mpoh98 Posted May 8, 2014 (edited) ATTENTION! My lego model "Huckleberry Finn" is on Lego Ideas! Your support of my creation to become a Lego set would be appreciated! It has 365 days to reach 10,000 supporters. We can do this! If you like the model, please support it, and SPREAD THE WORD about it as much as you can! Link: ideas.lego.com/projects/74333 ~Matthew~ About this creation Hello everyone, Here is my latest project! This was built for a school presentation about the book Huckleberry Finn, and as she said visuals are appreciated, I automatically turned to Lego! :) I had tons of fun building this creation, I used lots of new techniques that I have never tried before. For instance, the unusual pine tree (find the design here, thanks Anthony Wilson for the fantastic design!), the water, the irregular baseplate, the sloped landscape, and using flex-tubes for trees. If you are going to BrickWorld Chicago this year, you might get to see this in person, along with other projects. :) Enjoy! Thanks for viewing! Soli Deo Gloria! ~Matthew Oh~ Edited October 3, 2014 by mpoh98 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Balthazar Posted May 8, 2014 Beautiful trees and amazing landscape. I also like how you made water Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
krono111 Posted May 8, 2014 I love how you made the water like it's flowing and the rippling. I'll consider that in my next build where water plays an important part. Great idea with those olive green cheese slopes. I recently bought many of them and I yesterday thought about what to do with them. Great idea to build something for a school presentation. I'll do that next time too! Where are those flex-tubes from? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Where are those flex-tubes from? Thank you krono! The flex-tubes are used as the trunk for the tree on the right, the curved one. I was able to curve it since the trunk is made of a couple flex-tubes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kabel Posted May 8, 2014 Where's Jim? - Okay, actually I know this chapter, Jim and Huck getting lost in the fog ... Always loved the book, so I gotta love this moc! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lady K Posted May 8, 2014 This is fantastic. I really love the multi-layered tiles for moving water. Trees are great, I never thought of building them that way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
emilstorm Posted May 8, 2014 Loving the trees and the water! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

frumpy Posted May 8, 2014 Great tree technique. The water is also very impressive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fritzy Posted May 8, 2014 I love what you did to the trees, and the water looks well done too. Have you thought about submitting this or other creations you have to LEGO Ideas? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mrcp6d Posted May 8, 2014 Wow, this is really cool! I'll have to try that shoreline technique for sure, and the water is fantastic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eileenkeeney Posted May 8, 2014 This is pretty awesome. I really like that you were able to create something this cool, using mostly inexpensive pieces (i.e. pieces that have been recently in the Lego Store PAB bins). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Simon_S Posted May 9, 2014 This is one of your best builds yet, Matthew. The water effect looks very nice and the other landscape works also well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Scaevola Posted May 9, 2014 Nice work, the water looks superb. The tree looks a little weird, but I like it from a distance Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Master_Data Posted May 9, 2014 (edited) This MOC is beautiful! I like how it is so original and free-flowing, not hard, square, gigantic, and gray like many others I have seen. The trees are really nice as is the river. Please turn this into a series of MOCs- this is just so cool! I love what you did to the trees, and the water looks well done too. Have you thought about submitting this or other creations you have to LEGO Ideas? Agreed. Definitely submit this! It would get my support immediately and LEGO needs a set like this!

Norro Posted May 22, 2014 Enjoyed the PAB forest. A very nice idea! God bless, Nathan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Legopard Posted May 23, 2014 Very cool, Matthew, what you show here. You have used some really cool techniques. The way you used the 1x2 Tiles for the water is inspiring and i also like the border made of wedges. The trees made of cheeseslopes is not new, but i works here once again pretty well. Looking forward to more Huckleberry Finn MOCs ;) Brick on! Jonas Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
