First Order Lego
Golden Clifftop Pagoda “Waiting On The Bridge”
SCENE: On top off the mountains, above the clouds, sits the Golden Pagoda. Legend says an old ronin lives there, some try to seek him out....
Having finished the stunning game Ghost of Tsushima earlier this year, I immediately knew I had to build a cool Japanese/Asia inspired styled Samurai MOC. The Asia category in the Summer Joust sold me on the idea and forced to me finish it by August. I am also a huge fan of Japanese Ukio-e art, which inspired me a lot. This is not any specific scene from a game or art piece, just a cool idea in my mind that I wanted to realise.
I think I managed to fulfill my initial idea of how it should have looked like. The larger island was built in less than 4 days, while the small one took 4 weeks :D I’m happy with the rockwork, managed to include some cool new pieces, as with the green vegetation, while the large tree I could have done better. I finally got to use some new techniques and pieces in the MOC, like the legs as poles of the “torii” gates, the catapult pieces as stairs, the Thor hammers as parts of the roof and a few other.
