Some Autumn Mocs

Post by Bishons »

More for the Mega Medieval Moc Mania! Three beautiful autumn scenes my brother made! He says "please comment, I want to know how to made mine better". Here's a link to the first ones photos: It's called "A Path To The River"

The second one is for the Vignette category It's called "The trickling waterfall" My brother didn't know what to call it. Here's the link:

And finally "A Peaceful Autumn Day At The Creek". This one is a funny shape 13x14 but I think it's still cool. Here's the link :) :

Path to the river: I would repost with the images the right way, whatever you need to do to make it happen. The MOC itself is very nice. I'd use a black 1x1 cone for the base since the tube is black and the top of the tree just ends - this is hard to account for since there are not small leaf elements in this color, so I would crop the picture to exclude this. I'd also leave out the lowest few leaf elements and add a black minifig hand or two to the trunk as little branches.

Waterfall Vignettes: these are terrific - the blocky use of the plates and tiles works very well to convey the turbulent waterfall. I like the colors of the dark green and regular green one better - but that is just personal preference. The rockwork on both seems to be just right.

A Peaceful Autumn Day At The Creek: a simple but good MOC. The water again is terrific. The bridge is nice - though one side's walls are slightly different than the other - not bad, but noticeable. The trunks of the trees seem too thick for their size. I'd concentrate the leaf elements a bit higher in the tree and closer together. The base is ok, but I'd consider a black border around the whole thing (with a tile on top) - possibly cutting down to the water level in the stream.

A path to the river: Well, Google sites won't let me rotate them, so I don't have a choice. And as I said in my last post, I and my brother and I don't have many parts. The pneumatic pipe happened to come in a small technics set.
Waterfall Vignettes: Yeah, the green one does look better but my brother had just got an order with lots of lime plates so he was eager to test them out!
A peaceful autumn day at the creek: Thanks for the suggestions! My brother said he tried to put black tiles around it, but he didn't have enough.
