The Old Man

Post by Captain BeerBeard »

I love the new heads in the Hobbit sets. I had to make an old man fig.
This is just a little scene to display him. He's gathering goats for his cheese farm.
I hope you all like it. Thanks for viewing.
Comments and criticism appreciated. :)

Woah! Sweet creation. The sloped rocks are a really great technique and the way you made the bush by weaving leaves looks great. Nice job. :)

Thanks, Forestboy. The branches are attached around a Travis brick for the bush.

Oh, ok. It still looks really dynamic, though. :)

Interesting bush design, I'm quite fond of it. Wonderfully done!

I love the layering of the ground. The bush is great too. Well done.

I absolutely love that bush. :wink: And the rest of the build looks great too! :)

I like this small vignette, the base is cool and the bush is awsome. The only thing (and now don't freak out :twitch: ) is that I'm not a fan of this olive green. That technic looks quite good and has a lot of potential, you surely can expand it somehow and maybe even build trees with it :)!

Thanks again, guys!

@Buurli. I honestly don't like the olive color branch, either. I just thought it was a good fit for a mountain path.
