odidoma Posted May 17, 2014 Posted May 17, 2014 (edited) One of many outposts in Hauta The region of Hauta Have a very suspicious population and they are watching there borders really close, this is not a rare view in the woods of Hauta. The army of Hauta always try to be one step ahead of everybody else. It's a common saying that "if you don't see some guards in red and grey, you haven't cross the border yet", if it's true or not we left for the people to decide. Anyway here are some guards in one of many "border stations", securing the safety of Avalonia, mostly it's a boring job and for the most of the time it's al about sleep, eat and steer in to the forest but some days something happens for real, but that's not today. The outpost. You never now when something happens, watch everything. Give the horses food and water, the same for you. Make the time fly, before you now it, you are back in town.

Simon_S Posted May 17, 2014 Posted May 17, 2014 That tree looks great with all the dark orange and red leaves. Also, the irregular base with all the angled plates and the rockwork are very nice . How long are you already MOCing? About the pictures: They are nicely in focus, but the light could be much better. You could for example try to take them outside on a cloudy day instead of using a lamp. Quote
krono111 Posted May 17, 2014 Posted May 17, 2014 (edited) Great irregular base and figs. (I have to try out the irregular base soon) That tower looks very nice and the tree too! I'm also interested in the question from Buurli (aka Simon_S). About the pictures: You may should look at this tutorial: http://sariel.pl/201...ssing-tutorial/ The tutorial is about lighting and clearing up the background (with a free programm) Everything is easy explained. (The English is not that hard to understand also for not native English speakers, like me) Edited May 17, 2014 by krono111 Quote
TheUtilityBelt Posted May 17, 2014 Posted May 17, 2014 I like your story of the region. Are they worried about the drow? Quote
-Carson Haupt- Posted May 17, 2014 Posted May 17, 2014 Nice! I like the wooden tower. Where do they sleep? Quote
HammerBro Posted May 17, 2014 Posted May 17, 2014 Love the irregular base and the leaf colors are great! Quote
MassEditor Posted May 18, 2014 Posted May 18, 2014 Sweet build, you got a lot of detail here and some pretty landscaping, especially that tree. Some great photography too. I really like the design you used for the tower guardrail, very elegant. Great work! Quote
de Gothia Posted May 18, 2014 Posted May 18, 2014 Great to see your first moc for GoH! I really like the lightning and feeling on the first shot! The tower looks great as well as the base! The fact that the tower is so light and made of wood makes it feels like Hauta have many of these! Do Hauta have a meaning or did you came up with the name by yourself? =) The lightning in the other pics could however be a little better... Quote
Wat Tambor Posted May 18, 2014 Posted May 18, 2014 This creation looks very good! I really like the tree because of the beautiful reddish autumn colors. The minifigs are also quite nice, great combos you have used there! Quote
Gabe Posted May 19, 2014 Posted May 19, 2014 Really nice moc odidoma! The irregular base looks very natural, the tree has good height and the orange and red foliage looks a treat! The small wooden outpost is solidly built too. If i have a small criticism , it is that the front right of the base seems very bare - a small amount of landscaping or even a little path would do wonders to bring life to that area, or possibly you could have cut out that part of the base altogether. Anyway, great work, i look forward to seeing your future mocs! Quote
Thomas of Tortuga Posted May 19, 2014 Posted May 19, 2014 Really nice work! The tree looks great with all those leaves, and the rocks are also nice. I agree about the bare patch in front, but overall, this looks tremendous Quote
odidoma Posted May 19, 2014 Author Posted May 19, 2014 Thanks for all the feedback, i really appreciate it! When it comes to lightning and fix the pictures before uploading it, de Gothia have learned me a lot but sometimes i´m so stressed so i skip it, i will improve over time, i hope. I have been building Moc´s for maybe two-three years and i have posted some builds in the "Historic forum" before but never in the Goh-forum. I really like the Goh structure and it have given me new energy to build, thanks! Quote
soccerkid6 Posted May 20, 2014 Posted May 20, 2014 Excellent irregular base and tree too The wooden watchtower looks very good, the 1x1 plate rounds at the top level give a neat texture Quote
Gideon Posted May 20, 2014 Posted May 20, 2014 Very nice base and tree, I really like that color mix A clever detail with the lidless chest for the horse as well, never thought of that! I agree with Gabe however that the ground could have used some more detailing and with the comments that the photography has some room for improvement. I've actually almost stopped editing out the background, with a smooth background (I use white/gray Ikea roller curtains) and good lighting it's not really needed and saves a ton of time Quote
