Dispatching wierdos-a VIG

Post by wunztwice »

Here is another VIG I made now that I'm done with finals!!! The catapult is a slightly modified version of lordofthelego's, and I've been wanting to incoporate it into something. One day I was sick of homework and looked over to see I had set a stormtrooper next to the catapult, *lightbulb*!

The idea is that this is a catapult crew who take care of dispatching all the strange folk who wander into the kingdom. Who knows how they got there?

EDIT: since brickshelf is taking a long time in moding this folder I will include deeplinks

-admins, this folder seemed like the best-fit, if it needs to be moved go ahead!-

Thanks everyone!

Cute idea, I got a chuckle out of that, though I think if those soldiers are smart they'll keep the chef :) Also a good job on your catapult copy and modification.

Nice! How's about replacing the Storm Trooper with say.... a Space Police, or a Blacktron, or a Futuron? :D

Just to annoy the Spacers. :lol:

Hahahee! Thats great, though I agree with Sheen, they should keep the chef. I like how you used your own custom faction for the dispatchers. Not really a vig, is it? More like a super-super vig. I like your version of the catapult as well. Here's an idea for you to incorporate it into something else. You could make it look kind of rotted, and covered with vines, and put it next to that wall that's falling apart. Without the tree, and with the rubble on the other side, plus a bit more, it would look like the catapult attacked the wall.

Try Jar Jar Bink instead.

Ya, love the catapult

I like your version of the catapult. Thanks for the nod, by the way. The teeth on the front is really cool-looking. The pose of the Stormtrooper is funny, too! :twisted:

I guess this catapult will become the standard. It's a great catapult design. Must try building one with some minor modifications. :twisted:

I'm glad you approve Nathan! Thanks for all the comments.

I am sorry for the blurry pics, my borrowed camera was acting up.

Careful, Star Wars is one of the more well done line in Lego. Remeber, we're only against new colored bricks and any dumb faction that has the nerve to come along *cough* KK2 *cough*, but nevertheless your vig is quite amusing.

Muwahahahahaha down with Harry Potter!

Custom faction? Those are Fright Knights.

No, they're his custom faction made with Fright Knight fleur-des-lis torsos and Gryffindor shields. Here is another pic of them.

I love it! I think that they should keed the chef too though. I think it is cool how you incorperated all of those guys into a castle MOC.
Thanks for listening, Thomas
