, surlier place of corruption you will not find. In fact it appears to be high noon and a showdown over a gold claim is about to draw blood. In this town the law is a necessity, what with gold claims, disputes and general frontier hardship the Sheriff's office is a busy place. Take a look around but be sure not to loiter. Pictures are links to higher resolution images. I plan to add to this topic as I create more features for Tombclone. Don't forget to check out TheBricksters Gravestone series or Legohaulic's Western MOCs which were both a great source of inspiration. Also if anyone would like to photoshop some desert landscape onto the pics (hint hint) go ahead, pretty please. Full Tombclone Gallery Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rick Posted January 27, 2010 (edited) This is really amazing ISC. I knew you were up to something when you started that topic on Western figures recently. I really like the color scheme of both buildings. The 'Green Grocer' bricks work really well on the sheriff's office and look good when combined with the white roof. But my favorite part has to be the wooden balcony structure on the saloon. Finally, a really 'Classic' Town (Blogged! ) Edited January 27, 2010 by Rick Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the Inventor Posted January 27, 2010 Great work ISC, I really like your buildings. The front facade of the Sheriff office is great. And your Saloon is great too, although the doors look a bit skinny, if you look at the first picture. But that balcony is great, well done. the Inventor Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WhiteFang Posted January 27, 2010 Hey, we have a new town in Eurobricks, and it's known as the town of Tombclone! I am fairly sure, you are attempting to relate it with your user name, "I Scream Clone". So, this is your long awaited presentation to the World of Wild West, and I am very sure this will thrill TheBrickster very much. The gunfight at the Saloon, appears to be very dangerous and exciting with those armed fast moving guns! Seriously, I don't think those ladies are too pleased to be part of this action. Shouldn't they be feeling worried or scared? I have not seen a green looking Sheriff's office. Most of the time, that I have seen are made of brown bricks, to represent a cottage looking house, whereas yours adopt a different but unique colour scheme, and in fact, I like the signboard and rooftop which you have built at the front. These are real nice buildings that you have done there, especially when this is your first attempt (I assumed) in your Wild West building. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kris kelvin Posted January 27, 2010 It`s time for Wild West It looks very, very good ISC. Nearly as good as my western City Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steel Dragon Posted January 27, 2010 Tumbleweeds! Hahaha! Great work, these look like Jamie Berard designed Wild West official sets. Awesome stuff, and so much detail! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lightningtiger Posted January 27, 2010 Fantastic ISC......great western buildings of course with a good old saloon fight and please don't shoot the piano player ! I'm a conformist! ISC ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Etzel Posted January 27, 2010 (edited) It sure is Western season! I'm sure you can't guess what I'm working on right now Although I'm fairly sure my MOC won't be as awesome as your or Kris Kelvin's I really like the colours you used in your buildings. Not only the tan, dark tan and brown which gives a nice natural feeling, but also the sand green and white that shows that the inhabitants of the town actually cares about it's look. Yesterday I spent a lot of time building the people for my western MOC and you've given me some nice inspiration for how to expand their numbers. I especially like the minifig in front of the Sheriff's Office with the SW rebel torso. I really need to get me one of those! (EDIT: I posted in your topic about Western minifigs too, you can watch and comment my minifigs there if you like) Great work ISC, I can't wait to continue to explore the town of Tombclone Edited January 27, 2010 by Etzel Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WesternOutlaw Posted January 27, 2010 Yee-haw! I Scream Clone does it, and very nice I will add. I reck'n I'll be back for a more critical review of each of your Tombclone buildings. Looks fantastic so far! It really is great to see interest in the Wild West theme - one of those "warm fuzzies" for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

badboytje88 Posted January 27, 2010 Wow you just keep spilling out these lovely western MOCs! The minifigs are awesome as usual. I really like the use of the cape as poncho.

I Scream Clone Posted January 27, 2010 Thanks to all of you for stopping by to comment on my Tombclone builds, I hope to have more soon.

These are real nice buildings that you have done there, especially when this is your first attempt (I assumed) in your Wild West building. I guess you figured out the link to my user name I am glad you like, I was keen to use Sand Green for one of the buildings in Tombclone and feel it looks good. It sure is Western season! I'm sure you can't guess what I'm working on right now Although I'm fairly sure my MOC won't be as awesome as your or Kris Kelvin's I really like the colours you used in your buildings.

Cheers Bushes are better made from ants From Zgredek (Lugpol) gallery Very creative use of ants indeed.

Svelte Posted January 27, 2010 I love that saloon - especially the detailed balcony supports detailing I like how you've photographed it so the bricks look like dark tan and dark brown too Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NewRight Posted January 28, 2010 These are both great I love the classicstyle of them both. I would love to see more out of the series. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Darth Hawken Posted January 28, 2010 Wow nice western MOCs. The saloon has a great balcony and good deatailed supports also you have captured the feeling of a western diorama with the gunfight about to happen with the creative tumbleweeds Now for the sheriff's office. how you did the dark green and lighter green is really creative and the roof and deck are great too. I would enjoy seeing more of the series if there is more, yet it would also be alot more authentic if you did the inside of the buildings. Wonderful MOCs, these western creations have been becoming more commen hopefuly TLC will relize people still enjoy the western theme and reintroduce it to Lego Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
samurai-turtle Posted January 28, 2010 Very well done on both buildings, I like the guy being thrown out of the Saloon . Keep it up, I like seeing all these western MOCS. I thought the guy was jumping out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Teddy Posted January 28, 2010 I really like the style of the MOC, this is top notch. The style is a lot like Kris Kelvin his MOC. Are you two planning a layout or something? Is there an interior? Do you have some back shots? Kind regards, Teddy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Klaus-Dieter Posted January 28, 2010 (edited) That's a great Wild West MOC, I Scream Clone! I really it! The buildings look very realistic and the minifigs add the right atmosphere! The only thing I do not like are the "coats" of the bandidts - they would surely look minimum the good without them. And the signs "Sheriff" and "Saloon" put in these square "boxes" look imo too modern. Otherwise it's great! The most I like the detailed railings of the saloon. Very well done! Btw: Did you (think about to) add some interior in the buildings? Klaus-Dieter Edited January 28, 2010 by Klaus-Dieter Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
