Derfel Cadarn Posted January 14, 2011 Hi there, This is the first moc from a series im building called The Countryside Collection. Each one will be part of a village, as most people seem to build towns and cities. I hope to build a Butchers, bookshop, pub, bakery, green grocers etc, all in the style of an English village. This is the Riverside Boathouse, a perfect place to relax after a hard weeks work in the busy city. This was a old CCC entry that I never entered and its been sitting around gathering dust until I decided to change the windows and add some modern features. Its not exactly what I was going for, but it works. I hope to make each one better and more colourful as I go along. Enjoy Not the best pics, but Ive been pressed for time recently.

AussieJimbo Posted January 14, 2011 Truly superb. I am in awe of your highly detailed models. :classic: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Syn Posted January 14, 2011 this is the reason I hate people like you. You always make stuff that looks so BEAUTIFUL, I just want to build something that good, but I get frustrated later because its never as good. You Sir, make AMAZING MOCs and I have to tell you that if it wasn't for Mocs that looked as good as yours I don't think anyone would be as interested in LEGOs as much as they are today, so your not the solution your just adding to the problem and I thank you so much for adding to the problem everyday!

mpec82 Posted January 14, 2011 Like it (and your other MOCs too) very much. Can't wait to see the completed village. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gcanik Posted January 14, 2011 I love the base you created, very creative but does not take away from the MOC. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
buddy Posted January 14, 2011 Excellent MOC! It is highly detailed and looks realistic. I too like the base you have made for it. Extremely well done. ~buddy~ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lightningtiger Posted January 14, 2011 Now your genius can be found the city forum 'Derfel Cardarn', an AWESOME boathouse and COOL brick-built row boat and mega-greenery too ! I hate to think how much 1x1 round plates you used......er, how many do you use ? (maybe he cleaned out Bricklink ?) Well I will wait for your next installment, so Brick On 'Derfel Cardarn' !

L@go Posted January 15, 2011 That is truly astonishing. Love the boat and the brickwork around the door the most - but I really love absolutely everything! I'm a sucker for details, and this really tickles my fancy. And you say it's just the first in a series? Can't wait for more! And that sentence in small writing at the bottom of your signature is brilliant Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wooootles Posted January 15, 2011 Very nice! The plant life detail is what I found to be the one I'm staring at the most in this great, great MOC. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cecilie Posted January 15, 2011 You never build anything that isn't gorgeous, do you? This one is just as stunning as the other ones I have seen from you. And I wonder how you have the patience to stack that many 1x1 round plates on top of each other... Oh, and that little boat is really cute . Nice touch with curved edges on the base too. Looking forward to seeing your next work Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

XimenaPaulina Posted January 15, 2011 You really never cease to amaze us with your outstanding creations Derfel, and this one certainly doesn't disappoint. Yet another magnificent creation with lots of realistic details - lush and verdant greeneries, your signature textured walls, the sparkling riverwater - all these coupled with the equally great base truly makes this a stunningly beautiful masterpiece.
