[Public BRICKstory] LEGO 5938 Oasis Ambush (Redux)

Next installment of hellboy.bricks and my Adventurers Redux collaboration is one of my favourite sets of all time - the Oasis Ambush!

 

Though I sadly never got this set, I always loved it's design, conception and much playfeatures, given the small size. Especially the black chest as body for the Anubis/Jackle Sphinx is a perfect use of a part!

I wanted to integrate this essential feature of this set, although my starting point was the head, or more precisely the ears. The interior of the tomb, with chains and wooden construction, should reflect the complicated safety measures of ancient Egyptian pharaonic tombs, like the pyramids. It is half-functional. You can open it by pulling the chains, but have to close it manually...

Because of the overall scaled up dimension, I decided to go with two palm trees instead of one. I am really happy with the outcome of them, especially the bigger one, where I took a different approach on the trunk. 🌴

I also fearured a rare Duplo part in the palm isle, I am sure you can easily spot it 😉

 

I hope you enjoyed this remaster as much as I enjoyed building it!
