ranghaal Posted January 2, 2019 Posted January 2, 2019 (edited) Hi, these are the builds I did in the last 4 weeks for the CCC. It was a really hard time as I'm a slow builder and I couldn't use the two month period. Lurker by Ralf Langer, auf Flickr In the last few weeks I've seen several bent interiors so it's not that spectacular anymore. The lower wall with the rhombs is really tricky and has many layers of construction beneath it. The ground looks complicated but is in fact quite easy and can be done in a short time. I think it has quite a unique look and captures the medival feeling. It might not really be consistent in architectural style as I didn't check this time. It's just fantasy. Traveling Salesman Problem by Ralf Langer, auf Flickr After doing the colourful dragon moc I wanted something more gloomy. I'm going to do another version of it to capture the initial intention: Death of a traveling salesman. This one looks much better as a modell that as a photo. It has a really nice road, that is hidden here by the cart and the wares. The bricks in the house are stable! Flood by Ralf Langer, auf Flickr I really like the coast here! Just studs but it I think it looks great! Covering up the coast with tiles, slopes and cheese parts would have worsened the shape of the coast I guess. Leonardo by Ralf Langer, auf Flickr These are all inventions/researches Leonardo has really made! Check them out :-) May favorite ones are the bike and the spine! The spine features some use of hands you might not have seen before. I would have liked to do an alternative version, showing Leonardo in a room with all the gadgets and some books. But that might be almost impossible on 8x8. Giant by Ralf Langer, auf Flickr Looks a little crowded. Not that easy doing so much stuff on 8x8. Well, I should have left out the tower, but leaving out stuff that I like is very hard for me... I used printed minecraft 1x1 plates as windows so I had to use white. Time to reflect by Ralf Langer, auf Flickr I'm really proud of this one. It looks like a painting. The clou here was the "reflection" part - which was the reason why I build this. I added some impressionistic looking reflections in the water. The building on the right side is indeed a homage to the first moc I've ever done :-) Technically it's got some use of the new triangle tile for the church roof and the houses. Another brick in the brick wall by Ralf Langer, auf Flickr The aim was to have a huge monochrome block with a gap full of colour. Well, as it got so large and grey I got weak and added a tree. I also made an excerpt which looks better - but on the other hand I really like the tree :-) I had to attach the tree to the wall to make it stand. Inside the tree are hoses so it's stable. I developed this wall technique in my earthquake moc (even more complex there) but as the earthquake moc is so full of textures it's hard to see. The buildings have some nice tricky techniques.

kjm161 Posted January 3, 2019 Posted January 3, 2019 Wow! Great MOCs. The reflection in the water really does look like a reflection of the buildings and adds to the realism in "Time to reflect". The addition of the tree makes the composition of the last picture so much more interesting and makes you want to see what lies beyond the wall. The colour variation in the wave of "The Flood" is beautiful and you really captured a sense of impending doom. Congrats! Quote
rodiziorobs Posted January 7, 2019 Posted January 7, 2019 Half the pictures don't show up for me. The killer wave is my favorite, though. The effect is really impressive, the lighthouse is so good with so few parts, and the color of the water is gorgeous. Those poor people. The reflection one is brilliantly composed, the shape of the village and the buildings with the overlooking church. Nice use of the new parts as well. Quote
Robin_IV Posted January 7, 2019 Posted January 7, 2019 I saw your flickr ranghaal. Your are a very talented guy. I will use some ideas from you for the future :P Did you build the tower on the famous "The Wood Tryptichon" Picture? Quote

Witold Posted May 5, 2019 Posted May 5, 2019 This is truly amazing! Your building methods and ideas are awesome. How did you make a Leonardo's robe/clothes? Quote
