Hi Thoy, thought I'd let you know that I sent you a Flickr message concerning CBS2013. Just incase you don't check your Flickr very often :)

Beautiful, gorgeous, lush detail. I love it. And can you give me a hand? I must have borrowed some of your ideas, but I can't find them yet. Give me some direction, please!

Love the detail of your build..good job

Haha! Actually all my business Lego is kept separate from my building collection. Now that your on MOCpages you will find your Lego skill sky rockets. Really good to see you here! ~Thoy

Hmmm first pic looks rather similar to one I saw on TradeMe that led to buying grass and bamboo pieces, wondering if I now own a small part of this MOC;) Outstanding work, I aspire to this level of awesomeness

this is so awesome congrats on MOTD!!!! you totally desvered it!! also whenever u get the chance check this out http://www.mocpages.com/moc.php/314290

Stunning and very intricate. Keep up the good work! May God bless you. :)

Congrats on MOTD! :D

stunning...

ausomest thing I ever saw

I love how like no one notices the ufo!

Wow this is really amazing!

Heyyyyy! What a nice souvenir for the MOTD!! And just like Nick said: It's more than deserved. Congrats!!!

you said it mite not be quality we were looking for your JOKING this is AMAZING!!! Sight of the Seer = 6/5

Congrats on MOTD. Nice to see something that deserves it.

Ha! Love the alien ship, overall great job.

Absolutely beautiful moc!! One of the best I've seen in a while, with absolutely stunning details. Well done, and congrats on the VERY well deserved motd

It would seem that the minifigures are not even giving one single *insert f-word here* on this day. Very good build, plenty of details to admire!

Congratz on MOTD Thoy! :D

I am amazed by the staircase and the water. Great job!

The most deserving MOTD I've seen for a long time!

Spectacular...there arn't many other words to describe this...the detail is perfect...your use of round one by ones is ingenious...I never thought I would ever see anything with that many of that piece used in such amazing ways...your forestry impresses as well...the trees and shrubs are done with excellent attention to detail and realism...the tower stairs to is another piece of fine work...overall this build impresses and awes all comers...well done indeed

CONGRATS ON YOUR MOTD!

Awesome,I admire how you made something huge while still adding so much perfect greebles and details.Everywhere we look our eyes come accross something cool whether its some nice detailing,a good design or some NPU. I really like this.

An excellent blend of genres. I'm sorry that we don't get to hear the story behind this MOC, but I totally understand the slump that comes near the end of a project if it drags on too long. Incredible work on the pathway, the crash sight with the buried saucer, and the foliage. They are all exceptional.

motd, Nice, well deserved

Congrats on MOTD, Thoy! :D

A crashed alien shuttle must be a common sight around there. Absolutly stunning build! ~Mr.X~

I LOVE IT! 5/5

Jaw dropping!

Awesome! Totally deserves motd! Check out this moc I made http://mocpages.com/moc.php/313992

this is INCREDIBLE!!!! what an eyeful! you really mastered the art of presentation! GREAT JOB this looks AMAZING!!!

staircase of awesome

Wow this is maybe the best scene I saw on mocpages!

Yay! MOTD! You totally deserve it here. I personally think this is one of your best works between the hilarious subject matter, the incredible landscaping, the unquenchable river, and the epic curvy staircase. I must say though, my least favorite part is the waterfall. Sorry, but the colors make it too... I don't know. Something. Great work!

Here's another smiley for MOTD - Its just as great the second time around! Cheers Mate!

Thaught i've comment on this before...This is so stunning! All the details - all the love you put in there to connect all these most little pieces. my fingers hurt by only looking at this... and congrats to MOTD!

Very nice...

Jaw droppngly good.

Awesome MOTD! You deserve it!

There should be more MOTDs like this! Awsome!

This is great. It has landscaping and plant life, something that I think is missing from many Lego displays. I was deciding how to make water for my lego display, and you have the perfect technique. I also like the waterfall and curved stairs. The alien was a nice, unusual addition.

