I'm sad to see that the shopkeeper has only 1 hat.

I really like them Squid. The shop does look a lot like Mr. Gold's. Awesome Job. May I ask, what colours are those bricks?

Well, his other hat fell off before I took this, and I neglected to replace it.
Speaking of which, I am unsure what hat combination I should use for him.
I have two grey bowlers, and another two with question marks printed upon them.  I could go with double plain, double question marks, or a combination of the two with a specific one on the top or bottom, alternatively, I could just go with a single hat.  That all gives my six possibilities.

The main wall colour is beige, the floor and brick bricks are dark beige, the corner bricks and some other details are dark grey, most of the furniture in the shop is brown, and the door and roofing are dark blue.

This one actually looks quite nice in colour, as that shades all complement each other excellently.
The only problems are an old grey horse mask on the wall and a single brick in the roof which is dark green.

This single green brick bothers me greatly, however, I have been unable to locate my missing dark blue brick.  I do hope I do come to find it, but, if I can't, no one will be able to tell which brick is the dark green one.

Go with the double blank hat, the Riddler hat would just look tacky...

I agree with brickelodeon. Those sets are amazing Squid, you are becoming a genius builder, keep up the amazing work. mini/smile

Very cool.  The B&W sets the mood.

In a hospital bed, the pole sticking up is always standing directly up.  There is no tilt, not on any ones I've seen, at least, and that makes it feel kinda awkward.
Change it a around a little bit so that the pole sticks up and your bed will look really, really nice.  You have done well.

Re: Sets and Props Critique Thread

Can we see how figures look on them?
Other than the pole issue, they look great.

The bed looks a bit...I dunno, busy, perhaps?
It's detailed and cool and all, just, something don't look quite right.
Although that'll probably be fine once it's in a set.

Re: Sets and Props Critique Thread

Okay... I can't really consider this as a prop but it sort of is but it's not fixed posed.

Re: Sets and Props Critique Thread

You need to be using ball joints or that will be unanimatable.
Those joints move in large increments which are too much for good animation.

But otherwise the design looks really nice.

I separated it from the bed so now it has it's own stand. And thank you!

Thank you! I'm trying a redesign, but I'm not getting far so I might go back.

I'll post a few pictures later today, and I agree about the bed being busy. Do you think that changing the front panel to being just a tile would make it less busy?

Thanks guys this really helped.

Legocloniac477,
One thing that may help is removing the grille/vent part from under the tiles at the back.
I like the tiles and the 1x1 round, but that grille just doesn't quite look right.
Maybe try changing it to a normal smooth tile?

The front is fine, so with the pole gone and the pieces mentioned above replaced or removed that should fix it right up.

So I fixed the grill issue and I changed the front panel. I think it looks a bit less busy. Also there's the IV stand, tell me what you guys think.

nice, is it possible to put a 1x4 on the bottom of the 'mattress'?

To make it look thicker? I could try to fit that in.
