About this creation
I went into this build with the conditions that it needed to be small (because I only have a few spare hours), and that I wanted to expand on some techniques I've been working up.
Ended up with three relatively interesting things (well, interesting to me anyways).
The first is the rocks. A bit more choppy style than I've typically been building. I built something like this in the MOC olypmics but wanted to take it a little higher.
Second is the water. Trans blue like usual, but a variety of colors underneath. Blue, White, Black, Dark Blue, Transblue. Kind of gives it a nice look I think.
And finally the door piece. Usually I'll use the hinge. However, that creates a kind of a mismatch because the pattern wouldn't be continued. Here the door is supported from the back that allows for more detail on the front.
I guess thats about it. This is my smallest build to date, probably the only one that will fit on my bookshelf. I think it will hang out there for awhile because its not eating up too many pieces.
The Beach Shack Baby, Yah

Thanks for helping me get the white background. Couldn't have done it without ya! I also like how the shack is built into the rock. I wouldn't be suprised if there was a cozy study in there |

Oh sweet, I don't know how I missed this! I like all these new techniques, but I think I like the SNOTy rocks better than the choppy ones. Then again, who am I but one of your fans. =) |

Great work as usual Eggy. Love the rocks and the water fowl. I need to start looking more closely at your paper for the answers! |

That's pretty nifty, and I admire your rock building skills. Is there anything inside of the house? |

Beach shack yay! The rocks are cool and look more like rocks you would find by water. The water is very inovative. Especially the different colored under the trans blue plates. What is up with the manly girl feeding the ducks? |

The water is excellent! It gives it the looks of the water at the seaside with rocky bottom. |

You've nailed the water on this one; it's got a 'choppy' look to it which suits the beach rather than say, a placid lake. BTW that girl's got an evil look on her face-no relation to Heather is she? |

A short-legged girl(?) feeding ducks at the water's edge -- I think the Professor's been looking at MY paper! He just left out the haikus and exploding head so it wouldn't be so obvious. |

Heh, you call that SMALL? That little shack would be eating up a big chunk of my useful pieces. Those rocks . . . I don't even own most of those pieces. Yet how am I so brilliant, you might ask, even with my lack of LEGO? Well, you'll have to peek over at my paper to find out. |

Yeah Dave, Eggy's paper is the one to look at. I've been peeking over Kelso's shoulder for a few years now and both of us are still getting held back. Oh yeah, BTW Nice one Prof. ~ Chris. |
