A Mine in the Mountains...

Well, this is my huge WIP Mountain Mine. It's a(as the title suggests) Mine in which Dwarfs work at digging up precious metals over a ravine. I only have three pics right now but it's really detailed, and took I dunno, around two months of off and on, ever other day work.

Basic view

Waterfall trickles down the mountainside

Close up of details

And if you have Flickr, leave comments and notes! I check my Flickr page for activity as often as I do CABG!

Looks nice so far!Cool waterfall! I see an RGS in the backround.

Hi ho, hi ho, it's off to work we go...
*whistles*

Shouldn't the waterfall be in trans-blue and clear? I think there may be some bricks in those colors you could utilise. Off to Bricklink!

Yes; actually I used them because it's distinctly dark water as it's inside a cavern, and I built a whole river inside there with dark blue studless bricks from the Droid Gunship.

Next time I go to a Lego Store I'm going to the PAB shelf and I won't leave deprived. :grin:

Yep good idea, that's what I did. You did seem to be a bit jealous...

Oh, I AM.

I can't believe how you made those supports for that speeder outside the Jedi Temple thing out of what, 1x2 and 1x4 plates? Fantastic!

I don't have any 4x4s those are really rare, but I do have about 50 2x1 clear plates, 15 1x2 clear bricks, and 30 2x1 clear blue bricks. Also besides getting those at PaB get a bunch of grass pieces, and what not. Just thinking about it makes me want to go to that special wall...

OK, trans blue, clear tiles studded and non if possible...

What do you mean grass pieces? You mean studded green tiles?

The ones that have three stalks, and can fit purdy flowers on them... I think Zeph has quite a few. Well, PaB also has those big rock walls, and tons of other stuff I'm sure you should find useful.

I'm gonna get some more pics and upload them to the CABG server because I'm so impatient; I already used about 10 varying rock wall pieces in the very construction of the mine itself.

It looks like I'm the one who's jealous now...

Wow it looks so cool I love how you had the mine fit in with the mountain.

Um wow, interesting. I have seen people double post with the same words but never a triple post!

I'm guessing he clicked 'Send' three times by accident...

It's okay, I'm sure you'll get the hang of it soon.

Phailure at the highest level.

I like this, although yous hold replace the walls with stones printed on them with some LURPs.


I reported Informers posts since this is just spam and double posting on purpose...

I once did a mountain mine model a few years ago. Main differances were it was about 3 times bigger than this one and was about Vikings! Still, quality not quantity and yours is very impressive!

LURPS? Beggin' your pardon but that's just the one Lego term I never got the hang of; BURPs included.

Also, thanks for the report.
