Hi everyone! Here is my entry to the Summer Fun contest. My model, built completely out of LEGO, depicts two minifgs working happily in their garden on a warm summer evening. One of the minifigs is shoving earth in a small plot in the corner, and the other is relocating a tree.

More pictures:

Corner view

Close-up

Side view

Back view

Upper view

My entry is the first scene I've ever done (same with mtm). Mindstorms is my thing, but this was a fun break.  Smiley

Feel free to comment!  Wink

Well done my friend, it's absolutely beautiful and what summer is all about according to my boss (wife).
Very cool Vignette, I remember Deb doing something similar on LDD years ago, I think she called it "My Secret Garden".

I will always appreciate the real ma-coy over the digital, though my entry will be LDD.

Good luck eh, and hats off to fine build.

I do love the Vignette you made, tell me though, what did you use for your white back ground and what setting was your camera on, reg. or Micro?

My camera setting was on regular (I think). For the background I used white sheets of card-stock paper, then used gimp to "smudge" the edges together. A VERY special thanks goes to R8 for his tips on creating a white background. I am still working on this technique (which is new to me), but I think I will become good at it eventually.