This should really be moc of the year...if such exists. amazing. speechless.

OMG i am speechless

A well deserved MOTD.

Congrats on MOTD! You bulid a masterpiece!

Well this looks familiar! I think I've already commented, but it's not everyday that the MOTD is a masterpiece like this! All that to say, you get another comment. Congratulations Thoy! You've now achieved the dream of each and every "MOCer"!

Wow!! - Love your mixed colors technique - really works well for the waterfall. Nice tree, too. - Huss Q.

Congrats on MOTD Thoy!!

The MOTD was well deserved!

Congratulations on MOTD!

MOTD!!!!! congrats, Thoy!

Definitely one of the most amazing MOCs/builds I have ever seen, it's so rich in details, so well designed and so much fun to watch over and over, brilliant work!

Wow. This is absolutely amazing. There are so many successes in this work I don't even know where to start. First off, I love the "flying saucer crashing into a medieval world" concept. And the mud washing over the saucer is a well-executed effect, as is the waterfall. The tower is awesome, but it's the stairway that steals it for me. Great work!

Outstanding!

I saw this a while ago but was too blown away to remember to comment. Beautiful, just beautiful, and great use of that crashed UFO. Reminds me of a scene in Ultima VII.

Fantastic scene, mate!

Wooow ?! there's a lot going on here, the ufo is so out of place :P but I mean that in a good way, love the landing trail, keep them coming.

THIS IS AWESOME! I'm amazed that you have enough pieces to build something as magnifecent as this! Keep up the good work!

THIS IS AWESOME! I'm amazed that you have enough pieces to build something as magnifecent as this! Keep up the good work!

Wow, looks amazing Thoy, really lovely work! The crashed alien is fantastic, with the dirt heaped up over the front of the saucer and the huge skid mark behind it. The river and the foliage on the banks is a masterpiece of tranquility and the tower draws your eye very naturally to the ridge. However, there were a few things that puzzled me about the scene: how come no-one seems that concerned about a alien craft crash landing just metres from them?? :o And initially i thought that the blackened area was part of the crash site, so it confused me to see the skid mark coming from the opposite direction. In fact, if i have one criticism about the moc, it's that my eyes have trouble making sense of that blackened area - compositionally it feels like dead space in the corner like that, but also the level of detail seems somewhat less there than the surrounding landscape - it makes for a jarring note in what is otherwise a stunning landscape. Possibly a smaller blackened area surrounded by trees would convey the same message (incompetent, possibly evil seer, etc) with a greater sense of overall harmony? Anyway, hope you don't mind my minor quibbles - this is way better than i could hope to accomplish anyway! :)

Thanks Jake, I hope to one day build a full castle in that style... Just waiting on bricks.

I have just checked out your cars, they are pretty cool - and much better than any vehicles I've made. Cheers for the compliment :)

I like these shots a lot myself, probably why I've been doing them on all my recent posts lol. They seem to add to the depth of the build. Thanks mate as always!

This isn't excellent, this is a word that hasn't been invented yet! This is amzing! I like the detail on the tower and rockwork is unbelievable. Superb job!

An woodland elf, a mermaid, and a shape shifter all meet up after being called by the order of the Mystical Realm. http://healthreviewtoday.com/bioslim-advanced-mango-formula-review.html

Although it's the details that I like in general, in this case, my absolute favourite shots are the long shots from directly above.

Superb from every aspect!

Lovely MOC! Great job with all the details you put in, I love the alien spaceship that crash landed - it's not often you see medieval / space crossover scenes!

Very good, but it's a bit too dark. Luckily you posted several detailed pics of the scenery to catch all the nice details you put into this.

WOW!Epic!!!!!

WOW!Epic!!!!!

