Lovely snap-shot with great depth! Love the little story as well

Thanks a lot!

Thanks! Thought I needed to add a bit more colour to get some contrast with the doors, glad to hear you liked it! Haha, thanks man! Glad I was able to convey that feeling . Cheers! It's all nice and quaint until the lady that runs the place gets pissed.... Thanks man. Thank you, was hoping a different colour of the window would be a little more interesting than just a plain white/tan one. Cheers! Thank you dude, glad you felt that way. Gotta keep with the aesthetic I've established . Haha, thank you! And you are more than welcome to come for a visit. Much appreciated man (tack!). Glad you liked the figs as well, had a lot of fun posing them, haha!

Cheers man, glad you liked it . Thanks a lot! More is coming and I've tried to stay true to this style, so glad you liked it

Thanks buddy, appreciate it . Glad you liked the road as I realized it was probably (clearly) inspired by you Barqa builds, haha! Cheers man! Dark orange will definately be a reoccuring colour throughout Mophet .

For most of her life, M'Usa Qi'run had worked at the small stable near the marketplace in Mophet. As a child, she used to help her father care for the horses and after he had passed she took it upon herself to carry on running it. Her temper was known throughout the Siccus badlands, an attitude forged by the conditions of her environment. Although she did have a soft spot for the horses under her care, her husband Hi'san was often the recipient of some less than caring words... With Mophet growing, the business had gotten more and more intense. Merchants and travellers often used the stables as they passed through, for a small fee of course. M'usa had even started letting out a bed in the room next to the stable, as accomodations were still a bit hard to find in Mophet (for an additional, not so small, fee...). With the income, the couple had recently taken on a stable boy who was primarily in charge of cleaning up after the horses...a less than glamorous job in the scorching temperatures... Hi'san the horse tamer going about his everyday work. The stable boy swetting in the foreground... Al-aqlu, a stonecutter who moved the Mophet after the war, is transporting materials to one of the many building sites in the area. So this is my second build for the Kaliphlin at Work. Figured (while also reading through HSS, haha!) a stable would be a fun addition to Mophet. Pretty happy with the overall look of it. Wanted it to be "more than just a stable", so I decided to put a small living-area adjacent to the area where the horses are kept. As I wanted to show this as a part of the more central parts of Mophet, rather than on the outskirts , I chose to go with a smaller buildning and make it a little closed off with the somewhat low walls surrounding it. Hope you like it, feel free to comment as always.

Thanks! Appreciate the feedback, glad you liked the colour of the plants. Thought it contrasted pretty well with the surrounding so I'm glad you agreed

Very nice work! Really liking all the colours of the spices and the cloth in contrast with the background and the ground.

Thank you! Was a fun little build , glad you liked it Thanks a lot! Thought about going with a well but figured aqueducts would be more fitting given the climate. At some point it would be fun to go big with a bunch of arches as you said but I didn't think that would be appropriate at this location . Glad you liked the house as well. I've been a bit torn between making things as "pretty" as possible and going with what I imagine Mophet would be like. At this point most of my builds will be a bit barren, especially on the ground (as evident in my Town Hall build), as the story I'm going wth is that it's a city on the rise. Later on I will probably update some of them but that will have to wait until Mophet is a little more established (if that makes any sense, haha!). Glad you liked the house and got what I was going for with a simple but functional structure for the climate. And the kettle outside is exactly what you were talking about, a hint that most of the cooking is done outside, at the back of the buildning. Thanks a lot for your feedback, much appreciated. Thank you very much man! Very glad you liked the aqueduct. More builds are on the way so hopefully you'll like where Mophet is heading Much appreciated man, thanks! A fun build and a bit trickier than I expected to get the aqueduct in there without it looking out of place. Cheers

Nice one, great idea with an all-lego scene and really nice shot through the arches. The lighting works very well too, adds to the serene feel of the whole garden. Well done!

thanks a lot man! Only took me nine tries to get it right

Thanks a lot man, should be a fun couple of weeks posting and I'm really looking forward to what the rest of you guys have in store Thank you, and I get what you are saying about the depth of the aqueduct, appreciate the feedback . Cheers! Thanks buddy, glad you liked the aqueduct. Wanted to add a little something and figured that would be a pretty logical addition to the farm. Cheers man! Glad you liked it . Trying to have a pretty consistent look for Mophet so the stripes will continue, haha! Glad you took the time to look at some of the details! Thank you very much man, glad I was able to start off on a positive note with the collab . Thought it would be fun to add a little info about the wierd plants that they grew, glad you liked it! Cheers dude! Water is precious for sure . Hopefully the rest of my Mophet builds won't dissapoint

