Blake Baer Posted August 12, 2011 (edited) A tornado touching down in a scenic landscape. As seen at Brickfair. This was built in approximately 4 hours. I had the general design down already though. I hope that you like it! Comments/suggestions/criticisms are all welcome to me! Thanks. Edited August 12, 2011 by Blake Baer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lightningtiger Posted August 12, 2011 A highly original idea 'Blake Baer', neat little micro-rural landscape and that's one big twister touching down. Brick On 'Blake Baer' and hold on to your hat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
L@go Posted August 12, 2011 I've seen this, I think it was in Nannan's walkthrough from BrickFair, and I immediately liked it. There are some genuinely nice details here, like those books for roofs and the hair pieces for trees (which I've seen done before, but it still looks great). And the twister itself is fantastic, with all those items stuck to it. No criticism from me, that's for sure :) Well done! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dan the Brickman Posted August 13, 2011 That is pretty original. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hinckley Posted August 13, 2011 I have dubbed this an RCUP (Ridiculously Clever Use of Parts) Thanks for sharing your awesome creation with us. I've blogged it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skipper Posted August 13, 2011 Great idea, as Hinckley said NPU RCUP. The little bits of houses and trees being swept away are a nice touch . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sonicstarlight Posted August 13, 2011 I'm usually not wowed by microscale stuff, but I am really impressed with this one! I admit that I have never seen books used as roofs like that, and despite the relative simplicity of the tornado itself the effect is very convincing.

LEGO Guy Bri Posted August 13, 2011 Wow, this is really cool! Great job on the tornado. What is it F3, 4...5? Great idea to use books as a roofs. Definitely a very neat idea to build Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HighFlyer Posted September 4, 2011 Wow, this is an outstanding original idea, I love the micro-scene of the surrounding countryside which uses a RCUP (as Hinckley said ). Great job! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
