Info on CCC3 Entry: Vladek's Revenge
Here is some information on my CCC3 "Siege Scene" entry, Vladek's Revenge...
Backstory: The evil Lord Vladek gains weapon-innovation technology from the Bull Knights, and commissions the Wolfpack engineers to build him a new siege engine called "The Warthog". All parties are amazed by the ferocity of the engine's firepower, but the Wolfpack, disgusted with Vladek's audicity, secretly renames the war machine "Le Rat". It is of no consequence however, as Vladek soon uses his new weapon to lay waste upon the KK2 knight's fortress, Castle Arc-en-Ciel.
_________
Here are some detailed images of The Destructible Wall of Castle Arc-en-Ciel (Rainbow Castle).
The wall is designed like a jigsaw puzzle, using tiles and a few studs to hold it together. Some plates of various colors on the rear serve to help to make reassembly easier.
Also, here are some detailed images of "The Warthog" Siege Engine:
The two rear cannons are combined to fire simultaneously by pushing down on the planks.
This was a very fun build, and I hope that the idea of a destructible wall can be also be used somehow for gaming, as well as for basic play. Enjoy!

Excellent idea of a breakable wall. Makes that moc very playable and probably fun.
Lego should do something like that.
A weird design, yet cool and interesting idea for the 3-shooter siege machine.
I like the horns on the front, very evil looking.
You sure did a lot of "yocs"(your own creations) that are cool. Good luck in the contest.

I love the cartoony look to it. Don't get me wrong, I hate it when some creations (especially official sets) look like cartoons, but you've pulled it off well; it reminds me somewhat of some of the things Nintendo has done.
The model itself is interesting, and it looks just the right size for the rainbow knights. I will definitely do something like this the next time I play brikwars!

I really like that wall styling, and hope you don't mind if I try that in some of my future MOCs. There's so much competition in the Seige Scene category that I'm almost glad I didn't fininsh in time!
Keep up the great work!

That destructible wall is awesome.
I agree with eNiGMa, it looks very Super Mario-ish, which is very cool.
The scene itself looks kind of funny, but really exemplifies our problem with the Rainbow Knights: that they have no common soldiers. The top of the wall would ordinairily be packed with archers, and your use of only the four knights is a great protest. The big empty space kinda says the same thing.
Your seige engine looks just as silly (that's a good thing) as the Bulls' machines, but better constructed. You did a great job making it look LEGO-esque.

The wall is amazing!! Realy good idea! Looks a bit Warhammer like. The siege engine is good (when you like the "bionicle looking" "canons", which I don`t).
I find this:

So many MOCs since i've been away for the holidays. That wall really caught my eye. Even if that wall wasn't breakable...very unique look, I haven't seen a wall like it before.
I don't care to much for the side towers, but the focus really is on the wall. Impressed again Sir Nelson. Keep it up.

Why is it that Sir Nelson always comes up with genius ideas?
I enjoyed looking at this MOC, as I do all the rest of yours.
