🎶 Robin Hood and Little John walking through the forest / Laughin' back and forth at what the other has to say / Reminiscin', this-n-thattin', havin' such a good time / Oo-de-lally, oo-de-lally, golly, what a day 🎶

Robin Miller, 1973

Hello community!

We've asked to our spotlighted artist Anne to provide an exclusive picture for Brickcentral along with some insights on how he made it, and here's what he have to say:

"Right at the beginning there was the idea to tell a story about a street musician, singing and playing guitar. She would stand at the edge of the city park during her lunch break. Someone passing by throws a tip into the hat before her. Her little dog observes this and thinks "Woof, I’m hungry! Why can’t this coin be a dog treat for me."

The challenge here was to place the coin hanging on a wire in the position where it would look as if it was thrown to land in the turned up hat.

For the background I placed the Botanical Garden set and as underground a grey floor tile. I sprinkled a little glitter in front of and behind the figures to create a reflection effect. Then I put a few bits of decorative moss to create the illusion of bushes.

This scene should play in daylight, to underline the joie de vivre and love of musi, so I put up a white foamboard to left of the figures in a certain angle to reflect the light coming through the window. This light then hit the foamboard on the right side and illuminated the scene. Here a few additional placed sheets of folded white paper helped to lead the light."
