Mine? Mine! Mine.

Sometimes you have to head underground in Tombclone to find the gold. Come see how the locals make their way through these hard times with the hopes of striking it rich one way or another. (All pics are links to Hi Res images :wink: )

They's got our gold!

Strange blind grey frogs and magic mushrooms are the only wildlife in these parts.

You my good sir, Bamboozled me! I was expecting a scene from Valkeryie :tongue:

Just joking! Very nice mine. My two favortite parts of it (even though there are many wonderful things about it) is the waterfall, and that scaffolding. Well I lied, I also really love the mine entreances, the technique there is very clever.

Good job!

AWESOME 'ISC' smegging AWESOME ! :sweet:

The rocky side of the mine itself - EXCELLENT, as too the shaft equipment.

That poor guy with the TNT - oh well hope his medical insurance is paid up ! :devil:

Again you have come through with another awesome design 'ISC' and I'm a conformist! always ! :sweet:

Great work ISC! The variations in the cliff face keep it interesting, and I like all the wooden supports throughout. The minifig action is good and really brings the creation to life.

In a way it looks like both sides of the creation are outdoors, and the mountain has been mined so much that this little chunk of rock is all that's left. I doubt that's what you intended, but it adds to hilarity of the scene imagining it that way. :tongue:

That's a great Western MOC, I Scream Clone! :thumbup:

I really :wub: it!

It shows many interesting and partly even funny scenes and is built very accurately.

Very well done! :thumbup:

Btw: Why did you add a crane to the mine since there is already a lorry train?

Love the lit dynamite and the creepy blind frogs and shrooms! :laugh:

Nice rock technique keeping it slim and vertical - quite different from the more squat mine MOCs we often see :thumbup:

Wonderful creation you've got here!

Just a week ago I broke down and picked up the Temple of Doom set as I wanted to complete my IJ collection - it reminded me how much I love seeing mine mocs.

I really like the detail that you've packed in while keeping everything relatively compact. The captions that you've added are quite humorous as well.

Cheers for all the nice comments guys :thumbup:

At one stage I considered making it an outside build just to give the ground some more colour, however went for the more historical underground approach. I do like the hilarity of the mountain being mined to almost nothing.

I wanted to show off the scaffolding technique i came up with to enable the quick movement of gold up to the higher levels. Also a great way of bringing the carts back to the top of the track.

Awesome mine shaft and I love the mushroom build!

Hey, Mario can't be wrong.

Love the lit dynamite and the creepy blind frogs and shrooms! :laugh:

Exactly, you got my idea perfectly, all the other mines we see tend to be squat, I wanted a vertically designed mine to show off other levels of detail. I was toying with using black cardboard for darkened backgrounds, and may yet try in future.

Wonderful creation you've got here!

I still need to track that set down one day. Glad you enjoyed the wildlife of Tombclone.

Great work, ISC. :thumbup:

I really like the rock surface, with some gold bricks hidden everywhere. The action going on is also very well done.

Are those crossbeams in the wooden tower attached?

Those rail tracks are really well done!

Thanks, I designed the space to fit the carts perfectly, they roll quite nicely along.

Once again a very nice creation ISC! Amazing detail and the cliffwork is very nice.

I like the tiny waterfalls and the gold hidden everywhere in the rocks.

Job well done! :thumbup:

I tried to incorporate some veins of gold to keep the miners keen.

Amazing work!I very like the rails and fountain.Gold in the rocks are also good idea.

The waterfall came together well, i just had to remember to include it on the side as i built upwards on each module.

Great work, ISC. :thumbup:

The crossbeams are a snug fit, and have a bar inside to hold the ends together.

Nice job ISC! Love the crossbeam technique, looks like they are not attached but I assume they're quite snug?

The rock work is superb!

Mark

Cheers Mark, glad you like the rock work. Tried to mix it up including the upside down section, though this came about from loads of slopes and no inverted slopes left :tongue:

This is an awesome MOC! :thumbup:

Good work on the railroad and nice use of the grey frogs.

I also like your mushrooms. The rocks are also great with the upside down part in it.

Good job!

Those grey frogs were crying out for use in a dark environment.

Not SNOT... SIED (Studs in every direction!)

Very cool and inspirational.

...and who doesn't like studs in all directions.

Cheers guys.

Josh.

Great work, I Scream Clone! :thumbup:

I think the guy with the lit dynamite should head for the waterfall to put it out...before it's too late! :oh3:

My favorite parts are the waterfall, mining cart track, big crane, and realistic woodwork.
