The Fall

[Perterz]

After a first concept MOC of a treehouse for my eventual diorama I completed another one, a waterfall this time.

Some of you might remember the first wip pictures of the diorama featuring a fall, people recommended the use of transparant plates but didn't have any. Meanwhile a crapload of transparant plates are in my possesion and I experimented with them. This MOC is the result, a small natural diorama. I've added some minifigs to complete it, the starving peasant is lucky to come across this little party in the middle of the jungle and profits some fish and water to drink :)

Lovely MOC Perterz.

The rocks, plants and water are all beautiful. Your waterfall is also excellent, it reminds me of the waterfall I made once for a Japanese Garden MOC:

I really enjoyed seeing this, keep up the great work!

really nice little scene^^ I like the waterfall/plant area too ! nice job!

Thanks for your kind words. That's a great fall Erdbeereis, seems like this technique is common used, are the transparent plates on teh lower part build on a blue plate?

Sidenote: I've added the link to the Brickshelf gallery in the first post ^^

Yes, a blue baseplate with trans-clear on top. If you're interested, here's a link to the whole MOC. Link.

This is a very nice waterfall, by the forest. I enjoyed viewing these kind of landscaping, which makes me staring at it with a peaceful mind. Somehow, I feel that this portion of your moc is the beginning of something larger.

Great waterfall. I especially like how you showed the foam and sense of movement in the stream by mixing the different blues and white.

I love the way the waterfall is positioned on a corner. It makes it look especially well done.

Your diorama is excellent! You've used the space especially well and the water looks amazing!

I like it. Very good detail on the waterfall and water.

I'm glad it has the same effect on you as it has on myself I really enjoy making landscapes since all I see here outside are houses and roads, roads, roads

It is actually the beginning of a large® diorama I'm working on for almost 2 months now, a week ago I restarted again and now I'm getting happy with the way it's evolving. I need to cut down on the flora around the buildings or there will be no more room for the buildings themselves. I'm limited in space tho there's a bit more space left to enlarge the diorama a bit more, in the end I probably end up with twice the size than planned. It's a good thing to know yourself

Thanks a lot for the comments!
