Welcome to the Mont-Blanc massif
At the end of a long project. Create topography with Lego.
What more beautiful mountainous than the Mont-Blanc massif.
First, I began by defining the area that I wanted to represent. And what size I wanted to give my MOC, using a scale convenient.
I have chosen to represent an area of 20 km by 16 km and a moc : 160 studs by 128 studs.
A baseplate 32x32
A plate 1x1
The whole MOC is made with baseplates.
I edited a map for each baseplate. The grid represents a plate 1x1. Then, deciphering contour lines.
I assigned a texture by grid :
_ Urban : Tan, Dark Tan, Light Gray, Dark Gray
_ Meadow in valley : Green
_ Forest : Dark Green, Sand Green
_ Altitude vegetation : Lime
_ Rock : Light Gray, Dark Gray
_ Glacier : White
An exemple of assembly with « Chamonix » baseplate.
Floor 0 : altitude 1000 m
Floor 0, 1 and 2 : Altitude 1000 to 1100 m. A part of the city of Chamonix
We get up. The relief of a valley appears.
20 baseplates to assemble… several months pass.
Baseplate "Mer de Glace"
Baseplate "Aiguilles de Peuterey"
Baseplate "Dent du Géant"
