MOC: Medieval House

[mikey]

I have been building different variations of a half-timbered house for a few months, most of the time was spent restarting the project! Eventually I managed to see it through to completion, and was fairly satisfied with the result. I decided to take some pictures, and was initially quite pleased with them when I viewed them on the camera. Little did I know that when I came to edit them a week later, with the house now disassembled, that I had managed to make my camera take 640x480 size pictures!

So I did the best I could with the pictures, although in hindsight, I will never disassemble anything until I have seen the pictures on a PC! Anyway on to the images (and no worries about slow connections here, they are quick to load!).

Some general views:

I wanted to make an interior and have good access, so the house was modular, with removable roof and 2nd storey:

The 2nd floor contained a bedroom:

With a kitchen area on the ground floor:

No house is complete without a shed, where a man can retreat and do important man things. In this case the important things are connected with testing some chairs, and making sure the ale has not gone sour:

Lastly the only picture that I was really happy with:

A nice creation mikey, well done on incorporating so many nice details into this dwelling. Whilst some pics are blurry, you have still done your creation justice.

That´s a great looking MOC! I really love the interior and all the details you´ve added. This house would look great together with the MMV-set!

[Vindicare]

Very nice, that certainly would look good with the MMV.too bad it's dead though...

[ziljin]

The first few pictures look like they were made in a 3d program lol.

Anyway it looks great. and that last picture with them drinking is a nice touch.

[Bingo Little]

I love the small domestic details like the kitchen!

The outside's really well done too, it's a great attention to detail and the sort of model I'm trying to learn from.

Really nice building mikey.

I like the golden windows a lot, they add a nice bit of color,

the interior looks also nicely done.

But I don't really like the torch by the door it looks way too low by the ground.

nice house!

great interior!

congrats

[Fires-storm]

Well done, the details are quite impressive! The timber effect does well, and you added just enough to it to sell it, without over doing it. Nice work

[mikey]

Thanks for all the positive comments from everyone.

Very nice, that certainly would look good with the MMV.too bad it's dead though...

Yeah, my MMV lasted one evening once completed. I loved building it, then I spent a few hours looking at it, placed the cows in silly positions, then spent the next few evenings sorting the pieces! I get much more enjoyment from trying to build something of my own from those 1601 pieces than keeping them together!

Really nice building mikey.

But I don't really like the torch by the door it looks way too low by the ground.

cheers, I totally agree with the placement of the torch. I knew it was much too low, but I imposed a limit on alterations at a certain stage just to see it through to completion! I get more enjoyment from starting and planning projects than from seeing them through to the end, but I really wanted to to finish something.

[Mrlegoninja]

Yeah, nice build. I really like it.

[Admiral Ron]

Looks great! lots of details! Can you show a pic/diagram of the lantern by the stairs? it looks awesome!

[Vincent Kessels]

That is a really nice house. I like the colors and the greenery outside.

What's for dinner? Fish with cabbage?

[Dan the Brickman]

I want to live in that house!

[KristofBD]

Very nice building! Great details. I think I like the secret male hideout best. Also, seemingly trivial details such as the wheel outside against the wall, give this MOC a very cosy feel. Great job!

Best, K.

[XimenaPaulina]

Very nice MOC mikey! I'm lovin' the overall medieval look of the house. The interiors are great, especially multi-level detachable floors which add a lot of playability for the different parts of the house. Great job!

[SilentMode]

Well done mikey, I wouldn't mind having one of these houses on display.

[Wout]

What a pretty moc.

I like the many details of it, like the wheel and the aleshed.

[DeathMakuta]

Well done! Te thing that really strikes me about this MOC is the way you spend time making even the smallest things right e.g. the bed.

Again, Well Done!

[mattb483]

Very nice house my favorite part is the back part with the 2 guys drinking very well done!

[CommanderFox]

Really nice MOC Mikey!

I like the interrior, especially the kitchen, and the bedroom, the bed is really cool, like the checkered pattern.

Brilliant MOC.

I love how it looks relatively simple on the outside but the interior is awesome. Don't get me wrong, the exterior looks great, simple is a god thing when done classy.

I love the bedroom and kitchen area.

Great job!
