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 :)

An afternoon fishing trip from the Heliconia reserve to a lagoon known for its piranhas: Heliconia is several hours by boat from Colombia's Leticia and in a side-flow off the Yavari river that marks the border between Peru and Brazil. I caught a sardine (rod&hook) but the two piranhas that I lifted out of the water escaped - my poor technique. My travel buddy B caught five piranhas.

In 2022, I returned to Colombia. The main purpose of this trip was to explore the Amazonian rainforest areas near Leticia and then on the Rio Negro. In 2007 I was in the Leticia area on a volunteering project and the 2022 trip gave me the chance to see more of the area.
As these are border areas, with the rivers travelled actually being the borders, I also visited / transitted through Brazil, Peru and Venezuela. I will create one master set / album for the entire six week trip, plus separate country albums to help viewers who are interested only in a specific country.
I also spent time in Bogota and in the Boyaca region. Overall intinerary: London - Leticia - Bogota - Villavincenzio - Rio Negro - Puerto Inirida - Bogota (incl Nemocon) - Villa de Leyva - Tunja - Bogota - London.
Carsten ten Brink is also a writer of fiction and nonfiction - for further information see www.carstentenbrink.com/Writing.html. 'The Nicotine Solution,' a piece relating to his time in the Amazon in 2022, has appeared in the US publication The Write Launch - see thewritelaunch.com/2024/12/the-nicotine-solution/. It also features several of his photos.

Spoke with the owner, who tells me that he fully intends to restore this car to its former glory.
Subject to availability. The Amazon rainforest, or at least what's left of it, generates a large part of the oxygen that you breathe. A few decades back, these photos would've been dark green.
Nur solange Vorrat reicht. Der Regenwald im Amazonasbecken, oder zumindest das, was davon übrig ist, erzeugt ein Großteil des Sauerstoffes, den wir alle atmen. Vor ein paar Jahrzehnten wären diese Fotos noch dunkelgrün gewesen.

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! 😃
This was my entry into RichboyJhae's Coruscant Speeder Contest.
It's my take on how deliveries are made on Coruscant. I loved this build and reimagining Amazon in another galaxy.
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.
Yesterday I went to an Amazon Hub to return an impulse buy that I turned out not to want and found what looked like a little town of Amazon. There were trucks rolling in and out, rows and rows of parked trucks and a huge building that was all Amazon. It was amazing and looked as if Amazon could take over the country. Maybe it should.

Allí ¿sonará la lluvia
junto al fuego las noches frías?
¿Tendrá Agosto en el río barcas?
Y tú ¿la gentil sonrisa?
