hippotam Posted September 22, 2008 Vig. 17d Hi! Here's a quick one. I build a raft for a larger diorama, but it didn't really fit there. I liked it though, so I assembled this quick vignette: Fire on the deck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zorro Posted September 22, 2008 Nice ! I hope he can swim Much detail! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mister Phes Posted September 22, 2008 Hippotam, I never realised you were such a talented builder! Quite obviously I should get out of this Pirate Forum more often! That water effect looks very interesting, is there a layer of 2x2 bricks and then something occupying the interior? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks, You might not see any of my creations because I just build very, very rarely. The water is just a block of 1x2 and 2x2 transparent blue bricks, nothing else. It looks better live, it gives a nice reflection effect. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
samthelegoman1 Posted September 23, 2008 That is one of the most useful heads EVER Good MOC, by the way! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Zuloo Posted September 23, 2008 Fantastic. There is nothing else to say but fantastic. The plam tree trunks are very inventive. I hope to see more of you on the forum. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fluyt Posted September 23, 2008 Good moc, I actually had the same idea of using palmtree trunks for a raft a while ago, but I couldn't get it to look right (as in: something that looks like it was built on an uninhabited island with minimal tools), but yours does look great.

WhiteFang Posted September 23, 2008 Using the palm tree to create 4 sections by making use of green vine and chain to tie them up is an innovative technique to illustrate a raft. With the fire added into it and the pirate scared face, it turns out to be good. In addition, the ocean vig looks nice with these trans-blue bricks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mister Phes Posted September 23, 2008 The water is just a block of 1x2 and 2x2 transparent blue bricks, nothing else. It looks better live, it gives a nice reflection effect. It certainly produces a nice effect even in the pictures. I think this is also the first time I've seen the use of a green vine to strap a raft together and it appears to working very well. Despite being a small creation there's a lot of interesting techniques in play here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Blackmoor Posted October 9, 2008 Very cool MOC! Like the other guys I like the palm chunks and the water. The raft is very detailed and that scared pirate makes it a very good looking MOC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lego12 Posted October 9, 2008 I like the raft and the color of the water is lovely....I like the vines and chains on the boat. I have some of those transparent blue bricks, but not enough...good MOC, though. Lego12 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
