Puvel

Lovely pics! The ricefields and walls are beautiful, adding the mountains and clouds really makes this excellent

That looks great! The scenery and the castle go really well together

Homecoming | Puvel | Mitgardia

Snorri's house

House Phase 2:

Updated the landscape with more tiles, cheese slopes, colourful flowers and an extra tree. It looks a lot livelier now so thanks for all the tips!

Hehe, just remembered earlier today I still haven't introduced my character or updated that WIP I posted months ago... Time flies! Titles and profession: Farmer - Protector Short Bio: Snorri Puvelson, son of Puvel the Hurn, is a veteran of the Alguswars. After receiving training from his father, Snorri joined the fight in the cold mountains. Even though he’s a battle hardened veteran at his young age, his aim is to lead a peaceful life and make his hometown prosperous again. Hometown: Kyllingfelt Parts: Hair, Head, Torso, Legs?

The trees are great and the landscaping is lovely! Nice variety in colours and I love the tiny mushrooms

*Your entry has earned 10XP* Home, the place where you feel most comfortable. Umzaar Lulmo would have never guessed he’d feel at ease here. He had made quite a name for himself helping out bounty hunters and smugglers in the previous decades. He proved to be very resourceful when it came to scouting areas and discovering local secrets. Some years ago he found himself working on Felucia and discovered a love for the local flora. It wasn’t just about the hallucinogenic properties that many of the plants had, although that sure spiked his interest at first. The wide variety of plants each had their own story and would tell a lot about the environment, which was very helpful when trying to locate hide-outs of certain people. Apart from that, many of them had healing qualities and would greatly benefit a large variety of people and other life forms. So he ended up getting more interested in the scientific discoveries he made than in taking risks while hanging out with dubious characters. One day his contact told him about a ship called the Avarice. It was a huge vessel that was a home to all kinds of species, surely they must have research department he could visit. So when the Avarice visited Felucia, he called in enough favours in order to visit the ship. And what a visit it was! After talking to the people on the ship, he took his chances and offered his skills to the crew. And now here he is, surrounded by books, his beloved plants and interesting characters from all over the universe. Life is good.

Thanks! Don't really have light flesh tiles, but I'm sure I have some tiles and wedges in green so I'll look into updating the landscape a bit. Thanks! Good point about all the green, added the white flowers to counter balance that. A little more colours will be added! Thanks! I'll take more picture once I updated the build Thanks! Good point about the three leaf plants, never though of that! I'll see what I can do about replacing those with grass stems, flowers and so on. Anyway, you have to hard on yourself sometimes in order to improve :D Whenever I posted a build I was happy with before, there were always people suggesting little things that would have made the builds better. So I figured I'll ask for tips since I'm not completely happy with this one. Have to agree, the house was fun to build (not including the roof), always wanted to do something in that style and I'm happy with those walls. Guess I sounded more grumpy than intended in the description The house was more or less finished a couple of months ago. When I took it from the building table to take photos, I dropped the freaking thing... guess that's when I started getting a bit frustrated with it. Have some fresh ideas now so thanks for again for the tips!

I've been working on this house for way too long now. Had lots of issues with the roof, the front of the house used to be more tilted forward but I changed that and I'm happy enough with it now. The scenery around the house is the problem now. Tried some different things and I like the current colour combination but overall I think it doesn't look lively enough. There's probably a lot of things I can do about it but just haven't thought of yet. Already missed Challenge I because of this so figured I'd ask for advice here so I can start on something for Challenge II instead of looking at this one in frustration for another couple of weeks :D The idea is that my character comes home after the wars and his family is happy to see him so they run to him, in case you were wondering why the minifigs are placed like that. This can be changed as well of course. So feel free to give some ideas/comments, I know there's a lot of room for improvement. UPDATED PICS:

Excellent little castle! Love the different styles for the roofs and tower bases. The colour combination is great too, very coherent yet enough differences between the different parts of the build

Like others have said, this is a great build! The atmosphere is lovely, the bellows and the forge look great. The hanging chains are a great touch, makes it feel very lively

Beautifully written and a great mix of text and pictures. Lovely pictures too! They show a great atmosphere. The build itself is gorgeous too of course. Really like the throne and pillars. Overall very excellent sir!

I built a house that's being rebuilt, if that makes sense. Built it exterior a while back, just been struggling with the roof a lot but I'm sure I'll be able to come up with something soon Oh but first I'll have reintroduce myself here :D

Lovely scene you built there! Giving the buildings different roof colours is a good idea, the landscape slopes nicely and adding the little garden livens up the scene. Love the water basin for the sheep! (and the sheep look great themselves too)

Lovely looking landscape! Great colour scheme in there, and the placement is well thought out

Thanks Kai! Thanks Titus! Did my best to make some nice minifigs, spend ages looking for trousers matching the outfits and you can't even see those in the end :D Thanks SK! I'll build a gatehouse at some point, just have fit it on one baseplate and it can slide right in then. Making the terrain in front of it is an excellent idea, I'll try to remember that Thanks HQ! You have some fair points. The lower trunk of the tree is a bit too wide on the right , should have put the foliage more in the middle. And they're undercover skunks living the dream of being a badger! Another possibility is that I totally forgot the existence of skunks but remembered about badgers. But let's go with me being creative like Grover said :P Thanks Grover! Well-maintained fortress walls are a rare occurrence it seems, but they do a better job at defending! Thanks de Gothia! Thanks Kevin! Made this with 2x2 corner tiles and those are not available in dbg yet so had to go with a nice clean wall

Here's my wall phase 3: I double checked and made sure phases 1 and 2 were registered before posting a phase 3

Thanks! Think it's about 300 of the tiles per wall section? Ordered loads of them via lugbulk last year and still have a big bag left Thanks! I added the tree and the hunt to make it a bit livelier but there's still a lot of grey indeed. The plan was/is to make a gatehouse in the middle at some point, I built this back in January so figured I procrastinated enough and it was time to take some pics already

Thanks for the summary SK! Hadn't seen loads of those. Back in December I mentioned I was working on an AoM build, finished it ages ago but finally got round to taking pics of my wall

Every year the people gathered around to enjoy the badger hunt. Dogs were set loose to chase them, it was up to the locals to show off their lassoing skills. This way the fur remained in excellent condition. The wall technique is by Simon NH

Will make an updated intro pic at some point but I can say Puvel stays loyal to Mitgardia.

Another lovely building! The detailing on the stond part looks great. Looking forward's to seeing them all combined.
