Vorkosigan Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 I know when Elves were first leaked many hoped it was a Castle theme, well its still possible to convert the Elves into Castle style! Naida's Spa Secret is the only Elves set I've picked up so far, so I did a conversion and created a bit of a story for the Castle version. Here is the main action feature, there was a map hidden in the waterfall, now there is some ill gotten gold. Here is the story. I call this set The Nobleman's Vices. The nobleman goes to relax in his hidden spa in the forest. He is surprised to see a beautiful maiden in his pool, but is quick to try to spin the situation to his advantage. I'll let you guess what's going on here: To his dismay he finds its a setup! The guardsmen have trapped the nobleman in some shady dealings. But there's more, they find his hidden ledger that reveals he's been embezzling from the King. They also uncover the gold hidden in the waterfall as seen earlier. Off to the dungeons! Quote
Iria Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 Nice reworking of the set and story. The facial expressions of your minifigs are perfect. Good work on capturing a shot of the gold fly out of the waterfall as well. The moral is: never trust a pool maiden alone in the woods (Or a nobleman with a permanently raised eyebrow). Quote
SirBlake Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 Good job! It's great that the mods are so subtle to take it to a really nice set. Now do the tree house! :-) Quote
Balbo Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 Very nice Combining the Elves and the Castle set is a great and interesting idea. Quote
Captain Braunsfeld Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 Fine exercise to modify the set to fit to the castle world! Nice little story too! Quote
Hive Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 I hate to be nitpicking here, but you do notice that the spa has a hot/cold thermostat for the temperature of the water? Not very medieval... Quote
Vorkosigan Posted March 24, 2015 Author Posted March 24, 2015 Good job! It's great that the mods are so subtle to take it to a really nice set. Now do the tree house! :-) Thanks, I've thought about making it a Forestmen set, but I'm not sure if I want to spend $50 on it. It would require replacing a larger percentage of parts. I hate to be nitpicking here, but you do notice that the spa has a hot/cold thermostat for the temperature of the water? Not very medieval... When you turn the hot knob a dragon breathes on the water. It doesn't really make sense with Elves either. Quote
Artifex Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 LOL! This looks really funny! Good MOD by the way. Quote
OmShanti Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 Nice mod. Creative and well thought out, the pictures look great. Quote
