    • Niek Geurts of MrBrick.nl recently posted a lovely LEGO version of Korben Dallas’s favorite restaurant from The Fifth Element.

    Mr. Kim's Flying restaurant boat

    While I love the boat’s hull and all the details Nieks has included, his technique for adding the background is just as interesting:

    Flying restaurant the making of!

    I wouldn’t have expected that taking a picture in front of a computer screen would turn out so well!

      I’ve used computer screens a couple of times:

      It’s a good, quick and dirty way of providing a background :)

      I love the model, but it’s the background technique that I’m finding particularly interesting; I love the way that the background accentuates the model so vividly – excellent effect.
