Alt text / image descriptions are available for the images in this post.


A dastardly ambush in the beautiful Bluebird pass is taking place. But at least it allows us to do a fun deep dive into all the fun corners of this build.

#2368 TECHNIQUE ANALYSIS: Ambush in Bluebird pass by Josh on Flickr A beautiful 18 x 18 stud wide diorama piece is depicted. On one side is a big rock wall with a waterfall in the middle, running to the other side of the build. On the left side are some dry, thorny bushes with a villain with a revolver lurking behind them. On the other side is a campfire and a bag with a gold crystal piece. There is also a dead tree with a raven sitting on top of it and another minifigure sitting and sleeping below it, with his hat resting on his face. On the rock wall is a cactus and a second tree, with a bird nest including a blue bird. A dastardly ambush in the beautiful Bluebird pass is taking place. But at least it allows us to do a fun deep dive into all the fun corners of this build.

The flexible hose piece 27965, also known as the zipline piece, has connector ends that fit on bars or stems. Wrapping it around other parts such as the stem piece 24855 can create cool nests or dry thorn bushes! The tree with the nest of the infamous criminal known as the “Bluebird” uses black minifigure hands 983 as branches.

Besides awesome SNOT-rockwork, there is also the small waterfall, which uses 2 trans-clear bars 42445 with stud at their ends and bends them to emulate a water stream and it looks fantastic. The splash effect uses a lot of smaller trans-clear studs 4073.

The cactus on the rock wall uses studs 85861 with a hole on a flexible hose 40161. Just three different types of pieces allow for one amazing campfire. Here is how to do it. Take the modified stud piece 20482 and attach the claw bar 4872 to it’s handle and then attach a flame like piece 37775 in the small hole on top of the stud’s handle. Replicate that a bunch of times and you can arrange all the branches to a cool looking campfire.

Again, with a low parts variety, it’s still possible to create a cool looking structure as demonstrated by this dead tree, which just uses a bunch of hinge and claw pieces as well as bars. The raven on top of the dead tree just can’t seem to stay away from western settings. (It first appeared in the Lone Ranger sets.)
