kris kelvin Posted January 23, 2010 Posted January 23, 2010 My lastest MOC and first western MOC. Enjoy Brickshelf - with details when public Flickr Quote
Legoist Posted January 23, 2010 Posted January 23, 2010 Excellent Great use of colours, nice details especially those to give a "dirty" or "damaged" look. Could you explain how you built the water tower ? It has a very nice round shape. Quote
Zorro Posted January 23, 2010 Posted January 23, 2010 Pif Paf City, what a funny name! Incredibly detailed and nice MOC, Kris, I especcialy admire the train station, the water tower and the horsedrawn cart. I am a fan of your barracks, and I'm a fan of this work as well . Quote
Wout Posted January 23, 2010 Posted January 23, 2010 @ Zorro: I would call it Pief Paf Poef city . I think it is the sound of shooting. What a terriffic moc. I like the wooden plates on the saloon very much and how they are sloped. Quote
Swash Buckler Posted January 23, 2010 Posted January 23, 2010 Oh my goodness- that's cool - best western dio i've seen - but you should do more interior to those awesome houses... Quote
WesternOutlaw Posted January 23, 2010 Posted January 23, 2010 This is absolutely amazing! Where can I buy one? Honestly, this is one of the best Wild West dioramas that I've seen. I think this is very much deserving of a review/feedback for each of the buildings (especially the train station). Now this is the sort of thing that would make an awesome LEGO exclusive WW set. (goes and puts Wild West hat back on) Truly fantastic! Quote
Inconspicuous Posted January 23, 2010 Posted January 23, 2010 Absolutely stunning MOC kris kelvin! Everything is so detailed and fits together so well. I love some of the wall, bricking, and roof techniques on the Saloon and Hotel. Wonderful work, I hope to see some more Western Dioramas from you in the future. Quote
L-space Posted January 23, 2010 Posted January 23, 2010 Great job. I really like the look of the hotel en the plank structure of the saloon. You just can't wait till noon for the shoot-out. Quote
Dr Kilroy Posted January 23, 2010 Posted January 23, 2010 (edited) Argh, now in Simon's contest I'm with no chances. :) That's supreme, as always! ;) Well, my work is at least more set-ish than yours. Regards, Dr Edited January 23, 2010 by Dr Kilroy Quote
Badsneaker Posted January 23, 2010 Posted January 23, 2010 Jeez this guy is good! Ridiculous talent!! Thanks for sharing! Quote
Dannylonglegs Posted January 23, 2010 Posted January 23, 2010 (edited) This is a fantastic MOC, It should be frontpaged, oops it already is! I love the dark tan! Much better than normal tan. The rail road is incredible, and your techniques are exquisite. I love how you made the saloon walls ~Insectoid Aristocrat Edited January 23, 2010 by dannylonglegs Quote
WhiteFang Posted January 23, 2010 Posted January 23, 2010 Now this is the sort of thing that would make an awesome LEGO exclusive WW set. I fully agreed with what Brickster has just mentioned! This is the kind of MOCs that made Wild West looks real good in complete buildings in this layout, since most of the time, we get not many buildings in official releases. Quote
I Scream Clone Posted January 23, 2010 Posted January 23, 2010 Tis the season for Western! You and I seem to think alike at the moment Kris. I have built two western buildings so far for my town and logged in today to see you beating me to the punch. I had been toying with the idea of a train station and water tower as well, but now it just looks like copying. Your station is beautiful, I love the dark tan tiles accompanying the station. The Saloon and Hotel are nicely done. I have used your wall technique on the saloon before and it is quite a striking effect here, well done. The horse drawn cart is really nice, and I am curious how you built the water tower and made the stickers for the signs, PM me if you wish to share your secrets Great stuff mate Quote
curtisrlee Posted January 23, 2010 Posted January 23, 2010 This it totally AMAZING! I LOVE the water tower so much! Quote
RoryoCox Posted January 23, 2010 Posted January 23, 2010 Really brilliant building designs. The colours are cool and also the carriage is well designed. The rail way building and track are nice. Can't wait to see some of your other MOCs. Quote
lightningtiger Posted January 23, 2010 Posted January 23, 2010 One word .......AWESOME ! 'Kris Kelvin' Lego genius ! The best western and one of the best MOC I have ever seen ! All you need now is a general store and of course the sheriff's office with jail cell ! I'm a conformist! 'Kris Kelvin' ....I'm a conformist! !!!! Quote
BlueBard Posted January 23, 2010 Posted January 23, 2010 I'm not a western lego fan anymore but I must say BRAVO, sir! :thumbup: Funny and clever details everywhere and the design of the buildings is especially impressive Quote
Captain Blackmoor Posted January 23, 2010 Posted January 23, 2010 The topic name sounds like a comedy! But the city itself is absolutely fantastic! Great buildings, great colours and I really like the duels going on everywhere. I can't stop looking at the saloon and the train station, they are my favorites. The watertower is very inspirational. An excellent MOC from an excellent builder! Quote
David Thomsen Posted January 23, 2010 Posted January 23, 2010 I haven't commented on a Western MOC before, but this is amazing. Maybe Lego could hire you to work on some Western modular buildings? I love... everything about this MOC. I don't know what else to say. Quote
Ras 74 Posted January 24, 2010 Posted January 24, 2010 This is so very beautiful kris kelvin I must say as well as others that this might be the very best Western Moc I have ever seen. You have used so many very good techniques in those models. It is just so amazing. It all just looks so real and well built. Also like all the action going on in there. Quote
ANT Posted January 24, 2010 Posted January 24, 2010 This is really great, I have never seen such an impressive Western MOC Quote
Jonas Posted January 24, 2010 Posted January 24, 2010 (edited) Excellent MOC, Kris Kelvin!! Very realistic rendering of a Wild West town and life, a lot of details made with innovative techniques, decent colors.. (It seems to me that you particularly love brown and dark red, don't you?). And, moreover, while some people still keep on complaining on different shades of some colors (like new and old brown and grey), you show that one can combine them freely and benefit from them to get even more realistic creations. Last but not least, you always do good advertisement for your Polish LUG. Edited January 24, 2010 by Jonas Quote
Rick Posted January 24, 2010 Posted January 24, 2010 An absolutely amazing build! The red hotel is my favorite. There's a little too much brown in the saloon for my taste (could do with a good accent color), but I really like the wooden wall technique on that one. The little train station is just... what can I say? Dark tan! Great job Kris! Quote
