sander1992 Posted December 18, 2015 Hello all, I have built a small creation based on the Aquazone series from 1995-1996. The landscape is 48x48 tall and it contains several sets from the series. I tried to create the landscape according to the pictures from the catalogs from that time. I used a lot of blue slopes and modified bricks to create the rocks. The landscape was also shown at a small event Megabricks in the Netherlands. A few pictures of the landscape. Here a picture from another angle. Next pictures gives a better look of the base and the surroundings. I also used a few lights in the caves. The next picture shows the light in one cave. More pictures are on my Flickr account. https://www.flickr.com/photos/137652851@N07/albums/72157662307102771/with/23692977991/ The pictures are also on my Brickshelf account. http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=560837 Questions and comments are welcome.

Lyichir Posted December 19, 2015 Very interesting MOC! The landscaping is top-notch (calling to mind basaltic columns or similar crystalline structures). But with all the various subs in close quarters, it can't help but feel a little cluttered. I don't know what the best solution to that would be, other than to increase the size of the base (probably more difficult than it's worth) or to decrease the number of subs.

LegoPercyJ Posted December 19, 2015 I like it! It has a classic lego feel to it. Great job! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

About the subs, I have the same feeling. I thought I was exaggerating a bit. I like it! It has a classic lego feel to it. Great job! Thanks. It was shown at Megabrick in the Netherlands. A lot of people said the same thing during the event. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gamejutzu Posted December 20, 2015 (edited) I have built a small creation based on the Aquazone series from 1995-1996. a small creation small ... I wonder what your bigger builds will look like... Gives me a reason to stick around But really though, great work on the build! It feels so vast and detailed that Someone could make a stop motion on it! But as said already, it feels a bit cluttered. I don't honestly know what the solution to that is. It's still phenomenal nonetheless. Edited December 20, 2015 by gamejutzu Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sander1992 Posted December 20, 2015 ... I wonder what your bigger builds will look like... Gives me a reason to stick around When I built something the minimum size is mostly 48x48. Several other builts are bigger. A few examples. http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=553473 http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=560054 But really though, great work on the build! It feels so vast and detailed that Someone could make a stop motion on it!But as said already, it feels a bit cluttered. I don't honestly know what the solution to that is. It's still phenomenal nonetheless. Thanks. The old pictures from catalogs helped me a lot to build this landscape. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pimbo Posted December 21, 2015 Awesome, and just in time for the end of the Aquazone 20th year anniversary! We need more Aquazone! I saw a similar blue brickbuilt underwater scene at Brickmania Antwerp last month - by Sebeus if I'm not mistaken - indeed it really fits the Aquazone scenery like they had in the catalogs really well. Somehow there's always a mysterious underwater cave - it's just the underwater explorer inside all of us! The lighting is a very nice touch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thank you. It is indeed the 20th anniversary of Aquazone. I never realized it. I have seen the pictures of Sebeus' creation. It is a very nice built. Somehow there's always a mysterious underwater cave - it's just the underwater explorer inside all of us! The lighting is a very nice touch. you're right. A cave is needed for us to explore.

Mr Greeble Posted December 23, 2015 The blue works surprisingly well here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KlodsBrik Posted December 28, 2015 This is looking very good. As Mr Greeble says, the blue works extremely well the way it have been build up blockyísh. That station on the top of the MOC looks very good as well. Great work here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sander1992 Posted January 3, 2016 Thank you both. I actually lost inspiration for the base. I am glad you like it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
