ACPin Posted March 23, 2011 (edited) The Persians first attack came from a horde of undisciplined conscripts aimed at overwhelming the Spartans phalanx with their sheer numbers. As usual, click the pic for more details... AC Edited May 22, 2011 by Rufus Indexed! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Smack Posted March 23, 2011 (edited) Wow. I love the feel of this MOC. It really gives the sense of the intelligence of the Spartans and the sheer numbers of the Persians. I can almost see the Spartans feet dig into the ground as they hold their position and then push the Persians back. One of my favorite scenes from the movie 300. Although I am a huge fan of your Star Wars MOC's I am happy that you are doing these. I hope to see more scenes from the movie. Great work.

streifen Posted March 23, 2011 the cliffs at the sides look "lots of bricks"! can feel the "confrontational" factor looking at your MOC! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Gray Posted March 23, 2011 I really like the way you made it a phalanx, but pushing the spears in a slow, gradual upward way. I dunno why, but something about that pose caught my eye. Also, the sheer numbers of Spartans is enough to stare at for a while. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's exactly the atmosphere that I wanted to convey of this scene before the impact happens. Need a break from time to time and I always go back to castle themed MOCs. Maybe doing another scene. Wonderful! I love the size and details you have laid out. Every bit of detail counts in the end and the other pics show the various angles of the confrontation. the cliffs at the sides look "lots of bricks"! can feel the "confrontational" factor looking at your MOC! This is where Leonidas shouts "HOLD!". I really like the way you made it a phalanx, but pushing the spears in a slow, gradual upward way. I dunno why, but something about that pose caught my eye. Also, the sheer numbers of Spartans is enough to stare at for a while. Repositioning the Spartans a number of times was a bit painstaking to get the right mood. The front line was more direct and the succeeding lines were meant to converge in on the action. Props to you for spotting that! AC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ziljin Posted March 23, 2011 I really like the way you made it a phalanx, but pushing the spears in a slow, gradual upward way. I dunno why, but something about that pose caught my eye. Also, the sheer numbers of Spartans is enough to stare at for a while. That is how the phalanx is supposed to be I think. If everyone had their spears pointed forward, that might be a bit dangerous for the guys in the front in the event they get pushed back they would get skewered by their own allies! Very awesome moc btw. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
XimenaPaulina Posted March 24, 2011 Amazing rendition of 'the Hot Gates' AC! Great job on the realistic rock formations and this build really captures the movie scene perfectly well. Impressive work as always! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Scorpiox Posted March 24, 2011 The sheer number of spartans is amazing ( I only have one) and the persians look cool, i like the way you made their sheilds. The cliffs emphisise that it is a narrow pass and the spartans are holding the line. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
