Legonardo Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 Sarlina's Cottage Sarlina was always an adventurous person, right from childhood. she was brought up in a small cottage in the village of grim hollow on the Dark Isle of Avalonia, with her two loving parents. although a dark time, she was happy, and enjoyed the friendship of Tayrn. One night long ago her house was looted and her parents beheaded, when she woke that morning something in her snapped, a rebellious nature has born into her, as well as longing for justice. or perhaps a lust for revenge? since then she rarely visits her cottage, always off getting up to something... Ok chums, i was gonna build this one ages ago, but uhm... yeah. CCC XI is coming up soon, this was a 3 day build, so thats good considering i'm not gonna have as much time to win master builder as i had originally anticipated, but will do! this thing is damn flimsy!

Bayou Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 Very nice, but the door handle and the hinges are on the same side of the door ?! Quote
Legonardo Posted October 29, 2013 Author Posted October 29, 2013 Very nice, but the door handle and the hinges are on the same side of the door ?! Congratulations, youre the first person to publicly pointed that out, its been that way in like 7 or 8 of my mocs now, bout time! thanks Quote
TenorPenny Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 Very ricket-y, and lovely to boot..! Quote
Bob De Quatre Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 Very nice cottage I like the tortured shape. Nice use of the frog Btw a door can have the hinges and handle on the same side... you'll just have to use morce force to open it Quote
Legonardo Posted October 29, 2013 Author Posted October 29, 2013 thanks guys! Btw a door can have the hinges and handle on the same side... you'll just have to use morce force to open it thats the spirit! Quote
Yooha Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 Is there any right angle in/on the building? :) Quote
soccerkid6 Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 Lovely build, very 'Legonardo' I like that you added gables and frog at the peak works nicely. I'm going to have to try your roof design sometime, it looks amazing Tremendous rockwork and landscape too, it almost seems to mirror the shape of the cottage. Very much looking forward to your CCC builds, I'll be entering a few times myself Quote
Legonardo Posted October 29, 2013 Author Posted October 29, 2013 the only pics are sorry :( thanks isaac! looking forward to your entries! Quote
HammerBro Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 Wonderful stressed look and the rocks stellar as always! Quote
mpoh98 Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 Wonderful work Legonardo! I love everything about this build, it just screams awesome! You should make a tutorial on how to make your rocks. I sure could use it! Quote
Gideon Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 The final house turned out lovely! The detailing on the walls and roof are great, and all the various directions the rock pieces are assembled makes me dizzy I don't know what you have behind there, but I guess a light hand might be needed when moving a build like this...?

hench Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 I really like your style! Cottage looks very realistic and cute. Quote
Emma Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 Wow, those are some awesome angles you've managed to achieve. I can just picture the top part of the cottage sliding off and smashing on the rocky ground. (And of course lovely work with the colour scheme, and landscaping/rock work as always.) Quote
RonaldusMaxus Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 I love the eerie feel to it with the story as well. Quote
kabel Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 Gee, i wonder what keeps this together - awesome as always, it's missing a minifig our two though ... Quote
Wedge09 Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 Simply great Legonardo :thumbup: I love tha asimmetrical structure Quote
Infernum Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 Nice work LD! Love the angles and the one section with cheese! Quote
The_Cook Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 (edited) Am I right in guessing that the walls on the upper floor are actually at right angles to each other and it's a mix of the tilt and the plates forming the timberwork that give it the completely rickety feel? Then the roof is square with the base and the timberwork is covering the joins? Regardless it's very cleverly done. Edited October 29, 2013 by The_Cook Quote
mrcp6d Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 Gauntlet. On. The. Ground. Just for the sake of pushing myself I'll be trying to get enough done to at least qualify for Master Builder. Ain't no prayer of winning if this is a warm-up for you though. Looking forward to seeing who might pick up LD's gauntlet and accept the challenge Quote
Legonardo Posted October 30, 2013 Author Posted October 30, 2013 thanks guys! Gah, allways with the rock tutorial! it shard to think of how to explain it, its not like roofs or walls! both walls are, alongside having been built diagonally, are leaning out somewhere about 10 degrees. roof is square with the base, though the upper triangle also leans out.

Derfel Cadarn Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 L Dizzle strikes again! A worthy edition to the Dark Isle Saga! Quote
Hinckley Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 This can't be any more brilliant. I have been trying to get this exact same feel in a creation with limited success and this is so inspiring to me. Are the walls of the second floor actually at angles to the first floor? I of course mean outward angles. They're obviously angled vertically. So I guess I mean I can tell they are slanted on the X and Y axis, do they angle out on the Z axis as well? Quote
Hobbythom Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 Simply wonderfull. I love the crookedness of it all. Great job! Quote
