-JD- Posted May 7, 2009 I love the technique you used for the river. That is a very nice parrot in the tree too! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
soc399 Posted May 7, 2009 Nice! I like the brick-built bird, and using epaulettes as water is very innovative. How many did it take? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Erdbeereis Posted May 7, 2009 Thanks guys! This was mainly built to try out the epaulette river idea. It took all that I have, around 75 blue epaulettes to do this. You wouldn't want to have to make a whole ocean out of them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Captain Blackmoor Posted May 8, 2009 The first thing I saw was the unique technique you've used on the water. It is very smart and it looks great. The beards as fishies is nice as well. You've also done a great job on the landscaping and the parrot in the tree. Keep it up! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guss Posted May 8, 2009 what an original technique for the river Erdi ^^ it looks very nice but if you move your vignette it must fall everywhere! anyway that's a really nice and peaceful vignette , great job ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fluyt Posted May 8, 2009 You cheated!, I see a flipper Very original idea, I would have never thought of that, and it looks good as well . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lordofdragonss Posted May 8, 2009 He must kill a lot of generals to make this wicked river xD Great job man! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Zuloo Posted May 8, 2009 Well done Ice Cream! Your wonderful technique in the water is really an eye catcher. Excellent piece of work matey! Thank you for sharing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Admiral Croissant Posted May 8, 2009 swimming beards and an epaulette sea! I must be dreaming, but it's a nice dream, wish I would have so many epaulettes Good idea to make water like this (and fishes ) But indeed, you can only make a small river with them Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Erdbeereis Posted May 8, 2009 what an original technique for the river Erdi ^^ it looks very nice but if you move your vignette it must fall everywhere! anyway that's a really nice and peaceful vignette , great job ! Thanks everyone! The epaulettes actually don't fall off too badly, except for the ones on the edges. For the most part they stay put. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BlueBard Posted May 8, 2009 Charming scene! Really like the river technique (quite clever! but I would have add some white epaulettes too for the impression of movement) and of course, I love what you did with the legs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Erdbeereis Posted May 8, 2009 The beards actually were supposed to be the current running through, but it didn't turn out quite how I hoped. I would probably use white epaulettes next time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Blackmoor Posted May 8, 2009 The beards look like fat fishies, it can be the current as well. Let it up to your imagnation! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Erdbeereis Posted May 8, 2009 Exactly, if you want them to be fish, go right ahead. That's the beauty of imagination. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sinoxp Posted May 8, 2009 (edited) Wow, this is an incredibly creative MOC. With so many MOCs built SNOT style these days, this totally refreshes the idea for what an ideal Lego creation can be! Edited May 8, 2009 by sinoxp Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
