[ESL-FB] New Settlers Bring Growth to Interlagos

[Capt Wolf]

With the establishment of a brick kiln and a lumber mill in the Eslandolan settlement of Interlagos, settlers have been able to build houses, and the growing population has made Interlagos a proper town.

 

The core of residences has started to give the town a feeling of something more than a military outpost.

 

With the incoming settlers have come chickens and goats.

 

Here Mrs. Boer prepares to get some milk.

 

And her husband shoos the chickens away from the cellar door.

 

Next door, Mr. Cazador heads out to take his son hunting. Small game animals are plentiful in the light woods around the lakes.

 

The streets are still nothing but worn paths with some loose stone scattered about. A sailor and a merchant walk by the new residences on their way down to the dock.

 

Interlagos has already come a good distance from its beginning as a frontier fort. As more settlers come to the town, Eslandian officials hope it becomes a thriving port.

This MOC started as way to experiment with the roof on the tan building and grew from there. I'm trying to capture the early growth of a small settlement in these builds. All C&C welcome.

Great scene! I like the little details like the ground landscaping, smoke from the chimney, door pull, etc. Nice contrast between the two buildings

My first thought when I saw this was ooh, that's a really neat roof!  I quite like how those three colors and the mix of cheese and tiles works together.  The cellar door is also a really nice detail!

Nice diorama with lots of details. The 2 houses next to each other look good. I like the selection and position of the minifigures.

I really like this! It's great to see the classic windows and shutters being used on modern MOCs. Is there a word for that roofline on the red building? Or a particular inspiration for it?

Agreed! I tried to do something similar in that Horse Farm build in Elisabethville, but didn't have enough reddish brown / dark brown cheese slopes to pull it off. @Capt Wolf's is the real deal!

Gorgeous build! I love its simple and straightforward look. It suits the purpose of commoners' housing. Great choice of colors all-around, too and that roof is just perfect.

Love your style man!

Thanks to everyone for all the comments! Much appreciated.

Thanks. I wanted to make sure I put the effort into the details on this build.

Thanks. I was really happy with how that medium nougat color worked. I'm using so many browns and tans in the build that I had to work for some way to distinguish things. And I had done an earlier roof with just cheese slopes and thought it was a bit too much, too uniform; I'm happy with how the added tiles worked. And thanks for commenting on the cellar door; I may work that into some future builds as well.

Thanks. I spent some time with the figure posing. Always glad to know it's worth it.

Thanks. Given that I went with brick-built doors, I probably should have done the same with the shutters, but I like those classic pieces, too!   As for the red building, it's got some Dutch inspiration behind it. Not sure there's a name for it.

Thank you very much! Sometimes simple is boring, but I'm trying to show the town's humble beginnings. And the color palette I'm using is a bit challenging, so I'm glad you like it, and the roof!
