The Tower of Vyk-Maugh

Post by LORD DOOM »

The pesky RIONO-HOEK and his dastardly cohort attempt to steal two chests full of LORD DOOM's loot. They almost got away with it too untill a guard watching after one of DOOM's Dragon Knights horses spots them making a quick escape via boat! LORD DOOM CALLS HIS GUARD TO ORDER, and the tower of Vyk-Maugh rumbles with activity.

This took me two evenings I set aside specially for LEGO© :)

Here's the gallery. (When Public)

Nicely done, well worth the two evenings you set aside! I like how you used the KKII elements to make the base of the bridge.

Great overall shape. It has a real playest kind of feel with heaps of great details. I love the minifig action & some of the minifig POV shots taken in the gallery. These shots really increase the feel of an MOC for me. My only real critisism is the landscaping, I can see it's suffering from lack-of-pieces-itis

Yeah you're right. :?

I just dropped nearly half of my entire paycheck on SAH. I hope some of my new goodies arrive soon!

This is cool. I like the doomed....I mean domed structure, the bridge and the use of the rocket pieces at the top of the spires. It seems like a fun little play set.

Thanks you guys. I kinda had "Playset" in mind as I was designing it. I know it's really fairly small and utilizes some KK2 elements that people don't really seem to respond to very well, never the less I was pleased with the end result as far as the towers architecture and that's why I posted it. I actually build a lot of MOC's that I never post simply because I'm not satisfied enough with them. This one however made the cut. Just barely. Plus I love me my Dragon Knights.

Very nice, the gazebo-type thing is my favorite part. :D The landscaping looks very nice as well. And yay for my first post!

This is a nicely constructed MOC. I like the little gazeebo thing. It looks very clean. Nice job!

The landscaping is I think pretty good, but as Darkspawn said, it could have even used more. You should go to the lego store and get a bunch of plants. They are really cheep. Just fill a bucket with one of them.