Oh my! Umm...well, to tell the truth, I'm utterly speechless! The landscape is the best I've ever seen, and the waterfall is just...too amazingly built! Now all my (or our - my brother's and I) MOCs look like trash! Seriously, you have too much skill - can I have some? I need it! :)

Amazing! This must of took a while to build! I'm loving this, and keep up the amazing work! -DJ BONK

Thanks Jay :)

Haha that stairway... took many trial and error attempts to work out the slope angle of the outside wall. I think it turned out pretty well though myself :) Thanks Shifu!

Cheers Hans!

Thanks mate :)

Awesome!! I love all the Details!!

Please keep your spam off the pages or you will be moderated out of here. This is a Lego fan site, not a health forum.

That's it. After seeing that staircase, I swear my next MOC will use curved walls.

Stunning and Beautiful.

Those stairs are amazing! I really like the effect from the front of the UFO buried under the dirt too

A big ammount of bricks and great technics! That's a beautiful scenery!!! Kudos for that!

Amazing. I really love the turning stairs. Your way of making a scene with a forefront and elevated background with the tower, waterfall and tree is also an excellent shot.

Wow. Couldn't stop looking. Beautiful scenery, cool setting.

Haha, yeah I thought it was Mr Watkins you were referring to, was asking more for the fun of it ;)

Yeah....I'm not sure who Luke Hutchinson is! I meant Luke Watkins! Brain fart....

wow that is epic i love this keep up the good work!!

Epic surrounding for a sweet UFO crash. =) ~H

After opening the 'comment on this creation' box I decided I really don't have any words to describe this. So I hope you are confident enough in this creation that a lack of words on my part won't matter in the long run. Sincerely, Speechless MOCer

The stairs and the waterfall are masterpieces... Just talking about them. This MOC is stunning!!! I love this alien coming from nowhere and ripping the ground: this effect is very well done. Keep it up, it's not Lego at that point: its more some kind of Art.

Thank you guys for all your wonderful comments :)

I absolutely love that waterfall, great design! Awesome detail on the whole thing, the mud on the UFO crash looks really cool :) 5/5

Very cool! Love all the detail you've put into this! The crashed ship does indeed look awesome and I love that tower! Once again great work ;)

Even without a story it's really great. A crash landed space-ship in a fantasy environment is something one might not find every here and there. The waterfall and the curved stairs are amazing.

A beautiful work of art! 5/5 Keep it up!

Another masterpiece! Everything seems to be in the right place (as usual). My favorite part is the stairway!

amazing! could not see THAT coming! great design! love the mud mound the UFO caused! great design!

amazing! could not see THAT coming! great design! love the mud mound the UFO caused! great design!

Incredible! The lush greenery really makes this MOC look well rounded, and it's a great base for everything else! The tower is amazing, the use of all those studs with a dark grey rim looks fantastic! Also, nice use of elves, because elves are always cool. The curved staircase is phenomenal, and really fits with the tower. I just noticed the tower is at an angle, that's a great touch that wasn't necessary, yet makes this so much more, few people would bother with those kinds of details in a MOC this big. The alien ship caught me completely off guard, but it is perfectly rendered. The wings on the sides and the engines are my favourite parts, great work! Also, amazing job with the skid marks and partially burying the ship, it's truly awe-inspiring. The water fall is just beautiful. The rock in the middle splitting it is a fantastic effect, and the trans studs are an excellent medium. Usually I don't like moulded rock pieces being used in MOCs, but they really work by the waterfall, as the current would have eroded away the rough angles. I think this could have been improved by spending an hour and making custom minifigs for the seer, alien, and maybe some peasants, but that's a minor detail. Ultimately this is an unbelievable MOC, and a mind-blowing piece of art. Keep up the good work, not that you ever haven't, mind you.

Good heavens, man! After looking at this creation, I'm not entirely convinced that you're a human; no, you must be some sort of pan-dimensional LEGO god cast down to earth for being too creative in your own realm ;)

Wow soooo amazing!!!

Great work Thoy! The UFO was a complete suprise, and perfectly executed. Nice to see you mix it up a bit too.

