WesternOutlaw Posted February 14, 2009 Posted February 14, 2009 This 2nd creation of the Grave Stone series was intended to elaborate on the story of the Haunted Mill, and serve as an accessory. The inspiration behind this little hay wagon was a large wagon that was part of a ceramic Christmas Village, thus the use of green used for the MOC. I never really liked this wagon as it was a bit boxy and didn't really capture the rickety wooden look I was trying to create, but it does go hand-in-hand with the Haunted Mill. The Story: Riding along the dark and unpaved road to Grave Stone is the Ghostly Hay Wagon. You may catch a ride with old Jeb Snotworth as he whips his black steed without mercy. He's on his way to Sutter's Mill with a special cargo of hay. Oops, was that a head that just rolled out. It is! Set includes horse, wagon, Jeb Snotworth minifig, and scythe. Quote
MacK Posted February 14, 2009 Posted February 14, 2009 (edited) Well you certainly have skill when it comes to photo editing and background stories. As for the wagon it's not that bad, but I agree that it would look better if it was more rickety looking. I think using some brown or black plates with headlight bricks on the sides could improve it a bit . Edited February 14, 2009 by MacK Quote
Captain Blackmoor Posted February 14, 2009 Posted February 14, 2009 I agree with the above about your superior photo editing skills! The hay wagon has a nice story behind it and I like the haywagon itself too. There are some nice things on this creation which makes this very spooky, the scytche and the skull... Another nice creation from a nice Lego builder! Quote
Batbrick Posted February 14, 2009 Posted February 14, 2009 How do you manage to make such simple things as moving hay so creepy TheBrickster? I guess it's just your natural talent I really like the green in this one, it's not something I expected, but I find it really works. Snotworth (awesome name by the way) is certainly a despisable character already, whipping his horse and using the wagon to transport his victim to a more hidden place (I presume anyway). How is everyone in Gravestone not dead yet anyway? Great little moc TheBrickster, I hope you go on to make more eventually, I'm a big fan if gravestone. Batbrick Away! Quote
Klaus-Dieter Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 Again a totally awesome MOC, TheBrickster! I really it! The carriage is very well designed! I really like little sets/MOCs like this, too! Very, very well done! Klaus-Dieter Quote
Lego12 Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 That's a spooky little MOC. Nice MOC, but it feels a little empty to me. Anyways good job! Quote
