[MOC] 'Stone' Well

[Tycho McKorley]

Very, very cute. I wish TLC would actually make some of these. :-)

There aren't any illegal connections, so it's theoretically possible. I'll try to get an .LXF file up.

Great job! The cheese slopes really make it work well

Pun intended?

Thanks, also.

Nice little well! However, the two headlight bricks supporting the beams look ungainly. I don't think it would be possible to lower them a brick, but would a 1 x 1 Technic brick fit between the two Travis bricks? Turned on its side, it could be used as the beam's support without sticking up above the rest of the well.

I've edited the frontpage post for you.

Thanks SD - I missed that.

Instructions please, because this is just brilliant.

[Jippon]

Wow that is nice, I might just try to build one for my own market village!

Thanks!

Thanks, and it would, but it would get in the way of the 1x1 round brick/bucket that goes down the center.

I forgot that studs can't go into Technic brick holes in LDD, but here's the cutaway shot:

Enjoy!

Note: The 6-wide base was meant to be sunk into an old Belville plate, it's not required. The 1x1 with studs on two sides below the normal structure is not required either, it's there because the friend I was building this for didn't have another backpack with stud piece like used on the front of the well.

Enjoy!

WOW!

I think I'll have to build my own now!

I just cant resist

I like it. Though to be critical, it looks strange to me without a roof area. I have the image of a well with a roof over it to keep out leaves, sun, etc. Don't most wells of this sort have these?

[Ezechielle]

Incredible technic! I would never have thought about it! Well done

[legotrainfan]

I love your well! I think it's little things as your well that can give a castle layout the necessary touch. Your creation should be an impulse set!

Medieval structures were kind of short on innovation, but I'm working on it.
