mrcp6d Posted December 14, 2014 Every year in early winter Mitgardians gather to feast, drink, and watch one of their national sports, mountain bobsled racing. For the past 20 years, the Forest Freaks have guided their green machine down the Mitgard Mountain slopes to victory. This year however, the Red Racers have been a bright crimson blur against the snow and may just take down the experienced dynasty. My first build for the CCC this year. This was a lot of fun with the fig posing and the off-the-grid sloping. I'm not sure how that happened so beautifully, there aren't any gaps at the junctions! A couple more shots on Flickr As always, C&C is appreciated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kabel Posted December 14, 2014 This is really cool and your slope looks just perfect, something I really have to get myself at building too! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mccoyed Posted December 15, 2014 Awesome. So much fun in this build and you managed to fit in a lot of stuff without the build feeling too busy. I think the standout feature here is that snowy slope, but I really like those observation balconies. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Garmadon Posted December 15, 2014 Awesome build Mrcp6d, excellent snow-covered slope, and great work with the sleds, fig-posing, trees, colors, and stands; I'm rooting for the dynasty! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

soccerkid6 Posted December 16, 2014 Such a brilliant concept and flawless execution The little spectator stands are my favorite, especially how so many are waving flags for their favorite team (nice use of a feather for a small piece of cloth too) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MassEditor Posted December 18, 2014 Brilliant build! This is really expert work, the sloping is fantastic and I really like how lively this scene is. Like mccoyed said, a lot packed in here without looking over the top. The cape on the last bobsledder is a great touch! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Disco86 Posted December 19, 2014 I have seen this at classic-castle.com when I posted my entry to this category yesterday and I was suprised about that creative idea. And you are right, it turned out excellent, the building technique is well thought and even better executed. If we really want to nitpick something, the snow at the front wall is too blocky. Good luck with your entry, hope some more are coming ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
