Entry # 33: BRICKerature
Hello Fellows in Brick! Here I present my project for the 2016 Digital Design Contest.
Do you like playing with LEGO bricks? Do you like reading? Then this is your LEGO theme! You don't like either? This might be a way to get involed with both. There are so many great works in literature, the number of sets included into this theme could be infinite.
My prototype project features three sets: Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, Jonathan Swift's Gulliver's Travels and Ernest Hemmingway's The Old Man and the Sea.
The best known balcony scene of history set consists of 1062 pieces plus 2 minifigures:
The same from a different angle:
The sea scene set of the Hemmingway novel consists of 446 pieces plus 1 minifigure:
The Lilliput scene set of Gulliver's Travels consists of 367 pieces plus 4 minifigures:
Here are the three sets together to see the proportions:
Get your books and bricks ready. Build a story!
Here's the ZIP-ed MLCad file of the project. (Note that this is a raw model, texturing and figure positioning was finished in the rendering software.) You might get a missing parts message. It is because I hunted for some parts separately. If you give me a list of your missing parts I'll send them to you somehow.
