Angeli Posted May 8, 2020 Posted May 8, 2020 as I kid, I loved Smurfs And while searching for a new IP for a new 1x2 diorama, I saw Smurfs minifigs made by (I think) Megablocks. Now, I am LEGO puritan, I don't even use amazing minifig accesories made by AFOLs - because I want, when visitor look at my creation, to know it is 100% original LEGO ...but then I saw those minifigs, and I loved them. I tried making Smurfs from original LEGO, but I needed hundred of them, and it was expencive, and not so good looking. I also contatced a friend who made that famous Smurfs diorama with custom made LEGO-like minifigs, but they were not selling, only giving as a present - but a handfull, and I needed hundred(s). Then I ordered those from internet, and incorporated them in LEGO diorama The rusult was so awesoem (to me, and visitors), that I was a step for doing it again with Minions, but I decided one sacrilige is enough for one lifetime :) And look at the miracle, the original LEGO Minions are coming this year (if not already out:) Here is my Smurf village: Quote
Vindicare Posted May 9, 2020 Posted May 9, 2020 What a fun little build. I like the different mushrooms scattered around, along with the trans flowers. The landscape is nice, the little stream area is a nice touch to break things up a bit. Now this has me wishing we’d see Smurfs. I always loved that show. Quote
Angeli Posted May 9, 2020 Author Posted May 9, 2020 kids love diorama when on events. It is so accepted, that we stopped putting "not real lego" remarks when talking about it (we love to interact with visitors on events). It was so well received that I even brought it on professional events, and nobody bet an eye, other thet it looks nice. This got me really thinking about possibility of actually combining LEGO with other things - not clonned products or cloned type of bricks, but clay, wood, plasteline, paper and similar, for artistic touch It is a pitty I am not much of an artist outside of the LEGO brick, so I can't experiment, but I have few people in club who are, and when this situation with pandemic tunes down, we will try to build something together, mixing our hobbies Quote
