Three's a crowd (a CCCIV entry)

Post by JoshWedin »

Hey All,

Here is a little scene I built for the Misc. category. A young knight and a fair maiden have agreed to meet at a secluded lake deep in the forest. Unfortunately, they aren't the only ones there!

My main purpose, in making this, was to find a use for that baseplate. I think it worked pretty well. I'm still working on my creature skills though. :roll:

Comments welcome!

:lol: Hehe. I guess they got what was coming to them. That's really funny, Josh. Oh, and you creature is way better that I have ever made...

Thanks,

Wonderful! I just saw this on BS & thought, "women are so demanding - I bet that poor knight had to swim out to the middle of the pond to get that!" lol.

I think the only thing that could make it funnier is if there were a few more of those same flowers on the beastie's head to imply that it was roused when the knight tore them out of the poor thing's head ;)

Great little dioroma :)

Now that would have been good! Wish I'd thought of that...

Thanks! No, the baseplate isn't trans-clear, althought that seems to be what everyone is using lately. This baseplate is ancient. ;) It's this one. The last year it was used was 1980. Its been in my baseplate drawer forever and I finally thought of a use for it.

ohh! then that's even better! :)
I was actually wondering if you bought a lot of blue tiles :P
the only time I've ever seen this plate (well i was born after 1980 so never saw that) is on MLCAD :)
excellent use of parts :lol:

Very nice. As to the monster, one might even be tempted to say: jibbly. The eyes look pretty freaky, although that is good considering that it is a monster. :D

I'd go with jibbly.

To me, it looks like the monster is surprised to see people... who knows, maybe he was waiting there for a hot monster date?

Thats pretty sweet Josh, although you should have had his armor, helmet and sword laying on the ground... unless he ran from his home all the way to the lake naked. :lol:

That's a good idea. Officially, that is now why the monster was there. :)

Sorry, no post-carnage gallery. :) And if you look next to the girl on the shore, there is the knight's clothes.

Thanks!

Darn, I was hoping for some blood, guts, and a blood splattered woman... :lol: How could I have missed those clothes?
