    Cool builds, I like the rockwork and path in the first build, though I would have had the cliff not end so uniformly. The second scene looks pretty creepy and the statue is excellent

    Thanks dG Glad you like the bridge as not too many others have mentioned it

    Nice to see the new dark red leaves being put to use Those signs look great too

    Thanks Masa! My main reason for having the build open was to be able to take decent pictures of the caves

    Thanks, there aren't many cheese slopes maybe 20-50, but there are a ton of clear 1x2 plates and rounds. I've gotten all the pieces (except the cheese slopes) from a PaB wall, so I have a lot of clear to work with. I'd guess there are several thousand 1x1 round plates as I used those the most heavily, probably a couple hundred 1x2 bricks and near a thousand 1x2 plates

    Great rockwork and the presentation makes the scene really feel like it's taking place in a dark cavern

    Thank you DM, I tried out some new ideas with the snow that I'll use in the future

    Thanks! This build took a bit longer than most of mine, but I think it was worth it

    Thanks Infernum! I ended up getting a few more 2x2 jumpers and using all of my bley 1x1 tiles for this build. The original plan was only to have the two larger towers connected by a bridge, but Kai suggested adding another bridge from the small to the big, and then I added another tiny bridge from the small to the cliff I'm glad you like the windows on the small tower as they were one of the trickiest parts of the whole build, this build implements a lot more SNOT than I usually use. You should definitely do an opening build, everyone likes it and it makes photography much easier As for the snow leaves, I actually got the main inspiration from one of Brother Steven's builds as he used white flowers still on the sprue for snow on one of his trees and I really liked that effect, though seeing you use them also inspired me a bit

    Thanks, and steal away Thanks kabel And I'm also glad that we're both on the same team Thanks jeroenaa, glad it met your expectations

    Thanks, the slope corners were inspired by Dan Church's builds. I'm glad you noticed that I angled the one window, that was one of my favorite details

    I like how you can see the riverbed and the roof of the houses looks pretty neat

    I like how you used the wedge plates and the dark tan bushes fit well in the desert landscape Excellent action too
  14. soccerkid6
    Thanks Wedge! Glad the waterfall explanation was useful Thanks DC And I'll definitely try to improve my technique the next time I use it Thank you

    Thanks Captain Nemo, I was hoping that the opening function would catch some people by surprise Thanks! I had fun using the 2x2 brackets as normally I don't use them much, but in this build they're all over the place

    Thanks Gideon I thought the dwarven additions set off the waterfall nicely and made the build much more impressive, and yes I like to cram as much as possible into my builds

    Excellent rockwork around the castle and I like the path leading from the gate to the dock I also like the wooden section over the gate and the round towers. The cheese slopes next to the round towers look a little out of place though, is there anything in particular they are supposed to represent? Overall an excellent micro build, the water shading is a nice touch Keep it up Matthew

    Thanks Thanks Ska! And good tips for the waterfall, I think some color variation in it would definitely have a great effect
  19. soccerkid6
    Thanks, the tunnels were fun but definitely piece intensive as I had to build most of the interior of the cliffs in dark bley as well as the exterior

    Fossgard Falls:
  21. soccerkid6
    The main focus of this build was the large waterfall, which features a new waterfall technique (more info on that later in this post). The small tower doesn't have an interior as there wasn't space for one with the SNOT design, but the larger towers do and the whole build opens up to reveal tunnels, rooms, and a stairway created by the dwarves. Credit for the snow on the bushes design goes to Brother Steven. Credit for the slope corners of the lower tower goes to Daniel Church. The Fossgard Falls are some of the most famous waterfalls in Historica. The dwarves of Fossgard have many tunnels and fortresses built around these falls, but are willing to allow sightseers from any of the guilds to come enjoy the falls' splendour: Left tower interior: Right tower interior: The waterfall design is quite simple, it uses mainly 3 pieces: clear 1x2 bricks, clear 1x2 plates, and clear 1x1 round plates. Using those pieces you build a wall 2 studs thick in front of white bricks. You use the white bricks to define the shape of the fall, for mine I used 6 studs as the width for the center of the fall, then stepped back a stud and did 4 studs wide on either side of the 6 studs, then stepped back another stud and did 2 studs wide on the outside edges of the 4 stud sections. While building the wall of clear, you attach 1x2 plates so that they stick out one stud from the rest of the wall every so often, and you put 1x1 round plates or cheese slopes on top of the protruding edge of the 1x2 plate. Also as you build the wall every three or four brick layers, you step the whole fall back a stud by moving the white bricks back one stud then keeping the clear wall in front only two studs thick. These two pictures should help show what I mean. This one shows the use of 1x2 plates and 1x1 round plates or cheese slopes in the waterfall: This picture shows how the fall steps back: Hopefully that long-winded description makes sense There are more pictures here: link Any Comments/Criticism greatly appreciated

    Looking forward to it! Your figs are always excellent, it will be interesting to see how you use those new parts
  23. soccerkid6
    Neat texturing on the ground and walls and the 'kneeling' pose is quite effective
  24. soccerkid6
    Those bunk beds are really neat The animals cleaning up is a really fun touch and I like the rack holding food
  25. soccerkid6
    I really like the studs out style of the goblins you've made, and in this particular build I like how you matched that with the studs showing on the side of the boat Great shields too
