astute Posted April 26 Posted April 26 King Kahuka has been living on the Forbidden Island since 1989. Since then the town has evolved a bit, but it's still as lush as ever! The living huts and communal hut are based on real Maori and pacific islander huts. Quote
Mr. Townsend Posted April 26 Posted April 26 Love it! It’s so vibrant and fun. I love seeing those islander sails because I had the set they came in when I was a kid. You’ve done a great job putting a bunch of small stories in the build. Quote
Sebeus I Posted April 27 Posted April 27 (edited) Nicely done, you've captured the classic look while still presenting a technically modern creation. I like the huts and the rocks, painting an interesting panoramic silhouette. Edited April 27 by Sebeus I Quote
SpacePolice89 Posted April 27 Posted April 27 I like your build very much. There are so many cool details to look at. This reminds me of the pictures from the old catalogs. Quote
SBCMayor Posted April 27 Posted April 27 Love it! I love the mix of the newer building technique with the vintage sails and mini figures! Quote
SevenDeadlyStreamers Posted April 28 Posted April 28 Incredible work Matey! May I ask if you are able to estimate how many piece you used? I love the Islanders subtheme! Quote
Jack Sassy Posted April 28 Posted April 28 A lovely model. There are so many little details to take in and this MOC scratches that occasional Islander itch I often have. Yer minimalistic approach to terrain is a lovely standout too. An astounding job! Quote
astute Posted April 28 Author Posted April 28 Thank you so much for the kind words. I love this theme, and appreciate Pacific Islander culture. On the question on how many elements, I am not sure. Only the water part was designed digitally. Quote
Alexandrina Posted April 28 Posted April 28 I really like this! Oddly my eye is mostly drawn to the wave effect you've got going on on the sea. Trans-clear cheese slopes, unless my eyes are misleading me? I love it when something that's so simple ends up looking so good. Quote
Franco Clarke Posted May 3 Posted May 3 Lovely build, great amalgamation of the classic designs and modern building techniques and colours. Quote
Legostein Posted May 7 Posted May 7 Very cool catamaran and additional canoes! I also appreciate that you looked for suitable minifigure to fit into the theme. Cheers, ~ Chris Quote
