The road underhill [OL]

[blackdeathgr]

The miners at the salt mine in Breshaun, had to transport their valuable cargo down the hill from the extraction point. Due to the lack of a proper road, they carved narrow passages on the rocks and relied heavily on pack mules.

Below we can see Old Jesse and Rosita (a younger mule) doing the heavy work.  Ok, I might have added some extra weight on Old Jesse in comparison to Rosita, but who doesn't love some LEGO animal extravaganza? Obviously it's Old Jesse's soul that does the carrying rather than his body. Anyway, which of the two pack mules do you prefer?

Thanks for watching everybody!

It looks really good now that it's complete, the overhanging leaves add to the image of a sunken track. Perhaps the large crates have lots of padding for the precious cargo, and hence are lighter than they appear?

Great! I really like the way you loaded the horse and the "I wish there was a donkey" Mule ;) 
But I do wonder the rest of that ex-cow lies now:D

That MOC has a great atmosphere to it. I really like how you managed to pack the horses, that's quite inspiring!

Thanks guys! I wanted to build some donkeys pack mules for quite some time and after licensing the salt mine, it was their time. I didn't know if I wanted to tile everything on them to look smoother or just live with the much loved studs, so I kind of built two versions (one larger than life and one more size appropriate one). Also I forgot to mention that the rock-work was a meager attempt on something other than BURPing but however nice it looks, it surely is too part consuming  . Anyway, thanks for commenting and the Oleon members for the guidance on the wip stage.

Very fine, very fine. Could actually add some life to many landbased MOCs.

I like it. You did a good job capturing a mule train moving along a rocky, mountain path. I really like the extra packs on Old Jesse and might have to copy that some day. The landscaping is pretty good as well. There might be some places where you can add some brown or additional rocks along the path, but overall your build does a good job illustrating the subject.
