[MOC] Sunset Surfer

[PaddyBricksplitter]

Hi all,

I did this a while ago, it's part of my Skyboarders theme inspired by Akira and Chopper. Hope ya like it.

Pretty sweet! I really like the layout in the background too, and the disk and antenna is a nice little touch. What set did the hairpiece come in, or is it custom?

Love the design. The figure is well done and the background, all futuristic, looks great. Good job my friend. :thumbup:

Sweet build! Truly a piece of art!

What set did the hairpiece come in, or is it custom?

It came in the Friends Theme hairstylist set I believe.

Really neat "surfer"!

[Commander Beltar]

Amazing build and presentation! The atmosphere you created is wonderful! I also like how the surfer stands out from the very grey background!

Thanks :)

The hair piece is from the Friends Hair Salon.

Thanks guys I was trying something new with the background and the depth of field effect. I think I'll give it another go sometime.

Great shot. Nice perspective.

Stunning scene, perfect colors. With this background all scene looks so massive and vast.

(imho a little touch of photoshop can negate fish eye effect caused by lenses: http://www.mediafire...g3u9rzl0bzg.jpg)

Thanks. I've dismantled it all apart from the surfer. There's really not much to in anyway in terms of building. The whole city fitted on to a 48x48 base plate sitting on top of my sock drawer.

The buildings in the background are just stacked plates with a few pieces added to make them interesting looking when out of focus.

The flying ships are basic builds with pink trans pieces from the pod racer star wars set as the jet trails. They are added to a stack of bricks just out of shot so they look like they are flying.

And that's it. I waited until sunset to take the picture and used a book light to illuminate the wall to make it look more like a sky.

Cool! I like very much, she's great!

I really like the background.

Thanks. I like her too. She made from Toxikita and the female samurai cmf.

Great shot. Nice perspective.

Thanks doc.

Thanks to all for looking and commenting.

Too kind guys :D