So LittleJohn and Kai had a great idea to get a collab going and landed on the idea of showing Kaliphlin at work. As I wanted to expand Mophet to a proper town (or city...) I felt it was a great opportunity to get building. Noticed our guild had been falling behind a bit in the gold-standings but that will hopefully change in the coming month So this is the first in a coming series of builds showing the everyday life in Kaliphlin. Make sure you check out the other builders' MOCs which are coming along during the following weeks :) Starting out with something that every aspiring settlements need, a farm! This particular farm is located in the outskirts of Mophet and is growing Juz-albieta, a very nutritious plant which is able to thrive in the harsh deserts of Kaliphlin. It's sort of a mix between a potatoe and a carrot and is a base-food for many of the inhabitants of Mophet. The MOC shows a couple of farmers going about their everyday life, harvesting the crops. Hope you like the MOC as well as what's coming during this collab. Stay tuned, more is on the way :) As peace had returned to Kaliphlin, and the rebuilding was slowly coming along, life started to return to normal. Farmers were able to go back to their normal lives and do what they knew best, farm. The Arkbri river, which ran approximately 15-20 miles north-west of Mophet, had always been vital in supporting the otherwise dry land with water. A series of canals and aqueducts had been constructed (and recently rebuilt), which made farming in this climate possible. One such farm was run by a couple of brothers, the Hazans'. Like most living in badlands, they were grateful to still be alive given the turmoil that had ensued for the last couple of years, and looked forward to aid the people of Mophet with their crops. Going back generations, the Hazan family had been farming Juz'albieta. And they were mighty proud of that heritage. Their father had always preached the importance of being able to support one self, and the pride one can take in an honest days work, especially if that meant being able the feed the people around you. The younger brother Ma-hi enjoys the work a bit more than his brothers...

Great work man, and very glad that we could trick you back in, haha! When SLM comes asking there is no declining . As I already told you the build is great, that roof is stunning. I'm still torn between whether I like the build or the story the most, which is saying a lot given how awesome the build is! Great job man

Nice one! Great texture and very pleasant colourscheme. And that roof is just great!

Great job man, the roof is definately my favourite part of this build, love all the angles

Thank you man, great to get into the whole world of Kaliphlin and looking forward to continuing to expand . Glad you liked it!

Lovely work and as always very crisp photography. Really like the look of the building itself, very nice balance between being solid and serving a purpose, as well as interesting (beautiful) to look at. The crane is fantastic! Also a little torn about how I feel about the studs on top of the tower, maybe it would have look a little ”better” with fewer of them exposed. Or at least by changing the height a little on a few of them. But at the same time I cant help but really like the studs showing, especially when it’s done intentionally as a nod to lego building. After all, what would we all do without these wonderful studs, haha! Anyways, overall a really impressive entry, best of luck to you

An amazing build @Gideon and as @dalle said, it’s been a lot of fun watching this whole thing come together. The angles are very impressive and the colours match beautifully! Very nice to see you expanding Barqa and I’m looking forward for Tabib D’Odo to have a chance to visit . The story behind fits great and I love that unfinished dome with the exposed inner structure. Class all the way throughout the build! Best of luck in the challenge buddy

Thank you very much man, trying to use the stripes (or atleast versions of it) as a sort of hallmark for Mophet. Very glad you liked it! Thanks a lot! Hard to find a balance between texture and keeping with the story. Wanted it to be pretty clean, given that it’s new, so I’m glad you liked that!

Thanks! I hope he will be an interesting character to follow

So much to like about this, the roof, the base . What I like most though are the finished planks at the end, just awesome!

Thank you very much! Appreciate the feedback and will probably give the ground a little more love next time, haha! Glad you liked it! Thanks Glad you liked the colourscheme! I understand the thoughts (quite a few of) you have about the ground Thanks!

Thanks man, they just built it so it should be clean Thank you very much! Cheers man, glad you liked the posing as well! As I said previously, I get the feedback about the ground, thanks! Thanks dude, I’m sure you’ll get things done Glad you liked the door too!
