Professor Eggplant goes small
Fresh from completing his massive Estuary Stronghold, Bryan (Professor Eggplant | Eggy Pop) takes on microscale. His resulting LEGO Castle is a thing of beauty.
The transition is gorgeous from blue ocean (apparently non-production trans-blue plates) to sandy beach and verdant land. It’s hard to pack a lot of detail into a castle this small, but Bryan manages with a nice little dome, itty-bitty cheese-slope roofs, and Technic pin-hole windows.

This is a nice and serene MOC. I can almost see and hear the waves rolling over the beach and the little trees swaying gently.

Noce. Very nice. The use of translucent bricks makes the illusion of waves, and the transition between the colors of those blocks brings the while thing together.

Brilliant work on the shore and water gradient!

non-production?

I agree with ranwanimator
Non-production I think not.
These are 1×2 trans dkblue plates. They appear in many sets.

Unless of course, these are trans blue. However, that is highly un likely. And from the image they look dkblue.

^ You guys are right about the dark blue 1×1 (not 1×2 BTW) tiles — looks like I missed a word in the exchange between Eggy and Legohaulic.
It’s the light blue ones that are non-production.
Or are you asking what “non-production” means, ranwanimator?

I take that back.
The trans light blue plates don’t appear in sets.
