Frostbite

[Angeli]

Hi guys ;)

Frostbyte is big Ice Chima diorama which is currently under total reconstruction (pimp up my Chima:)

So, first we are going to talk about the old one, then, the new one ;)

This mammoth diorama is my part of a project, officially first in the world, made as collaboration of two builders from two rlugs from different countries - Tony Tocaci from Brickenburg Asociatia, Transylvania, Romania and me, from Beokocka, Serbia

The idea was made one great night in a pub, with a lot of beer :) "next year, let's make something together - my ice Chima fighting Tony's Blacktron guys"

You can see results in the pictures below ;)

First things first: the whole diorama was transported by tri guys and a girl 600 km from Belgrade, Serbia to Cluj-Napoca, Romania, in two cars :) And set up for 8 hours :)

Here are few pictures of setting up:

--

The first thing was Chima tank, made out of two Star Wars superstar destroyers sets :) We got them as part of our support, but the guys that were in charge of SW disregarded them, and they were languishing in some dark corner for a whole year, broken. So I confiscated them and Chimalized the - there is a saying in our club - you got something as a support and don't show it on exhibits? Be careful, or Angeli will chimalize it! But the end result was satisfied, so everyone was happy :)

There are two chimalizes exo-suites working with big guns on the tank, and the tank, beside engines has two dozens of Vargas puling it :)

We continued to set up around it, While Tony was putting his own Blacktrone base

Round Chima Slime towers were particularly hard to transport - they are VERY sturdy, but if broken, hard to rebuild

I must brag that one of those towers was part of the window dressing for one year permanent of Lego Certified shop :)

With them, Chima Slime fraction was getting finished:

So, we are trying to align everything, and of course, I've made few mistakes, and roof of one building is taking the space of the walls of another :) It is hard to build such a big diorama when it is bigger then any floor of any room in your house :) A lot of planning must be done "in head", and is something gets forgotten - you have to rebuild on exhibit. I could use 12 minions at this point :)

So, we are putting mammoth factory and airport, and again, factory and fortress collide. But it can't be fixed, so - we just apart baseplates for that one stud I've got more, and pretend nothing happened :D

So, after few hours, it is time for beer break :)

And then, return to work :) And blacktron bad guys (look how black and dark they are, must be bad:) have used our beer break to invade us :)

There are a lot of Chimalized sets, like this Delorean, and guys from my club really hate them :)

At some point moc expert Mihai Marius Mihu landed a hand also, so, three lugs made a print on the moc :)

We had a rule - while setting up, what you touch and break you have to fix. Girls loved this rule, and most of the buildings were "fixed" as my initial design was not satisfying enough :)

With ice trees, we finished our setting up :) Very hard working eight hours, but very satisfying :) My favorite parts were flowers :)

As a special tribute, I've met with one great builder totally by chance, mentioned Mihai Marius Mihu, and we decided to make something together - and thus is how the Faerie dragon was created (infamously known as Draconic Chicken:)

----------------------

Now, about the moc:

Frostbyte is on 8x6 48x48 baseplates, it consists of three big units: Ice Chima, Santa's village and Chima Slime swamp

Santa's Village:

Santa's village is under siege!

But no worries, the village is full of tough Santa's helpers :) Even Santa himself is one tough guy:

Ice Chima

Ice castle:

Hallo Fred - Halo George!

This MOC is an insanely awesome collab! I can't wait to see the rebuild!

[Exetrius]

Absolutely mind-boggling builds!!! :thumbup: I think I like the tank the most, but well... what does that mean among so many totally awesome individual builds!

[Lordofdragonss]

Shame you haven't made more bigger animal vechicles - but landscaping is amazing!

[Peppermint_M]

Someone loves Chima!

That is a fantastic collab build. It must have got a great response from the crowd, and most importantly been a lot of fun!

[Angeli]

yup, a lot of response from the crowd - the Tony's part of the build, big Blacktrone base, I haven;t displayed, as it is his half - here is one preview:

WOAH! I am speechless you guys are incredibly talented. The endurance needed alone to build this! Well done, well done indeed!
