Details:
Here's an interesting new way of building that has become quite popular among older LEGO® fans. The basic idea is to put the standard minifigs into an apocalyptic mess - often with zombies and such. This particular model also forgoes baseplates entirely in favor of building a mount out of smaller LEGO® plates. Have a close look at the phone pole, too - a mix of barrels from Pirates sets and 2x2 round bricks give it a real wooden look. The string and well-placed 2x2 grey radar dishes give it a very realistic look, which makes the otherwise fairly dystopian landscape much more convincing.
This is Tuesday's model of the day.
