Hee, hee, ingenious! Let's not lose sight of the fact that tree is pretty cool too! You guys are rising to new heights of building! :)

Great effect and interesting tree design. Plus, you can never go wrong with Fabuland!~H

Dude, you're right, I wish I could be more original...

Sweet trick, but to obvious!I look forward to more :)

Neat trick Dave. Congrats on the perfect score. I love the look of this, the tree construction, the balloons and the Fabuland fig make me think of Maurice Sendak or the Moomins - odd childrens books rule! Good luck Bats.

Awesome.

I added a behind the scenes after judging was complete. And no, I never lost any of it to gravity, but then I don't have to deal with earthquakes.

Great build the upside down technique is a great idea

Did you lose any of this to gravity at any time? 5 points. (Also... how did you do it? It looks too heavy for a Lego built support...)

Score = 5

Must be a flightless bird. Thank goodness for balloons. >> 5 points <<

Excellent upside down technique and I love that tree. Your score = 5

Yeap, you get that little extra for doing the whole "upside down" thing. 5 points! ~ Chris.

hehe...

Nice to see you hitting MOCathlon at the same pace you left the MOC Olympics last year. Bravo! ~Thoy

Very cute build Dave. I wasn't sure if you were going to make it to the party!

love the balloons !!!!!

Simply excellent. I love that upside-down technique!

I see those white support beams... flipping this thing must have been mildly stressful. The balloons look great, and the techniques and part usages make this look like a scene from an old children's cartoon.

I really like the tree building technique, especially how you did the root (yes, the root). And it's really clever taking the pic upside down. Excellent work, detective.

sweet ^-^ love the tree and duck :)
