sweetsha Posted August 26, 2015 Posted August 26, 2015 Hi everyone, This is a creation made for a pirates MOC contest on French board BrickPirate. Still having some good old sails in decent state - this was the time to bring back the Imperial Armada to the front of the scene Well, maybe not at their best day as they are here facing an unexpected encounter ... Here are some details of the squid's attack : And our poor lads panicking : Hope you'll like it Quote
Dubbadgrim Posted August 26, 2015 Posted August 26, 2015 Really well done designs here (especially the squid), and lots of action too ! I don't envy the lookout in the crow's nest Quote
James Wellington Posted August 26, 2015 Posted August 26, 2015 Really like the ship and the squid and the fact that it's Imperial Armada Great work! Quote
Heksu Posted August 26, 2015 Posted August 26, 2015 Cool! :) But some more splash on the water could add realism to your nice creation? Quote
Actor Builder Posted August 26, 2015 Posted August 26, 2015 This is so cute/tragic. I love it. I'm sure the soldiers did something to deserve this Kraken's wrath. Quote
Spader Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 Beautiful squid, and very nice ship. Keep it up! Quote
Staslegomaster Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 I advise you to put it in Pillage the Village Contest. I saw a nice squid, just like your, in LEGO ideas. Perhaps that inspired you. The MOC is bloody enough for that! Quote
dr_spock Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 Good work. The squid is great. Where's the ship's cook? Calamari for dinner? Quote
Captain Braunsfeld Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 Phantastic ! I like the eyes of the beast. Quote
sweetsha Posted August 27, 2015 Author Posted August 27, 2015 Thanks for your comments Glad you like it. Cool! :) But some more splash on the water could add realism to your nice creation? Yup, you're 100% right, I should have done that. The water is indeed pretty quiet despise the attack I advise you to put it in Pillage the Village Contest. I saw a nice squid, just like your, in LEGO ideas. Perhaps that inspired you. The MOC is bloody enough for that! This scene was created for another contest, so I will not submit it for the PtV contest as it would be against the rules (but maybe build something else for this fun contest ) And I didn't see the squid you're referring to on Ideas - this one was build with pure imagination ^^ (and a little inspiration from Zoidberg's face (Futurama) for the beast's head) Quote
Kolonialbeamter Posted August 28, 2015 Posted August 28, 2015 Wow! This is a fun creation. Well, not funny for those poor souls on board, but fun to watch the squid 'embrace' its newly found friends. Well, somehow I'm expecting Captain Braunsfeld now to come up with a huge monkey creation and have the two critters fight it out. Keep it up! Quote
LegoFjotten Posted August 28, 2015 Posted August 28, 2015 Very nice MOC, I like the squid and the action feel of the scene! Quote
Gary The Procrastinator Posted August 28, 2015 Posted August 28, 2015 Well done on that squid! The expression is perfect: "Ahhhh, time for a little snack..." Quote
Staslegomaster Posted August 30, 2015 Posted August 30, 2015 Hi, Sweetsha. I recently asked what had inspired you to creat such a nice squid. And I compared it to the following LEGO project. Though it is a giant octopus there. But I like your squid more maybe because it's more detailed and besides I prefer unusual building techniques. https://ideas.lego.com/projects/106569 Quote
LegoPercyJ Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 Cool! I like the way you made the squid! Quote
horizon Posted September 1, 2015 Posted September 1, 2015 Heya, very nicely done. I really like the cartoon approach. Quote
sweetsha Posted September 1, 2015 Author Posted September 1, 2015 Thanks again for the comments, glad you like the scene. Hi, Sweetsha.

But I like your squid more maybe because it's more detailed and besides I prefer unusual building techniques. https://ideas.lego.com/projects/106569 I didn't knew this one, it is funny too, and is maybe more accurate to a real octopus than mine - I build a kind of mix between a squid, an octopus and Zoidberg. At the end the hardest part was to find a proper word to qualify the beast, well my choice was "squid" Great work, I love it! Wow, it's an honor Captain' Quote
MontyPython Posted September 1, 2015 Posted September 1, 2015 Fantastic build, that squid is really well made! Quote
LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted September 1, 2015 Posted September 1, 2015 Very nice MOC! I like the giant squid and I love to see the fear in the eyes of the crew! Quote
ManInATopHat Posted September 2, 2015 Posted September 2, 2015 Awesome work! The ship is awesome, and the use of Armada colours is a refreshing change. Well done on the setup and presentation of the minifigures onboard as well. The squid is freaking adorable. Great work. Quote
Blufiji Posted September 3, 2015 Posted September 3, 2015 The squid just looks like it wants to play. Quote
Anders T Posted September 9, 2015 Posted September 9, 2015 Cute and scary like a kid with a hammer Quote
