MassEditor Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 (edited) Spring is a beautiful season in many parts of Historica. After the bleakness of winter, the lands are again inundated in color and life. Below, Avalonian villagers tend to their budding gardens under the shade of an old oak tree. Spring Tribute A few other shots: Spring back Spring2 Spring3 But spring is not just the herald of flowers and vitality - the changing of the season also marks the traditional start of military campaigns. Below, a swift rider travels through the village gardens on his way to other lands. His haste, as well as the Nocturnian military banner he bore, indicate the importance of his mission. Spring does not bring tidings of peace in all the lands of Historica... rider ----------------------------------------- Hey guys! I whipped up this Spring build just for the occasion (expect for those of you in the southern hemisphere ). It's been a long, bleak winter and the warmer weather has got me building again. Excuse my foray into Avalonia, but I've been in need of greener environments. The reason for that will hopefully soon become clear! Edited March 23, 2016 by MassEditor Quote
Elostirion Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 (edited) Well, yes. Now it IS spring. Spectacular build. Edited March 23, 2016 by Elostirion Quote
peedeejay Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 Some of the best LEGO foliage I've seen. Marvelous! Quote
Graham Gidman Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 As always, your foliage is spot-on! Good to see another build from you, too. Keep 'em coming! Quote
dathil Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 Wow. Just wow! Never seen such a landscaping before Quote
Petric_G Posted March 24, 2016 Posted March 24, 2016 Great one! I'm also look forward to warmer weather! Thanks! Quote
Simon_S Posted March 24, 2016 Posted March 24, 2016 I already admired this on Flickr. The tree looks very nice and the landscaping around it is simply beautiful. The springlike atmosphere you created is fantastic. I also adore how you put foilage in the whole build, but let small spots open so that we can still se all the work you put in the ground. Keep it on! Quote
Jacob Nion Posted March 24, 2016 Posted March 24, 2016 Months of unexcused absence and the first thing you come up with is Avalonian tree hugging?! Serious? Naaa, just kidding. Of course I like it! But I definitely love the fact that you're back! Hopefully just in time to save such peaceful green idylls from the fires of war. Quote
soccerkid6 Posted March 24, 2016 Posted March 24, 2016 :wub: Such a beautiful scene, so inviting and peaceful. The round base looks wonderful, and I love the paths leading through the grasses, and tree atop the hill Inspiring! Quote
LittleJohn Posted March 24, 2016 Posted March 24, 2016 (edited) So glad to see you back to building, ME! The tree is fantastic, I love the combination of green and bright green leaves And the fig posing and dense foliage are superb as well Edited March 24, 2016 by LittleJohn Quote
Kai NRG Posted March 24, 2016 Posted March 24, 2016 As I said on Flickr, this is a really pretty build! I love the inviting greenery, and the flowers add such a beautiful dash of color! The minifigures going about their springtime work (or play) add a great touch and the entire scene looks very inviting! Quote
bricklover Posted March 24, 2016 Posted March 24, 2016 I love the rocks! The foliage is great! Can't wait for more! Quote
TitusV Posted March 24, 2016 Posted March 24, 2016 (edited) That vegetation Edited March 24, 2016 by TitusV Quote
Garmadon Posted March 24, 2016 Posted March 24, 2016 Beautiful build MassEditor, the lush vegetation is all spot-on, and the tree is superb as well! I really love the way you wove that stone wall and the rock-work into the build, and the minifig activity is very real and well done! Glad to have you back! Quote
MaasEffekt Posted March 26, 2016 Posted March 26, 2016 I love MOCs with a lot of vegetation! Beautiful! Quote
Captain Braunsfeld Posted March 26, 2016 Posted March 26, 2016 Lovely, just lovely. A MOC to refer to if one wants to depict nature. Quote
Lord Vladivus Posted March 26, 2016 Posted March 26, 2016 Awesome build, love the foliage- I wonder what tidings the rider takes to Avalonia. Quote
Kayne Posted March 27, 2016 Posted March 27, 2016 Marvelous build.....and glad to see you active again! Quote
Gunman Posted March 27, 2016 Posted March 27, 2016 Welcome back ME :) Amazing folliage... Can't wait for your next builds Quote
Full Plate Posted March 31, 2016 Posted March 31, 2016 Wonderful greenery! Looking forward to spring, but it's still a month or two away here up north Like the shape of the tree, and that you have sections in the greenery. Looking forward to what comes next! Quote
MassEditor Posted April 1, 2016 Author Posted April 1, 2016 (edited) Thanks everyone! Marvelous build.....and glad to see you active again! Thanks Kayne! Same to you! Months of unexcused absence and the first thing you come up with is Avalonian tree hugging?! Serious? Naaa, just kidding. Of course I like it! But I definitely love the fact that you're back! Hopefully just in time to save such peaceful green idylls from the fires of war. Haha, I know, I know! I was half hoping I could block this so only non-Nocturnus folks could see it! Don't worry my friend, I hope to make up for it soon! Edited April 1, 2016 by MassEditor Quote
Gideon Posted April 3, 2016 Posted April 3, 2016 Lovely spring feeling! And great to have you back here in GoH! The amount of foliage is almost what I would expect to have developed well into the summer, but all the light green saves the spring look A bit too early here on Mitgardian latitudes in central Scandinavia, but at least the snow is mostly gone now here as well.
