Peruvian "River of Blood" Adventure

Post by SirNadroj »

Hey! :D

Here's a contest entry for a MOC Triathilon at Eurobricks:

"Join our team of explorers as the drift down Peru's most famous river, the "River of Blood", named because of the odd, red coloured water, blamed on the hundreds of years of sacrifices performed there.

Startled, the adventurers relize they're about to go right over the falls, and disrupt a sacrifice!

But the angry tribesmen are the least of their problems. Watch out for the llama!"

That looks pretty cool! It may be the first Lego llama I've seen. One slight critique though. I used to own a llama and their "spit" is actually green. I can get more specific, if you want, but its gross. If you have some of those green flame pieces, they would work perfectly...

I really like the hair on your tribesmen as well. I had one of those "Now why didn't I think of that" moments. :)

PS. Oh, when llamas spit, their ears are flat back too.

Very lovely!
What I keep wondering about is why did lego give the natives such dark hands? It is like they are wearing gloves.

Haha! I Love the large llama. And good job on the hair too. It looks nice.

Josh, you owned a llama? :shock:
May the blessing of the Lord be upon you. <><
