Baba Yaga hut by Bernd Broich

Post by Bruce N H »

Hi all,

I have no idea how old this is, but I just found this MOC of Baba Yaga's hut by Bernd Broich. I believe this is the first MOC I've ever mentioned built for Belville figs!

Hello!


Hehe, Belville IS Castle.... There are Belville Castles... *cough*

Seriously, Bernd didn't plan from the beginning to build the hut Belville-scale but he started with the chicken legs and those lead to this scale.

In any case it's a fancy design from a somewhat underrepresented culture, that's the Russian one.

All I can say is that I felt scared when I saw it.

Its a very umm intersting design. And I can't think of much more to say than, why did he make a chicken house?

Heh, heh; the legs are really funky but...

The interior is really neat! Especially the bed.

It's a Russian fairy tale and it says the witch lives in a house that hops around on chicken legs.

This house was in Quest for Glory.
There was never a knight's quest.
Peasant's Quest is a spoof of King's Quest, on the other side of the feudal system. Any questions?

Huh, that's cool. Baba Yaga is a neat subject.

She's from the Slavanic folk tales. Not only did her house have chicken legs at each corner, but it was surrounded by a fence made of human bones. She travelled either in a flying iron kettle, or a rolling log which she propelled with a wooden pole.

I would love to see a minifig version of the house, and Baba Yaga herself.

A nice large-scale MOC. The thing that impressed me the most was the "log" over the doorway, it's implemented well. Thanks for sharing.

Baba Yaga also features in the computer game: Quest for Glory 1 as well as the hut with chicken legs
