Behind the Veil

[I Scream Clone]

Hi EBers

Here is my entry on Classic Castles Hidden Fortress section.

The Orc's have a hidden cave hideout which can only be accessed by damming the waterfall for a short period of time. On this occasion the Orc's have ambushed a small group of Crownies, taking them completely by surprise!

Enjoy

I can only post 3 pics so any help on choosing is appreciated.

Cheers

Photos 1,2,4 and 7 are the ones that show it off best for me. 1 gives a nice overall feel, 2 shows the beautiful curvature of the waterfall as well as a nice view of the rocks, 4 the close-up of the inside really makes me feel like the orcs are marching in with purpose and 7 I just love the look on the crownie's face and the image of the fallen treasure chest.

Good luck and let us know how you go.

2, 5, and 6 are the ones I like. Maybe retake a nice overview from the outside, but give it a downwards angle. This way, it would give a great overview of the entire front of the MOC, but also by aiming down, the viewer/observer can view the sweet bends of the top of the waterfall. If that doesn't make sense, I'm sorry, I need to go to bed, so my editing skills are gone.

Really well done though. No need to make a door, you got one from nature. Nice job with the landscaping. Maybe if I throw my camera at the wall a few times, I might be able to take pictures like you? My camera drives me nuts!

Great creation. I didn't expect there to be an interior to the mountain, so that was a fun surprise...and I didn't expect a modular piece of SNOT for a waterfall. Pretty cool. I should also add that I like the bridge you created, too.

[Fordo Jumping]

really a surprising idea!!

I bet all the soldiers will be frightened

and run away right now...

perfect scene, and really fascinating!

the inner cave is impressive

and the jail for humans is great

Very cool creation.

Where did you get those gold accessories?

I'd go with pictures: 1, 5 and 6.

That is a really cool MOC. I really like the idea of a hidden base in the rocks that can only be accessed through the waterfall.

Thanks for the nice comments I forgot to take a shot of the modular roof with the trees taken off.

Very cool creation.

The gold weapons are Brickarms I believe. They were a gift from a trade I did. Not sure if they are current stock or prototypes If Enigma is around Im sure he will know.

It is, of course, a non-orginal idea, but the build makes up for that. The idea of the dam at the top is new though, I think. Very well done. I also like the curve in the waterfall.

I think 2, 5 and 6 show all the ideas of the MOC the best (one of an overview wit waterfall, one without, and one of the whole inside!

Great job ISC. It was a great idea and you built it really well. My favorite thing about it is how the waterfall and everything is slanted. Now get back to working on some modules for the EBCCB!

The gold weapons are actually the brickforge spiked mace and trident.

Oh, and I think that 1, 5, and 6 are the best pictures.

I really like the hidden base in the waterfall idea, but otherwise the MOC is very typical.

[gogobig]

Your MOC is very interesting and detailed. I liked how you made the water curve at one point, I believe that was in picture number 2. The picture where the orcs are coming out is fantastic, as well as the guy running away.

My scoring for your MOC:

Creativity: 10/10 - fantasic overall. I love the waterfalls, samll bidge, the idea of waterfall as a gate and orc cave

Detail:10/10 -Not to bulky, yet very nice, stylish lego "woods" atmosphere

Playability:10/10

Originality: 10/10

Overal: Perfect

Nice one Josh it looks great mate I like all the pics so dont ask me to choose!Besides these guys know what there on about when it comes to the best pics for a comp I imagine!

[I Scream Clone]

Thanks for the clarification Thrash

Cheers for all the nice comments too I ended up posting 2,5, and 6 and Im pretty happy with those.

Apparently I may not be able to move figs between photos which will kind of ruin the surprise effect, oh well will see.

Great work on a fantastic entry into CCC. The crooked waterfall is wonderfully done. A great MOC all around.

[I Scream Clone]

I have added a new first picture showing the waterfalls angles off nicely. Thanks for all the nice comments.

[Snake...SNAKE...SNAAAAKE?!]

Didn't see that coming.
