Kolonialbeamter Posted March 16, 2017 Posted March 16, 2017 Ahoy there, fellow BoBS'ers. Nothing much today, just another little scene along the river a bit upstream of Lavalette. Up And Down The River While barrels full of peppercorn are floating downstream towards Lavalette - okay, sometimes they get stuck - the other direction is not less frequented. Here you can see a dedicated crew transporting a waterwheel to the side of a sawmill currently under construction a bit further upstream. As hard a task that might be - fortunately, there are always people who seem to have an even nastier job - apparently good enough an opportunity to make fun of those poor souls... There isn't really anything more to describe here About: Nothing much to tell here either... As usual, all can be built... and also as usual, placing those minifigs was the most annoying part. Thanks for watching, C&C welcome! Vive le Roi! Quote
Garmadon Posted March 16, 2017 Posted March 16, 2017 Very nice build, KB, and that waterwheel is definitely the stand-out piece of it! All those spokes look great, and a good idea using the ship's wheel in the middle of it too! The time spent posing the figs was well worth it as well, and I particularly like the (poor ) fellows pushing the raft upstream. Excellent job on that little boat also! Quote
Captain Braunsfeld Posted March 16, 2017 Posted March 16, 2017 Thanks for this peaceful MOC in these dark times. I hope that the monkey will get the banana. Quote
Brandon Stark Posted March 18, 2017 Posted March 18, 2017 I like what you did with the water, portraying the bottom of the river. The jungle is also a nice part of the build, especially with all those nice palm trees. My favorite part with probably be the waterwheel though. Quote
Elostirion Posted March 19, 2017 Posted March 19, 2017 The vegetation at the riverbank is impressive, so dense, so real, so cool! Quote
Ayrlego Posted March 19, 2017 Posted March 19, 2017 Great scene KB - the water wheel looks great and I imagine will look even better on the potential future sawmill! What makes the scene for me is the inclusion of the under water part - something I think I will be trying out myself soon. Quote
Captain Dee Posted April 24, 2017 Posted April 24, 2017 Neat scene. You always do really good vegetation but the waterwheel is my favorite part here. I've seen ships' wheels used in the center before, but the rest of that design is unique among Lego waterwheels that I'm familiar with. I think it's a really nice design, and it would be cool to see it in real bricks. And the delivery of the wheel per the story is pretty good too. Quote
blackdeathgr Posted April 25, 2017 Posted April 25, 2017 C'mon! Did I had a blind week or something? I keep missing masterpieces!!! Thanks Dee for bringing it up again! KB, great depicting everyday minifig "chores"!!! You can't build a large city just by laying on the beach though Quote
Bregir Posted April 26, 2017 Posted April 26, 2017 I too appear to have missed this. Great looking scene, KB, and I really like how you reference former builds to tie it all nicely together. Raft and boat are both nice, and that waterwheel is massive! :O One wonders if we will ever see that as a part of a finished watermill? (Pweeeeeaaaaase! @_@) The jungle is nice too, as is the inclusion of the riverbed. Good work all around! Lavalette is progressing nicely! Still hoping the order of the faith will present more of an opposition to the RNTC than they have done so far, though ! ;) Quote
Bodi Posted April 27, 2017 Posted April 27, 2017 A very detailed and sopisticated build, nice job! The waterwheel is enormous! Minifigs look really mini next to it. Is that M. Thibault the bare chest dude in the water? Quote
Jacob Nion Posted May 13, 2017 Posted May 13, 2017 Very creative! But I wonder if it wouldn't have been easier to assemble the wheel locally. If I'll ever build a mill, I will try my hands on a similar exemplar. Very elaborated. Quote
