Oh, that's brilliant with the mirror. Like a real movie-making solution to creating an illusion of depth. Love it.

My aim was to re-create the cover of Random Access Memories by Daft Punk. To that end, I built the front approximately two thirds of each helmet, as that was sufficient for me, and it also meant they could lie flat on the ground. Getting the two halves to line up correctly to match the original in terms of depth and perspective was tricky, so they are not joined together for the photos, so that I could experiment with small movements relative to each other. https://www.instagram.com/retro__chip/

As the crow flies, probably yes! Actually, maybe Liverpool...

Wait, let me check...oh yes, we don't have any Lego stores in Ireland at all. So your glass should be half full (if not your PAB cup)! 😆

At a quick glance, it looks lovely!

The two books, 'Winnie The Pooh' and 'The House at Pooh Corner' are two of the best written (and illustrated) stories that any person of any age will ever read. And Rabbit is much more important than Kanga and Roo, in the overall scheme of things. And Owl and Eeyore rank ahead of Kanga, Roo and Tigger in story importance too. Not that it really matters. It's like choosing between your children. All wonderful. 🙂

Very cool. Looks like the design for some classic, stop motion children's television programme. The construction of the Moon itself just looks really nice.

Thanks all. 🙂 Most (or all) of the credit goes to the late graphic designer Storm Thorgerson for coming up with the majority of these iconic images in the first place.

[MOD] AT-AC: story of an epic fail (+free instructions)
Retro replied to Veynom's topic in LEGO Star Wars
That is so cute, and provided with a comprehensive and believable story of nonsense behind it. -
These are lovely! In the crime story one, is that a chalk outline on the ground, where the body was? Brilliant. And the bear at the end of the ski-slope is hilarious. Bears have to eat too I suppose...or maybe he just wants a go on the skis?

Beautiful shapes and colours, like all your models. The pool and floor give me an Art Deco feel, somehow. Great work.

Thanks a mil. Taking the photos is somewhere between ok and a nightmare. Does anyone enjoy photographing Lego? I usually do it in the garden. But trying to get the shadows and so on to work is often harder than making the models!
