Plissken Posted May 17, 2011 Posted May 17, 2011 This MOC is based on a scene of the last episode of HBO's Game of Thrones which impressed me very much. Enjoy, but beware of spoilers! Tyrion Lannister, the imp, was captured by Lady Stark and brought to her sister Lysa Arryn. She resides at the Eyrie, a giant fortress. At this fortress Tyrion is put in a sparse prison cell. There he realise that these cells are no ordinary cells. The fortress is so high, the cells only need three walls to hold the prisoners captive.

I don't know the books so I was really surprised to see the open side of the prison cell and the hundreds of meters to the ground. I tried to capture this feel with some kind of forced perspective. I hope it worked out. Quote
Hellingly Posted May 17, 2011 Posted May 17, 2011 OMG! A Game of Thrones MOC! I LOVE that show! :D That is brilliant, such a cool cell. Love the Tyrion minifig. He is one of my fave characters. Quote
lightningtiger Posted May 17, 2011 Posted May 17, 2011 Excellent creation 'Plissken', he better watch his step....that first step is a lou-lou ! I like to flooring in there, but no rats....well they do have to eat eh ? Brick On 'Plissken' ! Quote
Zyniker Posted May 17, 2011 Posted May 17, 2011 Recently read the book, but haven't seen the show yet. I always envisioned the outside landscape to be covered by snow. Funny. Nontheless, great rendition. Quote
Joebot Posted May 17, 2011 Posted May 17, 2011 I'm in the middle of my 4th or 5th re-read of "A Game of Thrones" (don't have HBO, so haven't see the TV series yet). This is a really nice MOC! I envisioned the cell being a bit smaller though. I always wondered why we don't see more "Song of Ice and Fire"-inspired MOCs. It's a terrific book series. And the heraldry lines up well with TLC's Castle heraldry. Starks: Wolfpack Lannisters: Royal Knights Targaryens: Dragon Knights Baratheons: Forestmen Arryns: Black Falcons Quote
Angeli Posted May 17, 2011 Posted May 17, 2011 I must confess that I did not recognize (or even read) title of this moc, and I've just glens it with an eye and closed it. And then it hit me how familiar it looked, and I connected with TV series that I watched yesterday, for the first time. There can only be sad "bravo" for Moc that is recognizable without words :) Well...Bravo! :) Quote
unbornchikken Posted May 17, 2011 Posted May 17, 2011 Been loving the show, intend to start reading and loving the books, and I love this MOC. Hoping to see more Game of Thrones/Song of Ice and Fire MOCs. Quote
Plissken Posted May 17, 2011 Author Posted May 17, 2011 Thank you all for the comments. I'm planning to start reading the books, but at the moment I only know the tv series. Sorry for any inaccuracies. The tv show is fantastic and I can't wait to see the next one. By the way I build a second MOC for the show: Jon Snow at the Wall. Seems I'm in a GoT building mood I also have an idea for a MOC featuring Arya, my favorite character. Quote
meyerc13 Posted May 18, 2011 Posted May 18, 2011 Very nice MOC. I love the books, haven't seen the show since I don't have HBO. It's good to hear so many people like it, hopefully I'll like it when I finally see it. Quote
Sandy Posted May 18, 2011 Posted May 18, 2011 This is a great scene, and I think you've done a good job capturing the feeling of it. I always wondered why we don't see more "Song of Ice and Fire"-inspired MOCs. It's a terrific book series. And the heraldry lines up well with TLC's Castle heraldry. Starks: Wolfpack Lannisters: Royal Knights Targaryens: Dragon Knights Baratheons: Forestmen Arryns: Black Falcons I've actually thought of this as well. The different LEGO Castle factions do fit neatly into the GoT world. Quote
Praiter Yed Posted May 18, 2011 Posted May 18, 2011 Haven't seen this episode yet - arghh spoilers. This looks great and your forced perspective works brilliantly - how tall is it really? Quote
BearHeart Posted May 18, 2011 Posted May 18, 2011 Yow! A Song of Ice and Fire moc! I've read all the books already and I'm really enjoying the show. Good job on the Tyrion figure, it looks just like he does on the show. I'd love for LEGO to make this series into a license theme but with all the adult content I doubt that it will ever happen. :) Quote
Plissken Posted May 21, 2011 Author Posted May 21, 2011 Thanks everybody for the comments. This looks great and your forced perspective works brilliantly - how tall is it really? Thank you. It was my first attempt at such a perspective. The building is ca. 40cm high. Here is a behind the scene picture of the build. Enjoy. Behind the Cell by plisskeneb, on Flickr Quote
