Medieval Home

Post by CAI »

Hi,

After building this, I came to thinking what kind of person could have owned a house like this. Maybe to elaborate for a peasant and not enought for higher classes. Maybe a well to do soldier.

This character would be long retired and now sits out side his home livivng the remainder of his days playing lute and reading, not to bad for a retired soldier in Medieval times.

The stone house is brilliant. I love the way you added so much detail mixing gray, bley and rounded cylindrical pieces. I also like what you did with the tree. Great MOC!

Great stone technique, great tree. Overall, a really high class MOC.

I was expecting a mini-fig scale. Thanks for surprising me! Your fig is awesome. I especially like the beard - that's inspired.

The fig is just plain awesome :)
I love the way you made your stone walls, but I find the roof disappointing compared to the rest.

Nice! The mottled look is very effective, and the little details are really what make this MOC.

I love the way you did the soldier and everything seems to be the right size for him. I am not a big fan of the scale of the overal model. Excellently built though.

I really like the windows and the decorations around the door, but I think that the stonework is a bit too much. I know the more diverse is supposed to be better, but I think it's only up to a certain extent. Nonetheless I still like it a lot.

I would agree. If not a solidier perhaps a "freeman" or retired merchant. Nice MOC.

Beautiful, just beautiful. I love the house, the mixing of the colours and shapes really makes it feel like it was built out of the local stone. The door also catches my eye. The fellow himself is also well built, very clever idea for the beard. All in all, a great creation that catches the eye and keeps it there, lots of stuff to see.

I really like the house, and the way the stone is not perfect makes it seem more realistic. Good job!
