Tomsche Posted September 5, 2014 Posted September 5, 2014 The second phase of the Store tree, this build dictates to make a Market Stall. Phase one had been a merchant and his cart, and in my case was the small boat, and for this build I decided to incorporate as much elements from that little sloop into his stall itself... meaning basically the table only. The final phase is to be an actual store, and for that, like the Storeroom, I`m planning on incorporating the stall itself as the storefront. But that is still far away music... Ambrosia wanted a nice diamond to go into the ring her grandfather had given her. So when she learned when a diamond merchant, specialising mostly in ice coloured diamonds had set up his stall at the edge of town, she took gramps along. After all, he had the money... Displaying a selection of his finest gem stones (the `mirror` on the table is from a Space `Explorers` set), the merchant also carries a whole lot more of gemstones in his storage chests, including those connection pieces you got in the early days that held the transparant studs. At first I thought to also put a bodyguard or something in it, but in the end went against that idea as it would make it all to military looking, and Mitgardia might be a land of warriors, it is not under Martial Law (at current, the Book 2 Challenge is nearing our borders). For the rest, the build is pretty straightforward for a market stall, because in the middle ages, they consisted usually of a table, a sail, and some supports. Which is basically how markets still look these days, hurrah for slow evolution ;-) Quote
Gunman Posted September 6, 2014 Posted September 6, 2014 Nice idea for the moc man. Well made also. Now to try improve your photography Quote
Alfadas Posted September 6, 2014 Posted September 6, 2014 Iooks nice, but it doesn't really feel Mitgardian. I think the grass is too bright for that. Maybe try some darker greens and/or snow. And mud of course. But the overall design is nice! Quote
Tomsche Posted September 6, 2014 Author Posted September 6, 2014 Thanks all but it doesn't really feel Mitgardian. I think the grass is too bright for that Well, the reason for that is a bit two folded. The first is that I don`t have that much darker greens around anymore as they are in other builds atm (and the light green I have heaps due to the PAB wall) The second is that it actually doesn`t have to be 100% `in` Mitgardia, I did my mill in the desert as a trade relation to my sigfig from Mitgardia Quote
LordDan Posted September 6, 2014 Posted September 6, 2014 Wow, somebody found a good mine. Look at all those gems! I think you should have added a bodyguard to make it more accurate. A seller with goods this valueable would have hired a bodyguard to watch over his stall while he interacted with the customers, to prevevent theivery. This was actually a common practice in some markets during the Middle Ages. Quote
Yzalirk Posted September 6, 2014 Posted September 6, 2014 Nice little build but I'm not a fan of the neon green for the base/grass. Quote
