LCC - LC 16: First Snow

Post by General JJ »

Our entry for the LC 16 and the Miscellaneous category for the CCC.

Image

Jørn Jakobsen and his men continue to lead their fellow villagers farther and farther away from Queen Galainir's forces to avoid conflict. Spirits in the camp are high though, and the new-fallen snow keeps Jørn optimistic that Queen Galainir's troops will end their search for them.

Great job on the rocks and trees. The snow layering looks really natural.

Thanks! That's good to hear since our goal was to achieve a higher level of landscaping :)

Really nice scene going on here, everything feels just in the right place. The minifigure posing looks really natural, and the snow layering looks very realistic. :)

I've always felt the angled plates work great with snow. Great work here, very competitive entry.

The snow-scaping is amazing in this build. Awesome job! I love those small trees in the background as well, They fit perfect with the winter theme. By the way that fire you made is pretty impressive as well, although it looks a bit fragile. Great work overall!

Happy Building,

Those Pine trees are some of the best I've seen, wow. I also like the snow and the shape of the rocks. The figure placement is good as well. Overall, a very nice job.

I like the pine trees most, but the whole landscape is excellent. The tilted rocks look very good :)

You've achieved your goal of a higher level of landscaping then I think! (Sounds like a Zen philosophy... :tasty:)
