Posted May 7, 201311 yr With the threat from Revolword gone, Ageven stopped by a shop he was told sold wigs. Unfortunately there were no black ones he could change for his brown... This was a quick MOC I had an idea for when I came up with the wig-powderer... I actually had quite a few surplus tables and knick-knacks, I think I'll try to do a shop interior (no exterior) after I destroy this... Credit to Elkund! for the cobblestone technique. Interior; Ziza inspects the clothing for sale while her assistant powders the wigs. As I mentioned, this wig powderer was the reason for the build... so I hope you like it! Top story (which I unfortunately didn't get a good picture of) houses this game board... something I was very pleased with personally... Comments are welcome, this is one of those rare (for me) completely unprovoked free-builds (in other words, I'm not entering this into any competition etc...) so I hope you enjoy it!
May 7, 201311 yr NIce shop, sweet street design and exterior as well as the innovative minifig! That game board is also nice! But where is this shop located?
May 7, 201311 yr Same question as Gideon, where is it located? (it kinda looks like Qarkyr?) really great way to present the wig and the wigpowderer!

But where is this shop located? Thanks! Good question; I totally forgot about that... let's say Eastgate? (Quaker is a good idea, only I don't think Ageven would go all the way there just for a wig...) And to clarify, I meant the utensil was the wig powderer... not the fig which was one of the last additions! On 5/7/2013 at 11:24 PM, -Carson Haupt- said: He wears a wig!?! Oh... well... I just decided to throw that in there. Might repent of it one day! On 5/7/2013 at 11:26 PM, Damaximus said: Same question as Gideon, where is it located?

May 8, 201311 yr Yay, Eastgate finally has a building other than the embassy. (Despite me claiming that I will some day build most of the city... then I go and build another city...) Neat MOC, and the gameboard is quite awesome. Next guild challenge... crown the grandmaster of Kai's game.
May 8, 201311 yr I am in the Mitgardia guild, so I hope I am allowed to comment, if so, It looks really great! Otherwise, it still looks great. I do not really understand the guilds. Are the guilds fighting eachother or are they working together and fighting together? I have send some soldiers in the battle of Queenscross, so I think we are working together, but could someone please make it clearer to me?

At this point the guilds are somewhat united against the common enemy, Revolword and the Hand of Corruption. But they is still tension between guilds. Great build Kai, as said before you just keep improving. The street and roof are my favorite exterior details And Ageven wearing a wig explains why his hair is different color from his moustache/goatee Excellent interior as well, nice use of the hand to hold the dagger

It's something like this (and you did join at a confusing time): The four guilds were united under a common king. However, his throne was usurped by Victor Revolword and his army known as the hand of Corruption. So, until just recently, all four (really five, if you include Valaryio) were united against him. The last challenge was to end the Revolword saga, so depending on who wins, we'll know the next part of the story. Most likely Revolword will be at least temporarily gone. For now at least, the guilds are cooperative (though there's some banter occasionally and a bit of army showing-off), and even if they weren't you're always free to comment on what ever you like!

I used not to pay attention to things like that... but now I'll have to bricklink a black one of those 'wigs' I guess... I'm glad you like the roof. Unfortunately I didn't have enough clip pieces to finish the street off, but it did turn out fairly well anyways!

I have send some soldiers in the battle of Queenscross, so I think we are working together, but could someone please make it clearer to me? Of course you are allowed to comment on all builds here! There are no open hostilities between the guilds at the moment, and judging by most Challenge VI entries the guilds seems to be working together in fighting the common enemy Victor Revolword and the Hand of Corruption. But there is of course competition between the guilds for gold and who knows what will happen after Ch VI? If you have more questions like these please ask them in the questions thread, it will be easier to find the answers in the future then. Maybe you will even find answers already if you read a bit there?
May 8, 201311 yr Thanks all of you, I am centainly going to read the question thread, if I can find it. You all made it clearer to me!

The first post is a bit old though... as you can tell since it says we've just finished the second challenge!
May 8, 201311 yr nice one kai, I always like the small things in your build, you seem to have a hand for them!!

May 8, 201311 yr @Jeroenaa, if you got questions, send me a personal message, I can explain in Dutch then
May 9, 201311 yr @damaximus: Thanks, but it is clear to me for now. English is not a problem for me, but if I have a question, I will send you a PM.
May 9, 201311 yr Good work Kai... now if only you could get rid of that shadow... looks like you got plenty of light for this build. Did you take it outside? I would guess the answer is yes. If so, try taking the shots in the shade next time or with someone holding a big piece of cardboard or something to block the sun and get rid of the shadow!

I assume you mean shade? I have found that for larger builds shade doesn't always work well (possibly because of the camera/fact that I don't use a tripod), and my camera set up is in a spot where there's sun most of the day, but have a piece of cardboard sounds like a good idea (I once tried it with a blanket... it kept blowing away!). Now I just have to find a volunteer...
May 9, 201311 yr I sometimes use a stand in volunteer. A ladder with the cardboard attached via bungee cords! As for the actual build, I like the shape. I think it works well. Good job again. You're really getting much better at this!
