mordatre Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 The plan was to make this much larger, but money played it´s part (Star Wars claims alot from the Lego budget) so I present this first module to you. I plan to make another one and place it next to this one so it will eventually be a much larger build. Hopefully you´ll like it. There´s alot of color! ;) HLR01 by mordatre, on Flickr HLR02 by mordatre, on Flickr HLR03 by mordatre, on Flickr HLR04 by mordatre, on Flickr HLR05 by mordatre, on Flickr HLR06 by mordatre, on Flickr HLR08 by mordatre, on Flickr Quote
CardinalBricks Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 This is beautiful! I love the mason brick ground, the tree, the dock, the café, the water effect, EVERYTHING. Quote
Hobbythom Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 Really nice. The colours pop! Love the water side with all the lime. Quote
Getn Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 Well, the combination of colors is great! The effect of waves pleases. Quote
finnbricker Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 Oh my, really nice! I love the idea of using the brick-bricks as a path. The roof of the café is also really neat – mine has a medium stone grey roof, which looks kinda boring. I did add a chimney, though – they bake their own cakes there! Quote
Zepher Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 Wow, these colors really pop in the best of ways. Love the pathway and the lime green for the grass - I have to say that the only thing distracting in the whole MOC are the bushes on the shore - everything else is so fully realized and cartoony, I feel that they look bland and hollow in comparison. Pretty much everything else is beautiful though: the pink and red roof for the cafe is great, and the red in the tree really makes it look like a good cohesive part of the MOC. Quote
Jorrith Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 Let me say this first: I am definatly not into friends.... But this moc is... Awesome! I really like the water behind the jetski, and how the dolphin jumps out of the water... To sweet and cute for my taste, but you did an excellent job! Quote
lightningtiger Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 What's SNOT to love about this creation, very clever use of the brick-patterned bricks as pavers.....I never thought of using them that way (great idea). Wonderful designing there 'mordatre' and Brick On ! Quote
Zed_43 Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 Wow, really nice use of colors!!! I love this little dispaly / scene! You made ingenious parts uses! Quote
Pandora Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 There's so much to enjoy here. The SNOT base is just great, and the use of the masonry bricks for a pathway help tone down the bright Friends colours nicely, whilst also adding a great texture. I really like how you've used the teeth parts as both greenery and spray from the jetski, and how you've SNOTed in the water trails. The use of Technic joints for the tree is a great idea, making it look less blocky and more knobbly (for want of a better word ), and I also like how you've filled out the Café, whilst also streamlining the interior. The other thing that struck me was how sunny it looked in some of the pictures, too! Really great MOC, thank you for sharing. Quote
mordatre Posted January 6, 2014 Author Posted January 6, 2014 Thanks to all for the great comments! @Pandora -My inlaws gav me a new torch for christmas that I used as added lighting. However I held it with one hand while operating the camera with the other hand so thats why the lighting is inconsistent. It did came out great on most of the pictures though. Outside in Sweden it´s as dark as it possibly can be. @ Zepher - Point taken about the bushes. I´ll take that into consideration when adding another module. Might do some small changes to this one at the same time. Quote
Pandora Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 Outside in Sweden it´s as dark as it possibly can be. I did wonder, I was in Sweden only a few weeks ago, and I don't remember much sunlight! Quote
eurotrash Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 That's a bright and sunny looking MOC - perfect to banish these winter time blues! As others have noted the colors really pop, good use of those brick 1 x 2s and the bank of the river. Outstanding! and I love it! Quote
B Rick Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 BEAUTIFUL! Nice scenery and great photography. The lighting in first pic looks like shade on a sunny summers day... I agree on all of what's been said above. But I like to add that I'm not a fan of the Friends-dolls, but that's Lego's fault, not yours. ;-) Quote
TheLazyChicken Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 This is the most beautiful lego friends creation I have seen. Keep up the good work! Quote
thrak76 Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 Great work here! There's some really cool techniques to admire, and the colors of the Friends sets look nice. Quote
Kristel Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 Wow! This is just gorgeous! :wub: The colours are so vibrant, but nicely offset by the more earthy tone of the path and the jetty. I don't think there's anything I don't like. Can't wait to see the next module! Quote
lincolnwho Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 Perfection , really great work , so many little details and great to see The colours Quote
mordatre Posted January 7, 2014 Author Posted January 7, 2014 We all need a little summer during these dark winter times. :) And it´s always great to step away from collecting Star Wars and building something from the other end of the color spectra. Thanks a bunch for the comments once again! Quote
tomdobs55 Posted January 7, 2014 Posted January 7, 2014 SNOT pavers, what a fantastic idea. I love the trees and the spray from the jet ski is just awesome. That first picture really sets the tone very well. Quote
LukeWarmTea Posted January 7, 2014 Posted January 7, 2014 Such a great MOC! My mind keeps jumping between 'wow' and 'how?!' - the techniques you've used here really set this apart. Also, I love the reeds - and the sun! This looks like NZ at the moment! Quote
LEGO Guy Bri Posted January 7, 2014 Posted January 7, 2014 Fantastic MOC mordatre! It's a great little scene here. You did an excellent job creating the wash behind the jet ski Quote
LegoSjaak Posted January 7, 2014 Posted January 7, 2014 That's pretty awesome.. love the colors and you had some very new ideas!! Quote
