Huckleberry Finn

[mpoh98]

Hello All!

Here is my latest project! This was built for a school presentation about the book Huckleberry Finn, and as my teacher said visuals are appreciated, I automatically turned to Lego!

I had tons of fun building this creation, I used lots of new techniques that I have never tried before. For instance, the unusual pine tree, the water, the irregular baseplate, the sloped landscape, and using flex-tubes for trees.

Thanks Sir Erathor! It was fantastic, I had my classmates act out a scene as well, and that was HILARIOUS! Lots of fun (I normally don't like presentations, but this ones as fun and funny).

I love this!

Thanks Brickninja!

I usually hate presentations too, but I would have loved to have seen the acting!

Oh boy! The pine tree is fantastic! Great techniques used all around.

This is a very nice creation. However knowing the Mississippi, the water should be brown As Mark Twain said about the water: Too thick to drink, too thin to plow.

Thank you architect. Yes, this build was from my imagination as well, so as I don't really have anything that makes muddy water, my brown is limited, so I went more off of my imagination.

If you think about, bright blue and even dark blue water is not all that common in the real world except for in swimming pools. Once I get ahold of some, I think I will mainly use trans-dark green 1x1 tiles for regular river water and trans-black cheese for water at night, to add a new sense of realism. Just some food for thought and ideas. By the way, you can call me Ian

Well, kinda, the ocean sure looks trans dark blue/light blue/medium blue to me. Ok, thanks Ian!

I guess you're right about the ocean. What I'm thinking of I guess is a lot of rivers.

Yes, a lot of rivers do tend to be muddy. Also, waterfalls and rapids tend to be trans-light blue/trans-clear (mostly trans-clear).
