The Terrible Typhoon of Maes Drin

[robuko]

No-one really knows if the attack on Maes Drin was Elemental, magework, or just a freak of nature. But that tornado was very specific, it carried away only the houses of the Lord and the prettiest girl in town. What a blow for the people! But, they were unmolested after that, so they learned to live with it.

Director's note

Tablescrap, basically. My secondary idea was to make a big typhoon from trans clear, and put the whole town somewhere in it. Now I realise how hard it is to photograph, I'm glad I didn't The primary idea was much better. But I thought I would share this anyway, to add to the air elementals.

Great minds think alike, lol. My first idea was going to be a huge tornado, and have the houses situated in it like the Wizard of Oz. After building for about ten minutes I realized how difficult and part extensive it was it was going to be and rethought my idea.

I think the micro scale of it works much better for this!

Cool entry, the tornado is really neat Excellent micro-city too

Nice little micro scene!

[Rogue Angel]

Fantastic job with the microbuild here! I love the tornado - it looks so realistic and enormous. I also like the trees and the water crashing against the shore. Beautiful MOC!

[Legonardo]

Not the prettiest girl in town

nice micro!

I've always had difficulty with micro scenes. Most builds I see are very clever in their parts usage and layout, but every time I attempt it I have difficulty with scale and attempting to do something new and different.

This build achieves all of that! I can just see the huge Tsunami wave with a yawning mouth crashing over the sea wall.

Great job! Good luck!

Nice micro! Looks just as I would imagine a Kaliphlin coastal town to look like!

[Kayne]

I'm very intrigued by the coastal town...I'd love to see you make a full build of the town some time. Since we all have so much free time to just build and ignore everything else that shouldn't take long right

[de Gothia]

That is for sure one little fine micro build!! I like the curved wall the most!

[Gabe]

Hee, that's a sweet little micro build, robuko! I love the shape of the air elemental, it really looks as though it is picking up the houses in it's two enormous arms. I would have thought the locals would be more concerned about that huge wave though, especially being in such a low lying area...
