just2good Posted July 27, 2010 Posted July 27, 2010 Wow. That's a pretty lovely looking MOC you got there anna! It looks like it was hard to make! Quote
lightningtiger Posted July 27, 2010 Posted July 27, 2010 Excellent balloon 'anna' - nice scenery too ! But I thought Jules Verne stuff goes in the sci-fi forum ? Anyway it's a sweet looking balloon, nice background and hut as well ! Great work 'anna' and I'm a conformist! ! Quote

General Redwater Posted July 27, 2010 Posted July 27, 2010 (edited) Amazing balloon! When I saw this, I was amazed at the size of it. The hut looks good too, and the use of the toy soldier stands as part of the pond looks great! - General Redwater Edited July 27, 2010 by General Redwater Quote
BlueBard Posted July 27, 2010 Posted July 27, 2010 As I already said at flickr, brilliant balloon, miss! Quote
XimenaPaulina Posted July 28, 2010 Posted July 28, 2010 What a humoungous balloon, amazing work anna! I could just imagine how heavy that thing is considering the numerous bricks you used. The details below are pretty neat as well. Quote
castlestrike666 Posted July 28, 2010 Posted July 28, 2010 (edited) It looks a little crowdy. Too bad you didn't make it a little bit bigger to have a more peaceful impression. But, nonetheless, this looks really amazing. I very much like the shape of the balloon! Great job! And I like the way you made the trees with those palm leaves. Nice touch!

BrickClick Posted July 28, 2010 Posted July 28, 2010 Excellent MOC anna! The balloon is stunning Quote
Fires-storm Posted July 28, 2010 Posted July 28, 2010 An amazing job to be sure anna! Some of my favorite details are the landscaping, and the detailing on the cliff's side. Oh, and of course, the freaking amazing and gorgeous balloon Quote
Tycho McKorley Posted July 28, 2010 Posted July 28, 2010 Impressive, impressive work. I think sculpting round shapes out of Lego bricks is difficult (I've only ever succeeded in making a basic dome) and so I'm in awe about what you've done here. Do you have any suggestions about how you made it? Quote

Do you have any suggestions about how you made it? thank you all for your comments Suggestions: Start in the center and make stairs with thin plates. It takes a progressive degradation. It is also necessary to attach the plates to the back so that the structure is solid. The easiest way to get a good shape is to trace a leaf on the desired profile and to check whether the placement of bricks that form follows well. Sorry for my broken English. Quote
Davey Posted July 29, 2010 Posted July 29, 2010 The balloon of Jules Verne Comments are welcome! Lovely balloon work Anna! You have managed to capture the organic shape of the hot-air balloon quite well. The scene is instantly recognizable. The design of the basket is also very well done. But I think what really brings this together is the scene design and all of the landscaping you did. Great detail there that just makes the MOC "pop". Well done and keep up the great work! -Davey Quote
