Umbra-Manis Posted March 28, 2016 In Salida Este, on the Island of Ferro Azure It's time to pick some Cotton! The workers are picking and weeding diligently. Except for that guy. He looks like he's taking advantage of the plants' height to take a siesta. He should be hung by his toes from a palm tree. To be licensed shortly as a Small Plantation. C&C Welcome!

Garmadon Posted March 28, 2016 He should be indeed! Neat plantation Umbra, the olive (correct?) green looks good for the stalks, and that technique for cotton is great as well! My only piece of advice would be to include a little variation in the form of studs or tiles to the straight rows between the cotton plants Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kolonialbeamter Posted March 28, 2016 Looking very good. First I wasn't even sure whether this was a render or real What program(s) did you use? Seems cotton is New Terra's cash crop #1 That lazy guy is a fine addition. I hope Uncle is watching The connection between 3741 and 33291 seems a bit odd. But that's not your fault. Some nitpicking (if you care for 'realism' in digital builds): Did you use olive green for the flower stem? If so, 33291 doesn't come in that color. Both come in green, however. But maybe you used green, and my eyes are just playing tricks on me. 99780 (that you used for the base) doesn't come in reddish brown. Try not just copy-pasting the plants, but add more variety, by rotating them in different directions, and using different compositions. Also, to make minifigs look more real - and not just have them stand around - make them 'move' by rotating their body parts. Keep it up! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kai NRG Posted March 28, 2016 Very nice plantation, the use of dark brown for the mounds is great as well. I really like the olive! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Elostirion Posted March 28, 2016 Creative way for a new way to build cotton in a bigger form than we have seen to date, really well done! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blackdeathgr Posted March 28, 2016 A nice plantation. Now SLAP that sleepy worker back in line!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ayrlego Posted March 28, 2016 That is a good looking way of representing the cotton plant, different from what we've seen before. Good job! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Capt Wolf Posted March 29, 2016 I like how you've represented the furrows in the ground, and the technique to add plant stems on top of plant stems is very clever. Well done! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Puvel Posted March 29, 2016 Hehe excellent story! Very cool build as well, the soil looks great Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bregir Posted March 29, 2016 Nice little patch of Cotton, Umbra-Manis. I think I prefer this way of representing cotton, as it makes the plants somewhat taller. Well done! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TitusV Posted March 31, 2016 Altough we've seen many plantations, I still like them! Good job! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Dee Posted April 2, 2016 I like this cotton plant design; too bad the parts don't all come in the right colors to actually build it. It does make for a nice little plantation scene. Keep it up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
