Down by the Docks

Hang out by the seaside and open yourself to a place of discovery, fun and adventure, here at the docks! Take a visit to the ocean via kayak, go fishing, collect seashells, have lunch, or whatever you want to do!

The build that for this entry is of a beach and dock. It includes 240 pieces with two minifigures and two seagulls.

When making the model, I tried to have a washed up feel to it, seeing as it is by the sea. To accomplish this, I used a muted and cobbled colour palette, and included rough textures, hinged floorboards and even barnacles. Another goal of mine was to add a sense of possibility to the build by adding finer details and accessories. Elements like the fishing rod, hot dog and sea shells can be used in a multitude of ways and scenarios. For example, one can setup one of the minifigures to be fishing, and what do they catch? Will it be a fish? A bottle? Is it a message in a bottle? Who knows? It's all up to imagination.
