Hi all,
I've built those MOCs one or two weeks ago, but I took the photos yesterday.

The Ruined Bridge:
1,
2,

The Black Death:

Boah, linking is annoying!

The Black Death is supposed to be entered in "Hedieval Life".
What do you think?

I like the way you've done the arch in the bridge, and that water's nice too.

The black death MOC is well done (even if it is a little morbid), and I like the arch of the bridge and the concept of a ruined bridge itself is great. Though somehow I feel like that MOC is missing something... (don't know what specifically).

God Bless,

Nathan

I like the use of trans-clear bricks as the water surface! its quite a cool idea! Was just thinking trans-blue might be a more suitable colour though

The black death MOC is certainly different

(and a bit morbid i must add), but probably realistic historically

Both of these are great! I like how you did the water surface, and the plague is disgusting and morbid. I love it!!!

Wow that is a lot of transclear! It looks great as the water is fairly shallow so it should be clear. The black death MOC is nice too - you have captured a common scene of medieval life! Well done.

There are a few morbid entries so far arn't there

Your water is very unique. In all my time as an internet LEGO fan, I haven't seen something like that before.

The Black Plague, while morbid, is very accurate. The 'plague' took out 1/3 of Europe including the LEGO!

These look great! I realy like the way you did the water, and the Black Death looks very accurate.

I love the water as well and the black death has an excellent......feeling of death

to it.

I love them both! Very inovative use of the water for ther bridge. I like the green flame you set at an angle to simulate a water plant in the current! Nicely done! For the Black Death I expected a minifig, but the vig is great. I might suggest to put more dour faces on the people. The hasty burial and boarding up seem realistic. Nice entries.

I like the Black Death moc, very Pythonesque. It needs one of those Bird Mask doctors, though.

Great mocs! The bridge is a little plain, but great, and beyond my piece ability.

I like the black death, very grim and morbid. Although I think the dead should be figs until the bottom of the pile which would be the already decayed. It would look more realistic, but more morbid, and some stomachs may not be able to handle that. But keep in mind, it's just plastic.

Thanks for those comments!
The entries should be up now.

Yes, it was time for my first bricklink order.

I love the water in the first one and the pit in the second! And (as C-C regulars can probably predict I'll say) your minifigs include a lot of action and make the scenes much more dynamic.

Oh, and since I haven't been around lately, welcome!

i dont like your approach to water, it looks more like ice than water
