Nedleh point - Trading post

[Olog]

I decided to post some of my more diverse creations in different categories here on EB for those who are curious what themes I prefer, and what my building style is. The MOCs I have chosen might not be the most representative for my style of build, some might be even two years old, and some of my influence has changed since then. Despite the fact that these might not be the freshest of my creations, and some of you might have already seen them, I hope that you all enjoy them and gather inspiration from them.

"Nedleh point was discovered forty years ago. A place of military importance, being situated at the crossroad of two of the largest empires and the Stoneguard. Also dangerously close to some of the feral Orc camps. Nedleh point, due to it's before mentioned situation, has served as a trading post, and has some of the best wares in all the south-western regions.

The rock of Nedleh is a rare phenomenon that can happen only with special types of floating rocks. From rocks that spawn to life, to rocks that float through the clouds, the "Lapis volat banalis" is a species of rock that floats only after all water dries out of it. In this special case, the rock

has been trying to escape, but due to the tide, it never gets to completely dry out, thus creating the elongated shape. The same phenomenon has been found elsewhere, but none are as inhabitable as this. Geologists and mages alike have clarified that there is no

danger of the rock collapsing. "

The small island is an important trading post for adventurers and a tempting victim for the pillaging Orcs. Access to the top is made either by crane, or for some of the empires richest, by flying machines, the outpost being equipped with a dock for them.

Thanks for viewing :) . More pictures in my flickr gallery (click "previous" pic after this one)

I already saw it while browsing your gallery and I have to say that I've been amazed, it's an EXCELLENT moc, 14/10 !!! but... isn't it a little fragile ?

maybe the flying ship I built can dock into it ^^

Awesome stuff, I saw this on Classic-Castle a while ago and was really impressed.

You've got some clever building techniques in there, with a clean style. I love the atmosphere that gives off.

Keep up the great work!

Thank you everyone!

Gus: Surprisingly, the long stretch of cliff is the strongest part of the MOC, while I was sorting it a month ago that was the last part to come apart. It has some technic beams in the middle for good support.

Cmdr. Tac: Thanks! It was quite ironic, the moderators there rejected it after a month, probably because they thought it was stolen.

Thanks, Aliencat, I try to build in most themes.

Wonderful scenario, really!

I like all the little details around like the merchants, the little bridges and the poor guy in the crane with the orcs (BTW, nice underwater effect in the rocks). Bravo!

A very unique and cool looking creation! I'm glad it's more stable than it looks.

I like that you took the time to make the platform circular... it really adds nicely to the whole feel. There's also lots of neat design elements and parts usage. I find the weapon section particularly cool.

Thanks for sharing with us!

Seeing it does make me think of a cartoon series we had in belgium: dragonhunters ore something, they have isles like this too, but they are floating in air.

A very good MOC though.
