Certainly a fun idea - altho, i don’t quite get the trans-orange rock pieces
being city structures? forcefield domes?

I was thinking more along the lines of hollowed out crystal structures for
most of them, hence the name Crystal Reef. The service habitats are really
the only structures that look more like they’d have forcefield generators
running

Ok, that makes sense.

Perhaps if a slightly less scale is used - perhaps the one that uses 1x1 rnd
pieces as microfigs, then a moonbase around them?
|
To be honest, the vehicles, guns, and Tower always seemed to me to be in a
larger scale than the Domes, but I started with the Domes, and I felt that
the lack of vehicles made it seem completely devoid of life. Short of
putting in 1x1 round plates as flying saucers (which would be completely
unrecognizable as such without an explanation), I didn’t see any way to make
vehicles that would be in scale with the Domes, and the colorful Domes are
what I felt really made the design work visually.
|
I imagined the vehicles were giant rovers - like perhaps semis or something with
science labs inside. Oddly enough, i made out the rovers, etc easily
(understanding what they were).
As Ashley Glennon has said: worrying a lot about scale when doing microscale
stuff is not a good idea.

I’m always surprised when I hit your links and am taken to a bionicle site!
haha!

It does actually have some BIONICLE parts, but they’re easy to overlook.

Actually, your Bionicle stuff is very interesting - i know for a while you were
doing Star Wars bionicle stuff that was a lot of fun to look at. Very clever.

Something else that I just realized is that if they were generated forcefields, the fleebnork would have long ago eaten the generator and been freed to wreak havoc on the rest of the community.
