Into the Swamp!

[Kai NRG]

After having barely survived the desert, our poor trader changed his camel for a couple of servants to help him along back home. Of course he opted not to go back the same way... unfortuantly the townspeople suggested the "swamp route"... and why am I writing this in third person?

This area was not always swamp, long ago it was rocky fortress, and so the inhabitants built themselves an outlook on top of the tallest stone outcropping.

I thought it was a bit humorous myself...

My goal with this (if I had an unlimited or almost unlimited collection) would have been a 48x48 swamp covered with 1x1 trans-green tiles (like Ecc's) and with several rocks... but obviously I didn't make it!

C&C are welcome!

I LOLed over the gator. Nice Duplo! I like the scene, keep up the great work -- lots of good story coming out of this.

Hehe - the alligator cracked me up a bit. Plus I didn't know there were two greens in DUPLO.

He looks pretty cute for a killer monster though

Thanks, guys! Glad you like the gator!

Yes, that is a problem... but maybe that means the trader will be able to get on his good side?

The real reason for the Duplo gator rather than a LEGO one is the CCCX cross-catagory "Best use of Duplo" award...

Ha! Nicely done. Sort of reminds me of the scene in Disneyland's Jungle Cruise:

You've done a great job with the wooden tower. It looks fantastic. Oh, and cute crocodile too! I think I'd want to hug it rather than run away from it.

Thanks! If anything, I drew inspiration from the Lone Ranger trailer (my brother build something like that for his cowboys to play "King of the Mountain" on... and then I thought it would make a good Ill Advised Journey, so I tore it down and did it all over again).

Now I'm imagining the bottom guy going "Nice boy, good croc, ..." Thanks!
