Builder radiohearhoy continues to delight with characters from Pixar's Finding Dory. The latest additions to this outstanding collection is Nemo and Bailey, and just like all the others, they're wonderful. And just like the last time I posted about this collection, I still haven't seen the movie. I'll show myself out.
The League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen, for as much promise it seemed to have, was an epic disappointment. I had a tangential connection with it, helping solve some of the compositing challenges, and I had high hopes for it. But alas, I was let down. But there are a few shining gems in there, and one of them is this, Nemo's car, the Nautilus. The version by Mad physicist is as jaw dropping as the real one. Just look at that lovely detailing on the front, scrumptious.
I'm as big a Disney nerd as I am a LEGO nerd, and I've always liked the aesthetics and design of Nemo's submarine from 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea. This was steampunk before anyone knew what steampunk was. Orion Pax does this classic justice with an jaw-dropping build, friggin' awesome. Check out his website for more pictures.
It's odd how a single film can transform a thing forever huh? The image of clownfish used to just conjure up images of tropical reefs and sea life. Now you see one and all you can think is Nemo! Nice MOC Amida Na.
Check out this aquarium from Joshua Morris. It has everything you want in aquatic, decorative pets. Colorful fish, interesting decorations, attractive framing. Not only is it beautiful, but way easier to manage the salinity than the real thing.
