Medicine Man's Totem Pole: WW/Indian MOC

[SirNadroj]

Hello again! Here is my third and latest WW MOC. It is an indian themed one, too! It is a Totem Pole, some landscaping, and a Medicine Man. Totem Poles are sort of difficult because you really need to put as much detail as possible, but anything over 2 x 2 for a base would look unrealistic. This was the best I could do. Personally, I really like the bird on top. The beak came out pretty good. Who knew a banana would make a good beak!? ;-) Again, some landscape i.e, more cacti and some roots. The medicine man figure really isn't anything special, but I like his staff.

As always, feedback is appreciated, and here's the MOC page: http://mocpages.com/moc.php/37051

Thanks!

I just saw an episode of Star Trek Voyager where Commander Chakotay performed the Indian Pakra ritual (The ritual to remember the death of his father). And now I discover this indian MOC of yours.... what a coincidence :-D

Excellent work as always Sir Nadroy. I somehow expect that when I see another MOC-thread from you. I like that magic stick with the bird.

Creative use of a banana ;-)

I think this is great *y* My favorite aspect to it is how you rendered the eagle at the top. How did you attach the face component directly underneath the eagle?

im a fan of the bird myself. This is a great totem pole, wish we had had one like this in the official line.

This is a great little MOC Sir Nadroj!

The bird on top is definitely the crowning touch, but I also like the indian's staff.

Another successful MOC I say!

Batbrick Away! >:-)

Speaking of coincidence, I have the second one for this thread. Last night, while digging through a random parts assortment I picked up on eBay, I found that I had all the parts needed to build this:

That got me interested in similar structures, so I opened your thread. Look how sad the totem is in the official set compared to yours... :'-(

LEGO probably can't revisit this theme without complaints and it's a real shame.

Some great work there, I look forward to more! *y*
