A generic Tibetan Zen monastery/abbey, hidden deep in the Himalayas:



I built this for an entry in the short-animation contest at the Katsucon anime convention -- it would provide the establishing shots, and I’d then cut to a room with minifig guru and disciples. I didn’t quite finish the script, which relied on trading increasing inscrutable Zen koans until a head exploded in enlightenment. (Exploding minifig heads are always funny.)

Conveniently enough, we had a heavy snowstorm that weekend. Some shoveled snow, some artfully placed rocks, and -- voila! -- no need for BURPs, and no sign of the green baseplate.

Pretend the yellow is gold, pretend the tan is yellow, and pretend the 1x1 green rounds atop the trees aren’t Mega Blok brand. :)

(...) Very nice! (...) I'd still very much enjoy seeing this movie, so I hope you finish it. How exactly do you make a minifig head explode, though? Best, – Joe (19 years ago, 4-Nov-05, to lugnet.build.microscale, FTX)
