SpacySmoke Posted October 6, 2011 Posted October 6, 2011 This is a discussion thread for my entry. Big thanks to Eurobricks.com for this contest; it was very inspiring and a fun challenge. When the contest was first announced, the City Corner set kept popping up in my mind. I liked the idea of using it because it has both a vehicle and different types of buildings. Thankfully, I had also just bought some grab bags from my Lego Store that contained pieces of the London Tower set. You know what that means...lots of tan! That really helped me create the sand effects. I also ended up using all of my lime green 1x1 round plates that I got from the PaB wall a while ago...never thought I'd ever have a use for them. I started with the bus stop because it is the smallest section of the set and it was a good way to see if I could pull off my vision of an underwater look. Next, I tackled the bike/skate shop. Then it was time for the pizza parlor to get its makeover. Finally, the city bus got its turn. The idea is that it is sitting on one rock and the front of the bus is smashed into a second rock. Unfortunately, that all happened while the bus driver was still at the wheel. Poor guy. Overall, I'm pleased with the end result. It's the first time I've done something this organic so it's been a great experience no matter what happens with the contest. Quote
lightningtiger Posted October 6, 2011 Posted October 6, 2011 Excellent work 'SpacySmoke', great broken glass, dead bus driver and ruins every where ! I was really expecting Sponge Bob try out pizza making, but I was wrong ! Brick On while holding your breath 'SpacySmoke' ! Quote
Ralph Posted October 6, 2011 Posted October 6, 2011 Great work SpicySmoke, I particularly like how the broken glass came out! Ralph Quote
Ninja Nin Posted October 6, 2011 Posted October 6, 2011 I too thought about City Corner, it is such a nice set for the underwater scene.... and you did it so well with all the details, especially the glasses ! Excellent Work ! Quote
Darkdragon Posted October 6, 2011 Posted October 6, 2011 Good work. The bus is my favorite part, the crash and encroaching seabed looks great. Quote
dr_spock Posted October 6, 2011 Posted October 6, 2011 Funny I originally thought about City Corner too when I was looking at sets on my shelves to use. Good work. Quote
Jedi master Brick Posted October 6, 2011 Posted October 6, 2011 This is great work, the set is recognisable yet it has cleary been submerged. The bus is my favourite bit but I reall like the busstop and the other bits Quote
cimddwc Posted October 6, 2011 Posted October 6, 2011 Great! You put a lot of nice details and "damages" into this set. Quote
Trent Posted October 6, 2011 Posted October 6, 2011 Brilliant work; I love the bus in particular! Quote
Locutis Posted October 7, 2011 Posted October 7, 2011 (edited) Very nicely done. I also like the broken glass and all of the bus, as well as all of the crustacean detail. Good luck. Locutis Edited October 7, 2011 by Locutis Quote
Stardusty Posted October 7, 2011 Posted October 7, 2011 Wow! MY favorite is probably the bus, but everything is great! Quote
