LegoJalex Posted January 24, 2015 (edited) When I was taking a walk one afternoon I saw this caravan on the side of the road, and got then inspired to build it in LEGO. Edited January 24, 2015 by LegoJalex Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lightningtiger Posted January 24, 2015 AWESOME 40 plus year old caravan 'LegoJalex'......the windows and blue strip sell it. Brick On 'LegoJalex' ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ex cinno Posted January 24, 2015 Nice work, a small space faithfully reconstructed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chilis Posted January 24, 2015 Like it, I really love abandoned buildings, vehicles, ships etc. This one is not looking abondoned but it´s a cool and authentic build! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jfbat Posted January 24, 2015 Great diorama with some neat tricks to give it a bit more perspective! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ReplicaOfLife Posted January 25, 2015 Very neat, I dig how you used a microscale build to evoke the impression of depth! The caravan itself also looks very realistic, though it rather looks like an old, parked caravan than one that was really abandoned. Some minor details (some shrubbery around it, license plate missing or hanging askew, some brown spots to simulate rust) might add to the feel of abandonment.

greg3 Posted January 25, 2015 Nice caravan but it's the forced perspective buildings that I like the most here - really well done and effective!! Excellent work!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gongoro73 Posted January 25, 2015 Fantastic work. Amazing background. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gabor Posted January 25, 2015 I like it very much! The microscale background is superb, too! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LegoJalex Posted January 25, 2015 Thanks for your comments! I agree that some of you think it does not look abandoned... And I think even in reality it wasn't abandoned. Actually I changed the MOC-title to "Caravan in snow" now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Braunsfeld Posted January 25, 2015 Good scene. Well observed and well created! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bornin1980something Posted January 25, 2015 Wow! This is the most atmospheric Lego image I have seen since the catalogues of the early 90s. Every time I look at your image I discover something new. Incredible use of force perspective, down to the use of small cones to represent an entire town. The caravan itself reminds me of a 1970-something caravan I stayed in at church youth camps between 2004 and 2006. The orange and brown curtain in the rear window really gives the caravan a 70s feel, and also gives it a sense of mystery; just what is inside this old vehicle? Do you have a photograph the actual caravan you based this model on to show us? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GI_Jack Posted January 25, 2015 Can you please post more pictures? I would like to see the inside of it too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bornin1980something Posted January 26, 2015 Oops, l wasn't asking for actual interior shots. I was just commenting on how the model conveyed a sense of mystery (as an artwork). That said, other exterior detail shots and an old caravan interior (perhaps a separate model) would be interesting. I look forward to your next scene. By the way, it seems your attempt to rename the thread didn't work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kristel Posted January 26, 2015 Great caravan and perspective! I also like the 'snow' on the tree. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hoexbroe Posted January 26, 2015 Really lovely scene. Good use of forced perspective! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gazumpty Posted January 26, 2015 love this scene...great details and perspective work really ties it all together! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BrickRally217 Posted January 26, 2015 You nailed the perspective building technique! The caravan itself is awesome too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
snaillad Posted January 26, 2015 Excellent scene, the caravan is very well done, I like the tree and that forced perspective is top notch work! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LegoJalex Posted January 27, 2015 Thanks everyone! Do you have a photograph the actual caravan you based this model on to show us? I have, but haven't uploaded it anywhere yet. Maybe I will later on :) Can you please post more pictures? I would like to see the inside of it too. There is nothing to see inside, it is just empty. By the way, it seems your attempt to rename the thread didn't work. Yeah, it seems like I can't change the title of the thread afterwards? I can't find anywhere to change it.
