Rolli Posted August 15, 2015 Posted August 15, 2015 Captain Hook by Rolli, on Flickr "Allow me? I am Captain James Bartholomew Hook, world's most famous crook - captain of the fine mighty Jolly Roger and its crew, honorable pirate, finder of many treasures and killer of the Croco... Okay, who am I kidding.." For some reason, Disney's Captain Hook was always a favorite of mine. Not really evil, clumsy and funny at times, having his own nemesis in the shape of a comical crocodile - and always being outwitted by Peter Pan. Or clumsy Mr. Smee. Long story short: I had to build him - in this iconic pose, including the crocodile. It was great fun and a challenge to build at this scale, especially with those limiting colors (I'm talking to you, magenta!). A pirate contest on the Norwegian forum Brikkelauget"]http://brikkelauget....o"]Brikkelauget provided me with the perfect opportunity so it had to be done :D Looking forward to hearing what you think and if you like Mr. Hook!

Exetrius Posted August 16, 2015 Posted August 16, 2015 Spot on, looks absolutely fantastic! The crocodile is just the perfect addition Quote
Palixa And The Bricks Posted August 16, 2015 Posted August 16, 2015 Amazing build! Great colours and clever parts usage! I like the posing and the facial expressions of both Hook and the crocodile Quote
Edwin Korstanje Posted August 16, 2015 Posted August 16, 2015 Stunning creation with great expression on Hooks face :thumbup: Quote
Automaton Posted August 16, 2015 Posted August 16, 2015 This is so amazing, The look on his face, the iconic pose. You got it right 100% Love it!! Quote
Schreeuwwitje Posted August 16, 2015 Posted August 16, 2015 Wow! Perfect recognition of the scene! Very good! Quote
Staslegomaster Posted August 17, 2015 Posted August 17, 2015 An unspeakable LEGO masterpiece!! My jaw dropped just wider that that of your crocodile. Quote
Garmadon Posted August 17, 2015 Posted August 17, 2015 Ha, ha, fantastic build and posing Rolli, superb expression on the Captain's face, and the color-scheme is excellent as well! Great crocodile too, and congrats on the front-page! Quote
Lego Otaku Posted August 17, 2015 Posted August 17, 2015 That eyes looks like it's popping out as Hook is about to meet his demise. Now I need to dig out my DVD and watch it. Quote
Robert8 Posted August 19, 2015 Posted August 19, 2015 Love it! Captain Hook is one of my favorite Disney villains :wub: Quote
hoopoe Posted August 19, 2015 Posted August 19, 2015 Another excuse for LEGO Friends which brought us the new colors. The highlight in this model is the face, which looks better drawn than i the original film. It captures all the emotions one might expect from such a scene - or even more - and with just so few parts. Congratulations! Quote
Bfenz Posted August 21, 2015 Posted August 21, 2015 Lovely and clever build. Great use of parts and I love the colours you used. Quote
Ardelon Posted August 26, 2015 Posted August 26, 2015 Wonderful work on the facial expression (It looks like the eyes were made for this)! And on the entire build of the captain too! My one little nitpick is thatthe knees look toobig. Is it necessary for the posing? Quote
Rolli Posted August 30, 2015 Author Posted August 30, 2015 My one little nitpick is thatthe knees look toobig. Is it necessary for the posing? Yep. They need to be that big since they are covering up the mixel hinges underneath. They look great in person though, the right knee on the photo just looks really extreme at this angle. Thank you all for the great feedback! I was blown away by the reactions I received for Hook! Best Markus Quote
