So I have had this MOC in the hopper for a while now, but I decided it was time to unleash it as the Nu Breed remix project seemingly never got off the ground.

This is a 'remixed' version of DC's epic "Ye Old Forge" which he made the year he burst on the scene to win the master builder of CCC.

I, of course, added some GoH flair. I figure it will also fit nicely in Albion, so expect a link to Albion as well!

And a comparison to DC's version

*oh2* Wow. Incredible work! :classic:

(I have been thinking about joining GoH, and was wondering if one of the aspects is to improve one's MOC building skills? (I thought I'd ask since you're a GoH leader and a mod :wink:))

I need to build that building.

To add a little more :)... I wasn't aware of the old Olde Forge... but just looking up some pics I prefer your stonework to the 'shall' effect of the round tiles used on the original.... It really makes the render and the wood stand out on that fascia.

Really quite lovely!

Awesome stuff Z! I really love this one :wub:. So many nice details to look at... the chicken compound, the lamps (trans yellow heads FTW) and the trees are also very well done. The only thing that bugs me a little bit is the photography. You really could have made more out of this build, especially with the black roof :wink:.

Really great and detailed moc :0 Stunning! Love the woodwork :)

SORRY FOR GOING WAY OFF TOPIC:

My only complaint is about the "ye" :( I hate seeing that because a lot of people think that they actually said "ye". It has been "the" all the time. When they started printing books, they had no "type" to represent the old letter þ ("thorn"), so they simply used Y to represent it. So they said "the" but spelled it "ye", which has caused misunderstandings in later years. The word "the" comes from the Old English "sē" (the, that). It later became "þē" and in Middle English it had replaced all the former Old English forms (sē = masculine, sēo = feminine, þæt = neuter) that distinguished between grammatical genders.

There is a word that used to be spelled and pronounced "ye" and that comes from the Old English pronoun "gē" (you (plural)). The Old English pronouns were:

ic = I

þū = thou

hē = he

hēo = she

hit = it

wē = we

gē = ye

hīe = they

Snip

It started as a plural subjective form, but around the 13th century, it became used as a singular (equivalent to "thou"), and during the 15th century, became used as an objective singular and plural form, whilst "you" became the dominant subjective form. So it does work fine, just not in the original usage of the word.

Edit: note, Sigolf is correct in his portrayal of its occurrence, but it is accepted as an (uncommon) replacement for "the" in more recent times.

That's a lot of language for something I could have talked you out in in about 2 seconds. It has this title simply to follow DCs original MOC title. On top of that, whether or not I can actually type THE nowadays doesn't mean one can't type "ye" to give it an old time feel. I don't complain when people say "olde" time or "shoppe", I just let their artistic flair do its thing.

Anyway, you are right- it is WAY off topic!

Incredible build! A stunning recreation. I really love the chimney rock-work. Brilliantly done. I may have to borrow that idea, if I ever build anything on my own.

The woodwork is very lifelike, as is the ground definition.

I will definitely look back for inspiration.
