[MOC] Urtican Wellness Center

[Cecilie]

After harsh battles, the polar warriors will retreat to this remote spa that offers a steamy sauna and a hot bath. Located near the coast it also offers the opportunity to have a cool swim after the sauna. The spa facility is guarded by elite polar warrior guards to make sure no Elken tribe warriors disturb this peaceful place.

He may be a fearsome warrior, but wrapped in his towel, he's just a normal polar bear having a good time

Cool me down! by Cecilie Fritzvold, on Flickr

The two elite guards, the siblings Erik Ursuson and Hildr Ursusdottir (and yes, sometimes they get to have a break and enjoy the spa as well )

Built for the Blitzzard contest. I had a lot of fun creating my own spin on the stronghold category. I wanted my polar bears to have something else to think about than war

I just love these polar bears so much

One word awesomeness !! *oh2*

That first picture is killing me. Best icy / water effect ive ever seen, those edges just works totally perfect !

Can i ask what colour schemes you used for the plates underneath the tiles ?

Also the hut is looking incredible.

I totally love this !

[Bob De Quatre]

And you still don't understand why you got praises??

Very great job Cecilie

[Graham Gidman]

Wow, this is just awesome. Love the icy water!

Thank you

The plates used for the water gradient are white, medium blue and blue, and all the tiles on top are trans light blue.

Very great job Cecilie

Thanks . I guess I'm just flattered

That looks awesome!

What is the bears skin made of? It doesn't look like Lego.

[Captain Braunsfeld]

Amazing design!

Thanks. I will have to use this concept in an upcoming MOC combining it with SoccerKids Ice edge effect.

This is totally brilliant! Great work, especially on the "naked" bears. I find those harder to make compared to the dressed ones. (Too bad I don't have the time to join the blitzzard again this year)

[Quarryman]

Excellent work as usual!

Looks like Duplo bearskins, can't look up the part number now, but it is LEGO.

Looking forward to seeing it

Haha, thanks! I had so much fun with my "naked" bears . Too bad you couldn't enter this time. And thanks for the frontpage!

[Blufiji]

So awesome and genius!!!

[Sorrelon]

Awesome build! The unusual size of (mini?)figures makes it all the more interesting for me

By the way, how could you separate the polar bear head from the torso? I tried to do the same for horses, but it was impossible for me.

[Cecilie]

Thank you everyone

Let's just say it's not for the faint of heart...

[LEGO_duden]

Very very cool indeed, I can see why you want more trans blue

[dzidek1983]

Water is the best here. Also the background and special effects add more to the picture.

[Spader]

That is some freakishly good detailing! I love the way you did the water, snow, and lodge! Very nice work!

[LEGO Train 12 Volts]

Delightful masterpiece!

How do you make such a beauty? :wub:

[Dead Face]

Hi

[LegoPops]

Amazing. So much fun! Those bears are great.

[dalle]

Nice! I really like the water close to the ice.
