About this creation

This is my entry for the 2012 MocOlympics. You can go to the groups homepage here. This is also the first creation I have posted on Mocpages so I am quite excited.
As you can see, I have chosen to build a beach for the Surfin' USA category. Below, you can see my surfer, a rather dashing fellow dressed in US colors who is riding up a large wave (that is not visible in the model).

Not everyone is that dashing, however. Here you can find a lazy person relaxing on his beach towel and a girl building a sand castle (which looks done to me).

Here is a closeup of the lazy dude. I used flexible figure techniques to position his arms. I had built someone similar to this a while ago, so when I saw the contest I thought it would be a good chance to incorporate him in a LEGO® creation. Note, I am sorry that there are some holes and bumps in the beach around him. I was running out of good bricks.

Here is a closeup of my seagull. The design is based on one by Walter Boy. If you did not see my bird before this point, check the main picture.

Finally, we have a shot of all the characters with accessories. Wake up, sleepy man, it's picture time!

Comments and criticism are welcome (and encouraged).

Thank you a lot Chris. I can understand being away as I also take breaks and vacations.

Sorry for the delay in your MOCpages account being approved. Kelso's on a work trip and I was off for the weekend... Anyway, your account is now approved and you should be able to post without issues. Good luck! ~ Chris.
