UPDATE: Color Changes and Other Improvements!
Hey everyone!
Thank you for your support and discussion! I've put a lot of time and effort into this entry, and your response has been incredible!
To submit the best entry possible, I'm releasing an update that includes several improvements. The model retains a similar piece count (~285 pc), but improves the detail and uses currently produced colors. Read on to find out more!
Color Modifications:
A number of pieces were changed to match currently produced colors. These changes include:
- The Martian ground bricks have been changed from 'dark flesh' to 'reddish brown.' I believe that this color choice is a significant improvement over the original 'dark flesh' because it is more vibrant and striking.
- The road system has been changed from 'dark bluish gray' to 'light bluish gar.' I believe this change better defines the roads and gives the model better contrast overall.
Color Related Design Changes:
There were a few instances where existing pieces were not available in the new color selection. In these instances, I made minor modifications to satisfy color selection while also improving quality. These changes include:
- Martian Ruins (Replaced 1x3 arch while improving stability)
- Human City (Removed small tower while increasing overall detail - including nanofigure statue!)
- Minor changes to all spaceships.
Minor Miscellaneous Design Improvements:
I also made a number of minor design improvements across the entire set. Some of these changes include:
- Each car now has its own unique design.
- The human mining truck now has a more interesting design.
- The Human City now has an additional road, allowing for more connection possibilities.
- Other very minor changes
Thank you again for supporting this model! The Earthlings and Martians are excitied to see what new adventures you will build for them!
