Legopard Posted December 10, 2013 (edited) [pid][/pid] 243B Hello Pirate Forum Building organic water with the bricks is always a challenge. I tried to solve this challenge with a new technique: Based on 1x1 Tiles with Clip + 1x2 trans Tiles. But the water alone was a bit boring so i added some plants, a bamboo hut and details. ;) More pictures you can find like always on flickr and MOCpages. I hope you enjoy it!

Capt. Stabbin Posted December 10, 2013 Great job, excellent details! I really like your water technique, ingenious! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MKJoshA Posted December 10, 2013 Wow. Just wow. I have lots of those trans-plates so I guess I need to get some more clips so I can use this! Great technique! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sebeus I Posted December 10, 2013 Lovely built, the water look great though it's a technique I won't use easely, I don't think I can bring myself to use clip tiles like that . I like the monkey hanging from a leaf, nicely done. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Darkdragon Posted December 10, 2013 The whole build is beautiful. Every technique here just makes this look alive. Excellent work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LordLEGOtube Posted December 10, 2013 how does all the water stay together as one piece? or does it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Piranha Posted December 10, 2013 That is amazing, I like the smooth glossy water look you managed to capture with that technique. I also think the thatched roof is ingenious. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

2maxwell Posted December 11, 2013 Im a little ashamed at how long it took me to actually figure out how this technique worked, haha. But this is awesome. Not just the water, but the whole thing. I really like this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hobbythom Posted December 11, 2013 Simply amazing! The MOC is one of the best I've ever seen! I can't figure out how the water stays together though... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Paddi Posted December 12, 2013 Hi Jonas, nice water tehnique, really like it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LegoPanda Posted December 13, 2013 i love it, the water technique is amazing, and the water pipe is also a funny detail. where does the blue parrot come from, some belville set? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheLazyChicken Posted December 14, 2013 Holy cow! That is awesome! So many details! I love it! Keep up the good work! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Freddy Bricker Posted December 14, 2013 Woah great moc! May I ask where you got those bamboo elements? Are those third party items or did Lego create such beauties? If they are official Lego, I may just have to pick some up myself! Good job either way, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Legopard Posted December 14, 2013 Hello everyone Thank you very much for the kind words. I'm glad you like it. how does all the water stay together as one piece? or does it? Yes, it stays together. One clip always connect two tiles. (Just take one of these clips in real life and two tiles and you will figure out how it works. ) i love it, the water technique is amazing, and the water pipe is also a funny detail. where does the blue parrot come from, some belville set? Yes, the bird was in two different Belville Sets. Woah great moc! May I ask where you got those bamboo elements? Are those third party items or did Lego create such beauties? If they are official Lego, I may just have to pick some up myself! Good job either way, though. I don't use third party items. For the green Bamboo in the background i used this pieces. The roof is made of tan hoses. The green string is of course by Lego too. Jonas Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vee Posted December 22, 2013 Whoa! You should submit this Cuusoo. I would support it right away. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mystus Posted January 4, 2014 Whoa! You should submit this Cuusoo. I would support it right away. This. You've got my support. I think this is an amazing build and I'd say it's the right size to be submitted to Cuusoo. On top of that your water technique is brilliant. Something I am definitely going to try although I'll need to do some shopping around for both the clips as well as the trans-light blue plates. I also love the way you put together both your tree as well as the individual bamboo trees as well - very clever. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
