Kaliphlian fishing boat 11 on Flickr. My first MOC of the new year, hooray! It’s a free build for the Historica guild challenge on Eurobricks. :) This build was pretty much constucted around a technique that i saw a while ago on Malte Dorowski’s MOCpages homepage, where he used lots of clips and flex tubing to create subtle curves on his Porche models. I was messing about with ways to construct small boats at the time and thought i’d give it a try. I chose the traditional Sri Lankan outrigger as my departure point as i love their elegant design and i thought they’d fit right into the Kaliphlian fleet! I originally wanted to have a forced perspective view of Audax Arazi (the island off the east coast of my home base in Historica) in the distance, but for one reason or another it didn’t quite come together and i scrapped it. I might go back and have another go at it, perhaps after Brickvention (which is only 2 weeks away now - argh, better get my display finished!). ps. I highly recommend checking out Malte’s stuff, it’s amazing. :) Linky link here: http://www.mocpages.com/home.php/36105
