Welcome! I ended up on your Flickt account a few times before and I have to say your cars are really impressive.

This is absolutely amazing! Do you draw your MOC's on brickpaper before you create them?

Since the tree in my latest MOC seems to be an eye-catcher, I'll leave a picture of it over here.

Instantly recognizable architecture. Great job on the curved roof and the clever technique for the trees.

Nice collection. I've made a "viking friend" myself about 2 years ago. Prepare for death by cuteness:

I'm not from the US but it's $199.99 USD. You can check it yourself by changing the region at the top of the page on Lego.com.

Thanks for the great comments everyone! The technique I used for the tree is the same as the flower patches in this MOC. Each leaf has 24 bright green flowers in it, which adds up to almost 300 in total for the whole tree. It's a bit expensive but it was deffinitely worth it. I've only used the name of the location. Couldn't think of a better name myself.

Amazing MOC once again. You don't see many bright colored medieval MOC's a lot.

The MOC itself is way to large for a set but it can be seperated in smaller sets. The boat, mosaic wall and the fountain are my favorite parts. Brilliant use of the frogs for the swan heads on the fountain.

Impressive build. I like the statues and how the landscape breaks the greyness of this MOC. The darker light you used for the pictures also adds a lot to the atmosphere.

This is my latest MOC. I've built this after cancelling my modular landscape project. Front view: Right side view: Back View: Left side view: Additional picture can be found here.

It's been a long time since I've uploaded a MOC. One of the reasons is because I was busy with a large project. As you have probably allready read in the title it's a modular medieval landscape. Each part was built on a 48x48 baseplate. Not long ago I decided to cancel the project however, because my building skills improved a lot and I wanted to focus on smaller MOC's instead to improve my skills even more. I finished my latest MOC yesterday and I've just uploaded the pictures so I'll be creating another topic fot that one. Anyway, here are the pictures of the landscape: Part 1: Part 2: Part 3: This one wasn't even finished. Part 4: I allready broke this one down for my new MOC before I took pictures of it. Luckily I had this one still on my phone. Overview 1: Overview 2: A bad quality phone picture. Additional pictures can be found here.

Nice room. I really like the red wall with the logo and the classic space minifig.

Right click on the image and go to the image information. There should be an URL of the image location. Select and Copy the URL, click on "image" in the comment box and paste your link in there. I'm not sure if every browser has the option, but if you right click on an image the should also be an option to directly copy the image location.

Your ships are always mindblowing. The size, detail and minifig-scale... How do you measure the correct size of your ships?

Absolutely stunning! I don't know if 250 hours and 50 days is long or short for a huge and highly detailed MOC like this but I probably wouldn't have done it in that time. (Or maybe I am just a slow builder, which is also true).

I have a lot of good experience with the customer service. As a kid I liked to write letters to de Dutch customer service. Just for fun, about how I liked a visit to Legoland during the holidays and for info for a lecture on my primary school etc. They always replied and I've gotten a few freebies that way. One time I actually worte a letter because a figure from a Star Wars set had the wrong head. They've sent me the whole figure afterwards instead of just the right head. A few years ago I was missing a piece for the Grand Emporium. I filled in the form on the website and I recieved the piece really fast afterwards. The last time I had to contact the customer service was a about week ago. They forgot to add the free Lego Elves polybag to my order. In the e-mail I received from them they first stated that the elf must have met a handsome knight or has been kidnapped by a troll, before saying that the polybag should have been added to my order and that they would send it to me. It sound a bit childish to write something like that to an adult but it's still a toy brand and I thought it was pretty funny. So yes, Lego's customer service gets a 10/10 from me.

Ok, Thanks. I didn't find that thread when searching. I guess the mods can close this topic then. Or merge it with the other topic.

I just came across an article which lead me to the following article on Greepeace's website: Imagine you're eight years old and picture the Arctic. There are no oil rigs, no industrial shipping and no politicians fighting over it. It's just an endless sparkling expanse of sea and ice, populated by brave scientific explorers, magical animals and Indigenous Peoples who have called the far north home for millennia. An enchanted place to explore, create stories and let your imagination run free. At least that's what LEGO is telling kids. Its new Arctic play set has brought the magical polar north into kids' bedrooms around the globe. And by doing that it's helping to educate children and create a generation of Arctic supporters who will be inspired to protect it. But sadly LEGO is only telling kids half the story. What it's not telling them is how it's also helping Shell to threaten this beautiful and fragile place. It's done a deal with Shell that's helping the oil giant clean up its image as one of the world's most dangerous Arctic drillers. Shell wants to take advantage of the melting ice to drill for more of the fuels that caused the melting in the first place. But scientists say an oil spill there would be impossible to clean up, devastating the Arctic's unique wildlife. It's faced fierce criticism for its plans from environmental NGOs and regulators, and reputation-wrecking media coverage. Shell knows it needs to fix its bad reputation to keep its Arctic scheme alive. And a deal with LEGO, the world's favourite toy company, is a PR dream come true. Already more than 16 million Shell-branded LEGO sets have been sold or given away at petrol stations in 26 countries. Shell is so delighted by the results that further promotions are already planned for this year. But LEGO, the biggest toy company in the world, has built its brand on its continued promise of leaving a better world for children. And by teaming up with Shell it's letting kids down. Global warming is perhaps the biggest threat facing all children around the world, and protecting the Arctic is about protecting the climate. By letting Shell get its oily hands on kids' toys, LEGO is allowing Shell to pretend it's a caring, family-friendly company and helping it to get away with its Arctic aggression. And children love the Arctic and its unique wildlife like polar bears, narwhals and walruses that are completely dependent on the Arctic sea ice. They wouldn't want to see them threatened. Their deal is also helping Shell to flog more of its dirty oil, build trust with its customers, and even exploit kids' love of their toys to build life-long loyalty it just doesn't deserve. We can't let this go on. Now Shell is threatening the Arctic, it's time for LEGO to finally pull the plug on this deal. That's why today we're launching a massive global campaign calling on LEGO to block Shell. In countries on six continents, our movement of more than 5 million Arctic defenders will mobilise to break this relationship. Together we'll call on LEGO to stand up for Arctic protection, and for children, by ditching Shell for good. We know this toy story can have a happy ending but LEGO will only listen if millions of people around the world, like you, ask Lego to stop cleaning up Shell's image. So, what do you think about this? I can see how Greenpeace might see it as false advertising but I don't think Lego is cleaning up Shell's image with this. They might be partners but that's probably just business and I guess Lego isn't helping Shell with it's Arctic drilling on purpose. However it might be time to stop this partnership now. The arctic theme itself hasn't anything to do with Shell. It's just a newer version of the old Arctic theme with the same concept. Should Lego have changed the concept of this theme then? Good guys vs. the oil drillers? I think not. This is a sub-theme of the City theme and City isn't about violence.

Very interesting build with lots of NPU. I guess the curved gate is my favorite thing amongst all of these things. I think this tree is better than your other one. Still, I wonder how fragile it is.

Nice job! I like the water and the diversity of buildings (although they seem a bit to small to me). The minifigs add a lot to the atmosphere as well. And the cute bear of course...

Try Bricksaic. It's easy to use and has enough different options to get a good result.

I received the minifigs today. The box was a bit crushed but furtunately none of the figs was damaged. Thanks again CopMike!
