Faerie Forest

Post by Siercon and Coral »

Here is the long awaited Faerie Forest :) Deep in the heart of the Avalonia where the best archers and highest earth mages can be found :)

Image
Deep in the heart of Avalonia on the Mystic Islands lies a land rich with magic and mystery. Here is the Faerie Forest capitol home to more than 200 forestmen and elves. The worlds most elite archers are found here in its renown Archery Guild. And if your looking for an earth wizard, ent or faerie dragon rider, here is the place to find them. One can even see the expanse of the mystic isles from redwoods hundreds of feet tall.

Image
Water nymphs and goddesses lace the river with magic, causing every form of magic to bloom on the forest floor.

Image
Even from the heights the trees look close, barely shrinking in the distance.

Instantly recognizable from its archery insignia and redwood stained glass, the Archery Guild is renown throughout the world.

Image
Many of the forestmen dwell over a hundred feet from the forest floor.

The guild walkway is guilded with Purple Roses, this is often a desired spot for weddings.

Fern hoppers! Like a frog and a lizard these little guys like to stay near the water and rest on giant ferns.

All kinds of stuff grows here! There are watermelons, strawberries, grapes, corn, pumpkins and cherries!

Left- The Lovers are a magical place with rumored romance at the crossroads within the Faerie Forest.
Right- If you can make it these rare pinecones are hundreds of feet off the ground! But they sure catch a high bid on the black market ;)

Thanks for reading!
Sincerely, Sean and Steph :)

What is there really to say about this MOC? Not only is it shockingly huge, the overall attention to little details makes it a pleasure to look at as well.

This is the sort of thing I have always wanted to build, but I do not even have the creativity (or skill or LEGO) to come up with everything included here.

Very imaginative and detailed. Great work!

I really can't believe my eyes! Everything, from the tree tops, down to the river, is well done! I especially love the archery guild building too!
You would rather be building right now.

My favorite is the bridge to the Archery Guild and the boat hulls used in that building. A-MAZE-ING!!

This is beautiful! The build-up to it was worth it by far. There are too many amazing details to compliment any specific ones; as a whole it is a gorgeous example of the beauty that can be achieved with ABS plastic.
