SheepEater Posted July 20, 2012 Posted July 20, 2012 I really want that little boat now. From what set does it come from? Quote
Captain Settle Posted July 20, 2012 Posted July 20, 2012 I really want that little boat now. From what set does it come from? It's just a normal rowboat that you can get in a lot of pirate set's. Quote
SheepEater Posted July 20, 2012 Posted July 20, 2012 It's just a normal rowboat that you can get in a lot of pirate set's. Heh, no wonder I don't have it. I never owned any pirate sets. Quote
Jesperallen Posted July 20, 2012 Posted July 20, 2012 That water effect really is fantastic. Well done! Quote
Lightning Dragon Posted July 21, 2012 Posted July 21, 2012 (edited) As a few people have said, the water combined with the surface of the water is an amazing detail and adds a lot of awesomeness to the MOC. Also, the faces and expressions on the figs are exactly right for this scene :thumbup: Excellent MOC, I hope you create more LotR ones soon Also, the fish are a nice detail, and so is the seabed!

The_Chosen_1 Posted July 21, 2012 Author Posted July 21, 2012 Thanks again for all the kind comments, everyone! I can't take total credit for it, my little brother helped me out on the concept and the build itself. It turns out he wanted to enter it into the LotR building contest from the newest Lego magazine, so I went ahead and put it up there for him: Frodo to the Rescue I hope you create more LotR ones soon I hope to soon! I also think it would be fun to have a Eurobricks LotR vignette build-off. I'd be excited to see what other scenes you guys come up with. Quote
evan.evan.evan Posted July 21, 2012 Posted July 21, 2012 Wow! This is really cool! The idea for the water is simple, yet fantastic. Quote
Jimbobulus Posted July 21, 2012 Posted July 21, 2012 Love this, really stylish little MOC, good job! Quote

You already have 50 thumbs up. And some other people tried to copy your idea... Quote
Rocketbilly Posted July 22, 2012 Posted July 22, 2012 This is lovely and very very good. I really like the way you've made the water, it's very eye catching and I like how you can almost make out real bubbles in it and it has a real sense of depth. One thing I would consider though would maybe be to use some sort of hinged piece to allow the boat to rest at a slightly steeper angle...but that's nitpicking and it's certainly great as-is. Nice work! Quote
The_Chosen_1 Posted July 23, 2012 Author Posted July 23, 2012 One thing I would consider though would maybe be to use some sort of hinged piece to allow the boat to rest at a slightly steeper angle. That would make the boat tip slightly more toward the camera, correct? Good suggestion! Quote
friedchikenfairy Posted July 27, 2012 Posted July 27, 2012 I LOVE the way you made the water. How much studs did you use? Quote
The_Chosen_1 Posted July 28, 2012 Author Posted July 28, 2012 How many studs did you use? I don't recall the exact amount, but it was around 650. Quote
SheepEater Posted July 28, 2012 Posted July 28, 2012 I don't recall the exact amount, but it was around 650. That's a lot. Did you get them from bricklink? Quote
The_Chosen_1 Posted July 28, 2012 Author Posted July 28, 2012 Yes, we did. They are actually a very inexpensive piece. Quote
LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted July 28, 2012 Posted July 28, 2012 Great work The_Chosen_1! The water effect is gorgeous! Quote
