Stunning work, I love it! The rope bridge is perfect with the string and the way it can freely move. The princess looks good too with the red Euro armor. Nice landscaping as well. Great creation and good luck in the contest! :D

Incredible - the landscaping is truly incredible. The bridge is very well done too. It's going to be a real honour to compete against MOCs of this calibre

I really like the landscaping on this creation. The rocky cliffs, the greenery... excellent!

Although it does have a somewhat of a Tropical appearance to me...

That was one of the effects I wanted to create - that it can freely move. I'd wanted to hang it a slight bit out of balance, due to all the movement on it.

lol! And I didn't even use the Palm tree leaves :wink:

I echo the others, great job!

Although, you have to admit that guy hanging off the bridge needs an aligator under him :lol: :lol:

:lol: for as far as I know we didn't have aligators up here in the medieval ages (That would definately make a jungle appearance :lol: ). There is a frog up there though :wink:
I guess swimming with a harness isn't a thing to look forward to either :D

A gorgeous bridge and scene. Love the action and details. The foilage is so much thicker than most people manage.

The Princess Leia hair is perfect for Her Highness, as is her expression and clinging to the rope.

Welcome back!

Yea, what they said :)
This entry was another of the bridge entries that made me ask myself "why am I bulding something for this category?" There's so many good entries in it, and yours is great! I almost put the maiden in my bridge as well, just as a nod to yours, but I don't have Leia hair OR red euro-armor :( Your maiden has brought giggles to people at work that I've shown it to!

I have to chime in to say that I, too, love the greenery there. You actually made LEGO flora look good. Inspiring.

Welcome back!
Thank you! Even though I think I haven't that much foilage... well, maybe that is because I know some people having a huge amount of it :lol:

Making some higher rocky parts at the back helps at that, so that tops of the trees at the back are visible from the front. And like I said before, the LEGO trees are good as a background filler, just to make it more diverse too.

Thank you, but I've seen more people making trees like this. :D

Excellent... excellent....

The bridge is truly a piece of work, but the forest is another matter. How do you conceptualize such a thing? Truly, thats some of the best scenery I've seen in a CCC MOC.

Keep up the good work!
