Hello folks,
I'm proud to share my latest collaboration with Tyler (Legohaulic). This is a 7'x7' display of a floating world shattered into fragments, whose citizens are now rebuilding their lost home. You can see more detail shots on Tyler's and my Flickr photostream.

Wow! That's epic. I love the variety of pieces used, and all the vibrant colours. That's an amazing display, thanks for sharing. I'm also jealous of your lego collections and building skills.
Re: Aurora
Thanks for sharing your masterpiece! The design, colors & detail are anazing!

Re: Aurora
That's amazing! It makes me want to live there. ;)
Re: Aurora
That's beautiful and inspiring. I especially love the fountains.

Re: Aurora
These are fantastic dioramas. Excellent storytelling as well.
Re: Aurora
Nannan, I hope you and Tyler don't mind, but I had compiled your teasers into a gallery and now have added the full series. I think it's a truly appropriate way to present this beautiful collaboration.
Are the purple pillars intended as some sort of artificial gravity source that keeps the floating platforms from separating?

Re: Aurora
No problem, thanks for doing that! Those are indeed anti-gravity pillars that keep the platforms floating.vynsane wrote:Nannan, I hope you and Tyler don't mind, but I had compiled your teasers into a gallery and now have added the full series.

Re: Aurora
Cool, glad you're okay with my doing so.
"keep the platforms floating" - ah, I had assumed whatever cataclysm that befell Aurora had in some way demolished the core of the planet but affected the gravity in such a way that the remnants of the crust would float at the same level they had always occupied, just now without being physically anchored to each-other, which would necessitate the pillars to tie everything together. Now I have a different view since you say they're anti-gravity.
The theory I was thinking of was, taking the earth as an example, if you were to instantaneously replace the iron core and layers of magma with a tiny, super-dense star that perfectly mimicked the gravitational properties of what it replaced, we might end up with our same tectonic plates floating on air instead of magma, and then pseudo-scientifically hand-wave away any discrepancies. Of course, this is nothing new, there have been plenty of 'hollow earth' theories in the past (and present, I guess).
