Osaka Inspired MOC

[WesternOutlaw]

OK, blending in concepts of existing Lego Ninja fortresses and pictures of Osaka Castle in Japan, I've built yet another Ninja MOC I'll call the Red & White Samurai Fortress.

A shot of the entire MOC. It's four floors high.

A shot of the 1st floor. Ninja theme castle wall pieces highlight the stone foundation:

The third and fourth floors:

The Red army leaving the castle for battle:

A close-up of the troops. I love their black helmets:

A shot of the whole MOC again from a different perspective:

I didn't do anything fancy with the interior of this fortress, so did not bother taking any shots.

I think this MOC captures the existing Ninja theme design and looks a little more Japanese than the previous Red and Black fortresses.

ya, this one is my favorite yet... the color scheme is right on *y*

i do think the first floor clashes a little with the upper floors. it seems very detailed at the bottom, and then above that, we just have white walls.

i would suggest adding more detail to the upper levels to even it out. as opposed to decreasing the detail on the lower level.

dang you build fast 8-

Mr. Brickster, your on fire with these ninjas! Same as Brickminer, I think this looks like the best one yet, although that brown/black rope hanging of the roof looks very out of place.

This is definitely a great model, and you really have a talent for speed-building ;-)

What I'd LOVE to see though is a MOC that you spent a few months on, I bet you'd blow us away with it!

I wanted to try using some fancy graphics like Brickminer and others that do this sort of thing, so here's the MOC as a new Lego Legend, Ninja Canyon Fortress:

Note: this is not an actual set. Lego name used only for graphic purposes.

hey that looks good !!! i like the background image *y* did you take out the color on purpose ??? so that the color of the MOC stood out more ??? it was really effective in any case 8-

[WesternOutlaw]

Thanks for the photo tip. I don't usually shoot from the bottom. I tried it and I think it came out very nicely:

[Starwars4J]

Much improved! Now just deal with the flying horse and we'll have a set :-P

[WesternOutlaw]

Flying? He's grounded. That's a path he just came up from.

[Starwars4J]

Ah, I see. Well in that case he's a giant! The size of trees ;-) I think the angle might need to be adjusted to accompany that of the castle itself?

[WesternOutlaw]

ya, I guess he is a little big.

At first I thought this one looked like 4886 Building Bonanza and wasn't too excited. Then I saw your "set pics". They give it a whole different look! Guess it was the green baseplate. Great work!

And yeah, you do build damn fast ;-)

[Brick Miner]

OMG 8-

Now here's the kicker: I've been using a 56K dial up connection and due to a lot of line static on local phone service, I get numerous disconnects >:-( . I finally went to a high speed cable modem (4MB/sec.), but just hooked it up last night. I've been loading all these images over a 56K modem.

I will upload a picture, then build a little, upload another picture, etc... *wacko* I have to say that high speed is great!

OK Brickminer, it's your turn to share some WW MOCs. :-P

[Brick Miner]

OK Brickminer, it's your turn to share some WW MOCs. :-P

well, unfortunately... our anticipation ( ;-) ) is just going to have to wait, as i am awaiting piece from BL. and all the anxiety in the world isn't going to make the mail go any faster :-D however, i plan to release the first in my Ghost Town series next month. im still on schedule X-D the Town & Train Forum skin is finished as of last night *y*

oh, and i really REALLY need some replies here too http://eurobricks.hosting.ipsyn.com/eurofo...?showtopic=6169.

but you know, just cause you asked... i'll "leak" some images (in the true anxious LEGO collector tradition :-D :-D :-D ) tonight or tommorow !!! don't dim your lights too soon *skull*
