Here is the full diorama of all four Amazon builds created for mine and Bartu's Amazon collaboration!
First of all: Be sure to check out the Full Video of this build! This includes Bartu's masterful compositions, which is how this collaboration really comes alive! Don't miss it! :D
Hope you've enjoyed this collaboration! It has been quite a different one, working in two separate mediums, but I really want to thank Bartu for initiating this! It's been a very fun, interesting and intense month! Thanks!
One last thing: You seriously need to check out the VIDEO result of this collab to see how the music and lego builds work together. If not, you will just be seeing half of it :)

It fits 2 figs. (I'll post a pic of the figures later as well as an interior shot.) I'll also try and post a comparison shot if I can.
Cheers!

The second theme of mine and Bartu's Amazon collaboration is 'The Rainforest' :)
This was a fun build as I love to build trees and vegetation. I knew I wanted at least one very big tree, surrounded by some thinner and possibly shorter ones. This lead me to try out something I've not really tried, a tree with a square base. I generally think these trees don't turn out as nice as more organic techniques, and it seems hard to overcome the square frame and make it look round in a natural way. However, since I felt stability might be an issue with the more experimental techniques, I decided to go for it and see if I could make square trees look good :)
Another area where I went in a slightly unusual direction was the color of the trunk. I've seen images of more pale-ish trees in the rainforest and I decided to try one out. I was actually considering using light bluish grey at first, but settled for tan in the end, though in hindsight, LBG would probably have been a more interesting choice.
Vegetation is mostly pretty standard though I did try a couple of new techniques. Went with a bit more color here as well, compared to the first build.
Lastly I added quite a number of animals, to make the jungle come alive :)
Hope you enjoy the result! :)

Amazon River, Peru 秘魯 亞馬遜河 -- This wild parrot was palying around with guests. He s very friendly and could say "Ola" (Hello in Spanish). He could laugh out loud (said "hahaha") too.
a 1970 Volvo Amazon in bright Sunshine .. this Amazon changing colour from it's original RED (!) ... through orange to Green .. ( an all over thin coating of green algae )
Someone's project .. that perhaps.. eventually .. at some time in the future .. etc, etc ..!

I promised myself that I would get fresh flowers for the table. Winter is not very colorful here in the southwest, so this I think makes it a bit cheerier. The Amazon's were delighted and have never seen flowers before. Of course went right for the white roses!
The fourth and last installment of mine and Bartu's Amazon collaboration - Regrowth :)
Of all four builds I found this to be the hardest. Not in terms of time and effort, but in striking a balance. The idea is to show nature reclaiming land that has been misused, showing that nature has the strength to recover. At the same time, I didn't want to show it too overgrown, as nature needs time, lots of time, to grow back. I also wanted it to be clear that this was a new forest in the making.
As such, there had to be enough vegetation to show that nature was taking over, but not so much that the signs of human interference were lost in the build. I'm not confident that I got all the way there, but it was a good try hopefully :)
Not much in terms of innovation in this build. Basically a lot of the same things that I used in the third build, but broken and covered.
Hope you enjoyed the build! I think it's one of those that could be improved quite a bit on hindsight, but I think it still turned out ok :)
Over the past month I've been working on a collaboration, together with talented violinist, Bartu Elci-Ozsoy (LegoModularFan), portraying the Amazon rain-forest, in Lego and in music. Bartu would compose and record music in the spirit of the theme, while I would try to depict it in Lego.
The project has been divided in 4 themes, each dealing with a certain aspect of the Amazon. The first theme was 'The River' which can be seen in these images.
I'm quite happy with how the build turned out. I may have envisioned it even more overgrown, but this will be accomplished when the next theme build is added next to it.
I tried out a number of new techniques in this build (as well as many old ones) of which the hanging bright green leaves was probably the most central. I think it turned out alright, but the technique needs more polish in order to be reliable. I like the idea of gravity deciding how the leaves will hang, but it can sometimes look a bit limp and needs some rearranging to look good at times.
I hope you enjoy the result! 😃
The third installment in mine and Bartu's Amazon collaboration: Destruction.
There are many threats to the Amazon forest, one of them being small illegal gold mines that both destroys and poisons the forest by ruining the soil and dumping mercury waste. This build portrays such a mine.
This is a more somber theme than the previous two, as is the intention. Colors are more muted, with more olive and dark green. The dark tan ground is mostly exposed with vegetation struggling.
The whole setup is very makeshift and temporary, and nothing here is made to last. People are here to get what they can and then move on, giving no care to what state they leave things in. I tried to portray this by making things rather messy and cluttered.
One of the things I was pondering for a while was the inclusion of minifigs in the build. I've had many interesting conversations on whether it would be wise to include them or not. It was important for the build that the issues were not trivialized by making it childish or less natural. With a medium that is often seen as a toy this can sometimes be tricky. For this purpose I went with flesh heads rather than yellow ones, and made sure to avoid any polarizing facial expressions, like the standard "bad guy" faces.
Though certainly not innocent, the workers are not the main culprits in this, but rather other people who are far away from what is actually happening, bear the biggest blame. Often these people who are the main cause of this are not even found in South America, but may reside in Europe, Asia or North America, and this was something that was unfortunately not possible to portray in this build.
When it comes to Lego techniques, much of the focus here was on the man-made parts, which I don't build that often. The nature is not really something new, but I do like the staggered wedge plates technique for a varied incline.
On his side, Bartu created some fantastic sounds, made by on his violin, mimicking the sounds of ongoing destruction of the forest.
Hope you like the build, and that you feel this issue has been properly portrayed.
