CCCVIII Mythical Battle - Dragon Raid

Post by Unitronus »

Hey guys, here is my entry for the CCCVIII Mythical Battle category.


This moc is part micro, part minifig size to create a forced perspective appearance where the
soldiers are racing towards the burning castle.

"A horde of dragons from the Northern Mountains are attacking the castle and village.

While the fortress is under siege, reinforcements arrive from the wild forest
in time to engage the vile beasts and to remove them from their land.

But they are unaware of an ambush. Will the Captain and his men succeed?"

Plus I couldn't enter this contest without adding a few dragons?

I love the angle of the first picture, the action seems to really come alive in that one.

Great job!

The forced perspective really makes it seem like the soldiers are racing to the castle, especially in that first picture. I really like the micro castle and dragons, too.

I love the forced perspective. The details in this are also cleverly done. Great work.

Haha wow. Hey Unitronus, I just realized you and I live in a fairly general vicinity. I am about 3 hours away from Lancaster in a small called Bedford. You may have heard of it. I rarely see someone from the same state as me and you being in Lancaster, a place where I frequent I just had to point that out.
