GondorSoldier
Saving The Princess
Hello all!
This is a piece that I recently built for the contest, "Replicate your heroic minifigures in battle!" over on Lego Ideas.
I had two main goals as I built this. First, I wanted it to look cartoony, like a scene that I would have played out as a child. Hence the two knights being launched out of a catapult. And the one hiding in the bush. And second, I wanted to build it in two main sections, or islands, but I wanted to make it clear that the islands were just smaller portions of the actual landscape. In other words, the islands only exist in the MOC, not in the world that it models. I tried to use subtle hints to give the MOC this feel, such as the fact that the water only extends to the grey portion of the island's base, or the simple fact that there is a road on each island.
Ultimately, I am pleased with the result. I think it accomplishes both of my goals fairly well.
Thank you all!
Happy Building and God Bless!
