Put down one for greg3's Kaseem's Camel Dairy, the most unique in premise along with: Tereglith's Abu's Fantastic Puppet Spectacular, to which I will award my second point. badboytje88's Alamut Market deserves one point as well for the clever use of fabric bits and other unorthodox elements. Finally, I award my gratitudes to all entrants equally for an impressive collective turnout. Thank you!

It's amazing how well the checker pattern stands out considering its simplicity in both color and design. Typically, only ships with brick-built hulls are subject my awe-inspired admiration; this noble lady seems to be a spectacular exception.

I see. Slyowl has provided some valuable assets in that case, however, I think that 2x2 black tiles (maybe with some 1x2) when new and shiny could provide the cheapest and most practical design for the mirrors (see?). Naturally, you could also mix more than one method for multiple mirrors if the shiner elements are desired. Finally, the flooring in the EofAlshire's image below seems to resemble the look of this technique pretty well.

While I am moderately lost by Mr. Suvie's suggestion of click hinges, I am able to affirm that this is a very ambitious project for the reason that I have seen so little in the Baroque style and almost nothing built in the Rococo (not to mention the palace if huge; I'm assuming that you only plan to build a small section). Before I provide the few examples across which I have come, I wanted to ask; are you building the exterior in addition to the interior?

So I found some photos online of preliminary western set prototypes from the 90's when the theme was new. I immediately recalled this thread from three, four years ago and proceeded to hunt it down in order to perform some cyber necromancy, but I see that ISC beat me to it, although it took a few seconds for me to realise that his post was actually made in July of last year, not in this one. Anyhow, I digress very greatly. So! Here are the photos projected for an audience this past week at the Comic Con. And look! There are the trains that Sting mentioned in the initial post of the topic (also note the cacti and bison). See the rest of the photos around this point in Model Gal's flickr stream.

Heh. I remember the original topic. http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=11781

No problem, mate. It's great to learn of your admiration for the aesthetic. You have a flickr account as well?

I saw that Teahouse at Brickfair as well. In fact, I think I may have built it too! The elegant peristyle has given this a great start. I'm really looking forward to seeing it progress. About the grass, I usually leave mine studded, but I don't mind tiles. About the kettle, a 1x1 "cheese" slope may work better than that 1x1 cone brick. About the bed, The dark red three-sided slopes takes away from the "clean" look. I suggest only using tiles. And about SNOT, keep in mind that 2:5 plate ratio. If you have any other questions, I'll be here waiting.

Whoa. I was not expecting this. That's very awesome. My sincerest of gratitude to Captain SlyOwl and all those who donated to the cause that turned out to be a great contest; thanks all. Heh, nice.

It's 10185 Green Grocer, actually. I'm also going to have to agree with Kirk, the architecture doesn't quite reflect 17/18th century style (sorry Zorro). Here are my suggestions for what to remove. ~ The large, multi-story bay windows became popular only by the Victorian period, it would do you good to replace them with several flat shuttered windows ~ The large, floor to ceiling panes of glass are also a more modern innovation, the technology to produce them only in use around the 20th century ~ The same goes for the awnings; 20th, maybe late 19th century So, those three architectural facets really only came into use at points after the East India Trading Company had closed. Your application of effort to combine multiple copies of the set is certainly admirable but I'd suggest modifying it a bit further before simply replacing the town minifigures with that of pirates.

3 Guss (I love the canopy bed on the elevated floorspace) 2 ISC (You already got my praise on flickr) ;) 1 Infomaniac (Packed with nice details!) 1 Majek (practical, minimalist, really nice) The turnout has been awesome, thanks everyone.

Thanks very much, everyone. I regret that I've been away recently and have had little time to attend my thread here, but I thank all of you for your replies. Half pins have definitely been used for candles by others in the past (can't seem to find any BS links though...), but I believe I may be the first to use the newer telescope piece as a candlestick (as well as a screwdriver for the wick). Thanks!

Nice, thanks for sharing this. This builder's works are always beautifully and meticulously detailed; this is no exception. However, I doubt your invitation will do much good considering the man registered here while a while ago under the name of Piglet.

