Dan Church Posted June 21, 2011 (edited) Bridge connecting three medieval kingdoms in a rare time of peace. The bridge is constructed over the Marahan River which separates 3 very distinct landscapes. Even though it was a time of peace, each kingdom heavily guarded their border in case any country tried to break the peace. This was displayed this past weekend at Brickworld in Wheeling, IL. Enjoy! Comments would be much appreciated. Edited October 14, 2011 by TazManiac Indexed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
L-space Posted June 21, 2011 I like it. The concept as a whole and especially the way the sides of the tower are connected. great use of cheese slopes. Lovely scenery with very outstanding lands at the end of the bridges. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brickdoctor Posted June 21, 2011 Love it! The cheese slopes used at the corners of the towers work beautifully, and the sheep are fantastic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vincent Kessels Posted June 21, 2011 Yes, it really caught my eye when you were setting up at Brickworld. That fact that it is not on a square grids makes it inspiring. And as already said, great details and use of those slopes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SilvaShado Posted June 22, 2011 Amazing design! It's so original and innovative! As others have said - love the cheese slopes, the triangular intersection, the sheep! The layout of each side and the choices you made were perfect. Nothing was over-done or under-done. Now... where's the rest of those three kingdoms? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Parga Posted June 23, 2011 Fantastic and awesome ! I think the fisherman is very cute. Nice job ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tazmaniac Posted June 24, 2011 Love your work Dan and this is no exception! Like others I'm diggin' the sheep and can't help but think those gaurds are spitting abuse at one another from their posts, with the occasional clash of fistycuffs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Gray Posted June 24, 2011 Fantastic creation. The idea is a fun one and you executed it perfectly. The different landscapes, the triangular shape, and the shields on the actual tower marking which kingdom was which, they all work together perfectly!

Alex the Great Posted June 25, 2011 Very well built tower! But what I love most of this MOC is the differneces in lanscape between the three kingdoms. The rock for the crownies, grasslands for Black Falcons, and desert for Dragon masters: I think it fits perfectly! Can't wait to see more creative MOC's from you.

Si-MOCs Posted June 26, 2011 I saw this posted a bunch of times on various people's photostreams for BW11 - it's nice to know who actually built this. Like everyone else has mentioned three huge wins: Cheese Slopes, Sheep, Concept. Awesome :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rufus Posted June 26, 2011 Man, I thought I'd seen everything at BW but I completely missed this Some lovely techniques there, and the whole is a thing of beauty I particularly like your sheep! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rolli Posted June 28, 2011 That's a pretty rad design. I'm in love with the sheeps. The tower. The bridge. Almost everything ;) Only thing that bothers me are the connections between the river / water segments. I really don't like that there's such gaps. But shame - I don't know a better technique... Awesome build! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
