Hun Posted October 18, 2012 Posted October 18, 2012 Here is my medieval landscape from HUNLTC's recent exhibition in Budapest, Hungary. Only about 150 out of my 700 soldiers were present, but this time the emphasis was on landscaping. This 35-baseplate display is just the first step: I'm planning to expand it to 60 beseplates by next year. Inspiration & ideas for this came from a multitude of great builders here, among others Derfel Cadarn, Sirens-of-Titan, DNL, Mark of Falworth and Jojo. Thanks, guys! Quote
Legonardo Posted October 18, 2012 Posted October 18, 2012 Wow! so much to love here, the size, the foliage, the figs... keep it up! Quote
Kristel Posted October 18, 2012 Posted October 18, 2012 This is magnificent! So many different things to drool over .... Quote
PenPlays Posted October 18, 2012 Posted October 18, 2012 Gorgeous.... Greenery. Covered. Gorgeous Quote
narbilu Posted October 18, 2012 Posted October 18, 2012 So cool!!! Can't wait to start my project. Quote
Duce Posted October 18, 2012 Posted October 18, 2012 Thats a great looking project, you should add a ruined small tower or building in the foilage, with over grown look. How did you make the small bandit type guys? Quote
Kai NRG Posted October 18, 2012 Posted October 18, 2012 Wow, that's really beautiful, I love the bear scene Awesome job! Quote
soccerkid6 Posted October 18, 2012 Posted October 18, 2012 Beautiful landscape The bridge, tower, and boat are all excellent as well and the figs add the perfect finishing touch Quote
Hun Posted October 18, 2012 Author Posted October 18, 2012 Wow, thanks guys for all the compliments so far! you should add a ruined small tower or building in the foilage, with over grown look. Well, that's one of my plans for the bigger layout - I take it it's a good idea then, right? How did you make the small bandit type guys? Do you mean these guys? Quote
Sered Posted October 18, 2012 Posted October 18, 2012 Oh my... your moc is so much full of details, I love it. Very cool the new forestman Quote
kibosh Posted October 18, 2012 Posted October 18, 2012 Very nice! I love the colors. They seem so rich! Are the two factions meeting on the road friends or foes? Quote
Balthasar Posted October 18, 2012 Posted October 18, 2012 That is a beautiful scene. Very well balanced landscape. Looks terrific, well done man Quote
TheLegoDr Posted October 18, 2012 Posted October 18, 2012 That is very impressive. The detail, the size, everything. I like the figures marching toward each other. Seeing the larger armies (and it isn't all of them!) is always a good scene. I like the change up of some of the figures torsos/head gear and whatnot. I really like the bandit archer with the brown hood and the brown pants?? Seems very fitting and I may have to copy that figure sometime. I really like the water scene with the ship. You don't see that very often in these big landscapes. Keep up the good work. It'll be crazy seeing the 60 base plates next year! Quote
MikeyB Posted October 18, 2012 Posted October 18, 2012 lots of great details here! I am currently building for the Guilds of Historica Challenge and I really like your watch tower. mine was looking too 'bulky" but yours looks great! I may have to adopt that build for my MOC. Great job all around! Quote
Hun Posted October 18, 2012 Author Posted October 18, 2012 (edited) Are the two factions meeting on the road friends or foes? I imagine them as two friendly kingdoms, meeting here and marching to battle together. There's one problem, however - which direction will they go? One army will have to back up... I think I need to rebuild their meeting place as a crossroads to give them more options. I really like your watch tower. mine was looking too 'bulky" but yours looks great! I may have to adopt that build for my MOC. Sure, go ahead - but I have to give credit for the idea of this watchtower to DNL (DanielZ). Remember his Hrotingas castle evolution MOC from a few years back? Edited October 18, 2012 by Hun Quote
harton Posted October 19, 2012 Posted October 19, 2012 Large MOC are always impressive but as you've may know a good MOC is characterized by small details. I may not like it all but for sure you've caught my attention with you bear hunting scene! Your pinetrees are so good, I really like them, I can image an entire forest... I also like your bridge, or what I thing is the center of your MOC, those 1x1 round made it all, it gives some personnality and "realistic" look to it. Well done. Quote
Duce Posted October 19, 2012 Posted October 19, 2012 Wow, thanks guys for all the compliments so far! Well, that's one of my plans for the bigger layout - I take it it's a good idea then, right? Do you mean these guys? IMO would be a very good idea, but thats just because i think a hidden ruined tower type structure would suit the foilage you've done. Yep those are the ones, looks like a mix of some blue kingdom knight tops, but where do the other pieces come from as they look like a great merc type force. Quote
Hun Posted October 19, 2012 Author Posted October 19, 2012 Thanks for your interest! From left to right: - Viking torso (dark blue arms replaced by tan ones) - CM6 Highland warrior - Knight Kingdoms I robber torso (dark gray arms replaced by yellow ones) - Viking berserker torso - Viking chief torso (dark red arms replaced by tan ones) - Viking torso (sand blue arms replaced by tan ones) - Prince of Persia Zolm torso (dark bluish gray arms replaced by tan ones) - CM4 Viking - Star Wars Qui-Gon Jinn torso from 1999 The Viking series from 2005/2006 is my all-time favourite. Half a dozen excellent generic medieval warrior torsos give you lots of possibilities if you're willing to replace the arms. Quote
Watchman Posted October 20, 2012 Posted October 20, 2012 inspirational - love it - all the landscape detailing Quote
Vindicare Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 Wonderful landscape! All the foliage is great and the figs and all their going about is cool. I really like seeing landscapes done, and medevial ones are the best. This is no exception, awesome work. Quote

Duely stolen if its ok, time to find some of the missing pieces from that list as I love the rag tag look of this. Credit definately goes to you :) Quote
Niku Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 I always have loved your army dioramas, and this one is no exception. The movement sensation of the army is well captured. Quote
