Posted June 23, 20222 yr Many traveler visit the famous bazaar of the north west, bringing and selling all kinds of goods and animals. Inspired by various Moroccan buildings such as: - Ait ben Haddou / Ait Benhaddou - Kasbah Mosque - Ben Salah Mosque Build for the Summer Joust 2022 African setting category. Update: 2022-07-28: Sunset at the bazaar by Ids de Jong, on Flickr Previous pictures: Lost at the bazaar by Ids de Jong, on Flickr Lost at the bazaar - details 1 by Ids de Jong, on Flickr Lost at the bazaar - details 2 by Ids de Jong, on Flickr Edited July 28, 20222 yr by the Inventor Added new picture.
June 23, 20222 yr This is a very beautiful part of the city! It is very well built and interesting to see the sales stands.
June 23, 20222 yr This looks great. Nice build with a wonderful pop of colour, especially in the tower. Although my favourite bits are the birds adding a little bit of life way above the busy bazaar.
June 23, 20222 yr Nice brick-build storks there. I see you build part of the mosque wall upside down to create this hanging effect of the ornamentation.
June 23, 20222 yr Love it! Great greebling for the road. I'm a sucker for ancient Arabian/Persian settings, it's a shame they never formally made a theme out of it. The best you can get for the helmets is out of the Prince of Persia sets.
June 23, 20222 yr I showed this to my wife and she immediately said Marrakech! I guess it shows how well you've hit the mark!
June 24, 20222 yr Stunning build. The attention to detail from the cobblestones to the top of the minaret is top notch.
June 27, 20222 yr Author @NOD Thanks. @MAB Thanks, really wanted to add some storks to the build as I saw them on some reference pictures I used. @GeoBrick Thanks, Yeah I had to build parts upside down to get the desired effect, which was a bit tricky to figure out, but it looks great now. @Triceron yeah we need some more/new Arabian sets for more specific parts. @hoppa Thank you, I used a lot of reference pictures to get as close as possible for the size I was going for. @Feuer Zug Thanks.
July 1, 20222 yr Beautiful glimpse of oriental architecture. I like the design of the arches and their decorations. The fountain has an amazing water effect!
July 3, 20222 yr Wow. You almost feel like you are there. Especially like the floors and the (classic) palm trees in combination with more modern trees. Excellent.
July 10, 20222 yr This is such a beautiful build! The architecture, the colors, all the details! Simply beautiful
July 12, 20222 yr On 7/10/2022 at 8:01 PM, the Inventor said: hanks, I used many reference pictures to build it. I can imagine that. Was worth it!
July 15, 20222 yr Wow, one of the best system builds I've ever seen! I especially like the archways on the bottom right, they reming me of a modern warfare 3 multiplayer map. The small wooden supports sticking out also add a very special flavor of realism to the build.
July 28, 20222 yr Author Thanks @tiledfloor. @MontyMatte Indeed it was. But after seeing some more entries in the summer joust contest I redid the photo and background editing: Sunset at the bazaar by Ids de Jong, on Flickr
July 29, 20222 yr Wow, how could I've missed that a month ago, I really don't know. Brilliant model and the last picture looks magnificent. Deserves to be on the front page!
July 30, 20222 yr Author @brimbolet yeah you can miss it when a lot of new topics are created or someone replies to a bunch of older topics at once. But thanks for your comment, I also very pleased with how the last picture turned out.
November 21, 20222 yr Author @dignow Thank you. @Vliebricker Also nice to see you here. Thanks for the comment.
