A Journey Back (Collab with Ron_Dayes)

Talking with Ron_Dayes a few months back, we both mentioned how cool the Lego booklet photos used to be. Large, brick-built settings for all those little sets you could buy. After some brainstorming, Ron had the idea for a beach scene, a nod to the Paradisa and Town themes of old. With some incredible building from Ron and 18 hours of rendering, here it is!

 

If you look close, there are a lot of old sets remade in here, including the Sand Dollar Cafe, the Beach Hut, a Town Delivery Van, and so on. There are also two new cars for the collab, a Nissan Skyline R31, and an awesome Jeep/Land Rover that Ron made.

 

This is part of an on-going project that Ron and I are doing, trying to create a fun Lego world in 1/43 scale. If you are interested in trying your hand at it, shoot me a message, and go check out Ron's feed for some great scaling ideas!

 

I have to give a huge thanks to Ron on this project, he spent hours building most of this great scenery, and his cars are just perfect as always!

 

This was rendered using the fantastic Mecabricks importer for Blender, made by Mr. Jarraud. Go check out his website and try it out!

 

Thanks for looking, and look out for more possible collabs in the future!
