Mud's Pepper

 Our second stop this week was on Littlefield grid, on a region called Pepperland. the HG Address is as usual at the end of this post.

This signature build by Mudpuddle Cleanslate is a celebration of the movie Yellow Submarine, and comprises a pair of regions, one showing the land-based scenes from the famous animated movie, the other (Pepperland II) dedicateed to the underwater part of the action, as shown here. 

Mud has cleverly rendered in 3 D the 2D drawings of stylized people, fantastic animals and improbably exotic plants, as well as surreal elements like the pointing hand that flies like a rocket around the region.

Mudpuddle has a bunch of excellent videos of his builds on his channel, this one of Pepperland is my favorite, it catches lots of aspects of the build that are easy to overlook.

Thirza Ember: if you don't know the story, this site is a good source https://www.reelstreets.com/films/yellow-submarine/

Lux Tergeste: My daughters would watch it again and again
Thirza.Ember: maybe Lux can tell us about the film and why is it still such a favourite
 Lux Tergeste: Well, it is a bit visually nonsensical, and a good many years have gone by, unfortunately - somebody was chasing the submarine, if I remember well

Speaking of Submarines, apart from the one on top of the pyramid, there's a much larger, visitable version of the craft up in the sky, at about 100m. 

Nara Nook: this is cool :)

Marlu Nic: I am enchanted

Thirza Ember: ok what is your  favorite Beatles song?

Mal Burns: can't possibly anwser that one

James Atlloud: 'Day in the life'

Nara Nook: Paperback Writer

That was when we all crashed. Oh it's easy to say a script did it, or read into it all that Vivox/FS voodoo. Much easier to blame Chester the animesh cat who, having made a dozen teleports in less time than it takes to clean out a litter tray, decided to go ahead and bork me. Thanks to the great Nara Malone for catching the moment for posterity!
