BrickCurve Posted October 13, 2014 (edited) My first attempt at quicksand. One of the many travelers of Historica, Abdahl Darak nearly meets his death in a patch of quicksand near Barqa, but is saved by his son Tirander. I would like to claim UoP credits for minifig posing and extreme environments, Quicksand, (If this is extreme enough an environment for the credit).

Sir Gareth Posted October 13, 2014 Neat build! The border and quicksand effect are both impressive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
robuko Posted October 13, 2014 Ha ha nice. If the sand doesn't get you, the scorpions will. All you need are some rodents of unusual size! UoP +1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kayne Posted October 13, 2014 I'm not sure it's been done before in GoH, so way to start something new! +1 to the UoP Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kai NRG Posted October 13, 2014 Nice little vig, on the quicksand - as a matter of fact, I don't recall ever having seen that done in LEGOs before! +1 for the UoP credits! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gedren_y Posted October 13, 2014 UoP DoH +1 I believe one other person did quicksand, but it may have been before the advent of the UoP DoH program. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Venkefedo Posted October 13, 2014 Nice vignette! Great depiction of quicksand! Ha ha nice. If the sand doesn't get you, the scorpions will. All you need are some rodents of unusual size! UoP +1 Rodents of unusual size? I don't think they exist. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Scaevola Posted October 13, 2014 Excellent technique, +1 UoP DoH for all claims Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Slegengr Posted October 13, 2014 Very cool build, BrickCurve! The quicksand is done very nicely with the cheese slopes. Nice action in the scene as well, though reality would have it that it is difficult to be killed by quicksand due to the buoyancy of a human body on the denser sand/water mixture. Of course, GoH can be more interesting at times if science is not followed exactly, so I hope I have not taken away from this build with this comment. I also particularly like the border under this build. The only critique I have on it would be that it seems a bit tall for the small, flat vignette on top of it. Brick on, BrickCurve!

Gideon Posted October 13, 2014 Definitely an extreme environment! UoP +1 I agree however that the vignette probably would have been better balanced if it was slightly bigger. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
