LM71Blackbird Posted January 4, 2019 Posted January 4, 2019 Dockside Roper On a bustling section of the Quinnsville pier is the shop of one of the local ropers. Rope-maker 1 by LM71Blackbird, on Flickr The two men that run the shop are never in need of customers. Rope-maker 2 by LM71Blackbird, on Flickr As fast as one can make the rope, Rope-maker 3 by LM71Blackbird, on Flickr someone comes in and buys it all! Rope-maker 4 by LM71Blackbird, on Flickr I guess that's what you get when you make some of the finest quality rope on all of Cocovia! ------------------------------------------ A few more shots of the build: Spoiler Rope-maker 5 by LM71Blackbird, on Flickr Rope-maker 6 by LM71Blackbird, on Flickr Rope-maker 7 by LM71Blackbird, on Flickr Rope-maker 8 by LM71Blackbird, on Flickr Rope-maker 9 by LM71Blackbird, on Flickr ----------------------------------------- This will be a medium Artisan for Quinnsville. Only a few more builds before Quinnsville will reach Large City Status! As always, C&C are welcome and apprecieated and thanks for looking! Quote
Ayrlego Posted January 4, 2019 Posted January 4, 2019 Nice work with this rope maker Blackbird, it reminds me of one posted in the first year of BoBS by Captain Braunsfeld I think. I really like how the ropemaking process is displayed and the bustling activity around on the outside of the building. I like the texture for you have used for the exterior walls and the colour choices work well here as well. I believe you are working with limited pieces, however if possible I'd recommend some more texture on the stone embankment leading down to the wharfs. All up a nice property for Quinnsville, good job! Quote
Capt Wolf Posted January 4, 2019 Posted January 4, 2019 Nice build! I like the hinged tiles for the window awnings, and the fence+arch design of the windows. Good work with limited pieces. I also like the way you have the roof open to display the interior (and interiors are always a plus!). Period-appropriate as well. Quote
Captain Dee Posted January 4, 2019 Posted January 4, 2019 (edited) Very nice rope-works. (And here I was expecting something in LDD!) Both the exterior and interior look really nice and the rope-twisting equipment is cool. Overall good work. I keep wanting to build a full-length ropewalk, but the dimensions are just impossible for photography. Maybe a cross-section at minifig scale and a full-length microbuild would work better. 36 minutes ago, Ayrlego said: Nice work with this rope maker Blackbird, it reminds me of one posted in the first year of BoBS by Captain Braunsfeld I think. Not sure about @Captain Braunsfeld but kabel definitely built one in Nova Terreli early on. Edited January 4, 2019 by Captain Dee Quote

Captain Dee Posted January 4, 2019 Posted January 4, 2019 @Ayrlego Yes. I was adding the link when you replied! Quote

All up a nice property for Quinnsville, good job! Thank you! I've had this idea for a little bit but didn't really have a vision for it. Then I just started building! Yeah, I wanted to add more details, but those big 6x8 slopes were something I could cover a lot of area with. I'm wanting to get some more pieces and parts, but as you probably know, that requires some extra spending money! 32 minutes ago, Capt Wolf said: Nice build!

The hinged tile awnings were actually a last minute addition to add some more detailing, so I'm glad you like them! 22 minutes ago, Captain Dee said: Very nice rope-works.

I thought about using LDD but couldn't figure out how to make the rope twisting machine without using real bricks. Quote
Bodi Posted January 4, 2019 Posted January 4, 2019 The pier and the buiding both look good, but the best part is the rope making process, and I like the windows too. Quote

Not sure about @Captain Braunsfeld but kabel definitely built one in Nova Terreli early on. It wasn't me. I get impatient with those little rope thingies and knots and stuff. I tend to stick to standard elements Quote
Bart Posted January 5, 2019 Posted January 5, 2019 Well done om both the rope making as the building and the scene. The minifig for the wanted poster is a nice touch. Quote
