Bio-research station 22
I really wanted this build to feel very alien. The dark orange ground with the strange alien creatures slowly infecting the land and everything around it. The vibrant green river flowing between the legs of the elevated research station, and some strange yet familiar looking plant life.
The base of this build is 2m x 1.2m and the tower sits at about 1.3m high. This is definitely the tallest build I have ever done and definitely one of my largest. So big that i couldn’t fit it all infringe of my backdrop… luckily I was talking to a fellow exhibitor called Jacqui that offered to help with photoshopping the background to white. I think she did an amazing job with it and I truly appreciate the help, the build simply wouldn’t of looked as nice.
I really enjoyed figuring out the best ways to make all the curves and experimenting with different ways to get the toxic green of the river.
I really wanted to experiment with some lighting and a couple motorised features for this build. I wanted to limit myself to official lego products mainly because I am a lego purist and I really enjoy the challenge that the official lego electronics provide. I used one M motor for the mechanism for the black alien creatures in the ground to make them look like they were breathing, 10 lego power functions LEDs, 1 classic lego LED unit for the flashing lights on the cargo ship and 7 lego power functions extension cables. All of this powered by 1 power functions battery unit. I had a lot of fun trying to hide all these components and yet still be easy to access like the hidden button for the power and a hidden drawer for easy access to the batteries.
