Battle in the Treetops

Post by Azaghal »

The Forestmen were used to having the top of the woods to themselves . . . until the day the Black Knights unveiled their new battle machine!

Nice work. I like how you incorporated a "face" into the "airship" that gives it a very classic Black Knights feel. I think your MOC might be more interesting, however, if you built the rest of the trees down to the ground floor instead of leaving us with just the canopy tops.

i like how the "ground" was foliage as opposed to having actual trees. ps why is there a clown in the airship?
He who thinks you should look at the box that says "Quaraga" if you want to find out his username (about as useful to you as his real name). he only wants you to look so he can laugh about you looking there because he's a total smart...

There's a clown in the airship because, well, they're not going to have a fighter spinning the prop by hand, are they? :raiseone:

There's new pictures of the ship up - thanks for the comments, everybody!

They have to spin it by HAND??? Awww... i had hoped the black falcons had better technology. :D

The balloon is well made, and i especially like the brick-built figurehead

Keep it up! :lol:

And so he slipped into the forest, vanishing without a trace, leaving his pursuers lost without ideas, while he went to finish his MOC's.

Here's where they are:

Interesting idea. A small band of adventuring Black Knights desides to invade the Forest Kingdom to see what goodies they can find. Does the ship have a name? I could see this as one of many adventures of the ship and its crew. Perhaps a comic strip in the near future?
