mikey Posted October 19, 2010 (edited) Just a small experiment to see if I could come up with a plough: Edited November 23, 2010 by I Scream Clone Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Masked Builder Posted October 19, 2010 Very nice plough technique you've got there! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stiel Posted October 19, 2010 Great use of the clips and handles. The shield is a good idea. Also, I love the positioning, it adds a lot to the whole picture. Great job! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
charlieboy Posted October 19, 2010 (edited) Thats fantastic! Love the way the field switches from unploughed to ploughed What set is the old farmer chap from? Edited October 19, 2010 by charlieboy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikey Posted October 19, 2010 Thanks for the nice comments, this was a fun build in the end. I was loosing hope of getting it to work how I wanted, but when it came together (eventually!) the constant reiterations made it all the more satisfying! Thats fantastic! Love the way the field switches from unploughed to ploughed What set is the old farmer chap from? The torso is from the Medieval Market Village, and I think the head is quite common now, probably in the Advent Calendar as it was near the top of the head box! I thought the head had a really great shouting expression, which was perfect for getting that stubborn Ox to move (my oxen have udders!). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lightningtiger Posted October 19, 2010 Excellent plough design there 'mikey', the use of that shield is a spark of genius ! The field is nice too. Great work and keep on.......ploughing ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mrlegoninja Posted October 19, 2010 That poor peasant finally got a job! I really like how you made this plough. Great work! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
coupi Posted October 19, 2010 I really love this :) It would be cool to see it done with more stages; level soil, ploughed soil, grass, small plants, large plants and plants golden ready to harvest! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
XimenaPaulina Posted October 20, 2010 Great plough design mikey! And even greater ploughed soil build. Very impressive! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Flare Posted October 24, 2010 Good job, I like your plough design I haven't seen too many other ploughs so this may be one of the first! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikey Posted October 24, 2010 (edited) Thanks again for all the positive comments, they are all appreciated. Not quite sure why I decided I had to build a plough, but once the idea was planted, it had to be finished! That poor peasant finally got a job! I really like how you made this plough. Great work! I just realised that the torso is from the wandering beggar in the set, so yeah seems like things are looking up for him! I really love this :) It would be cool to see it done with more stages; level soil, ploughed soil, grass, small plants, large plants and plants golden ready to harvest! Thats a great idea, it would make a nice series of scenes, the same field through the four seasons. Anyway, thanks again from everyone with the nice comments, fun building and fun sharing!

Big Cam Posted October 24, 2010 Wow, you really did a good job. The ground plays a big role in making the scene, but you made a really good looking plow. Your picture is so clear too. I'm a sucker for a good picture. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Admiral Ron Posted October 24, 2010 Looks great, I love how,as said above, you made the ground look ploughed and how the actual plow was made, keep it up! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
