thewatchman Posted November 4 I absolutely love this! Very classic feel, and the sand and water look immaculate! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yperio_Bricks Posted November 4 This is almost an optical illusion where you don't know in which direction the figures are looking/moving You can only tell by the hats and footprints. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1963maniac Posted November 4 I love the look of the palm tree trunk! I've never seen that before! i was wondering what green part you used for the small plant? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alexandrina Posted November 5 This almost feels like a "what could have been" - a world where Lego's techniques developed and advanced just like the real world, but they never developed the minifigure beyond the Legoland design. It's an intriguing aesthetic. I love the beach colour scheme, reminds me of that one Paradisa baseplate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Feuer Zug Posted November 6 Quite the scene. The use of the ancient body pieces is cool. NPU with the plants as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Redhead1982 Posted November 7 This classic figures bring back memories. As a child I only had those even thogh minifigs were already available in sets (they were hard to find at that time, unlike this classic figures which were more easily available cca 10 years earlier). So, I simply imagined that figures always kept their hands in the pockets. On 11/6/2023 at 3:41 PM, Feuer Zug said: Quite the scene. The use of the ancient body pieces is cool.