Beautiful man, I think the alien thing ruins it a bit though.

I'm not sure I dig the alien, but my hat goes off to those impressive stairs. Superb work here, Thoy!

I think its around 6'500 of them, though there are only about 3'000 used in this build :) Thankyou!

I'm sure the day will come where you are all desensitised to my work :) Thanks Ian!

Yeah I was feeling a bit dejected about it myself. Glad I could still draw the masses :) Thanks dude!

Yes there are a lot of studs... but sadly there is not yet enough for a full castle :(

That would be awesome, though I feel there is a grand range of fantastic castles to compete against this year. There should be more where this came from before April :) Thanks Bart

Compared to Apocalypsis, now that's a compliment! Cheers Chris for your fantastic support right through-out the MO's too.

I have a feeling you might be correct. Looking back it would have been easy to do this with my Atlantis lego instead of the Alien Conquest stuff. Lucky for George I was a tad burnt out and went for more of a Lego set rather than a Dio. Thanks Ru!

I was originally going to have it with landing gear in a forced perspective Moc to go with what my next MO round would have been, thought it might detract too much from the actual MO though. Good question all the same ;)

No this build really was a challenge to complete, its like I had a minor case of builders block. Thanks Gio, I will have to search your Mocs to find it, I'm sure its better than you say :)

Cheers :)

Incredible!!! Your nearly insane amount of little round 1x1 peices baffles me! The build is great! Totally wasn't expecting the alien though! Great job, and awesome idea!

Thanks :)

Hmm I thought I had done that... I will double check for you :)

I'm just surprised a man of your skill hasn't delved too far into this sort of work yourself. As always, thanks mate!

Yeah a few more wouldn't have gone a miss, Cheers Deus.

Thankyou good sir! Glad it was to your taste :)

Bricklink, I havn't bought any in some time so unfortunately I can't direct you to a specific seller. Cheers!

Thanks George, my initial thought was to make this build in the same category as MO. I decided not to so it didn't detract from the actual competition.

Who is Luke Hutchinson? Hidden aliens hehe, although he's not that hidden in this Moc :) Could be the quirky Thoy thing I always include in my builds ;)

Read my comments below, its completely in place :) Thanks for the comment.

Seers get future readings and things from animal parts, this is the reason for that area being full of bones. Thanks :)

A Seer is like a soothsayer, they get readings from animal entrails and animal parts, this is the reason for the empty area full of bones. The UFO crashed is what the Seer didn't see coming in the future - as most of the people on MOCpages.

Thanks Leda, I tried to make the cobbled path move with the motion of the dirt mound, I think it worked a bit.

Thanks ORE :)

Like I've said before: your builds NEVER cease to amaze me! Great work Thoy! That stair is incredible.

That is one miffed greenie.

Amazing!

Amazing Thoy just amazing, The amount of detail packed in there is very impressive!! Oh and that's a lot of light gray and dark gray studs you have;)

That staircase is incredible! Actually, the entire MOC is quite amazing, from the humorous inclusions of aliens, etc. to the absolutely inspired landscaping that is featured throughout. The textures are nearly tangible from the mere image. Excellent work.

"Sorry if this is not the quality you were hoping for." Are you KIDDING me? This is among the top MOCs where quality is concerned.

Congrats on a grand achievement! This is going on my MOCies list!

That sir, is probably the most beautiful moc I've ever seen... and yes, I'm comparing it to Apocalypsis. The waterfall is perfect and that staircase... wow. I bow before your mastery. Thank you. ~ Chris.

Thoy, the sheer detail of this model sends it over the edge for me. You used so many studs, the texture is astounding! That half-buried alien ship is fantastic... Keep on brickin'!

Wow Thoy! This is perfect. I love everything here, especially how the dirt has covered the spacecraft. I have a feeling if you had enterd this into your last round of the MO's, your fate would have differed. Well done indeed!

