Niek Geurts of MrBrick.nl recently posted a lovely LEGO version of Korben Dallas’s favorite restaurant from The Fifth Element.
While I love the boat’s hull and all the details Nieks has included, his technique for adding the background is just as interesting:
I wouldn’t have expected that taking a picture in front of a computer screen would turn out so well!
I’ve used computer screens a couple of times:

It’s a good, quick and dirty way of providing a background :)
I love the model, but it’s the background technique that I’m finding particularly interesting; I love the way that the background accentuates the model so vividly – excellent effect.
