Absolutely beautiful! I love the attention to detail on the coaches especially!

Is it just me or has the volume of projects being submitted daily increased? I feel like things are quickly getting buried.

@Ardelon Thank you! Yes, the roof is a bit plain, I tried making up for it a bit with the tiling in the main hall. No ongoing story as of yet. I'll have to flesh out the one I have further! :)

Thank you! Those were probably my favorite part to design!

That dress is amazing! There are so many pieces in it I can't even figure out how many there are!

Thank you! I was trying to figure out how best to do a lotus column and then I remembered the petal brick and thought that would be perfect!

Thank you! The garden area and the palm trees are my favorite, especially with the water.

That was partially the inspiration, with the lotus columns and the roof! And the jackal statues!

Welcome to the Jackal Staff Oasis! Deep within the sands of a long lost desert, the glittering oasis beckons. Rising amongst magnificent date palms and tranquil, lotus-covered pools, is a fabulous temple containing the vast treasures of the surrounding kingdoms. Young Amata has been sent to retrieve the fabled, powerful Jackal Staff contained within this lush paradise, to bring back to her kingdom in need. I built this MOC digitally about a year and a half ago, with the intention of using it as a contest entry, but then ended up not using it. Later, I revived the design and built it in physical bricks. The model has 1522 bricks total, and measures 12" long, 15.6" wide, and 8.9" high. My favorite part about the whole build is the garden in the front with the water features and the palm trees. A close second would have to be the columns for sure! More pictures can be found in our Flickr album! https://www.flickr.com/photos/orientexpress24/ This MOC is currently up and running on LEGO Ideas! Any support would be greatly appreciated!

It's starting to grow on me. At first I was thinking it wasn't an instant buy, but now that I've seen the higher resolution photos I'm starting to rethink it...

Whoa, I love the roofs! It's a little smaller than I expected, but the small details make it intriguing

@Terrasher There's also that yellowish thing that I originally thought was just background material but it has those blue dots in it too, so I wonder if it's part of the build too

Yeah Parisian Restaurant vibes for sure! Looks like a blue roof of some kind. And the brown building on the left looks like it has some green awning type thing maybe over the front window (s) display, I can't tell if it's a red roof or if it's one of those dutch gable facades like the houses in Amsterdam. And then that red dot way out to the left, maybe a sign of some sort? There's sure a lot of white/grey pixels in that column on the left side.

I'm neutral until I see the direction it'll go. Part of me says "Ooh let's see if they bring more AFOL designer programs, maybe mine will succeed this time" and part of it (the Hermione part) says "THE MINISTRY IS INTERFERING AT HOGWARTS"

Yay! And they said a train would never make it through the first tier. Hope they do well in the review portion!

Update: We're now at the station of 1000 Supporters, meaning we got bumped up to 374 days to make it to 5000! It's a tall order but we have to try! :) https://ideas.lego.com/projects/92865fe4-df96-4ccd-a5a9-2a1042138963

Thank you so much, @LEGO Train 12 Volts! Water features in LEGO models are my weakness, I love making rivers and fountains and such! :)

@Littleworlds Thank you! It was really fun to design! Although, seven hours later after I'd finished it and had begun rendering I realized I had spent the entire day doing it

Well, after a long period of not doing much besides the giant Eleitian Central Command model, I present to you my newest model, The Cliffside Villa! The idea came about last Sunday, I was procrastinating on doing stuff I was supposed to, as one does. I decided to expand on the bridge, which I had been building as a standalone concept but couldn't figure out what to do with. I was going to build a fairytale castle on the cliffs that I eventually made behind the bridge, but then it morphed into an entirely different building altogether! The porches, stained glass window, and other elements of the actual pavilion came about next, after I'd laid the groundwork (literally) in the form of the cliffs. I then decided to make it into a combination of my previous Temple of the Moon Maiden MOC and something more open to interpretation. So it could be used, (it sits on a baseplate totaling 32 x 48) as an addition to a modular city! Perhaps a large city park with a pavilion, or some form of garden! From my official description: It's a fine spring day at the Cliffside Villa! The Moon Priest contemplates the deep questions of life on the porch, while his daughter strolls the elegantly appointed walkways of the garden. Two guards stand sentry by the staircase, protecting the inhabitants of the Villa from harm. Explore all the secret nooks and crannies of this large set, from the bell tower to the fish pond to the stained glass window behind which the statue of the Moon Maiden is placed! Set features: - 2568 Pieces - 7 Minifigures: The Moon Priest, Moon Priest's Daughter, Statue of the Moon Maiden, (2) Garden Statues, (2) Guards - Villa features a large stained glass window, metallic Statue of the Moon Maiden on a raised pedestal, and two spacious porches. Upper story features a movable bell! - Elegant bridge crosses a large frog pond filled with lily pads and other aquatic plants. See if you can spot the frogs hiding down there! - Statuary adorns the garden, which is built onto the cliffs with beautiful brick-built birch and cherry trees in full bloom. - Relax on the small bench set below one of the statues! - Features multiple unique pieces, such as the Ornamental gold fish adorning the roof, the Moon Priest's staff, and much more! - Spacious basement level beneath the Villa is perfect for placing hidden treasure or whatever you need for added suspense! But don't just follow that one story for this model, use your imagination to make it your own! This model, on baseplates totaling 32 x 48, can be placed as a standalone model or a complementary model for your modular city! Use it as a pavilion, a city park, or a historical monument in your LEGO town. This MOC is now on LEGO Ideas! If you want to, please help support it, I'd love for it to be one of the lucky few that makes it!

@MatthewRC I love some of the new edits they made! Especially the delete projects button. There are a couple of duplicates on my page from resubmissions and one or two that were less than professional standards that I need to get rid of :)

@Bricked1980 I hope it gets fixed too! Four hours ago I couldn't access other people's profiles but I could access mine. Now I can't access mine either!

Yeah, it's weird, it's still doing that for me. Hopefully it'll get resolved soon! :)

@Modeltrainman Same for me! I tried to follow someone after supporting their project and it gave me the Error 404 message. Wasn't a fluke, either, it happened with the next five profiles I tried to access. Maybe they're updating? I can still access my profile.

I was hoping for Stitch, but ah well :) Of course I was never very good at predicting popularity, most of the stuff that people go for I find counterintuitive on occasion!

Another update! 620 supporters and climbing! :)
