SlyOwl Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 CCCV standard MOC. Gunpowder is made from: -Saltpetre, from dung -Charcoal, by burning wood without oxygen -Sulphur, from volcanoes Which is then ground, pressurised and tumbled. Wedgie! I used this piece - legal move? Milling and pressurising machines. Radioactivity ahead of its time. Charcoal and gunpowder storage. Accidents (support edited out, sorry for wonky flame), buying sulphur from miners and more dung. Note spades. Quote
Dwarvenlord Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 Wow, thats an impressive MOC. I like the hoisting crane very much, give my more pictures! It just looks great! Quote
brickbitz Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 Another nice MOC full of little details. As it's an official part I guess it's legal. The wheel looks great suspended from the side of the building. Quote
WesternOutlaw Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 SlyOwl: another outstanding MOC! You're very creative and always seem to capture the feel and mood of the scene (although I think you have a thing for sheep ). What I really like about this old mill is the action inside. The expression on the lady's face as the man fires the gun is priceless. I also like the consistent use of the same white bricks between the black tudor-style framing. I also like the spindle/pulley and the second floor. It looks very realistic. My only question is why you didn't put any windows on the side of the building? I think some of the old classic yellow framed black paned windows with green shutters would really look great. Overall, an excellent MOC . I also like the sneaky swordsman in the water (nice touch).

Admiral Blockbeard Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 (edited) your skills have dragged me out of the pirate forum. great work as usual slyowl magic once again love the miss-firing gun and the reactions... the arm and sword coming out of the lake... priceless well worth the trip out of the pirate forum... EDIT: seems TheBrickster and i have similar taste only he types faster Edited June 6, 2008 by Cpt. Pegleg Blockbeard Quote
WhiteFang Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 This is another great MOC by SlyOwl. The expressions on the mini-figs are very good. Love the simple illustration of the accident that messed around with the gun. The whole mill is fit and looks like its in good production status. Everything is on the go! I agreed with Brickster with the sneaky swordman in the pond. Certainly adds some touch in it. Quote
Tacitus Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 Love it! Okay, so I've a question on SNOT technique that's been bugging me for a while. Are the SNOTed sections, like this roof, for example, ever connected, or are they "floating?" Quote
Stash2Sixx Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 Fantastic MOC. Great detail. I would love to see more pictures though!!!! Quote
Athos Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 Too much half-timbering for me. I think a stone first floor would look much better. It looks too much like a Dali-esque chessboard right now. Some windows might help with that though. I love the roof, though I'm not quite sure how its done. Yellow is a nice color for the roof. And the inverted slopes that support the eaves are quite nice.

JimBee Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 very good detail and SNOT techniques... funny where the guy blows a hole in the ground with the shotgun. all in all, very creative, and im looking foward to browsing through some of your old MOCs. Quote
iamded Posted June 7, 2008 Posted June 7, 2008 Another fantastic MOC, SlyOwl! Still haven't figured out how you did that roof. ~Peace Quote
SlyOwl Posted June 7, 2008 Author Posted June 7, 2008 Ye Olde Thanks I also like the sneaky swordsman in the water (nice touch). Clearly King Arthur hasn't spread to America... Okay, so I've a question on SNOT technique that's been bugging me for a while. Are the SNOTed sections, like this roof, for example, ever connected, or are they "floating?" Generally not - in the second picture you can see that it is removed to let in light. Floors are often connected as they don't need to be removed, but it is quite hard to connect from SNOT to SOT... Too much half-timbering for me. I think a stone first floor would look much better. It looks too much like a Dali-esque chessboard right now. Some windows might help with that though. Yup, I do think this suffered from BGWS (as it were), but the trouble with windows is that I like to have the black frames running around it, which means the window must be 2 or 5 studs wide... I'll bear it in mind Still haven't figured out how you did that roof. Nothing fancy, just a zigzag technique... Quote
BlueBard Posted June 7, 2008 Posted June 7, 2008 As usuallly "Mr. SlyOwl's MOC" means AMAZING WORK! Quote
Asuka Posted June 7, 2008 Posted June 7, 2008 The house looks beautiful, and the whole idea´s pretty cool and well done indeed. The interior looks also very fine. Gunpowder, huh? Seems like your characters´ve no needs for magical swords anymore.... Quote
Hinckley Posted June 8, 2008 Posted June 8, 2008 Beautiful and brilliant as always! Wedgie! I used this piece - legal move? And thank you for including this! Not only do I find it hilarious (and wow! that's a painful looking one!) I'm glad to officially not be the only person to give a minifig a wedgie. Welcome to the club! Quote
