It's a nice little vig :) I like how you made the coral and the way you used the micro phone is very creative.

Thanks for the feedback. I am happy with how the dead coral turned out. Now we just need bones and skeleton pieces in colors like orange.

I think this is really cool, Ben. As I said elsewhere, I especially like the use of the microphone.

However the thing that really impresses me is that you actually were building!

PS. Sorry...had to get that dig in there. ;)

Everything they said. I also like the subject matter- haven't seen a lot of (read: any) pearl diving vignettes. :)
...and that's how Equestria was made!

No problem ;) Actually conventions usually get me building quite a few pirate style creations.

Thanks. I try to build things that others have not when I get a chance.

This forum needs a way to add a "like" button for those of us too lazy to post on everything we think is neat (which is pretty much everything, for me)

Nice scene. I can appreciate the pearl diver being as I spent 4 years in Hawaii and did quite a bit of snorkeling, free-diving. Good work! :)

Excellent coral! Tell me though, are silver pearls worth more than regular pearls?

Trust me, I think I'm funnier than you do.
Why do I have to add the word "minifig" to my spell checker every time I use it?!

Thanks. Plastic silver microphones are worth the most. I thought about using the gold microphone as well. :wink:
