Aurore

Great scene! I love how each minifig is different, and I'm really impressed by the landscaping : the colour palette looks perfect for the setting, and that rockwork...is just gorgeous. Good luck to the lonely Guardian.

@(Luc)ky Luke Thank you so much! I'm glad someone noticed the shrew's burrow... @Blufiji Thank you very much!

Wow! Very impressive tree house. I love the autumn foliage.

@Littleworlds Thank you! I Indeed need to build a second series with those guys...I had drafted Hunding and Sieglinde, but was not satisfied with them.

@Atilio Thank you very much!

This is really impressive! I love the amount of detail you put in the decoration of the building.

@W Navarre Thank you very much!

@Sinthoras Thank you! Great idea for the Feegle - I need one of those blue trophies!

Just for fun (and to decorate my bookshelf), I made my own Discworld Witches Collectible Minifigures. From left to right : - Granny Weatherwax, - Tiffany Aching, - Magrat Garlick, - Agnes Nitt, - Nanny Ogg, - Erzulie Gogol. Don't hesitate to expand the spoiler area to look at the close-ups. C&C welcome! P.S: sorry for Granny being out of focus in the group shop - I I guess she doesn't like to have her picture taken and deliberately stepped out of the focus area!

@Eoin Wallace Thank you very much!

Great build! Very creative, with nice details and an interesting backstory. I'm looking forward to the next episodes!

@mrcp6d Thank you very much! I'm glad someone noticed the pine cones! @zoth33 Thank you so much for your review!

@Louis of Nutwood Thank you very much! I'm really glad you like the Stone! @Zilmrud Thank you very much! Of course, don't hesitate to involve a mitgardian shrew in your story : I'm sure they would love to raid those supplies... @Grover Thank you so much for this detailed review and the kind words! Of course, I love your idea of a fauna and flora encyclopedia for all the realms. It would be such a fun thing to share! And I have to confess your comment on my english brought a tear to my eye. I'm indeed French, not a native english speaker, and it took me a while to write the text. @Littleworlds Thank you very much! @Faladrin Thank you so much!

The Spirit of the Standing Stone | Aurore | Mitgardia

This is my first build for the Guilds of Historica! It's a Free Build for Mitgardia, and I'd like to add it to the Landscapes of Mitgardia community build as well (if it's still possible). Not very far from Horgaard, in the foothills of the Heavenly Mountains, stood a stone. It had always been there - as far back as men could recall. Nested in the snow throughout the winter, lost among wildflowers in the heat of summer. It was said to be a gateway to the world of the unseen, to the world of mighty mountain spirits and mischievous gnomes. And sometimes, extraordinary encounters happened. As my sigfig Sigrid Haraldsdottir is an enthusiastic naturalist, you'll find below a few details on the flora and fauna featured in this build.

Wow, I love this build! The way the scene can be deployed is awesome, and I'm fond of the little black puppet horse (am I right? Is it a horse?)

I really love the idea of this "Landscapes" Community Build, and I just finished a MOC that may fit in there - I'll take photos and post about it this weekend. But as the last update of this thread is from 2015 and the title mentions only Book II, I was wondering if this Community Build is still open. Is it? Edit : glad to hear this Community Build is still open! Here is a contribution : The Standing Stone - Southern foothills of the Heavenly Mountains

I had a similar issue with the order I tried to make this afternoon : the transfer from the B&P basket to the standard LEGO Shop basket failed with a "non expected error" message. I (patiently ) refilled my B&P basket and re-tried a few minutes later, and it worked.

@Grover You're most welcome! I'm glad if my minifigs could be of any help. @Ayrlego Thank you very much! I hope you'll like the MOCs I'll make for them. @socalbricks Thank you so much for those kind words! @de Gothia Thank you very much!

Thank you very much! The doll is the "Professor McGonagall" nanofig from the 2018 Hogwarts Castle set. The "Professor Dolores Umbridge" nanofig from the same set would have made a cute doll too, but it's definitely too pink for the setting of my village. Thank you so much! I hope you'll like the first build! Concerning the torsos : - The ones of Dagmar and the blacksmith's wife both come from Princess Leia minifigs (this one and this one with dark tan arms) - The one of the blacksmith's daughters comes from the Incredibles "Underminer" minifig, turned backward (it's this one : the back print is not shown on the BrickLink photo, it really was an excellent surprise when I received it!) - The one of the hunter comes from the Wiley Fusebot minifig (this one). I have also extensively used the leg parts of this minifig!

Very well done! I love the look of the ruins, and how they have been converted as an outpost by the orcs.

Thank you very much! Three of them only will be in my first MOC. But I have many MOC ideas that would involve the others too, I hope I'll be able to build them all! I'm afraid my MOC is going to disappoint you! I'm not an experienced builder and have a very small building space (just a standard desk for both building and storing, actually), so my first MOC will just be a small vignette involving three of the figs. l intend to go on progressively with other vignettes and a few buildings - and then gather them all together if I find enough space. Thank you so much! I hope Arne the minifig will live up to his name!

As I'm impatiently waiting for a few BrickLink orders to add the finishing touches to my very first GoH MOC, I began to doodle a few inhabitants for my Mitgardian village Horgaard. Then it went out of control. I got really enthusiastic with the definition of each character, their story, their personality, and then the selection of the appropriate parts. It felt like designing costumes for a theatre play. Now Horgaard has many inhabitants, but still no finished building... Horgaard Inhabitants by Aurore, sur Flickr From left to right : - Dagmar Haraldsdottir, ruler of Horgaard, with her sister and advisor Sigrid (my sigfig) - "See, sister, everything is well in Horgaard. Stop worrying about the constuction delays and try this excellent plum pie." - Their niece Solveig, showing her new doll to the blacksmith's wife under the watchful eye of her tutor (and of a cow) - "She's named Nanna!" - The innkeeper, who hates pigs unless they've been turned into ham - "Foul beasts!" - Solveig's older brother Sigmund, with the steward of Horgaard and veteran soldier Arne, respectfully waiting while the blacksmiths checks the blade of the steward's sword. Behind them, Snorri the storyteller arrives in Horgaard - "Greetings everyone, how is the new granary construction going?" - Solveig and Sigmund's little brother Siggi, friend to all living things, befriending one of the pigs lead by a young farmer - "Hi little guy!" - The blacksmith's daughter and a young hunter discussing the comparative merits of the longbow and the slingshot - "You should give it a try!" - The fisherwoman, a woodcutter and the village elder having a hard time with uncooperative animals - "Hey lady, may I help you?" And in case anyone would be interested, I've added a few close-up shots as spoiler. Thanks to all the brave souls who would have read the whole description!

@ArneNielsen, thank you very much! I'm really glad you appreciate Odin - I was really enthusiastic when this minifig head was realeased as it immediately made me think of him. @GhostDog : thank you! It's true it's been a while since I have not seen a movie, serie, or whatever, based on this story...

@sander1992 Thank you! It's a great epic story about how cursed gold lead the norse/germanic gods to their demise. Many different versions exist though, with more or less surnatural elements...
