Looking for help designing a mountain MOC in LDD

[nickf21]

Hello all and thanks for taking the time to read this post.

Im looking for some help on a project im working on. Basically, Im in need for someone to design a “mountain” type MOC in LDD.

There is a requirement for some playability and for train tunnels to run through. Some basic details – size is around 4x3 standard baseplates with height around 2/3 size of the modular town hall.

 

I have a much more detailed brief that I can supply to anyone who is interested in discussing further.

I think I will be able to return the favour with compensation for the anyone’s time and if you have any examples of previous work done then this would really help with selecting someone.

 

Feel free to drop me a PM if you want to know more and hopefully I can post the results here in the forum for everyone to enjoy.

 

Thanks again for your time in reading this….

not that i can offer "full assistance" cause i aint got the time - yet since you say LDD, i can only say this:
Build a structure first using many of the same bricks which are cheap to obtain via bricklink etc. (so you know height and length of tunnel)
Build around the structure using mainly wedge plates, wedge bricks and slopes and different hinge connections. Try to make it as hollow as you can to save money, yet firm enough (hinge connectors)
I found out that building 3 -5 types of small "units" of structures on plates is quite helpful, yet you have to make sure that these units are irregular and not too "squarish".

Just go crazy wild with these!

An example i can offer i build using LDD - i used about 6 types of wedges/plates here and tried connecting them on plates wherever i could. The inside is completely hollow btw. So i think a combination between SNOT technique and studs on top technique to give you quite a good mix (without it looking to minecraft like - unless thats what you want....)
