LOL! Setting aside the great concept, I really like the brick-built scorpion. I'd love to see more pictures of it outside The Pit.

Very cool! I love the big scorpion.... could we get one picture of it (not for contest consideration) on a clear background, so as to better see its construction.

Awesome!
Will it be the high fall or the scorpion on steroids that spells his doom?

Are those Jun-chi arms as the scorpion's legs? Interesting construction.

I agree that the scorpian is well done - maybe the highlight of the MOC - still you have a lot of nice touches too. The skulls are good, and I like the construction at the top of the pit as well - the platform looks very Vladek-ish, (dark, gothicy, etc).
I'm sure that Danju falls to the scorpian but then outwits it and survives... right?

Sweet moc.
My "Scorpion Throne Room" moc would look great connected to this moc quite nicely.
I'm wondering did my moc have any influence on your design?
Or is it just a coincidence that they share almost similar architecture?
Great scorpion design, especially for being able to fit in the moc for that size.
The fall would probably kill the knight are at least cripple him.
Great work Sir Nelson.

Great MOC, as commented before, the scorpion looks awesome. I love seeing all the little MOC's that torture the rainbow knights. Great job!

Now that is cool, that was just missing in the KK2 theme: the evil pit of the evil Vladek..
Totaly agreed with that... It would look nice!My "Scorpion Throne Room" moc would look great connected to this moc quite nicely

I agree as well - at first I thought they were done by the same builder... Both MOCs are of great creativity and sound building... and both display the rainbow knights in a way we can all appreciate.Stone Goblin wrote:My "Scorpion Throne Room" moc would look great connected to this moc quite nicely.

Thanks for the feedback!
By popular demand, I have uploaded more pics of Vladek's pet, The Giant Scorpion.
The pincers use some technic pieces, and the legs are indeed the arms of the Jun Chi figure. Overall I am very pleased with the way it turned out.
I think I will be making many more Vladek MOCs. He is the best Lego villian since Ogel.
And, as for Sir Danju - somehow, he does find a way...
I had planned several of my contest entries to use the KK2 figs (including Vladek). Your throne room is mostly red and black, while mine is mostly light grey. BTW, your MOC entry is excellent!Stone Goblin wrote:I'm wondering did my moc have any influence on your design? Or is it just a coincidence that they share almost similar architecture?
