Simon_S Posted July 30, 2014 You know, Mitgardians might have wolves, bulls or chobos to ride on, Kaliphlinites have their armadillos, Nocturnus their worms and snakes, but we in Avalonia have our... Big Battle Bambi The Big Battle Bambi is related to the usual deer, and is only found rarely in the avalonian forests. The difference: it's way larger than the other ones. Simon of Nalderic, the bravest of all Avalonians (which is again the bravest folk in historica, so he basically is also the bravest man of all people in historica) managed to capture and train one. Now he rides on it and with its help he will seize the lordship over the whole world! I hope you like it and thanks for looking . Simon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

-Horizon- Posted July 30, 2014 (edited) That's so pretty Simon, but it doesn't look like an animal you would see on the front lines. Edited out. Edited July 30, 2014 by lego3364 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Scaevola Posted July 30, 2014 Great entry Simon, I like the way you did the antlers, and it is instantly recognizable from the brick build Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MKJoshA Posted July 30, 2014 Good job building those legs, they look just right for a deer. And great job on that base! Though, your ambitions seem a little lofty. Conquering the entire world? Talk like that will get stabbed by a drow! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yzalirk Posted July 30, 2014 That deer looks really good! That's so pretty Simon, but it doesn't look like an animal you would see on the front lines. It would make for excellent venison! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mccoyed Posted July 30, 2014 Love the eyes and the baldric. Great work here, Simon. Would love to see a wing of these guys in similar fitting riding out of a misty wood. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lord Vladivus Posted July 30, 2014 Awesome stuff Simon! Love the base especially, actually! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MassEditor Posted July 30, 2014 Nice little build, very cool design and nicely detailed! Can Simon also hook up a sleigh and delivery toys during the winter to all the good little kids in Historica? That's so pretty Simon, but it doesn't look like an animal you would see on the front lines. Man, have you never seen a deer attack a person, like in a video or something? Frightening.

HawkLord Posted July 30, 2014 I don't get to this section of the boards often, but builds like that will make me a fan pretty quick! Well done, that looks fantastic! I especially like the horns, legs, and scenic base. Very well put together scene. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Great entry Simon, I like the way you did the antlers, and it is instantly recognizable from the brick build Thank you Scaevola. I also like the look of them, but I don't like how fraglie they are . Good job building those legs, they look just right for a deer. And great job on that base! Though, your ambitions seem a little lofty. Conquering the entire world? Talk like that will get stabbed by a drow! Thank you, the legs were the most difficult part, so I'm happy you like them. You really think it's "a little lofty"? I mean, it's still Simon of Nalderic, the bravest warrior in Historica . That deer looks really good! It would make for excellent venison! Thank you. Love the eyes and the baldric.

Frightening. Thanks ME. Also, thanks for the idea . Great brick-built creature, Simon, and excellent work with the landscaping too Congrats on getting it front-paged Thank you. I think it's actually my first build that made it to there. Yeehaw! Can't say I have. Edit: Never mind, I looked it up. Yeah Congrats! Haha, I also haven't seen it before. Thats funny and awesome at once Can you also make a wolf? Thanks. Of course I could, but wolves are too stereotypic for mounts and they fit better in Mitgardia than Avalonia...

Gabe Posted July 31, 2014 Sweet build Simon, the horns and shape of the head are spot on! The posing is great too, although i feel like the stick legs are a touch spindley. (But legs are haaard, so i totes get it as a solution ) Congrats on being frontpaged! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jason Cicchini Posted July 31, 2014 Love it, Simon! The horns are great, and the saddle and helm make it look like an official mount, as opposed to some random wrangled animal. How stable are the leg connections? I'd probably want to rip my hair out placing them in perfect position with my big, fat fingers! Congrats on the front page spot!

I also didn't know how to do them, so I looked at real deers and this was the solution which fitted the proportions still the best. Thanks . Love it, Simon!

The legs aren't really stable, but they're still better than the antlers. Photographing the MOC wasn't a problem because of stabilty, but I wouldn't want to take it to a convention.
