A MOCtale* part 1:




Every legend begins with a little greed... This one begins with a lot...

Tis a tale of two brothers; one wise and the other foolish... Foolish enough to believe a traveler’s tale of a vast treasure horde... Nine chests, of such bountiful wealth that they could only be transported by a stone cart, buried deep in a secret shaft of a lost mine, whose owners had been overtaken by a terrible fate...

Two long years without word passed, and then the eight greatest warriors of the clan set out with their Chieftain to find this lost mine. For a brother is a brother, no matter how foolish...

Stand at the entrance, dare to find, who can tell what awaits at the: Entrance To The Caves



  • A MOCtale is a story told by MOCs of its pivotal scenes...



About this particular MOC:

I’m very pleased with the way this turned out, I’ve never built a cut-away MOC before and there are also a lot of features packed into the relatively small space of this model. It is the first in a series I have planned which will complete a MOCtale. It is also the first time I’ve tried my hand at editing, I can only get better ; ). As always please let me know what you think.

Thanks and God Bless,

Nathan

Hey Nathan,

I’ve posted about this elsewhere, but since no one had replied here, I had jump on. This is a sweet MOC! It still is blowing me away everytime I look at the pics. You, sir, are an artist.

Thanks much Josh, you are always too kind! : ) I think taking out the backgrounds in my pics has really made my MOCs look much better...

Thanks again and God Bless,

Nathan

Hi Nathan,

Wow, absolutely amazing !

I love everything : the landscaping, the tree, the house, the waterfall, and the lighting which brings a deep atmosphere.

Well done !

Erik

Thanks much! I’m glad you liked the lighting, it ws achieved by snapping a few hundred pics and then saying,‘they’re all bad except that one...’ ; )

God Bless,

Excellent MOC. I usually frequest .town but came over here after seeing the pictures. Love all the details. Very realistic looking. It doesn’t always look like lego which is a quality I strive for in my MOC’s.

Fabulous!


Best,

Jonathan

Thanks much! Especially for making the long voyage back in time : ) I also like an element of realism in my MOCs, but not as much as most town builders seem to strive for, it is still a caricature art to me...

Thanks again and God Bless,

Nathan
