Kai NRG Posted April 23, 2013 Posted April 23, 2013 Illrisca, a middle-sized city of Valaryio, is home to some of the busiest markets in Historica. A Kaliphlin family has settled down in a spacious house right next to one of the biggest markets in the town. A shot of the busy market: Buy anything from jewelry and diamonds to chicken legs to bread straight from the oven! Two children stage a mock battle on the small lawn: Sorry if some of the pictures weren't so great, the weather was uncooperative and I had to dismantle it soon after... How does it compare to my previous Valaryio build? I'm sure my tan brick count has improved, if nothing else! If I had had a bit more time I might have tried to throw an interior in there, but unfortunately I didn't get the chance. A couple more pictures on Flickr anyways! Quote
Mike S Posted April 23, 2013 Posted April 23, 2013 Both builds have some great elements but I do think this new one has a little more eye appeal perhaps in the arangement. Nice build! Quote
Captain BeerBeard Posted April 24, 2013 Posted April 24, 2013 I have to agree with Masa. The new moc has much better photo quality. The base is also better because you can see the water. Quote
soccerkid6 Posted April 24, 2013 Posted April 24, 2013 I agree with the above comments I think the colorscheme in this build is more attractive than the other as well. Great work on the market and the figs in it. Cool stair design to the canal as well, but wouldn't the gondola go there to unload? Quote
robuko Posted April 24, 2013 Posted April 24, 2013 The lighting and presentation are really nice Kai, your building skills are growing every time. The use of colour and contrast is good, and I like the recurring motif of stacked 1x1 round bricks. The jumper plate on the bottom stair bothers me a bit. I rally like the bustle in the marketplace, and your wave effect is very elegant. Great build Quote
ZCerberus Posted April 24, 2013 Posted April 24, 2013 Much improved. You are really improving your photo and build skills. Quote
Kai NRG Posted April 24, 2013 Author Posted April 24, 2013 Thanks everyone, I'm glad you think my photo quality has improved! Looking back at some of my first, wow I used to be pretty lousy... ...Cool stair design to the canal as well, but wouldn't the gondola go there to unload? Good point. But my thought was more or less that it would be easier just to hoist things up (the guy on the bottom pushing and the guy on top taking it), and when a person wanted to go up they could take the stairs. And of course, if I had put it there, you wouldn't be able to see the stairs as well... ...The jumper plate on the bottom stair bothers me a bit... Yeah, it bothered me too. Unfortunately I only have one 1x2 dk grey tile (I was able to get around the second stair by using a 2x2, but those were in short supply as well), so I didn't have much choice... Quote
Ecclesiastes Posted April 24, 2013 Posted April 24, 2013 Nicely done Kai! I really like all the minifig action that is going on! (although the hat of the guy fishing feels a bit misplaced to me) And compared to your others builds, your getting better and better. Quote
de Gothia Posted April 25, 2013 Posted April 25, 2013 A nice little scene you have created Kai! Many things and details to look at! I love these packed mocs when you can find new things all the time! Nice work! Quote
Kai NRG Posted April 26, 2013 Author Posted April 26, 2013 (edited) Thanks Ecc! A nice little scene you have created Kai! Many things and details to look at! I love these packed mocs when you can find new things all the time! Nice work! Thanks! This was one of those few MOCs I felt I could just keep adding and adding details to, that's the great thing about markets! Edited April 26, 2013 by Kai NRG Quote
kabel Posted April 26, 2013 Posted April 26, 2013 Definetely like all the action that is going on. And I would have to agree, I also like this one better. It just shows that you have matured as a builder! Great work, maybe we'll see each other in Varlyria Quote
Gideon Posted April 26, 2013 Posted April 26, 2013 Nice lively scene, I agree with above that you have refined your building style in a good way...even though I think the old build uou showed here was really nice as well! Favorite detail in the new build is something as simple but elegant as the snot stairs into the water :) Quote
Kai NRG Posted April 27, 2013 Author Posted April 27, 2013 Thanks guys! Definetely like all the action that is going on. And I would have to agree, I also like this one better. It just shows that you have matured as a builder! Great work, maybe we'll see each other in Varlyria You never know... and I do think I have pieces to build your fig somewhere around here... Quote
