Building Contest 2012 - Number 3 - Whale Bleu
« on: February 23, 2012, 11:04:02 PM »
Name – Whale Bleu
Cost – 57,338

For a while now, I had been meaning to try something with water. This seemed like the ideal time to do so. But what to do. A boat or vessel seemed too unimaginative. So what better than nature’s largest and one of its most gentle animals, the blue whale! But of course an adult blue whale would be much too large for a 40 by 40 lot, and so why not a baby blue whale!

This contest was definitely a lot of fun. I had not really worked with the water tool in too much detail and so I was able to learn quite a bit.

The main structure is housed within the body of the whale, which you can see here. Don’t worry though! He is not beached, the little guy is just having some fun on shore.



The entrance however, is in the front. These two doors would be the main doors of the unit.



Now here is where things get fun! You might be wondering, well how does anyone actually get into the house. The answer is through an underground basement!



To the left of the entrance is a small garden like area, where you can throw in a few tables, chairs and a grill for an outdoor hangout.



To the right is a small fountain and a bike area. No cars here! They make too much noise for a blue whale. You can also see the swimming area, which seamlessly borders the ocean water.



In the back, you can see the blowhole as well as the tail.



And now for the nighttime images! To me, the entire unit just seems even lovelier at night. To the right you can see the colorful fountain, which comes to life at night.



The torrent of water is also clearer at night.



And of course, our little whale’s eyes take on a nice glow at night as well.





That’s it for now! Thanks for reading!
