SlyOwl Posted December 23, 2007 Posted December 23, 2007 (edited) For the trade and industry category: Cheddar Gorge! The hard-working labourers take the goats' milk, mix it, pour it, boil it and curdle it before seperating, moulding, maturing and then good ol' tasting! Then it's sold to travellers who come from far away to buy these Cheddars, Red Leicesters and Edams. Sorry Wallace, no Wensleydale! Comments, criticisms and all manner of cheesy puns welcome!

Imperial13 Posted December 23, 2007 Posted December 23, 2007 Love the thing with the treasure chests... no cheesy puns here :'-( Quote
Derek Posted December 23, 2007 Posted December 23, 2007 I like how you used the different pieces (beard, wizard hat...) to make it appear that liquid is pouring. *y* Quote
Wout Posted December 23, 2007 Posted December 23, 2007 Wallace: "No Wensleydale?" Very nice moc, I think I take some toast with cheese now also Quote
MagPiesRUs Posted December 23, 2007 Posted December 23, 2007 This is a great MOC, and as in all of your works, great detail *wub* I love all of the unique techniques that have gone into this. The mouse trap, smoking pipe, different liquids, smoke *wub* One thing though, what is the head in the turban with the chicken leg supposed to be? :-D Great job *y* *y* Quote
Batbrick Posted December 23, 2007 Posted December 23, 2007 Another very awesome scene SlyOwl, with some excellent construction and great techniques used *y* My favourite part are the many use of minifig hands, but the goats are a little off. From certain angles they look good but from others they appear like just a pile of binoculars. The use of pithe helmets as smoke confuses me aswell, brickbuilt smoke I find a lot more effective, while the helmets would be better used as stacked up soup bowls in a restaurant. I also think a smaller axe could be held by the man chasing the mouse. That said, the whole scene is very lovely, and evokes a great little mood. Another successful moc! Nothing to Say, but Batbrick Away! >:-) Quote
iamded Posted December 24, 2007 Posted December 24, 2007 Wow! Great techniques used here! The top hat works great for the chimney, bu the pithe helmets, like Batbrcik said, look a tad strange. The goats are very cute, and very cool! The mouse trap made me laugh, and the boiling water (or milk) is great! This is all very cool! *y* *y* ~Peace Quote
Eurobricks Emperor Bonaparte Posted December 24, 2007 Eurobricks Emperor Posted December 24, 2007 Very well done! *wub* When you look at his from a distance you see an very well build MOC. But when when you look at all the details you just fall in love with this MOC. You are a very creative thinker SlyOwl! Quote
Governor Mister Phes Posted December 24, 2007 Governor Posted December 24, 2007 I new there was going to be something cheesy about this MOC as soon as I clicked on the link! Fortunately it's cheesy in a good way and not in a horrible distasteful way. Quote
Doctor Sinister Posted December 24, 2007 Posted December 24, 2007 This is incredible, I love the detail - you've put a lot of hard work into this, I doff my hat to you Sir. Dr. S. Quote
Corvus Posted December 24, 2007 Posted December 24, 2007 That's a great scene! *y* I like the use of wizard parts as liquids. :-P I look forward to more great MOCs, in the hope that your talent does not grow any mold. (<-- Cheesy cheese pun attempt! :-| ) Will Quote
AgentRick Posted December 24, 2007 Posted December 24, 2007 This is a great MOC, and as in all of your works, great detail *wub* I love all of the unique techniques that have gone into this. The mouse trap, smoking pipe, different liquids, smoke *wub* One thing though, what is the head in the turban with the chicken leg supposed to be? :-D Great job *y* *y* The head in the turban appears to be a baby, but I'm not sure what the chicken leg is for. :-/ Quote
TheFrisian Posted December 24, 2007 Posted December 24, 2007 Great MOC with plenty of action and fun details! My favorite detail has to be the mouse trap. It may be small, but it really captures the essence and is a very funny addition to the scene! Also, I spotted some really original usage of parts and techniques, very imaginative! :-D *y* Quote
gylman Posted December 24, 2007 Posted December 24, 2007 Freakin' brilliant. You definitely get the award for most creative use of body parts I've ever seen. Quote
WarnIcarus Posted December 27, 2007 Posted December 27, 2007 (edited) I really like those goats, and the MOC seems to have a lot of realistic features. The smoke is well done, and I like all of your minifig choices. Still, the goats are the best for me. I like their pen and that they are doing something, not just sitting there. All that said, it's not a gorge, sorry mate. Nor does cheddar coem from goats. Minor issues and I think that the name is applicable. Also, is there an interior we could have a look at?

iamded Posted December 28, 2007 Posted December 28, 2007 Does anyone else get the feeling that the roof is made of cheese? X-D ~Peace Quote
Sir Dillon Posted December 28, 2007 Posted December 28, 2007 This is a beautiful creation! Your creative uses for pieces continues to amaze me. 8- Quote
Omega 8 Posted December 28, 2007 Posted December 28, 2007 I love all the detail! The elemnets you used to illustrate liquid were ingenious. Wonderful work! Quote
DNL Posted December 28, 2007 Posted December 28, 2007 nice! it's nice too see how cheese is made in a MOC. great idea! and in case you don't know yet... Too many images - Composite images Composite images are only allowed in very specific circumstances (i.e. showing how some "action feature" works, such as a trap door open and closed). Please replace the composite image with a single photograph. slyowl - cheddar gorge - Sorry, I really appreciate the work you did to pick out all of the details to make the composite images, but we're not letting others do this, so please give us single images. this is a quote from the "Why isn't my CCC entry moderated yet? - updated Dec 26" topic on CC.

SlyOwl Posted December 28, 2007 Author Posted December 28, 2007 All that said, it's not a gorge, sorry mate. Nor does cheddar coem from goats. Minor issues and I think that the name is applicable. My sister thought up the name and there is a gorge thing (the sliff/ledge), so, y'know... ;-) Also, is there an interior we could have a look at? Ye - the stove e.t.c are inside - all the ones you can't see in the photo or that don't appear outside... In case you are unaware, the CCCV doesn't allow composite images, so make sure to fix that before the deadline... this is a quote from the "Why isn't my CCC entry moderated yet? Thanks - I had some extreme trouble late on Christmas Eve trying to get through to the admins - I'm away at the moment (thank goodness my grandparents finally got a computer!) and I'm not a classic-castler, so didn't know this thread existed until I got an email about it today. Thanks anyway. Phew! I thought I was being excluded for being...well...me? SlyOwl Quote

X-D ~Peace :-D No wonder that owl on the tree is eyeing down the roof X-D Once again, Sly'Owl, great work *y* *y* Edited December 29, 2007 by TinyPiesRUs Quote
rupi Posted January 1, 2008 Posted January 1, 2008 This is a great work *wub* the kind of moc I like, not big but packed with great details. One of my favourites for the CCCV. I see competition will be though (your moc is in the the same category as mine ;-) ) Quote
