Jacob Nion Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 After reaching Round 4 of mocpages MELO (may you remember my "last march of treebeard") my new category was "Mount Doom". You probably saw the fantastic entry of my opponent matthew oh. The judges already made their decision and gave me the privilege of marching in round 5, the semi finals. It was a very tough round against matthew and I want to pay tribute to his great entries. But now enjoy the pics: Thank you for looking! Quote
Brickington Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 Congrats on getting to round 5. You true presented two great builds!Your build is amazing. The eagle and the rock in the lava are great. What is the category for round 5? Quote

Deathleech Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 (edited) I'm really liking that lava, and especially the eagle! The arms as eyebrows and the beak are great and give's it a terrific expression. I also REALLY like the way you did it's feathers! This eagle looks better than the molded one from the Black Gates set and the Creator eagle combined! Kudos! Edited February 25, 2013 by Deathleech Quote
Faefrost Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 That rock and lava came out amazing. It wonderfully conveys that feeling of heat and motion. I stand in awe. Quote
CMP Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 I thought the build was pretty nice at first. Then the eagle came in. That is just awesome, good work on the wings. Quote
cortman Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 (edited) Terrific representation of the lava flow- it really looks like it's moving. The eagle is great too. CallMePie- hilarious avatar. Lol! :) Edited February 25, 2013 by cortman Quote
soccerkid6 Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 The angled plate technique works perfectly for achieving the flow of lava and the rockwork is great as well The eagle however takes the cake Quote
jimmynick Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 The lava looks good, but the eagle is great! The way you built its face using the upside-down cheese slope on the beak and minifig arms for its brow is inspired. Good luck in round 5 of MELO! Quote
BlueberryWaffles Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 I love this creation! It captures the scene perfectly. The only thing is you might want to get another Sam torso and put it on Frodo. Great job and good luck! "It's done, Mr. Frodo, it's done." Quote
Leo604 Posted February 26, 2013 Posted February 26, 2013 Dude...your eagle is amazing; nice job. :o Quote
Kayne Posted February 26, 2013 Posted February 26, 2013 Wow, that eagle is top notch! I love every part of it....in a purely platonic fashion Quote
TheAshTree Posted February 26, 2013 Posted February 26, 2013 Fantastic MOC. Very nice use of brown minfigure hands as eagle's eyes. Top notch. Quote
Brick Vader Posted February 26, 2013 Posted February 26, 2013 (edited) Truly an awesome Build. Especially I like the eagle. The Wings are amazing. Edited February 26, 2013 by Brick Vader Quote
LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted February 26, 2013 Posted February 26, 2013 Stunning MOC! I like the eagle and the amazing wings you have made! Top work! Quote

ProfessorChaos Posted February 27, 2013 Posted February 27, 2013 The claws are also very nicely done! Looks really great as the eagle is landing. Quote
