Captain Braunsfeld Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 Hello, some time ago dwarven attack boats had been sighted in Tradewind Bay. Noone but the dwarves knew where they were heading. Their destination was a secret dwarf mine on a smaller island in Tradewind Bay. The mine was founded by Gangrosh (The Hammer). A statue of Gangrosh can be found near the entrance. A mechanism to open a secret door is included: What makes this mine special are the long railway paths leading into the mountain. This allows easy transport of mithril. ... and gold. Builder's notes: Building was fun, but photo-editing was an hour-eating nightmare. This is the largest display I have tried to capture. Was not so easy. So this is what has finally become of MOD: 7036 Dwarves Mine. C&C welcome! Quote
Tomsche Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 I really like the green background for the contrast Great build mate! Quote
LittleJohn Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 Very nice build! I really like the curving rails Quote
MiloNelsiano Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 That's awesome. I really love the mine cart tracks. That hidden door is also a great feature! Quote
Jorrith Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 Those mine carts are really great! Also the length of the track with the extra buildings on the end are great! This is quite a large build, excellent! Quote
Robin Creations Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 It looks great! The mine carts are fabulous and I really like the look of the masonry bricks on the front Brick-on Captain! Quote
Captain Braunsfeld Posted February 22, 2015 Author Posted February 22, 2015 Thanks for the kind comments. I am picking two to answer: I really like the green background for the contrast Thanks - that is a relief that you like it and no-one else has complained so far. I have tried different backgrounds and we had some discussions in the family, and then I settled for this greenish thing, because it adds positively to the overall light/dark grey of the MOC. Those mine carts are really great! Also the length of the track with the extra buildings on the end are great! This is quite a large build, excellent! Yepp, a large build. When I was done I found two more track pieces, which would have added another level...that was too much. Quote
soccerkid6 Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 Sweet mod of a great set! The enlarged rail system looks amazing Quote
Yzalirk Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 Nice build, I love everything that has to deal with Dwarves! This reminds me of that one castle set as well. Quote
ArchitectureFan Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 Very nice mine - I remember your first version. Good idea to combine it with those rails. Brick on! Quote
Dubbadgrim Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 A lot better than the official set ;) Quote
Captain Braunsfeld Posted February 28, 2015 Author Posted February 28, 2015 Nice build, I love everything that has to deal with Dwarves! This reminds me of that one castle set as well. That was really a great set - I wouldn't mind TLG to redesign it and bring it on again! Very nice mine - I remember your first version. Good idea to combine it with those rails. Thanks! A lot better than the official set ;) Yepp, but would be "a bit" more expensive... And: This is NOT a lego ideas project .... Quote
Loves Houses Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 Love the set, looking forward to see more of Tradewind Bays buildings and dwarven holes Quote
I Scream Clone Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 A favourite set of mine re imagined. Well done on a cool build. Quote
