Jellyeater Posted February 20, 2016 Posted February 20, 2016 Here is my Amazon Temple with my favourite Lego character: And movie with traps: Quote
Hobbythom Posted February 20, 2016 Posted February 20, 2016 Really cool! It is a magnificent temple. I really like the colour used for the river itself, spot on! Quote
Dosenbrot Posted February 20, 2016 Posted February 20, 2016 Captures the jungle-theme really well! Great work! Quote
DuckBricks Posted February 20, 2016 Posted February 20, 2016 Great! Brings back so much nostalgia of playing with Adventurers... Awesome job! Quote
Graham Gidman Posted February 20, 2016 Posted February 20, 2016 Great stuff! I love all the vegetation on the first one. Quote
Robert8 Posted February 20, 2016 Posted February 20, 2016 Amazing! The Adventurers theme is my favorite LEGO theme ever and this is a wonderful homage! Congratulations! :thumbup: Quote
geezerman402 Posted February 20, 2016 Posted February 20, 2016 Great work! It reminds me of set 5976, but turned up to eleven. Quote
lifeinplastic Posted February 20, 2016 Posted February 20, 2016 (edited) Fantastic MOC! So good to see my favourite Lego theme being re-explored. You can imagine the sound of the water crashing down from the cleverly-built waterfall (is this made using parts from the Cinderella set?)as well as the busy sounds of the jungle fauna hiding in the abundant foliage. The boat is the perfect vehicle for navigating the murky waterways (a realistic colour choice). The mangrove-style tree roots also set the scene nicely. I just wonder if this is not more of a Mexican/Central American location rather than the Amazon, as the temple looks quite Mayan-inspired but certainly not a criticism. Also I don't think crocodiles are actually found in the Amazon - (just their smaller caiman cousins). It pleases me to see the CMF series 13 palaeontologist used, as always thought she would be a perfect recruit for Johnny Thunder's band of adventurers. Hopefully there will be plenty more 'Adventurers-compatible' figures in future series - or better still a return of the theme - do we dare to dream...?!

gamejutzu Posted February 20, 2016 Posted February 20, 2016 Awesome! This reminds me, has LEGO actually made an Indiana Jones temple situation like this MOC before? Quote
mediumsnowman Posted February 20, 2016 Posted February 20, 2016 (edited) This is an awesome MOC! I think the swamp water would look better in trans-green (so it seems more water-y) though the olive green looks really good too. I love that steamboat, and the rockwork is great inside and out. I spy an Aztec Warrior! This reminds me, has LEGO actually made an Indiana Jones temple situation like this MOC before? This one comes close, with the boulder and all.

BrickCurve Posted February 20, 2016 Posted February 20, 2016 Great temple, the trees, river and waterfall are also excellent. Quote
gamejutzu Posted February 21, 2016 Posted February 21, 2016 This one Oh, okay. So there is no set that's corridor-like with traps. LEGO should get on that with a new (and hopefully gender balanced) Adventurers reboot. Quote
Kretnica Posted February 21, 2016 Posted February 21, 2016 Pretty cool. Brings back memories, i loved Adventurers theme as a kid (still do). Quote
Forresto Posted February 21, 2016 Posted February 21, 2016 Favorite theme hands down. This MOC is such an excellent revival of it as well. Total nostalgia trip. Great use of combining the old and newer elements together so fluidly. The construction is great and all around it's very nice job. Amazing MOC! Quote
Blitzismydog Posted February 21, 2016 Posted February 21, 2016 I tried to start a list of what all I liked about this build, and ended up with everything, ha ha. Seriously, though, the foliage, the pools in front of the temple, the interior relief work, all fantastic. Quote
Windex123 Posted February 21, 2016 Posted February 21, 2016 This is great. I really like the paddle boat. Quote
Jellyeater Posted February 21, 2016 Author Posted February 21, 2016 I try to modernize look of the minifigs. The last three series of collectable minifigures was very helpfull. Quote
Peppermint_M Posted February 21, 2016 Posted February 21, 2016 That is fantastic. An excellent build, great details and clever design. Thanks for sharing, I love Adventurers and MOCs are always appreciated. Quote
LegoPercyJ Posted February 21, 2016 Posted February 21, 2016 This is a brilliant MOC! The traps are fantastic, and I love the way you did the outside temple! Quote
agadoijo Posted February 22, 2016 Posted February 22, 2016 This is awesome! Love the outside and inside of the temple. That waterfall is very clever and the foliage is nicelly spread. Very good work. Quote
Actor Builder Posted February 23, 2016 Posted February 23, 2016 This is a great creation. My only concern is the hat you gave Thunder. It just doesn't look like ol' Johnny to me. Excellent thing here! Quote
sander1992 Posted March 3, 2016 Posted March 3, 2016 This looks really nice. The vegetation looks good and the river is nicely done. The temple has some nice details and the use of the plastic waterfall is really good. It is nice to see the action inside the temple. A nice upgrade of the boat/ship of Gabbaro. Quote
MaasEffekt Posted March 16, 2016 Posted March 16, 2016 Unfortunately my dark age started around 1998-99, so i just own a handful of Adventurers Lego. Now looking back to that theme i feel very unlucky that i missed that era. Great build, congrats! Quote
