Matn Posted June 8, 2008 B-V-7D This diorama I have built yesterday is for Fatherday (which is today). I'm happy with the result, but in my thoughts it would be much more impressive. I'm not thinking to break it off, because later I'm going to add trees and perhaps mountains on one side. My father was very pleased with it, it is going to stand in our living room for a few weeks. (Good) critism and tips are welcome. Oh, yes: the man with the hammer is a sentence which is said a lot in the cyclingsports: when you meet the man with the hammer you get exhausted in a short time.

Freddie Posted June 8, 2008 You know what? I had to do a double-take on that road of yours, because at first it registered in my mind as a regular road plate, until I noticed the incline. That is a very nice road! The rest is very nice as well. I suspect your father does this sort of thing, marathon-cycling and such, no? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Matn Posted June 8, 2008 Thanks. Like I said, I'm going to order pieces to make nice trees + some greenery so it looks nicer. Maybe I'll also order some helmets and cyclists to add it on the diorama. And yes, my dad's hobby is cycling and he also watches it on tv. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Adam Posted June 8, 2008 That's really cool, Matn! A from me! I like how you got the road to slope, that really is great. Good job! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Asuka Posted June 9, 2008 A very nice and lively scenery and a big hammer indeed! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Matn Posted June 9, 2008 Thanks! Is there anybody interested how the street is made? I can take pictures of it also. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pencoin Posted June 9, 2008 looks rather snotty to me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Erdbeereis Posted June 9, 2008 Very nice work! I for one would love to see how the street was made. It looks amazing! Great job! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Big T Posted June 10, 2008 I had to recheck to see that wasn't a normal road too, great job there. It looks like it's connected by one of those 1X2 with a hole and 1X2 with the small pipe bit to interconnect, am I right? Looks fantastic though, one of those MOC's that could be underrated if you don't show attention to detail. Would love to see it with more riders and the mountain scene you mentioned Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
simonwillems Posted June 10, 2008 Really nice road you made there! Those helmets (from skateboarders originally I believe) certainly do the trick as cycle helmets. When I look at that pink Team Telecom bicycle I still worship the days in my life when I decided to buy 24 of those on clearance... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Squeaker Posted June 13, 2008 That's great! You might want to use an Agents suit for an aditional cyclist, and for a couple helmets you could use the SW rebel one, it looks similar to a streamlined helmet if you know what I mean. Great road, I want to make SNOT surfaces but have a small amount of regular bricks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
medib Posted June 13, 2008 I really enjoy the construction of that road, in particular... that was pretty cool (and snotty!!!) nice job! medib. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iamded Posted June 16, 2008 This is very cool, Matn. So, how'd you do the road then? This is a very cool Father's Day gift indeed. ~Peace Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
