Citrus Plantation near Puerto Desafio, Isla de Victoria

[Legostone]

While exploring the area around Puerte Citrus Plantation. We had already been wondering why the Marderians that lived here before rarely ate anything else - now we had our answer. Seeing the usefulness of these fruit, we quickly sent out a crew of workers to keep the plantation running. We'll probably put them to use on our ships, not go on a diet based purely on them though...

Hey! You people will make me like microbuilds after all!!  Nice one LS. The background adds A LOT to the build

I like how you stepped the ground. Better depth and easier to see the whole build. Nice bonus to get the shadows working for you underneath the clouds

The background works excellent- especially the inclusion of the volcano as all-dominating festure of the island.

It is hard enough to create a proper micro scale build, but to include forced perspective is on an even higher level.

Nice micro plantation! I must echo the others: the background / forced perspective really adds to the build. And good job working in part of the island's unique character to the build.

Main focus here was the background - I wanted to try that for a while already

Thanks! Didn't even notice that the shadows are once good for something

Someone had to include the vulcano - I feel like it has almost been forgotten. Thanks!

Same as above

That's why I included it in the end-of-war pic at the end of the challenge. It is the defining feature of the island.
