gilakai Posted May 4, 2014 Posted May 4, 2014 Hi all, I am currently working with my wife to create a series of flower pots based on classic movie scenes. The idea was born when I asked myself: "what would it take for me to love plants more?" The answer: marrying Lego with real plants! My first set was based on lord of the rings, posted here a few days ago. My second set is based on the Endor speeder bike chase scene. I recently submitted it as an entry in Lego Ideas, please help support it if you like it! Front view: Closeup: Side view - A buried stormtrooper: Back view: Another side view - an Ewok pit trap: Finally, a close up to look at soil containment ( I added some moss to match the greens): Appreciate any comments on what I could do to improve the set, and if you can spare some time, help support it in Lego Ideas. Thank you! Quote
Pablo94 Posted May 4, 2014 Posted May 4, 2014 What a great idea! Stormtoorper skeleton is ver funny :D Quote
Steel Tiger Posted May 4, 2014 Posted May 4, 2014 Maybe you could make different scenes for different colored flowers? Roses and other red flowers- mustafar or sullust, white flowers-hoth, etc. Quote
iamwhoiam Posted May 5, 2014 Posted May 5, 2014 Utter Genius, I think this would be great on my windowsill! Quote
gilakai Posted May 5, 2014 Author Posted May 5, 2014 are you referring to some sort of protection layer on the inside? Not at this moment, but I should start looking into that, enough people has raised concern about possible scratched lego. Also on the to-modify list: - lego trees could look better if I use the 2x2 round pieces. - more detail on the green ground Quote
TWP Posted May 6, 2014 Posted May 6, 2014 This looks very fun! The design is atleast good It seems a bit impractical maybe, but well, if you've got two hobbies and can combine it this way, it's just great! Quote
M<0><0<DSWIM Posted May 7, 2014 Posted May 7, 2014 Definitely a very original idea! I'd like to see some custom-built speeders rather than the official ones, though. Quote
Ap11AP Posted May 8, 2014 Posted May 8, 2014 Tatooine would be a good one to do, with a cactus perhaps. Can't think though how one can be done for Hoth! Quote
gilakai Posted May 8, 2014 Author Posted May 8, 2014 Definitely a very original idea! I'd like to see some custom-built speeders rather than the official ones, though. yeah good point - the official ones do seem a little bit too long for the pot. I'll explore that Tatooine would be a good one to do, with a cactus perhaps. Can't think though how one can be done for Hoth! Thanks for the pointer... I've been thinking a lot about a cactus scene but can't believe I didn't think of Tatooine! Quote
Fritzy Posted May 8, 2014 Posted May 8, 2014 Fun design. The buried Stormtrooper is the highlight for me. Hope to see more! Quote
kr-lik Posted May 13, 2014 Posted May 13, 2014 amazing. but yeah what about watering it ? won't the water slip between the pieces ? Quote
gilakai Posted June 7, 2014 Author Posted June 7, 2014 (edited) amazing. but yeah what about watering it ? won't the water slip between the pieces ? The water doesn't slip through the pieces.. it'll mostly come out of the hole I left at the bottom of the pot. Also, a quick update below: - I've changed the trees to be straight and thick, so that it gives a better feeling of speeder bikes zipping through - made the speeder bikes shorter so that the size fits better - changed the type of moss planted in the pot Edited June 7, 2014 by gilakai Quote
Mr Man Posted June 7, 2014 Posted June 7, 2014 Also, a quick update below: - I've changed the trees to be straight and thick, so that it gives a better feeling of speeder bikes zipping through - made the speeder bikes shorter so that the size fits better - changed the type of moss planted in the pot Looks good, the trees match the actual plant there now .
