Ship’s Bane

This was one of my contributions to the Isles of Aura InnovaLUG layout at Brickworld this year. While trying to come up with ideas for how to make an island that was a little different than just your average floating rock, a flash of inspiration hit. Why not make a shipwreck island? I mean, with all these rocks and boats just floating around in the sky, it seems like the odds are pretty high that it would happen eventually. So now I had a good idea! But having an idea and building it are two different matters. I wanted the ship to have split the island, so that each side was at an angle. To achieve this, I made an extremely solid technic frame, and then built out from there. I’ll be doing a build log for this in the near future, so I won’t spoil all the details, but let’s just say it was quite a challenge at times. The buildings here were extremely fun to build however! I pretty much just tried to see how many balconies I could fit on one building with the taller one. Got to put some our MDF tiles to use too.

Anyways, thanks for looking, and I hope you enjoy the build – as always, C&C is very welcome!
