Tomsche Posted January 7, 2016 Posted January 7, 2016 After two days of sailing, the HMS Green Dragon has dropped anchor at a small, isolated island. Accompanied by the famous `first contact specialist` Your Honourable Doctor Atreides Lapzwanzer, the crew sets about exploring a mysterious cavern. This cavern is rumoured to have connections to the lost continent of Crappa Nui, a long lost civilisation of gigantic creatures that according to legend roamed the lands and oceans in ages past. The local tribeshead, L`ulkoek`us, received the daring explorers with open arms, and guided them into the cave... Okay, so perhaps not all crewmen where intrested in mysterious grotto`s and tropical birds... So I finally found a suitable thing to do with that huge Bionicle packaging head I got in a lot somewhere... Quote
Bart Posted January 7, 2016 Posted January 7, 2016 Nice scene, you can wipe me up with your name choices though Quote
Tomsche Posted January 7, 2016 Author Posted January 7, 2016 Amongst other references But the dutch names are basically professor Atreides "charlatan" and chief "bullsh**" if translated freely ;-) And then there is ofc the Bionicle reference since I build around the mask hehe Quote
Captain Braunsfeld Posted January 7, 2016 Posted January 7, 2016 I was not aware that such a strange piece exists - ok, you've used it well. But what is the secret of the mysterious cavern? Quote
Tomsche Posted January 7, 2016 Author Posted January 7, 2016 It`s actually the top of the old packaging cans: Quote
Gideon Posted January 7, 2016 Posted January 7, 2016 That was indeed a weird brick, but undoubtedly lego Nice minifigs, but I think the ground could have been improved with some more details. Quote
Captain Dee Posted January 14, 2016 Posted January 14, 2016 Interesting use of a strange piece and good job on the cavern exterior although a little more texture and/or vegetation would be nice. I must confess the names are a bit much for me though! Anyway, it looks like the islander minifigs are in their element. Nice work. Quote
Tomsche Posted January 14, 2016 Author Posted January 14, 2016 The names are hard to translate, being actually flemish dialect names. Here, they are less `extensive` in meaning then how to best translate them. Quote
Maxim I Posted January 15, 2016 Posted January 15, 2016 Cool entry! I like how you succesfully incorporated an useless big element in your MOC!! So chief L'Ulkoek'Us huh? Quote
Bregir Posted January 15, 2016 Posted January 15, 2016 Nice cave - from the outside it really works well, although the backside shot does expose the non-legoish look of that big piece. I really like your natives, btw! Quote
blackdeathgr Posted January 15, 2016 Posted January 15, 2016 (edited) Nice moc and very inventive use of that part :) Edited January 15, 2016 by blackdeathgr Quote
