kevkipo Posted February 1, 2014 Posted February 1, 2014 Great gabe! but i already said that on Flickr ;) Quote
gedren_y Posted February 1, 2014 Posted February 1, 2014 I, too, have been checking this out on Flickr, and have been amazed. Gotta give you congrats now because you've been Front Paged! Quote
TheLET Posted February 1, 2014 Posted February 1, 2014 Amazing, it captures the feeling of Hobbiton in Fabuland style. It has so many great details, and everything comes beautiful together. I really like the way you made and incorporated those interiors. Quote
Rogue Angel Posted February 1, 2014 Posted February 1, 2014 This is Fantastic! What a great concept! The cutaway hobbit hole is very well done, as is the windmill. The Fabuland characters work in very well. The scale of this is quite stunning as well, and I love the trees and foliage. Amazing! Quote
ikba Posted February 1, 2014 Posted February 1, 2014 Really nice work! The build is great, and I'm really impressed by the quality of the paint-job on some of the figures! The build looks amazing! Quote
Digger1221 Posted February 1, 2014 Posted February 1, 2014 This whole build is absolutely lovely! Great work Gabe! :) Quote

Xcod119 Posted February 1, 2014 Posted February 1, 2014 I find that absolutely amazing! So much detail! Quote
mrcp6d Posted February 1, 2014 Posted February 1, 2014 Simply incredible. I'm going to have to pour over all the pics on Flickr for quite some time. Quote
Gunman Posted February 1, 2014 Posted February 1, 2014 Saw this on flickR. You rock man... excellent job! Quote
whydoris Posted February 2, 2014 Posted February 2, 2014 OMG, loving loving loving it so much!!!! Yesterday I found three fabuland figures and was wondering what can I do with them. Here is the fabulous idea! I love the settings of the whole village - just loving it! Quote
Gabe Posted February 2, 2014 Author Posted February 2, 2014 This is great! I have no idea what Fabuland is, but from the Hobbiton angle... Just wonderful. The texture and colors are very whimsical, and it really makes you feel like you are looking in at the shire on a warm sunny day! Amazing, it captures the feeling of Hobbiton in Fabuland style. It has so many great details, and everything comes beautiful together. I really like the way you made and incorporated those interiors. Thankyou! I did try to balance detail with the original joyful feel of the Fabuland world; i'm not sure that i didn't overdo it in places, but i'm glad that it works well for you both! Holy Bananas!! Just love this and interiors as well! Wow Gabe, you are really spoling us! Now add some GoH touch to it and post it GoH as well! ;) Maybe Gabe is on a journey to a Avalonian hobbit town? =) Thanks de Gothia! Haha i think this might just be a little outsized for Avalonian hobbits... giant hobbits perhaps? Beautiful I haven't seen many MOCs in Fabuland scale, it looks great, and the modified Fabuland figs look very fitting in the Shire The colors and shape of the windmill are lovely and all the interiors are superb. Your water effect works nicely, and I like that you used some good old blue in it. I'm always impressed by your builds and am definitely impressed with this Thanks Soccerkid! Yeah i have quite a lot of "good 'ol blue" hanging around, so it made sense to use it. Plus, with all the different water techniques out there, i still think that primary blue more than holds it's own! I've been following this for a while on Flickr and I must say the result is stunning. One of the things I like most are the shapes of the windmill, I think it's the best I've seen so far and it even works! Thanks so much Ecc, that's lovely to hear! The windmill really was the start point for this diorama, and although i think i didn't quite nail the Fabuland scale with it (it's a bit small), it still manages to be my favourite part of the layout as well. Thanks also for frontpaging my creation, i feel very honoured! I, too, have been checking this out on Flickr, and have been amazed. Gotta give you congrats now because you've been Front Paged! Thanks gedren! It was indeed a lovely surprise to wake up to this morning! This is Fantastic! What a great concept! The cutaway hobbit hole is very well done, as is the windmill. The Fabuland characters work in very well. The scale of this is quite stunning as well, and I love the trees