Captain BeerBeard Posted March 13, 2012 This is just a little sample of an upcoming moc where I get crazy with mushrooms. It's not my best photo quality but it'll do for now. I hope you all enjoy my mushroom's. C&c welcome Zakon Goldblade has sent his head mage to find him some magical mushrooms. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kabel Posted March 13, 2012 uh wow, this is creepy and somehow totally 70s! I like it though, nice colors, nice mushrooms!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kerntechniker Posted March 13, 2012 Hello CB, this is a nice looking MOC. Why are the mushroom so big? Is there something unnatural in the earth or is it magic? Is this mage collecting some ingredients for an elixir, giving more power to the forces of Avalonia? One last remark, why is the frame of this scene in purple? Keep mocing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
de Gothia Posted March 13, 2012 That´s some big mushroom! They sure look great! The biggest one in two colours is very nice! Where is the little bugs from? Friends sets? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain BeerBeard Posted March 13, 2012 uh wow, this is creepy and somehow totally 70s! I like it though, nice colors, nice mushrooms!! 70's? I don't think Historica has got there yet! I'm happy that you like it. Hello CB, this is a nice looking MOC. Why are the mushroom so big? Is there something unnatural in the earth or is it magic? Is this mage collecting some ingredients for an elixir, giving more power to the forces of Avalonia? One last remark, why is the frame of this scene in purple? Keep mocing The mushrooms are big because it's fantasy. The mage is collecting so his master can go on a spiritual journey. The frame is purple because I didn't have enough pink. Joking aside, I just wanted to get some use out the lame Friends parts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jason Cicchini Posted March 13, 2012 Stay away from the brown...'shrooms? XD Another hare-brained idea from BeerBeard, which I love! Your creations always have a sense of quirk and character that make them undeniably yours. Please don't leave Avalonia! We are as mighty as we are because of having builders like you in our ranks. Remember, Anytria and Darwynia are not too far from each other... The Log Baron could always use more allies in keeping the seedy side businesses of Avalonia alive!

MikeyB Posted March 13, 2012 Great use of the radar dish as mushrooms. If we have magic then why not giant mushrooms. I haven't picked up any friends sets but the butterfly alone makes me want to get one. the scene is just begging for a frog though dont you think? ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hyler Talliwell Posted March 13, 2012 Haha, cool! Mushrooms always add a bit of whimsical silliness. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZCerberus Posted March 13, 2012 Beerbeard is mushroom lord. First mushroom shields, now giant 'shrooms. I think we need a mushroom house! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CptMugwash Posted March 13, 2012 Fantastic, I always wondered what to use those radar dishes for, now I know, aslong as it's alright. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jareth Posted March 13, 2012 Very Nice, I really like the use of Spheres as immature Mushrooms. I've also used these parts for mushrooms, Construction Helmet & Army Helmet http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=3833 http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=87998 Also, I saw this set yesterday http://shop.lego.com/en-US/Creative-Cakes-6785 It has some interesting possibilities, including some Huge Mushrooms.

Niku Posted March 13, 2012 Wow those mushrooms are really big, I love when Mocs vary a lot and we get surprises as this one. Is it going to be a part of a story you are developing? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ecclesiastes Posted March 13, 2012 Great moc! Looks like a sneak peak of The Mystic Isles. And finally a good use for those large parts, so great idea! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fred Daniel Yam Posted March 13, 2012 I like this a lot, the huge mushrooms are quite nice and humorous. Can't wait to see where this is going. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Doornroosje Posted March 13, 2012 Nice little MOC. I like the 'fairytale'feelings ! (just gotta get me some friens butterlies too... ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brickmaestro Posted March 13, 2012 Very clever use of the dishes. It's got a great Alice and Wonderland feel to it. Now you just need a big brick-built caterpillar sitting on the big mushroom asking "Whooooooo are youuuuuu?" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain BeerBeard Posted March 13, 2012 That´s some big mushroom! They sure look great! The biggest one in two colours is very nice! Where is the little bugs from? Friends sets? Thank you.

Nice little MOC. I like the 'fairytale'feelings ! (just gotta get me some friens butterlies too... ) Thanks you. I love fairytales and Disney movie's! Olivia's tree house is the Friends set to get.

Athos Posted March 13, 2012 Also, I saw this set yesterday http://shop.lego.com/en-US/Creative-Cakes-6785 I'd like to see how those frosting globs look as mushrooms... or even better onion domes. Steve Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain BeerBeard Posted March 13, 2012 I'd like to see how those frosting globs look as mushrooms... or even better onion domes. Steve Does anyone know if Duplo fit's with regular LEGO? Those muffin tops would make some great caps! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Si-MOCs Posted March 14, 2012 HAHA that's awesome. Bold yet great choice with the friends border. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jakon Posted March 14, 2012 The shrooms are very well done, I just hate mushrooms, so, not much to say :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NiceMarmot Posted March 14, 2012 Does anyone know if Duplo fit's with regular LEGO? Those muffin tops would make some great caps! Yes, in general, they do. Duplos are 2x the size of LEGO, so a 2x4 Duplo is a 4x8 LEGO. Not all of them fit together, for instance Duplo bricks will fit on LEGO plates, but not vice versa. Great MOC btw. I can see that I'm going to have to go buy some large brown radar dishes now... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jareth Posted March 14, 2012 Here is the best image I have of army helmet Mushrooms And here is a link to the gallery of Mr. Cinder's Mushroom Farm. http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=496431 Oh, Captain Beer Beard asked if Duplos work with system Lego bricks. Yes they do, but It's best to stick with 2x2 and 2x4 brick connections, especially when the duplos are on the bottom. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Derfel Cadarn Posted March 14, 2012 Ahh mushrooms, Happy days these look really great and stand out well. It's always good to see people coming up with new plant additions. You know I'm expecting a good fun scene with these from you now! I'm sure somewhere in Avalonia there is a guy growing and selling these...for medicinal purposes of course Avalonia will be riding into battle totally wasted now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