Carts & Carriages Index What is this index for? The Carts & Carriages Index is for all the completed carts and carriages in the Pirates MOCs forum. This index covers all the terrestrial vehicular units of centuries sixteen to nineteen; aspects of pirate LEGO build not included in the land based or accessory index. How is this indexed? The Carts & Carriages Index is sorted by ship type. You can view your options directly below this introduction. Most pictures are linked to the Eurobricks discussion topic, but some of the earlier ones aren't. To find the discussion topics for these, please follow these simple instructions: - Click on a thumbnail to go to the Brickshelf gallery. - Copy the numbers at the end of the URL of the Brickshelf gallery. - Click here to go to the search engine of Eurobricks for the Pirates MOC forum. - Paste the numbers in the "Search by Keywords"-field and click on "Perform the search". Anyway you can help? You can help by giving suggestions and informing us about items that have not been indexed. You can ask questions, give suggestions, and inform us about items that have not been indexed in this very thread. To what extent is this updated? This index is updated on a regular basis. All of the LEGO ships in the Pirates MOCs forum should be in here, save for very new ones which are waiting for the staff to index them. The Index I. Military, Nobility, & Royalty A.

I seem to like every next series better than the previous. In fact, I'm very eager to include some of these in the timeline, I might just have to crop some of them. And a question; It seems that you limit yourself to five vignettes for each country, all pre-World War II? I'm not sure if that's intentional but I think that in some cases like this one, going into the atomic age with a Sputnik or Yuri Gagarin vignette would be another great addition. Anyhow, the grouping you have is nonetheless great, although I'm not exactly sure what it is upon which the soldier is soldier is mounting that flag.

Thanks all for your support. I'm definitely missing the Middle Ages here as it's not a period in which I tend to personally build, so I'll try to add one of you things, Dillon, for that sake. I might have to set a I decide date myself however; I hope that's okay. I'd love to add some of TinyPie's vignettes. Hopefully the lad will show up here sometime soon? If you build the stuff I'll be happy to add it. I find this particularly inspiring - http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=349550 Only it's too bad that like many others it is an emulation of a general geo-cultural style within a vague time period rather than a certain date of notable significance. The former is very tough to map on a timeline.

Ahoy. The past few days I've been assembling an online timeline interface chronicling world history in LEGO from the works of several members of the online community. If you'd like to take a look, the page can be found here. So far Justin Vaughn (Mainman), Jordan Schwartz (Sir Nadroj), Andrew Summersgill (Dr. Sinister), Alan Saunders (Kaptain Kobold), Pedro Cuahchic, and Daniel Siskind (Brickmania) have been kind enough to offer their photos. If there's anyone else who wouldn't mind allowing me the permission to borrow some pictures please say so here. It'd be great to get more contributions from different people, but since the key here is quality there's no guarantees of inclusion. Thanks.

I don't hate you.

Hey, great to see some familiar characters here; your honored reputations for building make your comments all the meaningful. Many thanks! Ha, I can relate to that viewer demand but even still I'm not quite sure about the usage of the term "emperor" for Edo period context. Minor technicalities set aside, I really enjoyed reading your writeup. Yes, you have. You've forgotten that you commented (twice) on the first MOC I posted online about three years ago. Seriously though, that's just about one of the best compliments I've ever received. Yes, I saw that too, thanks again. Naturally the image manipulation is not even close to being an issue, simply being featured is no less than an honor.

Ah, no I hadn't realized. That's quite blatantly the source of the new replies then, awesome! Fun backstory too, even if I'd have to question the historical aspect of it. Thank you very much for that honor, and thanks to you two; Klaus and Asuka for the further feedback! Also, I'm not sure if Sandy's still interested here, but I did take a shot or two from angles similar to what she suggested. http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=361984 Probably should have posted them here sooner.

This has been a great excuse to build an asian themed microscale MOC from an obscure but lovable children's television show. Fire Nation capitol, tank, war balloon, and airship as seen in "Day of Black Sun: Part II"

Ah, I do see that now. It's a shame you don't have an open copy however, for I do prefer the dark tan tent to black, I don't think you'd want canvas of such a heat absorbing color in the desert, it probably get a good bit hotter inside than it would otherwise. Regardless, I was wondering why you've added this to the Old West group of mine? I'm not sure it quite fits in.

Ah yes, very reminiscent of your jungle one in terms of the layout and backdrop. Although I feel a little weird about having the Well of Souls above ground, I do like that oasis. I also suggest the inclusion of a tent or two if you own a copy of that Indy 4 Jungle Duel set; that might make for a nice army camp as seen in the film.
