 | | MOC - Bowman Fields' Cottage —Jeremiah VanderMark
|
| | | Hi All, This is my first real[1] Castle MOC ever, the home of Bowman Fields, adventurer-for-hire. It's a bit small, even for a little cottage, but I love the way it looks so cartoony. I was inspired by a photo of a miniature cottage from one of (...) (22 years ago, 8-Jan-03, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.announce.moc)

| | | | | hello Jeremiah VanderMark! I like it very much what you've accomplished with this tiny building. A agree completely with the cartoonish look, you mentioned. It's so nice to see what playing with shapes can do to these bricks. Inspiring! Looking (...) (22 years ago, 8-Jan-03, to lugnet.castle)

| | | | | | (...) Thanks! Yeah, the whole "rounding the brick" thing is pretty interesting. I think it adds a bit of... well, not realism, per se, but it definitely adds something to the regular square buildings. I try to build roofs without slopes so I can get (...)

| | | | | Hi Jeremiah, I really like what you have done here in such a small space. Lots of detail put together in a believeable way. Other points I like - The way it hinges from the outside of the stairwell, totally unexpected and kinda cool the overhang of (...) (22 years ago, 8-Jan-03, to lugnet.castle)

The hinge thing was mine though - a bit of inspiration can really give a model a defining feature. (...) I hadn't even noticed that :) Nope, (...) (22 years ago, 9-Jan-03, to lugnet.castle)

| | | | | Wow, Jeremiah! I am impressed! For your first castle building, this is quite good. Heck, this is good for someone's 50th castle building. It is small but that makes for a good challange. You really fit everything needed in that little space. Quite (...) (22 years ago, 8-Jan-03, to lugnet.castle)

I agree about small buildings being a challenge - I've repeatedly attempted large castles and such, but I keep losing interest halfway through the giant grey walls :) The advantage of building small is that I can (...)

| | | | | Hello! Realy cool! I too like the cartoon style of the cottage, very cute. With all those details and functionality on this small space your building is almost qualified to be a My-Own-Creation-Set. Bye Jojo (22 years ago, 8-Jan-03, to lugnet.castle)

| | | | Jeremiah, Great cottage! I guess it's redundant by this point to say I really liked the overhang with the stairwell, but I did. Also lots of nice little details upstairs. Hinging it open is great for playability. Bruce (22 years ago, 9-Jan-03, to lugnet.castle)
