amazing piece par, the lighting is enriching this at a pitch!

I love the window area!

Very nice. I like the windows!

I wish we lived close by - how I'd love to see your work up close and personal! Another excellent presentation! Do you ever get tired of the praise?

What an amazing and well built tavern. Love all the choice tile arrangement and colours. The entrance is very inviting and I think I will go and have a pint or two. CHEERS DUDE..

This is such a great build. This kind of build makes you want to be minifigure. By the way the windows in the front give it a very cozy pub look Alex.-cheers

Amazing details

that is awsome

Haha, awesome, so that's a fantasy book? Sounds interesting. Glad to have captured the moment for ya :) Cheers Aidan.

Reminds me of "A Song of Ice and Fire," series, in which a general does almost exactly this, and is quite close to how I pictured the scene.

lots o detail!

Thanx mate, hate to argue with a friend, but you will also find that while fire-arms existed in the 1500's, they were not so common that a trumped up warlord would not still enlist soldiers that carried shields. People wore full plate armor in the 16th century, the Austrians were especially famous for their full plate barded warhorses and suits of armor during a busy era spent fight the barbaric turks. I have been to an Austrian Knights display and seen 16th century shields with shot holes through them and it was very interesting seeing such transitional evidence in front of me like that. Cheers mate...

16th century arms and armor http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=Display+Armor&qpvt=16th+century+arms+and+armor&FORM=RESTAB#x0y0

Fact: Shields had all but vanished from military arsenals by the 16th century due to the advent of the arquebus in the late 1400s. Nonetheless, this is still very awesome. Keep up the good work.

Love the pattern on the flooring there, just has that right mood to the whole place that makes it great! -Ultra

Thanx bud, exactly what I was hoping for :)

Hehe, too right. A pub is menat to be somewhere a bloke can retreat to grumble about how rough the world is, not be judged by his hairstyle and shirt! Bright modern pubs are for yuppies!

Hehe, I kind of am known for sci-fi, but am really rather a castle nut myself. I just tend to steer away from these types of builds cos they seem unoriginal to me, everyone else is doing them. But you know what hey say, if you can't beat them, join them! lol...

Hehe, no, but plenty of mead, wine or ale!

Haha, cheers mate, yeh yellow seems to be OUT, lol. Will do, I actually already have a follow up in mind. Cheers my good friend...

Thanx heaps Paula, considering your first Moc, that is very encouraging to hear indeed :)

Great scene - there's a lot of atmosphere here. Any chance of a G+T ?

I think this is one of your best MOCs ever mate. I know, I'm a castle maniac, but the building and the pics are truly amazing. Congrats!

Dark and Dingy - just how I like my pubs :). Some excellent and detailed scenes. I especially like the lamp post and walls

Wait, a Parrington MOC with no blue or yellow? That's like a Shifu MOC with no black! =P Whatever you did, keep doing it, this looks great!~H

Such a lovely MOC. The whole of the atmosphere is stunning. :P

Wow! I love it. Excellent work inside and out. Nice photos :)

Cheers D', yeh it was the original Moc that front, and I was happy enough with it to build the interior just so that there'd be nice backgrounds visible through the windows! Then I figured I might as well go all the way and make the interior vig worth if you will itself. Bout time I did a nice interior like you guys do!

Hehe, yeh, it's funny I found that in its original cardboard packaging in a minifig tub of mine and thought, hmm, what's this. As soon as I saw it, I thought, cool, floor rug, hahaha... Cheers...

Hehe, borrow away! Mate thanx, I'll likely follow it up with something in a similar vein. Cheers :)

nice work.

Fantastic work my friend, I love the wall texture!

what a Super job ! I am not really worthy of commenting on such a delicacy, I`m more of a wall, battlement & standing room only type lego man. Your Knights Lion shields are well placed on this creation !>.....well done.

Wonderful job here Parrington. :D Lovely work.

Perhaps the best accessory is the floor mat. Cool arse MOC!

Good stuff again Parrinington. Great pics with some nice lighting, love teh entrance to the tavern.

Malaka, VERY nice texturing. A warm, lived in, atmosphere comes through strongly.

Awesome lighting! Sweet Colours and some cool photos, I love it! All the little details, the size, the bar, are all great too!

So deliciously detailed in nature! The lighting effect sets the perfect atmosphere. Oh... there must be a story here somewhere! :)

Oooh, this good! I really like the lighting.

I love how the bar turned out, well done!

It's good to know that I can influence you. Now, gimme all your money.

Great job on this one Bro. It does look very realistic and you can just feel the words coming off the page if there were any. The lighting is awesome, because you gave it that misty look coming from the outside. Very well done bud and looking forward to the next installment.

Note to self. Steal brick wall design. ~ Chris.

Great set here, Chief! That contrast on the outside is perfect, and the shot of the bartender couldn't be more realistic! I'm hoping this will appear at the next port in your series, but if not, maybe I can borrow it? Well done, Dude!

G'day Tyler! Yeh, they are from a H.Potter set a while back that had a werewolf in it and snowy hide away or something. I can't remember the set no, and having not seen any of the movies can't really think of any better clues to point towards. Hope that helps? And yeh, they are my fave Lego window piece by far, I've been trying to get more for ages but hard to find. The set came with two... Cheers mate :)

The street lamp really was a fun accident, I actually had built that while absent midedly muckign around with tables scraps and thought, hey why not build a neat vig exterior for it, before I knew it I had built the entire interior! Thanks mate..

Hehe, nah, Barto's BSG only, lol... I'm glad to have gotten atmosphere unanomously right for a change, lol...

Fantastic! The MOC is excellent, and I like the little details like the street lamp. I also really like the smoky atmosphere, great work!

This is excellent! What are those two window pieces on the front? I ve never seen them before.

Oh! What really takes the cake for me, is that cool streetlamp. That's some nice parts usage!

Come on, be honest, you've ordered these pictures from Barto! :-P Haha. Really fancy stuff, here. The atmosphere created by the lighting and the outstanding building is incredible. Can almost hear them figuring out a conspiracy or an attack plan! ~Cheers

Thanx Thoy! Yeh, I was wondering if I have become to stereo typed by my own hand so I am trying to be abit different for a while. SO glad to hear such a comment. Thanks.

Hehe, I tend to have that effect on people when I do something right, lol. Thanks Thor, yeh in truth your comments on my last Moc really got me thinking. And as I uploaded these, part of me was screaming (Enrich the color, enrich the color... but then I forced myself to just try and see how people respond to these. So far so goo, I was really wonderign what you would think of these, so I guess I'm on the right track ;) Cheers mate...

Cheers Jon, yeh I just stacked em loose and they worked out quite well :)

I agree with Thor. These photos are incredible, the build is incredible - and somewhat modernised in comparison to your usual space builds. Really cool. ~Thoy

Huh, are you the same Parrington? These photos are awesome, so atmospheric and very well illuminated. Also they are not yellow anymore and you don't have any lansflares in it (lensflares are so 90s, haha). Wonderful MOC, wonderful pictures.

Very cool photos indeed! That exterior wall is brilliant, and you certainly achieved the dingy smokey look in the photos - exquisite :)