and foliage. Amazing! Thanks rogueang! I did struggle with the scale a bit, and although i still think it's a bit off in places, i do agree that it works harmoniously as a whole. Interesting isn't it, how scale can be wrong and yet look right? (Or inversely, be correct and yet look all wrong! ) Of course, seeing it in 2D is very different to looking at it in the brick... i was joking a bit at the convention that if you looked at it from the top of the hill down to the windmill, it almost looked like forced perspective! Really nice work! The build is great, and I'm really impressed by the quality of the paint-job on some of the figures! The build looks amazing! Thankyou ikba! I don't know if you can tell, but i actually used some of the torso designs from the LoTR and Hobbit minifigs and painted them onto the Fabuland figs. Sadly at the time i'd lost my box of 000 and smaller brushes, and had to make do with a manky old 0 brush. I hope to go back and clean them up a bit later. Most excellent job! I thoroughly enjoyed watching this project progress and now it looks so great finished! Thankyou Louie le Brickvalier and thankyou again for following my progress... it is so useful to me to hear what ppl have to say about my WIP's as i post them. This build would not have worked out as well as it did without all the comments and suggestions i recieved! OMG, loving loving loving it so much!!!! Yesterday I found three fabuland figures and was wondering what can I do with them. Here is the fabulous idea! I love the settings of the whole village - just loving it! Thankyou very much whydoris! Fabuland really was a magical theme and i'm sure you will find many uses in your moc's for your Fabuland figs! Wow, I love the interiors, so many great details! Excellent job Gabe! Congrats on winning! The moc is brilliant and amazing, keep up the good work! Very nice job Gabriel! Brilliant work! Wow, this is brilliant! Wow! Just awesome Great gabe! but i already said that on Flickr ;) This whole build is absolutely lovely! Great work Gabe! :) I find that absolutely amazing! So much detail! Simply incredible. I'm going to have to pour over all the pics on Flickr for quite some time. Saw this on flickR. You rock man... excellent job! Thankyou all for your lovely and encouraging comments! I'm so glad that you have been enjoying my build. Quote
Doom2099 Posted February 2, 2014 Posted February 2, 2014 Outstanding work! Hobbiton is always good for scenery, and mixing in the fun of Fabuland is inspired. So many details packed in this just waiting to be found! Quote
Tuinman Posted February 2, 2014 Posted February 2, 2014 Really nice! I love all the details. And a great idea to mix Fabuland with Hobbiton! Quote
Gabe Posted February 3, 2014 Author Posted February 3, 2014 Thankyou Doom2099, Tuinman and Godtshep for your kind words! Quote
King Aragorn Posted February 3, 2014 Posted February 3, 2014 This is a stunning MOC! It's funny to see characters from fabuland! Quote
Brick_Sticker Posted February 3, 2014 Posted February 3, 2014 As all the others have said, excellent work! The colors and the depth of detail really bring it to life, it's fabuland-lous-ish! Quote
Mr Breden Posted February 3, 2014 Posted February 3, 2014 Brilliant build I particulary like Bag End. Quote
Wout Posted February 3, 2014 Posted February 3, 2014 This looks very good. I like he idea of combining Fabuland wih LOTR. Gandalf the Grey is well done. Quote
h22chen Posted February 4, 2014 Posted February 4, 2014 Wow, nice! A small town in paradise. I love how there was an abundance of food. Quote
GenGrager Posted February 4, 2014 Posted February 4, 2014 Just awesome! Whence you have this skills for building great Things? Quote
LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted February 4, 2014 Posted February 4, 2014 Unbelievable building, I've never seen such a detail for Fabuland's characters! Quote
timura Posted February 8, 2014 Posted February 8, 2014 This layout is amazing. I like custom build figures and the interior of the buildings the most. The windmill is also looking great. Blogged at tilesorstuds.com: http://www.tilesorstuds.com/2014/02/hobbiton-in-fabuland.html Quote
bachamn Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 Amazing work! I love the birch trees :) the cut-aways to show interior detail are also a nice touch. Quote
