[ENTRY] The Jellyfish Raft (Mini Set)

[MarcoLego]

Hello, I am Mark from Paris. Here is my 50 pieces miniset : "the jellyfish raft" As you can see, our pirate sailor ended up alone - after eating other survivors? Left alone with his crab friend, he's trying to send a message in a bottle... before some other beast eat him !?

Very nice :) Everything immidiately grabs attention, from our main character to his interesign sidekick and the unique style of the raft. Is that sawfish in the background part of the set as well? Or is is just part of the background. If fits with the rest pretty well actualy :) And i guess it's thinking about a revenge for it's poor cousin's demise ;) 

The only element that i think could see a change here are those carrot-colored elements of the raft, they seem out of place. Since this guy and his crat obviously went trough a lot of problems, maybe those piece could be even removed to make the raft appear a bit run-down. And by saving those piece this way, You could include that sawfish... IF it's not part of the set right now. If it is, then maybe our friend could get a spear to do some hunting, ha? Even tho, honestly, i like him the way he is, armless, kinda like a hippie on stranger tides ;)  

Other than that it's very appealing. I even like those plastic sets tho i generaly dislike modern approach to them.

Good to see Ray the Castaway managed to escape, even if it did involve inviting his friends to lunch.

Aye, a very nice entry, here are my suggestions though, first, you can't really tell what's in the set and what's not, I think if the raft and the shark (if included) just put on that blue baseplate would suffice. As for the build, I love the way the raft is built, I think the survivor could use a sword or a knife and perhaps swap the black plate with a brown one, other than this I think it looks great, anyway happy building :)

Very nice raft and nice too see that Ray took his crab friend with him when he left the island with his well constructed raft!

And welcome to the forum @MarcoLego

Wonderful little build!  I like the stories it lends itself to with the crab, the sawfish, the bottle and the backpack.

The sail construction is good, but I don't understand what the white flag is for.  Perhaps a pirate flag would be better?

And I would love to see this without Barracuda Bay in the background, just so I can judge it for itself.

I hope to see more stuff from you!

I find it a bit strange that the logs go in all 4 directions for a raft build. Also the bigger ones almost look like wheels, since they're not covered by the standing plate and it doesn't feel like they continue underneath because of the other logs. Otherwise an interesting design for a raft!

Could someone wake up this dude, to check if he still wants to run in this contest? :o What's the point of taking those pics off at the last minute?

I don't think they've been intentionally deleted.

He used Facebook as his image host...  which was a BIG MISTAKE!

Meta assigned hashes (I.e. alphanumeric strings) to image URLs which expire after about 48-72 hours.

After the hash expires the image is no longer accessible remotely.

Well, given he hasn't logged in since posting the photos, he's not really engaged in the contest.

Aye, so that's what it is :(

Nice to see that it succesfully made it into the Index and was saved from obscurity... but i still didn't get the answer to whether the sawfish is included with the set, or is it just a bonus for presentation. And this beast could be missleading to voters. I'm also unsure if it's not exceeding the said number of pieces, with or without a shark.

Hmm, he never came back to the forum since the day he joined, so I don't know how the pictures got there...
