    You have grown from being a decent builder to being one of the best around here over the last two years. It's simply amazing to see your MOCs now!

    So few comments? Just stopping by to tell you this MOC is amazing and deserves more attention. Probably the best waterfall I have ever seen in Lego. Wonderful work!

    Have I already said that this is another great MOC of yours? I haven't? Shame on me! Great idea, and lovely execution. So fitting for this world. I guess Román Fontonajo might want to buy some of those.

    That is really beautiful, once more. Especially the plants add a lot!

    Your tone is absolutely disrespectful and inappropriate. Please take a minute to consider what you are writing here, and what that might do to those you address. The leadership-team invests their free-time to create and manage a game for people like you and me to consume and enjoy. Sure, not all decisions are right and the best, and I am always fine with discussing plain out wrong decisions and unfairness. But this is far from being the case here - it's just that things take their time, and probably not all members of leadership do have 10 hours per week available (remember: free time). Sure, it would have been better to keep the old system running until the new one is ready, but hindsight is always more clever than our past selves. But please keep it fact-based and don't become personal.

    Very cool, just cool! Those roof-windows are looking fantastic. Amazing colour-scheme as well.

    Not really sure if this is going the intended direction, but hey... EDIT: Wups, didn't realize that was the Corrington thread and thought it was General Discussion instead... Sorry Corries, this one aint for you. :-)

    Beautiful! White backgrounds for white houses do have some drawbacks, but aside from that nothing to criticize. The tree creates the most wonderful atmosphere.

    That is beyond spectacular. So impressive, just wow!

    Great barracks. The fact that it is of such little height really creates a appropriate atmosphere. Nice wall technique, and those small arches above the windows are really nice. And a nice palmtree. And nice soldiers. BoBS definitely is flooded with industry-MOCs, great to see some more military presented.

    The cleanness of the execution adds a lot to the build. A funny contrast to the process of rotting, but it makes so much sense. Great use of those masonry bricks all around the MOC. And I love that roof, definitely a benchmark for factories. As you say: Really nothing fancy, but as usual - very good execution in every aspect.

    @Khorne: That is really cool! :-)
  13. Elostirion
    So impressive! Really, really cool.

    Pretty cool. Like... really cool! :-)

    More than three hundred years ago, the Myzec were at their prime, a highly sophisticated civilization, the undisputed rulers of Cascadia. But prosperty brought another problem: Time. People suddenly had plenty of it available - to think, to develop ambitions, and to start political intrigues. Vohazulan, a minor servant of the high priestess of the Myzec, used his influence among the common people to secretly originate his own religious cult. The "Felinians", as they called themselves, worshipped the large carnivourous cats, the apex predators of Cascadia's deep jungles, as gods. Soon Vohazulan's followers grew in size, secretly raising temples in unfrequented areas deep within the jungle, where they worshipped their feline gods. The Felinians refused to fight the carnivourous cats, and being eaten by a god was the greatest honour the cultists could hope for. While Vohazulan had only strived for political influence and raw power, his cult had soon made itself independent from its founder. Young men who were supposed to become warriors, scientists or masterbuilders, and even young women who were set for their way to religious and political power, ventured into the jungle alone, to become prey to the claws of the gods. Thus having acquired a taste for human flesh, and knowing the ease of obtaining it, more and more cats had become pure maneaters - which had not been their nature ever before. When the great retreat was initiated, at the time when the Myzec retreated into the protected valley and lost all contact to their mother civilization outside, Vohazulan was banned from the city of Myzectlan. While most Myzec believe he has found his self-created doom between the teeth of the largest tiger that had ever been, some fear he had secretly returned to the city, and that his cult may have lived on in the dark till this very day. Most Myzec, however, think only the events around Vohazulan and his cult have lead to the retreat of their whole people into the valley, and thus also to the demise of their civilization. Only in recent years their warriors have started to rediscover their bravery, venturing into the jungles once again, always ready to fight the felines, while the scientists hope that over generations the cats may have forgotten the taste of human flesh. This, at least, is what Halosian scientists have extracted from the incomplete records of Myzectlans history. Quite heavily inspired by this 3d rendering which I found via Google...

