NiceMarmot Posted October 7, 2014 Posted October 7, 2014 (edited) As Gex rode away from South Sandstuck, his mind wandered, and he recalled the long ago day he met his wife, who at the time had been about the same age as Lady Sharitah was now. He had been traveling through the thickest part of the Wither Woods, very close to the Avalonian border, when he stumbled into a shady glade in the trees, in front of a crumbling old wall, and by a babbling brook stood the most captivating woman he'd ever seen. It was like a scene in a beautiful song. He was instantly in love. This MOC actually is a scene from a song. I was inspired to build this today after hearing a favorite old song on the radio, which I cranked up to 11! Can anyone guess the song? The babbling brook: More pictures: I'd like to get UoP credits for: flowing water walls tree design #2 maybe landscaping / foliage? (is it big enough?) Edited October 7, 2014 by NiceMarmot Quote
cablefoxley Posted October 7, 2014 Posted October 7, 2014 Love the first photo with it focusing just on her. The babbling brook is also good, as well is the foliage. No idea of the song though. Quote
robuko Posted October 8, 2014 Posted October 8, 2014 Gnarly wall NM, love it. Very nice bucolic scene, UoP+1 all claims. The song is "I used to love her" by guns 'n' roses Quote
NiceMarmot Posted October 8, 2014 Author Posted October 8, 2014 The song is "I used to love her" by guns 'n' roses Nope. I should direct your attention away from the love theme, although not away from the woman, and more towards the details of the scene. Gex and his relationship to the woman are not part of the song.

Hammerhand Posted October 8, 2014 Posted October 8, 2014 NIce build, it looks like you used FP here in that first picture, and it looks cool. I like that tree too. Oh, and I'm guessing the song is "Hotel California". Ok, JK. Is it a U2 song?... Quote
janatale Posted October 8, 2014 Posted October 8, 2014 Nice little scene! I really like the tree and the flowing water looks great. No idea on the song though. Quote
Sir Gareth Posted October 8, 2014 Posted October 8, 2014 (edited) Great little build! The tree and water look rather nice. The song is totally Everything is Awesome Edited October 8, 2014 by Sir Gareth Quote
Commissioner Gordon Posted October 8, 2014 Posted October 8, 2014 great little moc! WHAT IS THE SONG??? Quote
HammerBro Posted October 8, 2014 Posted October 8, 2014 Nice job getting so much detail in such a small space! Stumped on the song, though I support Everything Is Awesome. Quote
TheRedViper Posted October 8, 2014 Posted October 8, 2014 Really nice build, with lots of detail, I really like the babbling brook, and the tree. As to the song... No idea! Quote
NiceMarmot Posted October 8, 2014 Author Posted October 8, 2014 (edited) Well, Gex may be showing how old he is... I'll drop a few hints: the key points are that the MOC has a wall with a sign, and a brook with a tree next to it, and a parrot songbird. Edited October 8, 2014 by NiceMarmot Quote
NiceMarmot Posted October 8, 2014 Author Posted October 8, 2014 Winner, winner, chicken dinner! Here's the verse: There's a sign on the wall but she wants to be sure 'Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings. In a tree by the brook, there's a songbird who sings, Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven. There's probably four or five MOCs worth of material in that song. Quote
Bregir Posted October 8, 2014 Posted October 8, 2014 What a great many details in such a little build! Great work there About the song - Lucky me! I got here after the chance of humiliating myself had passed! Quote
Lord Vladivus Posted October 8, 2014 Posted October 8, 2014 That is a great song! The Zep are great! Brilliant MOC too! Quote
Kai NRG Posted October 8, 2014 Posted October 8, 2014 Neat little vig NM, especially the tree, but the brook is great as well! +1 for the UoP credits! Quote
de Gothia Posted October 8, 2014 Posted October 8, 2014 Love it! That tree is so great!! The presentation is top notch as well! Quote
Scaevola Posted October 8, 2014 Posted October 8, 2014 Very nice vignette, the forced perspective is very good, and it's nice to see some innovation the the flowing water and tree. +1 UoP DoH for all claims Quote
Kayne Posted October 13, 2014 Posted October 13, 2014 Nice job NM, great to have you back to building. +1 to the UoP's Quote
soccerkid6 Posted October 16, 2014 Posted October 16, 2014 Gorgeous lush landscape The crumbling wall looks great and I like the tree I've really been enjoying all the builds you've been pumping out lately Quote
