Its SNOT Mine

Post by I Scream Clone »

Its SNOT Mine

On a frozen landscape, you can see the new dwarven mine. Outside we see a plucky angler, and a Dwarven shanty, inside we see a myriad of caves (well 3 ok). SNOT as far as the eye can see :sick: (well next stud anyway )
I would like to thank DNL, for his great MOC with all the goblins attacking a mine. I would also like to thank the weather forecasters, Johnson and Johnson, for a light covering of "powder" snow. :thumbup:

Nice job! The SNOT looks great. However, as said, it would be nice to have some deeplinks. Also, I like the skeleton head popping out of the water.

It's very nice, and I've fav'd it as research for a creation of my own.

The snow here looks great, both the SNOT base and the white-slopes on the rock. The interior's nice too. :wink:

I love the MOC the cliff face looks good and the mine interior looks like dwarven skill at work instead of looking like an actual historical gold or silver small mine. The "powder" bits to me just looks like someone was careless with a powdered donut, but to each his own. Nice MOC.

Very nice work. It is a great look to the cliff face. The powder was a clever idea. Nice job!

SNOT has always been one of my favorite Lego acronyms. I wonder what non-Lego fans would think if they read this:
The SNOT looks great.
:lol:
We, of course, know what's really going on, but I wonder....

Anyway, that is a pretty cool MOC. I like your use of SNOT, it adds a lot of... realistic features to the it, and makes it look so much cooler, than if it had studs everywhere and such.

I love it. This really captures a cold winter-time feel. Very needed in these dogs days of August. Anyone else's brick near the melting point?

Oh frick, this is cool! Man, I love when people use SNOT. This MOC makes me feel so inferior. You build very well!

This is a great MOC!! Nice job with the SNOT. I really like the way you did the cliffs and what's inside of 'em ;)

Thanks again for all the great feedback! Im only too happy to share with you guys!

I really love SNOT (pretty obvious i suppose) I just like that you can still achieve a nice smooth finish to the work. I was itching to build something in snow as I dont see it around all that often and in a brutal environment of the dwarven mine it only added to the hostility of nature!

I think in future I will definitely revisit this MOC and expand on the cavernous nature of the Mine (when my collection grows that is)

Once again thanks for all the nice words
Cheers
