Kai NRG Posted April 18, 2015 Deep in the badlands of Kaliphlin, a gang of Ulandian sympatizers stumble across a bit of a pumping apparatus used by the Desert King to squeeze money out of the land itself. Filled with righteous indignation, the group set it alight and beat a hasty retreat! I wanted to try out a slightly new style of sand with the slopes going every which way, let me know what you think! Thanks for looking! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Garmadon Posted April 18, 2015 Excellent build Kai, I really like the sand here! Fantastic job on the micro-pumping apparatus as well! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Blufiji Posted April 18, 2015 Looks good. I take it your going for the distant sand dune looking effect? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

soccerkid6 Posted April 20, 2015 Great fire and smoke effects (I feel like I've been saying that on a lot of Ch. IV builds ) Neat sand design too Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kai NRG Posted April 21, 2015 Thank guys! Looks good. I take it your going for the distant sand dune looking effect? Something of the sort. I'm actually thinking it might not be too bad at minifigure scale... maybe I'll try it out when the rest of my slopes arrive! Great fire and smoke effects (I feel like I've been saying that on a lot of Ch. IV builds ) Neat sand design too It's the classic form of destruction! Thank you!

Robin Creations Posted April 21, 2015 Great micro-dunes and I love that fire and smoke Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mrcp6d Posted April 22, 2015 I'm not sure the straight slopes work for me here. Maybe the curved ones would work better? Great fire and smoke effects (I feel like I've been saying that on a lot of Ch. IV builds ) There is a lot of that going around lately! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Dee Posted April 22, 2015 Enlarging this to "normal" scale would create some truly gigantic flames but then I suppose that's just what you wanted. I'll echo everyone else in saying that the smoke is excellent - specifically the graduall fading of color from jet black to the different greys. The sand looks a little too angular to my eyes but then microscale tends to exaggerate rigid features anyway. "Righteous indignation" - Ha! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't have very many curved slopes (2, to be precise!), but those might work better!
