SlyOwl Posted October 4, 2009 Posted October 4, 2009 Good on you! This is very reminiscent of those on the Cape Flats, and you've got loads of the details in there - from the corrugated iron and road-side stall to the decrepit car and tyres on the ground. I would suggest to convert the two trees into telegraph poles going diagonally over the diorama, as those were a more common sight than trees, as I recall. The chaotic nature of the slum makes it difficult to make it aesthetically photographical as a whole, but in this instance I like it: each individual shot is a different perspective from a street-eye view, with a different focus. Keep it up! Quote
prateek Posted October 4, 2009 Posted October 4, 2009 Another great African MOC The rusty old car looks relly good, and so does the uneven roof Quote
Ratshot Posted October 4, 2009 Posted October 4, 2009 I really like these African MOCs. There so real. Keep up the great work Quote
Skipper 24 Posted October 4, 2009 Posted October 4, 2009 I'm loving your African MOC's. From the amount of scenes you included I expected you MOC to be huge, but when I saw the top shot I was astounded at the amount of detail you fitted in in such a small space. When I went to Africa a few years ago I remember seeing scenes like these, you've pulled them off very well and accurately. Nice work . Quote
BlueBard Posted October 4, 2009 Posted October 4, 2009 Great! I really like all these African MOCs of yours Quote
Captain Genaro Posted October 4, 2009 Posted October 4, 2009 I think this is awsome . I like the uneven walls and old car. One question, why did you decide to model Africa Quote
Still Raindrop Posted October 5, 2009 Posted October 5, 2009 While it doesn't look much like the part of Africa I'm familiar with (Northern Rwanda), it certainly does remind me of Kinshasa! Quote
Legostein Posted October 5, 2009 Posted October 5, 2009 Hello! You really catch poverty and despair very well. You spent a lot of time placing things here and there to give it the right look. One thing I really like is that car. It's 5-wide! Older TLC cars were 4-wide, today we have those blocky 6-wide things. Your car is great! Best greetings, ~ Christopher Quote
Tom Bricks Posted October 5, 2009 Posted October 5, 2009 I've also been wondering why you chose to MOC parts of africa. You do a very good job with the limited number of heads. Quote
streifen Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 u have done a great moc there. just 1 question: where did you get the brown heads and hands? i can't seem to find them. Quote
Ezechielle Posted October 6, 2009 Author Posted October 6, 2009 Thanks all! just 1 question: where did you get the brown heads and hands? i can't seem to find them. I found it on Bricklink. For thoose who are asking "Why Africa?": I just want to reply that this question sounds like "why do you make City/Pirates/Star Wars/Military" but no one ask it by the way... Are "African MOC" so disturbing? Quote
