Napoleon53 Posted September 16, 2013 (edited) My first MOC I've been able to post online in almost a year, not to mention I built this months ago and just didn't have a camera to take a picture of it. I have a large collection, but not anywhere close to ones lots of you guys have, so I have to use my bricks wisely, such as skimping on the water; I didn't even intend it to have water to begin with, and if I had, I could have built sideways with blue bricks to do studless water. So yeah, the water looks crappy, and I meant to replace the white tiles near the front before I took the pictures, but forgot. :/ I looked at the EB "Build a Medieval Village" guide to do the millhouse (I'm sorry, but I can't remember who wrote the guide, but credit's due to them). And if anyone is curious, the flag draped on the tower wall is hand-drawn and colored by me, based on the old Pirates Imperial Trading Post. :) Anyway, I hope you like my little MOC here. Leave a comment if you can! Here is the full set on Flickr (with some more descriptions): http://www.flickr.com/photos/55680977@N04/sets/72157635570936125/with/9777691425/ Edited September 16, 2013 by Napoleon53 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ManInATopHat Posted September 16, 2013 Beautiful MOC! I love the tower. Good incorporation of pirates elements.The water is kind of sketchy, but it's only a small piece, so it works fine. Great work! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kermit Posted September 16, 2013 Very nice moc. The buildings are well done but, there is something weird about that tower that hanging over the building. How stable is it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Napoleon53 Posted September 16, 2013 @Man: Thanks a lot, ManInATopHat! And I couldn't agree more about the water. @Kermit: Danke! The tower jutting out was a last-minute addition just to test the idea. It's actually quite stable, and you can mess with the chained monster figure inside (the roof lifts off).

kermit Posted September 16, 2013 The could work but I would make some pillars or columns running down from it to the sea and maybe with some vegetation growing up it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Napoleon53 Posted September 16, 2013 The could work but I would make some pillars or columns running down from it to the sea and maybe with some vegetation growing up it. That's a neat idea! I was thinking about doing a sequel of sorts to this MOC (focusing exclusively on the tower), so you may see something along those lines in the very near future.

kermit Posted September 16, 2013 how about making it so that the two mocs join together to form a bigger scene? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Napoleon53 Posted September 17, 2013 (edited) @Kermit: Not a bad idea, if I can squeeze enough interesting details into that larger space to keep it interesting. Right now I'm working on a steampunk-ish castle (sort of a Dracula-meets-WWI Central Powers type thing), but once I'm done with that, I may make exactly what you suggested.
