September 4, 201410 yr simply amazing. I don't even know how you do it. Your work is a true inspiration. I just came out of the dark ages and am starting to put together a collection of bricks to build MOC and your builds make me want to get that collection together even quicker.
September 5, 201410 yr Great work again in this contest Markus! Besides making a good looking Steampunk Falkon you also managed to put interior in it! Hooray Good luck for the contest, you might need it!
September 6, 201410 yr Author im so speechless ... i cant say many to this absolut stunning feebacks from all of you!!! @Zblj No, its a little bit smaller then the original UCS Set! LDD - never , they are about 12.000 parts and toooooo many work to make it with the Digital Designer - Sorry! @Chills About 12.000 parts, building time in 50 hours in 6days @Robianco Thanks!! Where i can by this book?!? NOW its over! http://www.fbtb.net/forums/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=10826 I can only say thanks, thanks and thanks for all they watch the contest and MOC`s and all who have voted for me! markus
September 8, 201410 yr Incredible work, markus. It is amazing how you keep outdoing yourself with every MOC. I can't imagine what you'll build in a year from now... Staying in the present, what an amzing Falcon you have there! Regarded just as a MF, it is equally impressive as the official UCS. But you surpass it by adding those details. The signature log bricks, the panels with printing, the grills... they are all over the place. Maybe the best detailing is the expert way in which you exposed studs. It perfectly matches the atmosphere, and it all seems intentional. The fact that it has such a beautiful interior just blows my mind. I really like what you did to it. Some people may think it looks a bit empty, but I say it looks very industrial and efficient, with large spaces to move the coal about, nice storage rooms and a clear layout. Fantastical! The thing that strikes me though, is the fact that the interior and exterior are a bit out of sync. The exterior is very messy and beaten up, while the interior is so clean. I think you could even this out a bit more. There are already some 'cleaner' areas on the exterior, like the part with all of the log bricks. The interior could be made a bit more filthy however. People are working there with filthy machines anyway. So especially the area around the machines could use some 'weathering'. The grills in the ground are a nice touch, but I think the ground could be bit more darker towards the machines. It would also be nice if the clean look of the rest of the ship could be justified by some cleaning equipment in some corner. I've said this several times, and you are progressing, but still I find complete originality a bit lacking. don't understand me wrong: there are some very creative touches like the boilers taking up those 'cavities' in the hulls, the storage place for water, the nice 'windows' at the docking area and whatever that amazing satellite dish thingy is. But these are details, and there are no big conceptual changes present in your MOC. For instance, all of your Steampunk creations have propellers. This is getting a bit old, so maybe it would be nice to explore other methods of propulsion, like flapping wings, balloons and steam jets. If you don't have enough inspiration, look for the most prominent feature of the ship. In this case, that would be the front, with the two protruding parts. You could turn these into giant wings, or claws if you make it a salvage ship. You see that starting from one prominent feature and fantasizing about it, that you can easily imagine the rest of the ship. Sometimes, you can go for something different entirely, not just by changing certain features, but by changing the way the ship works. It would be awesome if you turned the ship at it's side, so that the cockpit would be at the top. That would be really unique and eye-catching, and it would make for an even more appealing MOC (if I believe my imagination). You could, for example, work with all kinds of smaller levels inside, much more like a ship with decks. So I hope I got your juices going to explore new concepts, and embrace the creative possibilities it offers. If you add that to your amazing techniques and genius, then you will get at a new level, and as I said at the beginning, then I really can't imagine what will be next. So keep rocking and keep improving! I hope my suggestions are of some use, but I see there really isn't a lot to improve. You truly are a MOC expert, and I look forward to every one of your builds. And I like as much people as possible to enjoy it as well. Therefor: And congratulations on winning this high-caliber contest. I hope you found some time to enjoy it, between all the 'pressure' of the building!
September 8, 201410 yr Author And again i can only say thanks! @beaver You are really crazy :laugh: but in the good sense! At first, thanks very much for your really honest and long feedback (again ). I am happy whenever I get any suggestions because we never stop learning. About the feedback of the "same style" from the steampunk MOC`s i can only say thats right. That was my debut at the world of steampunk , so i watch many pictures on google (not lego) that i have some impression for the first MOC. After stressful weeks of building and building i have to make an MOC for the final round and since I did not want to experiment much at "my" steampunk style because I really wanted to win and doesnt wont to take any risks! So, enough bad english from me, hope you understand what i`v mean . Thanks very much!!!!!! markus Edit: AND MANY THANKS FOR BLOGGING THE MF! Edited September 8, 201410 yr by markus1984
October 27, 201410 yr Really amazing! I love that your creation has an interior as opposed to the UCS falcon. Also great job on the steampunk style!
