I love all the detail and the irregular base.

Search a wonderful MOC. Congratulations, this is a work of art. I am not sure what to say to describe how amazing this build really is. Some of you are very good at creating an amazing play thing, which can also be a fantasy picture taken out of a work of fiction. Beautiful landscaping combined with architecture I have no idea how to recreate. Just, well done. I love seeing these sort of epic builds and there are many more I need to start commenting on throughout the forum, however, I must say these builds are absolutely daunting for someone rebuilding a collection from nothing. Even if I develop some semblance of a collection in the coming months, I have no idea how to build like this. I'm not sure I could ever build anything as nice as some of you artists. I hope my future MOCs are not laughable, but in the meantime i'm very proud of the amazing work this site produces. Great job Cesbrick, so awesome...

Thank you for your words.
Well I just very recently came out of my dark ages and when I decided to start my collection, I had a very good idea what kind of builds I would like to do, so I bought my sets and made my bricking orders accordingly. Then it was a matter of experimenting with various technics and get inspired by some of the great builders. Yes, you got to have somesome skill, but effort and building a lot is paramount.

I bought 1 tower bridge, 1 opera Sidney house, 1 haunted house, a few small sets from castle line but my main income was bricklink. Made more then 10 orders and bought a lot of browns and tans and greys :)

Oh and I also bought a lot of foulliage and acessories.:)

This is an excellent piece of work! The SNOT-work is very well done and I really like the sort of patched up and irregular feel you get from it all. The landscaping also looks good, especially the trees.

What a splendid build.

For me the most brillant and innovative detail is the use of the worn lions-crusaders torso as a scarecrow ; I have also some old worn lions-crusaders torso's from my childhood but was never able to use them properly in their actual worn status ; you did perfectly.

Congrats.

Truly amazing work.
I love how you achived leaned look of straight walls wit only by a fraction leaned tiles.
Color selection is great too. And use of old trosos is nice touch with all new bricks.
