Capt Wolf Posted August 1, 2017 Posted August 1, 2017 Bardo is known for it annual music festival, and one of the constant reminders of the importance of music in this island town is the statue of the Pied Piper at the center of a small fountain near the center of town. Children and animals seem drawn to the statue. Some say the wind plays an alluring tune when it blows around the statue at just the right direction off the ocean. And local custom has turned the fountain into a wishing well. And it's not just children who throw coins in the well; couples also believe the fountain brings good luck. A view of the full build: ------------ A quick build to add a small art & culture property to Bardo. All C&C welcome. Quote
RocketSeason Posted August 1, 2017 Posted August 1, 2017 Simple yet effective! Great little piece. Quote
Maxim I Posted August 1, 2017 Posted August 1, 2017 Very cool build! I started the one for Elysabethtown yesterday, but got carried away... Quote
Kai NRG Posted August 1, 2017 Posted August 1, 2017 I really like the white forester's hat! Didn't know those came in that color. Nice little build, I like the fact that you included a monkey. Quote
Ayrlego Posted August 2, 2017 Posted August 2, 2017 Nice, I too didn't know they came in white.... do I detect an under-shade of green... could it be painted??? A simple yet effective monument, good job! Quote
Sir Stig Posted August 2, 2017 Posted August 2, 2017 Nice and representative build for portraying the atmosphere on Bardo, the cultural exchange center for the Bards in the Brick Seas. Quote

Every town should have a fountain or statue on the town square, I think. Looking forward to what you come up with for Elysabethtown.

The monkey was a must, of course! As for the hat ... 5 hours ago, Ayrlego said: Nice, I too didn't know they came in white.... do I detect an under-shade of green... could it be painted??? A simple yet effective monument, good job! Thanks. And Ayrlego has revealed my deception. I painted the forester's hat! If I worked in LDD, no one would care, but since I work in real bricks... I had various white hair options, and even some white hat options (although none were very period or subject appropriate), but the forester's hat really made the statue, so I indulged in a small bit of heresy. 50 minutes ago, Sir Stig said: Nice and representative build for portraying the atmosphere on Bardo, the cultural exchange center for the Bards in the Brick Seas. Thanks (and thanks for suggesting a music-themed build). I'm glad I was able to come up with something that fit with the character of the settlement. Quote
SilentWolf Posted August 2, 2017 Posted August 2, 2017 Though this is a simple build, it really has a lot of appeal. The pied piper in all white (marble?) is definitely the best part of this build. The posing is great and makes it seem so real. Quote
Captain Braunsfeld Posted September 9, 2017 Posted September 9, 2017 Oh, I almost missed this. Fine statue - and there's a monkey, so everything about this MOC must be ok. Quote
