Erdbeereis Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 The Power Miners think that their goal of protecting the energy crystals from the rock monsters is noble. The rock monsters on the other hand, not so much... Better watch your back! More pictures on Flickr. Thanks! Quote
Patriot720 Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 (edited) That's a nice little MOC! I like how you put firox underneath in the lava The 1x1x1 translucent studs also add a nice touch to the rocks. pat Edited January 28, 2009 by Patriot720 Quote
mandziarat Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 Great MOC, I love Power Miners and MOC's about them. I wish I could be like you, Edbeereis Quote
Svelte Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 I love the flying rock monster - it looks like he's diving into a mosh pit Clever technique to hold him in place as well. I like the glinting rock crystals and especially the differently angled 1x1 slopes in the lava section - it gives the area a bit of texture. Nice work, Erds. Quote
Erdbeereis Posted January 29, 2009 Author Posted January 29, 2009 Thanks guys! I wish I could be like you, Edbeereis Quote

Darth Yoda Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 Wow, this is awesome. My only concern are the orange cones that are being used as supports... Quote
Erdbeereis Posted January 29, 2009 Author Posted January 29, 2009 Wow, this is awesome. My only concern are the orange cones that are being used as supports... Thanks! It's unfortunately too unstable without them. Is there something you would recommend using instead? Quote
MacK Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 Thanks! It's unfortunately too unstable without them. Is there something you would recommend using instead? Maybe you could replace them with a slightly larger pillar made from slopes and bricks, it would look a little more natural. However this is still an excellent MOC by all means I to like the cave wall effect and the flying rock monster. Quote
Darth Yoda Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 Thanks! It's unfortunately too unstable without them. Is there something you would recommend using instead? Maybe some clear pieces? Quote
Zepher Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 Very nice! The under area, the orange, seriously looks like it's glowing! Good work! Quote
Rayman Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 Looks very hot down there! The heavy use of orange is brilliantly bright. Quote
Brickthing Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 Thanks! It's unfortunately too unstable without them. Is there something you would recommend using instead? You could turn the support into an entire wall of one side to make it the corner of a lava chamber. Very nice MOC, I love all the texturing in both parts. As a suggestion, the rock monster might portray his intentions better if his mouth was wide open ready to get the miner in his mouth. Quote
Erdbeereis Posted January 29, 2009 Author Posted January 29, 2009 As a suggestion, the rock monster might portray his intentions better if his mouth was wide open ready to get the miner in his mouth. It actually is, it's just hard to tell from the angle. Thanks for the kind words everyone! Quote
Bricks Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 Great work I reallly love your Power Miners Moc. The first we've could ever seen. And a great idea to make two ''rooms'', from each side. ...so thanks for showing this us! Greetings 'Bricks' Quote
brickzone Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 I don't have any power miners myself (too much else on the wishlist) but I really like the premise and execution of the theme. So it's nice to see an MoC that fits in with the theme perfectly and uses the elements of it to full effect. Quite a convincing little scene captured in a moment of time. I like the simple effect acheived by the 1x1 trans bricks in the wall, and the orange lava chamber below is a nice bit of setting. I think the only way to avoid the support at the front would be to make the back wall attached to a support of about two bricks wide (possibly supported by technic rods - e.g. in 2x2 round bricks - you could hide this by attaching another plate to the rear of the supports), and also support the roof platform by constructing an arched roof from the back wall (using slopes perhaps with random bricks connected instead in places) - and possibly have technic plates between the top platform and the curved roof - attaching these techic plates to the interior wall support at the back. All of that would be a complete rebuild just for the sake of removing a pillar. So I would just go with either leaving it as is, or using trans-orange cones. Quote
Erdbeereis Posted January 29, 2009 Author Posted January 29, 2009 I think I'll just leave it. Thanks for the suggestions though! Quote
Asuka Posted January 30, 2009 Posted January 30, 2009 That´s a wonderful smooth work. I like the very fine action and the colorful neat background as well. The PM MFs with all their nifty face expression work really good for MOCing too. Quote
