dartmar Posted July 6, 2010 Posted July 6, 2010 Very nice MOC but I remember almost buying the original and I come from Europe. But there used to be a toyshop specialized in LEGO around here where you could buy almost anything that was released. The shop doesn't exist anymore today. These days I regret not buying somethings in my youth like more castle and trains sets. But still a very nice MOC. Quote
XimenaPaulina Posted July 6, 2010 Posted July 6, 2010 I love it! It this were a set I would definitely buy this one. Great great job Jonas! Quote
Mrcool1804 Posted July 6, 2010 Posted July 6, 2010 Great job! Good idea of re-creating an old set in your own way. Quote
Mariann Asanuma Posted July 6, 2010 Posted July 6, 2010 Great job! I love this one even more than the original. I had no idea this wasn't available in Europe. I do have that set, as well as every other Forestmen set, but this is definitely better. I posted about this on my Model Building Secrets blog Quote
Tacitus Posted July 6, 2010 Posted July 6, 2010 I think I like your version much better than the original. Well done! Quote
Jonas Posted July 6, 2010 Author Posted July 6, 2010 Thanks again for your positive reactions. I do hope that my MOC, as well as the newly released minifigs of Robin Hood and Marion, will encourage more builders to come with other additions to the wonderful world of the Forest people. Quote
Brig. Brick Posted July 7, 2010 Posted July 7, 2010 this is easily a great tribute to a very good set very good use of colors, and a supreme improvement to the baseplate Quote
-obelix- Posted July 7, 2010 Posted July 7, 2010 Such a nice MOC and great homage to the original set. Superbly done! Quote
Legorski Posted July 7, 2010 Posted July 7, 2010 Great job on the remake, I love it! Makes me wanna by the actual set, or try to make a remake myself! Legorski, Quote
Blackicep8ntball Posted July 7, 2010 Posted July 7, 2010 I really like your work on the creek and the little spring on the edge. I haven't seen the rounded parts used quite like you did for the shorline, and it gives a wonderful "flowy" effect to the water. Man, I miss the Forestmen. Quote
tchuk-norst Posted July 8, 2010 Posted July 8, 2010 When I first saw this I scoffed and said so what? I thought he had just found the real set. On closer examination I was thrilled to see how well it was renovated! Quote
Mr. Elijah Timms Posted July 8, 2010 Posted July 8, 2010 Epic. TLG simply needs to re-introduce the forestmen subtheme. NOW!! Can you hear me, people of Billund????!!! Quote
ZO6 Posted July 9, 2010 Posted July 9, 2010 Lovely! Absolutely lovely! Your re-imagining of this classic set is a real feast for the eyes. There are so many wonderful details to take in, I could look at your creation for ages and keep spotting new things. How I wish TLC would do a theme similar to that of the Forestmen once again. The designs were all very unique and flawlessly managed to create an organic look and feel. I am always amazed at the prices that these sets fetch on Bricklink, I think it is a testament to how well loved the theme was. Thanks again for showing your creation! Quote
SirWacky Posted July 10, 2010 Posted July 10, 2010 WOW You just took a great set and made it even better! This is a lovely MOC! Keep up the great work and thanks for showing us! Quote
