West Stedor

[Mike S]

This is one awesome layout buddy! I like all the changes you've made. The flower roof is a great idea and I like the camel mural, and new cheese slope initials! Can't wait to see the whole setup!

Impressive.

Really nice, that is huge!

Epic work DM! Awesome to see your efforts come together like this. I feel like I could spend a whole day gazing at this beauty. I love that market place and the whole architecture of the walls and towers is gorgeous.

Pff, this is nothing - If I had your bricks, devotion and skill, I could do the same!

Really great build - Your unique building style really shines when it is all put together! (And I understand an even bigger setup is under way )

PS: Are you tracking this in the HSS challenge? Stedor must be well on its way beyond citystatus by now - Maybe RogueAngel should prepare a metropolis-status?

Thanks Bregir! :) I will update my HSS tomorrow :) normally it should be at least a city now :p

Great job. I like how you have everyone doing there own thing. The city seems to scream, play with me!

Haha thanks! It is fun to play with the crane and ships in the harbor :D

Holy crap.

Haha nice comment :p

What a lovely build, and a tremendous size! I really like that you have mixed things up by putting the colourful marketplace inside the walls. The camel mural is a highlight for me. I can't wait to see this together with East Stedor! This is just an amazing example of how builders develop here in GoH.

Thanks Robuko :) it won't be easy to update this in the future as it is very solid (and has tons of those round 1x1tiles which I will never ever remove :p )

Glad you like it Mike! I am looking forward to Aden's Gate :)

Impressive.

Thanks Vitreolum & TRV!

Haha feel free to come to Brickmania and spend the whole day gazing :p

Sorry, DM, I'm so behind on reading topics, I hadn't even seen this one until today. I'm barely keeping up with Kali guild topic unfortunately.

I think the "Holy Crap!" comment just about sums it up! There's so much going on here; it's amazing.

- Architecture: roofing (the flowers) +1

- Architecture walls: SNOT tiled walls (the camel and doors) +1 if you're asking for a wall-technique certification, but not if you're asking for 'Advanced SNOT'

- Architecture roofrakes (the white roofrakes of the Horses Head Inn) +1

- General Building: Movement-enabled (the crane on the docks and the crane of the workshop) +1

Regarding manufacturing and art, I'm not going to +1 those, but I won't veto either. I'm expecting a little bit more for those, since they're content-related not technique-related. Maybe it's just that it's hard to see in the photos (especially the painter). My expectations for these type of subjects is an MOC that shows more than a single person working on the subject with one or two tools; like an MOC that really explores the subject in more detail. So for Art, I'd expect to see a museum; or a full artist's studio with multiple works-in-progress, lots of tools and implements, and maybe a model or something; or perhaps a large LEGO mosaic work of art. Likewise for manufacturing, I'd expect something along the lines of a small factory, or even a workshop -- but one that was fully thought out and built out, with everything the craftsman needs. You actually might have done that here; I just have a hard time telling from these pictures. Anyway, since there are no official guidelines on this yet, I won't veto these subjects.

Regarding asking for more than four subjects (the maximum is four, not three, by the way): I think with a build of this scale and variety, that's acceptable. Especially since you could have easily posted these as separate MOCs. It seems that other guildmembers are generally positive on making an exception also. I'll write up a proposed guideline for this on the UoP thread. But consider this request approved.

Thanks for your well thought feedback NM! :)

So massive and yet so full of life and details! Great work on this! Impressed with your patience of buidling this beast!