This was definitely not what I was expecting, it looks great though. I especially like the burnt out forest and the large tree by the waterfall. Also the spiral stairs/ramp thing looks awesome too! Adding the alien was a perfect idea that gave it a bit of humor. Great work!

Dot... Dot... Dot...

BEAUTIFUL!... So many lovely detailed techniques! :)

Beautiful build! One thing has always puzzled me though, how come aliens always crash their ships? Don't they have landing gear?

fantastic amount of detail, a wonderful build well done.

I sincerely hope you wrote that last part with huge sarcasm, because this creation is off the charts on every level. I myself made a creation quite similar to this one a few years ago, but it will never even be worthy the shadow of this breathtaking dio. Thanks for sharing, Thoy. Keep 'em coming!

Amazing techniques. No story required for me, there's enough to look at and soak in. Loving the waterfall, very effective, and the curved steps. The crashed alien craft is done brilliantly and a great contrast to the rest of the scene.

Nice, I like the use of studs as a path

And the rest of the world goes on unnoticing :D Another amazing moc from you, I always look forward to the next one, I just love how you use so many little pieces!

I wonder how the villagers will handle their "visitor!" This is amazing landscaping; I could stare at this for hours.

Great stuff! I love the combination of the Alien technology in such a simple surrounding. Great techniques and a fantastic build as always. --Blast--

I love the scenery on this, and the UFO is brilliant, it seems a bit like your Return of the Ancients with people from space. :D Just wondering, are you going to finish your spiral stair case tutorial?

Wow! Don't add a letter, the photos speak for themselves... Really rich scene, and funny clash!

the waterfall, the tower the curved staircase just fascinating - a testament to what can be done with these little ABS bricks of ours in the hands of someone oozing creativity! Outstanding build!

That's a pretty unique "castle" themed creation you have there... You could have taken a few more pictures of the whole diorama though.

Thoy, this creation is fantastic, is very artistic, with many locations, one inside the other. The spacecraft plunged, is my favorite part. You have used many pieces and created a masterpiece of color, ideas, and techniques. Congratulations, a job to master!

OMFG best landscape ever. You my friend are the real 2011 mocolympics champion

Astunning work! //Viktor

Pretty sweet! Say, where do you purchase all your transblue tiles from?

Fantastic!

Fantastic!

I love how we've both made models about UFOs crashing into historical places :) a superb model!

This is another great build Thoy! I do love the winding staircase, and the tower is in the great style of Luke Hutchinson. I must say that between this and The Return of The Ancients, I am going to start looking for hidden aliens in all of your MOC's

What an amazing world you have created!

What an amazing world you have created!

Sweet jesus...this is amazing...my favorite parts would have to be the winding staircase (all of those studs...bricklink galore?) and the slightly submerged alien ship in the dirt: great landscaping there. Not sure about that black skeletal area though, it seems sorta out of place because it's just sitting in the corner without anything in it. But everything else is totally epic!

Great twist!The stairs are amazing;the boney area around the seer is intriguing,what happened there???;the castle is great;the crashed ship is very nice,with the skid marks and the dirt on it,and the design itself is great;and that waterfall is mindblowing!

This is an amazing diorama. Must I ask why an... alien... ship has crashed in a clearly midevial setting? And I don't understand the Seer thing... But anyways terrific landscape!

Stunning Thoy, you really are the master of landscape and waterfall design. Wonderful scene, my favourite part has to be the crash site with the massive skid and dirt up over the front of the ship. Excellent attention to detail.

It may take me awhile to post an actual comment. There's so much to look at...

I sure didn't see this coming! fantastic job I love the bridge and waterfall!

A great twist of castle and... Alien Conquest? I don't think any of us saw that one coming. Wow! Nice work!

A wonderful masterpiece! I love the waterfall especially!

Whoa.....

Wow you have quite a talent for landscaping! I'm blown away at the amount of detailing I've witnessed, very impressive! Absolutely love the crash alien ship! Great job!

Woa! No way an alien!
