Bob De Quatre Posted November 11, 2016 After defeating the Lion of Nemea, Hercules was asked to kill the monster that terrorized the countryside around the city of Lerna. The Hydra was a terrifying creature with the body of a dragon and many heads spitting poisonous venom. For each severed head, two would grow back in its place. Hercules lured the Hydra of its den by shooting flaming arrows at it and led it to the old Poseidon's shrine near the swamp where lived the creature. Hidden by a cliff, Iolaos stood ready to cauterize the necks of the Hydra each time Hercules would cut of one of its heads. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Littleworlds Posted November 11, 2016 This looks very good. Amazing ground detailing.Together with the pillars it really creates a feel of a scene happening long-time ago in the Mediterranean. Makes me really want to go there for a holiday. On a beach without hydra though. Its is pretty cool though. Appropriately menacing! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZlatanXVIGustaf Posted November 12, 2016 Very good build! I like the tiles on the side, it looks much better than having a plain grey wall. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Architect Posted November 13, 2016 Lovely. The Herucles builds are great! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Staslegomaster Posted November 13, 2016 Shall we see other adventures of Hercules? The island is created very nicely. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Staslegomaster Posted November 13, 2016 You created a cool dragon of great myth. It would be nice for fans with rich imagination to play with your creation. to my mind they are a kind of dinosaurs which lived as long as the Dark Ages. But then they disappeared because all kinds of knights, heroes etc. hunted them for the sake of the King, the Dame, the Honour and so on. Ninjago and Creator dragons helped designers to understand that the best dragons are made of bricks. What do you think about that? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blackdeathgr Posted November 13, 2016 Nice one! I like all the effort put on retaining that classical feeling not only at the MOC but at photo editing as well! Also Hercules lion pelt looks good on him! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Slegengr Posted November 14, 2016 So this is what was coming... Nice build, Bob! The landscaping and architecture are great! The stone path and white structure with the sand green roof are particularly good! I like your MOC border and photography border, as blackdeathgr mentioned. The hydra is very interesting.

Ecclesiastes Posted November 14, 2016 Great work Bob, I especially like the "shooter thingies" you've used in the floor pattern that works out amazingly! And good seeing you wandering outside space Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was lucky to have Qi Gon's poncho laying around, it makes a great Lion of Nemea's pelt On 14/11/2016 at 3:59 PM, Slegengr said: So this is what was coming... Nice build, Bob!

Tyndale Posted November 16, 2016 Hercules is probably my favorite myths, and sir I can say you really captured the labor of the hydra. I like how you used pieces to make the hydra multi headed. The side of the MOC also has a cool design (some sort of waves?) Nevertheless, you are a great builder! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bob De Quatre Posted November 29, 2016 Finally found some time to take pictures of the Hydra alone... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AmperZand Posted December 5, 2016 Cool MOC! I especially like how each of the hydra's heads is different. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
