Although the title of this work is "The Pink Palace", it is closely related to another work, "Coraline". This horror animated movie may already be known to many.
On December 30, 2023, the ".Ghost Mother — Pink Palace(The Italian Riviera) received 10,000 votes on the LEGO IDEAS platform, becoming the 36th entry selected for the third round of IDEAS review in 2023. We look forward to the results of the review next summer.
On the ideas platform, the author under the name Lordclimentos66749 has always been keen to create new models and designs. From the very beginning when he only owned a few LEGO sets, he loved the activity and now has his own LEGO studio, where he still designs MOC models as a hobby. He will also occasionally ** his most proud work on Rebrickable. About 5 years ago, lordclimentos66749 joined the ideas platform.
His work "Ghost Mother – Pink Palace" was submitted on August 3, 2023, and as of December 30, it has received 10,000 votes in support and lasted for a total of 149 days. This is the first work of lordclimentos66749 to receive 10,000 votes, so let's congratulate him on joining the "10,000 Votes Club".
Coraline is a stop-motion animated film based on the same name** directed by Henry Selick that premiered in select theaters in February 2009.
The film mainly tells the story of Coraline, a little girl, who goes through a series of bizarre and thrilling adventures - she discovers a mysterious door in her home that leads to another world, and when she passes through it, she discovers that there are also "Daddy and Mommy" there, but their eyes are amazingly sewn with buttons.
Although the Chinese name of the movie sounds quite scary, in fact, it is more full of adventure and imagination charm than pure horror film. This is a work that deserves to be discovered many times, each time.
In the movie, the Pink Palace is the house where the ghost mother lives in another world that Coraline sees after passing through that mysterious door. This girly building has become an iconic phenomenon.
lordclimentos66749 has always been fascinated by the movie "Ghost Mother" and the pink palace of the Jones family in the film. He put a lot of effort and effort into creating this highly detailed model.
Faced with the limitation of the number of parts, he worked to recreate the minifigure-scale pink palace as accurately as possible, especially the intricate textures and shapes of its shingle-like exteriors.
The model mainly uses pink and white parts, with pink forming the walls, white for windows and fences, and black for roofing.
The back of the model is designed to be open and can be unfolded through a double hinge, allowing players to appreciate the intricate furnishings and layout inside.
The interior is colourful, with not only a fully equipped kitchen, but also an intimate living room with a fireplace and crystal snowballs, next to radiators and green sofas.
The tower room next to the entrance has a water boiler, while upstairs is the Jones family's father's office, complete with a printer, computer and piano.
In the attic is the apartment of another tenant of the Pink Palace, who runs his own rat circus, adding to the fun.
Although the living room is high and empty, with a single color, the kitchen is rich in detail, and a variety of light aqua green cabinets and furniture make the space full of life, which is also a classic scene in the movie.
However, fans of Ghost Mother may be a little disappointed, as the piece doesn't seem to contain any of the dolls, which is a pity. In addition, the author did not disclose how many parts were used.
In terms of the construction and production of the model, this piece is relatively simple, even somewhat unpretentious. This reminds me of another work of the same theme that has also entered the third round of IDEAS review in 2023, also titled "Ghost Mother - Pink Palace", and its author is thebigchicken. Although the two are broadly similar compared to the works that received 10,000 votes today, thebigchicken's work appears more minimalist in the interior details.
At present, in the third round of IDEAS review in 2023, two works from the pink palace theme of "Ghost Mother" have been successfully selected. Which work do you think has a better chance of passing the review?
