soccerkid6 Posted November 1, 2012 (edited) Here's my entry to Challenge V "The Mystic Sanctum". Throne room inspired by Sirens-of-Titan, chipped pillars inspired by DARKspawn. Daydelon was desolated by the elemental attacks so Sir Glorfindel took Fergus to see an old dwarf to lead the survivors to the ancient dwarven city of Emraldon. Now they have established camp there and are living in uneasy quiet. The men hunt and fish or gather wood while the women and children pick berries or cook, soldiers keep a sharp lookout for any Corrupt Hand forces. The refugees have not ventured far into the tunnels staying mainly in the large cavern and awe-inspiring courtyard and throne room. The latter is strangely untouched by age.

CMP Posted November 1, 2012 Love it. You really nailed the challenge description, re-using an ancient structure as a camp. Half looks like a ramshackle command center, half looks like a hand-carved city. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PenPlays Posted November 2, 2012 WOW! Your WIP was nothing compared to the final product. That green and red floor is mesmerizing! The fact that all the components snap together is fantastic! Excellent job SK. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The fact that all the components snap together is fantastic! Excellent job SK. Thanks, I wanted the floor to be tiled and those were the only colors I had enough in, I learned after the third challenge to make stuff come apart so you can get decent pics Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain BeerBeard Posted November 2, 2012 Damn. Now I know I'm not winning. This is just awesome. I can tell you put a lot into this. :thumbup: :thumbup: Great work! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZCerberus Posted November 2, 2012 Great work man. The bottom level feels a bit sparse outside the main building but there are a lot of great deal of little details that are just excellent. You're best work by far. A++ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Niku Posted November 2, 2012 Damn. Now I know I'm not winning. This is just awesome. I can tell you put a lot into this. :thumbup: :thumbup: Great work! plus 1.I suscribe all previous comments too. Great work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Abu Dun Posted November 2, 2012 (edited) A truly impressive work that certainly raised the bar for all entries by quite a bit. The detailing of the underground temple is just amazing and the second level feels very much alive. Are those white huts supposed to be built out of snow/ice? If so, how did they get that much if the forest above is so green? The single most unique feature, though, would probably be the working lift that connects the top level with the underground Once again, great job on this and best of luck in the competition Edited November 2, 2012 by Abu Dun Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kabel Posted November 2, 2012 Great Soccerkid, this has truely become an awesome piece of LEGO art. When I first saw your wip pics I didn't really know as to where you would take this, but the final result is absolutely convincing. I love it! So once again I will not score a single point in the competition ... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Andy D Posted November 2, 2012 (edited) Very, very (I can't put in enough very's) impressive! All the little and BIG details. The interiors are amazing. And since I am currently studying LEGO trees, your pine trees made from palm tree leaves and branches just blew me away. How did you do that? Edit: After more study, I think I figured it out. Did you use bars bteween the rounds to attach the leaves? Great, great, great! Andy D Edited November 2, 2012 by Andy D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The trees are quite simple, the trunk is made of barrels with 2x2 round plates on top so the plates can rotate. Each layer of branches has four leaves going in opposite directions with others hooked up to the bottom of leaves as necessary. I can take some pics if this doesn't make sense Fantastic MOC :thumbup: I really like it Thank you Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
