So is my first MOC completed. No excuses, but few explanations:
It is my first MOC since childhood and I have not very much Lego, especially not new bricks but I have for the first time a few new colors and new pieces. In my castle world, it is still 1984-85 and I have thought this could have been the sister-set for Guarded inn 6067. Larger MOCs will come when time and more pieces allow!
An important part of any medieval town and castle was the mill so the peasants were often customers to the miller.
This miller is everything but popular right now. The poor farmer is furious over the prices of flour. Although the miller tries to soften him up by offering a pint, the customer is not very happy.
The castle guard is not happy with life either. Instead of standing on the pass looking cool and scary, he has to help with the loading. He wanted to show how brave he was with his halberd, and as that wasn´t enough, the miller insists that the guards duties includes keeping the ivy at bay. "Tomorrow I will request transfer to another watch" mumbles the guard.

Re: First MOC - Grumpy faces at the mill
Not bad bad for a first, and the story that accompanies it is great.

And so he slipped into the forest, vanishing without a trace, leaving his pursuers lost without ideas, while he went to finish his MOC's.

Love the wheel as well as the design of the set. Has a real LEGO feel to it.

Re: First MOC - Grumpy faces at the mill
I almost passed up this post, but I'm glad I stopped to look at it. I love how you went back to the old '80s style with the modular wall system. This would indeed have been a great fit with the guarded inn and the blacksmith's workshop and the others. Thanks for posting!

Yes, the wheel looks incredibly more appealing than that of "Medieval Market Village" 10193.Blego7 wrote:Love the wheel as well as the design of the set. Has a real LEGO feel to it.
Re: First MOC - Grumpy faces at the mill
Quite retro - which is nice, but also well built with some lovely details. Good effort for your first creation!