    Why haven't I commented on this fantastic, lovely, amazing, wonderful piece of work yet? So sorry, because this MOC deserves a comment. Let's start with what I don't like: The masonry bricks are too evenly distributed. I would much rather have them densely stuffed in two or three spots. Like if the plaster has just broken at some places. Let's continue with what I love: The bridge is amazing! Ok, only half a bridge, but still fantastic. The roof design is lovely, the style very similar (which is great!) to Bregir's MOC. The oven inside, the roasting process - great depiction, so cool! Excellent minifig posing and a very busy atmosphere all around. ETTC in the ground is a nice addition. These chimney-windows (for the hot air to flow out), and the guy opening the hatch with a long stick is my favourite, really fantastic depiction of this. Lovely work overall, please give me more!

    ABSOLUTELY PHAENOMENAL! It really seems as if there was water and everything is floating/swimming in there! WOW!

    So absolutely fabulous! So what do I love most? No clue! The tower is absolutely amazing, the style indeed is perfect, and the mix-in of the two greens to show it's over-grown-ness works out wonderfully. The rest of the walls behind the jaguar are really cool. I definitely love those palm-trees with the green whip which I already copied from you once. The small creek looks amazing, and having it right at the edge of the MOC makes it look a lot larger. My clear favourite, though, is the cleanness of the vegetation. How it slowly elevates towards the tower, how you found the perfect mix of greenery, and actually make it look extraordinary without doing any fancy or overly complex plant creations. My favourite, though, I guess: Minifig placement is a different art, which is often key to MOCs. Animal placement is in my opinion even harder, but you just nailed it 100%. So damn great!

    This is definitely the most creative fort we have seen so far - what a fantastic creation, and so fitting for the Sea Rats. The best thing is your genuinely brilliant execution, though. That must have been a pain to build, I assume? Absolutely stunning, amazing, fantastic, outstanding!

    That panther.. is just going to drink, I guess? :-) Thanks for your comment, including all those tools to the cabin was quite a mess (had to disassemble and reassamble it numerous times). Thank you! Actually (almost) all credit for the jungle has to go to my girlfriend, who was a great help with this MOC and created most of this lovely jungle. I gladly take the feedback for the cabin, I like that you like how it turned out. :-) FIRST! Thanks for the great feedback for the hut. I actually experimented for over an hour with the roof, only to go back to my initial attempt (the one you can see in the picture) with only minor amendments. Happy to hear that you like it (and also the hut in general). The part is 15469 in Medium Azure, can be found e.g. in Elves Treetop Hideway. Thanks for your praises, hiding the panther (however not too much) was quite a challenge, actually. Neither will she be eaten, nor is she intended to be particularly Corrish. But let's see what happens? :-) Thanks for your feedback. The lush jungle was, as stated above, all done by my girlfriend. Regarding the logs: No, actually just bricklink. But they are great. Thanks for your praises! I am also not too certain regarding this whole big tree. Maybe the MOC would have needed two or three of these, and then if only one had the yellow flowers it might have worked better. But we definitely ran out of space for this to work out. Thanks for this feedback, and happy to hear you like the rest. :-) Thank you! Great to hear that. Many plants were knocked over during construction, placed upright again, knocked over again, and so on. Quite a pain. Thickness comes with a price, after all. :-) Thank you! I agree and hope to create more like this in the future. :-) Thank you. The fish was actually one of the most easiest things to build, however I personally also feel it has a great effect. Thanks for confirming. :-) And sure, why shouldn't the two meet in the depths of the jungle. These cats are overly fascinating, after all! Thanks. Feeling is all it's about! :-) Thank you - glad you like it! :-) Thank you. That panther is such a fantastic "brick", I just had to use it. Makes me happy to hear that you like this particular picture (I do as well). :-)

    Fantastic LDD trees! Neat idea and finest execution!
