• you can use smaller plates to make the corner transition more subtle - Nannan Z.
  • The worn looking stone work here is delightful. - Cuahchic
  • I'm particularly fond of this part. It contrasts nicely in both form and color from the rest. - sandy_cash
  • Agree, liking the worn stonework lots. - sandy_cash
  • When we were laying out the bases, most of the small plates got used up in the larger island. - Tekka Croe

La Isla de los Tiburones

La Isla de los Tiburones used to be a major lighthouse for the entrance into the Caraval domain's waterways, but has since fallen into disrepair, and is all but forgotten. The perfect place to stash away a dissident princess and her guard.
I seem to either be doing retakes or remakes lately, so this is a remake of my old little tower.

Also yellow lighting...

Also also had some help from Tekka Croe on this one.

    I'm rather impressed that my pillars can hold that thing up. I love how you finished up the wooden parts.

    Breathtaking. And the yellow lighting (I feel) actually lends to the Spanish vibe.

    Agreed! Great work.

    This is great. The plants are used perfectly, and perching the tower on three rock pillars like that really drives home the fantastic sense of the build.

    Nice to see a new MOC from you :)

  16. bannerninja (14 months ago | reply)

    That is fantastic - and that the structure looks so very smooth *adding to favourites*

    Very reminiscent of your earlier creations too. Welcome back to Flickr. :)

    Superb! You should give the MocOlympics another go this year...

  39. Crimson Wolf (11 months ago | reply)

    I wish that I could, it was really fun when I went all the way to the final round, but I don't have the time and I don;t have the resourced needed. Maybe next year.

    Hopefully you scrounge up some time eventually, personally I'd expected that you'd win against Dave. :)
