K-Nut Posted September 4, 2011 (edited) :wub_drool: In all honesty, this is one of the best MOC's I've ever seen. The detail and size make it stand out. You also made a mostly one color MOC not be Bland at all. Great work. Edited September 4, 2011 by K-nut Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lightningtiger Posted September 4, 2011 Totally mind blowing creation 'gearcs', fantastic detailing of the inside of the mine.....you don't want a cave-in right ? Goodness, what more can I say except.....Brick On 'gearcs' Brick On again ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
I Scream Clone Posted September 4, 2011 An exceptional build gearcs. I love the scope of the mine, very reminiscent of Moria. The Orcs look splendid, I just feel like the stonework on the walls suffers a little from "big grey wall" syndrome and could use some mottling with dark grey or tan/dark tan mixed into the stonework, or even some moss growing. All in all though it looks a million bucks, and probably cost a few as well Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sirens-of-Titan Posted September 4, 2011 (edited) Wow gearcs! I love the size and architecture in this! The variety of angles, mini areas of detail and varrying textures give the gray walls quite a bit of life. The characters look great and of course your minifigures are wonderfully picked out. The variety of orcs is especially cool. EDIT: Damn spelling errors Edited September 4, 2011 by Sirens-Of-Titan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tazmaniac Posted September 4, 2011 Wow that's one great MOC! Your use of photo editing has worked wonders on the flat grey walls, adding a life like texture. Your use of hight is very refreshing, and so true to what I'd expect from a dwarven mine. Top stuff, well done! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Toadtorrent Posted September 5, 2011 WOW. DOUBLE WOW. TRIPLE WOW. This is mindblowing...truly mindblowing. The scale!!! The ability to capture the feel of the mine...amazing. This is absolutely stupendous. OUTSTANDING!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheLegoDr Posted September 5, 2011 The sheer size of everything is impressive. Then you add in the detailing of the walls, columns, and ceiling and it gets more impressive. I also was thinking of combining those different sand green heads to add some variety to the orc army. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
22kane Posted September 5, 2011 At first glance I thought it was your reference photo for the MOC. Then I realized it was the MOC! Super cool build, the detail is just stunning. I also like the photo effects that have made it so life like. Great job! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ogre Posted September 5, 2011 Very impressive! I don't think I even own that many grey bricks. LOL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Praiter Yed Posted September 5, 2011 Simply stunning! Although I like the photo-effects I feel that picture '10' in your flickr really gives an idea of the amount of time and effort you must have put into this creation. It would be nice to see an image of the whole MOC. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gearcs Posted September 6, 2011 Thanks all! I've added new photo to my Flickr gallery to compare the size of MOC. I think there's more than 2000 1x2 LBG bricks. All I have... I didn't use more colours on walls this time. It should look like the new hall, but with lion statues and arches damaged by battle. Now it's time to rest and restore the energy before CCC.

Gabe Posted September 6, 2011 Brilliant creation gearcs - as others have said, the depth and scale of it is just breathtaking. Lots of lovely details to appreciate too. I like the mix of rough and dressed stone, and the way the doorway at the top of the stairs seems to extend even further up. The pillars look the business and all the ornamentation is just perfect - i just wish there were more shots of the ground floor, where the statue base is! I am undecided about whether or not i like the effect of so much of one colour though - like others, i feel that maybe some mottling could help break up the uniformity of the walls. I can understand not wanting the background to detract from the action though, directing our focus to that wonderful staircase. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Undo Posted September 7, 2011 (edited) An amazing creation gearcs! The architecture with all those details looks stunning, and the feel of the scene is so surreal. Remarkable stuff. Edited September 7, 2011 by omerai Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
