aemil Posted April 9, 2013 Posted April 9, 2013 Well people this is my first post showing a moc of my own. The story behind this is that the Queen decides to go for a ride to the countryside with her carriage. She passes in front a cottage and the kid gets out to wave her. This is also my first attempt of building something from the medieval/castle era. What do you think? Any comments are more than welcome! Here is the complete moc: Queen's carriage passing through the village by aemil.toe, on Flickr A close up to the cottage: Medieval cottage by aemil.toe, on Flickr And the carriage from different views: The Queen's carriage by aemil.toe, on Flickr The Queen's carriage back view by aemil.toe, on Flickr The Queen in her carriage by aemil.toe, on Flickr Thanks for viewing it! Have a nice day, built something! Quote
Kez Posted April 9, 2013 Posted April 9, 2013 Great MOC, I love it, the only problem is the carrot is behind the horses head Quote
aemil Posted April 9, 2013 Author Posted April 9, 2013 Great MOC, I love it, the only problem is the carrot is behind the horses head Thanks Kez, well, the driver will move forward in just a moment, I took the photo too early I guess hehe Quote
eurotrash Posted April 9, 2013 Posted April 9, 2013 From the sprawling vegetation to the approach you've used for the roof and the carriage there's a lot to enjoy in this MOC. Thanks for sharing it with us! Quote
de Gothia Posted April 9, 2013 Posted April 9, 2013 That queen is fantastic! She looks really royal! The small cottage and the wagon is also great! Well done! Quote
Mr_Malfoy Posted April 9, 2013 Posted April 9, 2013 Great MOC! I love the carriage, the well, and the little cottage. I that queen minifigure too. Quote
mrcp6d Posted April 10, 2013 Posted April 10, 2013 Really nice. A minor nit, I think some smaller plates or using only one color with some 1x1 rounds thrown in would have helped the path out. The larger plates of different colors make the coloring a bit blocky to my eye. Love how you contained the pitchfork--sometimes it's an otherwise insignificant detail that I take away from somebody else's work, and I'll definitely be remembering this one! Quote
Flieger Posted April 10, 2013 Posted April 10, 2013 Was I the only one thinking about Princess Vespa's luggage when reading the title... Quote
-Carson Haupt- Posted April 10, 2013 Posted April 10, 2013 That coach is really cool. I bet the horse likes this way of driving better than the traditional whip! :D Quote
aemil Posted April 10, 2013 Author Posted April 10, 2013 Thanks guys for your kind comments! The queen was actually the beginning of this, when I made her, I thought she should have a carriage, then I said, lets make a little house as well A minor nit, I think some smaller plates or using only one color with some 1x1 rounds thrown in would have helped the path out. The larger plates of different colors make the coloring a bit blocky to my eye. I'm still experimenting with different techniques for the ground, but I think you are correct, smaller plates would make the job just as well, thanks! Was I the only one thinking about Princess Vespa's luggage when reading the title... It's her face, so maybe I should call her Vespa! lol Quote
soccerkid6 Posted April 10, 2013 Posted April 10, 2013 Very well done for your first MOC! The cottage and carriage are both excellent and the landscape is well detailed, the fenced section and weather vane stood out to me The hinge plates over the windows works well and I like the treasure chest on back of the carriage. Hope you build some other MOCs Quote

kibosh Posted April 10, 2013 Posted April 10, 2013 This really is fantastic. You vegetation is done very well. LOVE the carriage, and your queen is beautiful. She looks like a happy, nice queen. Unlike Queen Cersei... Quote
Disco86 Posted April 10, 2013 Posted April 10, 2013 This is a really cool build, especially because its your first attempt at medieval scenery. There are lots of details, that's how Castle should be done ! Great buidling, wagon and foliage. Also I like the Queen Fig. Quote
aemil Posted April 10, 2013 Author Posted April 10, 2013 Thank you guys! It seems I'm in the right path for medieval/castle era mocing, it was actually quite enjoyable as well! [...] and your queen is beautiful. She looks like a happy, nice queen. Unlike Queen Cersei... Well, If I had a son like Joffrey, I don't know how happy I'd be Quote
kibosh Posted April 11, 2013 Posted April 11, 2013 Well, If I had a son like Joffrey, I don't know how happy I'd be Very true. He truly is evil personified. That's what spoiling your kids will do! Quote
Esurient Posted April 13, 2013 Posted April 13, 2013 Really like the design on the cottage! The carriage looks good as well! Quote
Maxim I Posted April 13, 2013 Posted April 13, 2013 This is really amazing!! I love the carriage!! Also a fantastic way to let the (stunning) queen sit down! Quote
aemil Posted April 14, 2013 Author Posted April 14, 2013 Thanks so much for your comments, I really appreciate them! Quote
gandalf the brick Posted April 15, 2013 Posted April 15, 2013 I see your avatar found its way into the moc! Love the details on this, especially the awesome carriage. Good luck for further medieval mocs! Quote
aemil Posted April 15, 2013 Author Posted April 15, 2013 I see your avatar found its way into the moc! Love the details on this, especially the awesome carriage. Good luck for further medieval mocs! Thank you, it actually happened the other way around, I made the kid first, then I changed the torso to make my avatar, I liked the combination of these hair with that face Quote
Evil Porkchop Posted April 16, 2013 Posted April 16, 2013 Very nice, I really like the foliage and the texture that the terrain has. Quote
