Brickdoctor Posted March 15, 2011 Great job, TazManiac! I love the building with touches of the MMV, but it fits into the theme and all the little details you've added are terrific. The landscape, especially the rock work, Is nicely done as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
prateek Posted March 15, 2011 Awesome job TazManiac! I love the details on the building, and as BD said, the landscaping and rocks are top notch! The only thing bothering me is that Lego would never do SNOT work like that in a set! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vindicare Posted March 15, 2011 Nor would they make a brick built base like you have. The MOC is awesome though, job well done. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
XimenaPaulina Posted March 15, 2011 Very impressive entry TazManiac! Gotta love the elements packed in this build, from the modular building, to the two vehicles, and even the base and the surrounding rock formations are all well-executed. I'd agree that the said features are something that TLG don't normally do in regular sets, but I hope these types of entries would serve as 'inspiration' to them. Excellent job and best of luck in the contest! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheHiddenKing Posted March 15, 2011 This is an incredible job. I admire your creativity and your ability, using the bricks. There is much to learn, good luck in the contest. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tazmaniac Posted March 15, 2011 Cheers for the feedback guys. These are my first MOC cars and I'm very proud of them, "Matilda" in particular. I'll be sure to get a heap of pics on Flickr of it all once I've got a better camera. But with only 6 pics for the comp it'll be hard to show it all off.

Bonaparte Posted March 15, 2011 Very impressive entry! I'm also looking forward to see more pictures and all the details of this MOC. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CopMike Posted March 15, 2011 I´ll just agree with everybody else - great build, cool design and great use of colors . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gabe Posted March 15, 2011 This is looking really nice. I can't wait to see interiors of the house and detailed shots of the vehicles. I agree that LEGO prob wouldn't ever do such elaborate bases, but i certainly wouldn't throw up my hands in horror if they did! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tervlon Posted March 15, 2011 Love it! A great addition to my favorite genre. Lets see more! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scorpiox Posted March 15, 2011 Nice D2C set! It is cool how you intergrated MMV into it and the cars look cool. Any chance of close-ups of the cars and figs? The rock looks really nice, can't wait for more! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tazmaniac Posted March 15, 2011 (edited) some more pics here but still need a good camera so no more in the tread yet.... On the MMV I may have used alot of its elements but the design is mine. Edited March 16, 2011 by TazManiac Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dabulls03 Posted March 20, 2011 This is an excellent MOC with a lot of great techniques! The colors are outstanding and the vehicles are very detailed. but as other people have said before me, it doesn't really look like something TLG would make, and that's kinda the point of the contest... Maybe you should remove the brick built base and the rock wall. Nonetheless, probably the best Pharaoh's Quest MOC I've seen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tervlon Posted March 23, 2011 but as other people have said before me, it doesn't really look like something TLG would make, and that's kinda the point of the contest... Maybe you should remove the brick built base and the rock wall. The rules don't mention this, I don't know why people are talking about it. That may be the intention, but its not in the rules. I love this creation and I'm glad he made it look polished. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
