D2C Contest: Serpent Ruins

Recommended Posts

Deep in the jungles there is a secret guild of assassins. There is no place more deadly than the forbidden Serpent Ruins. In the center of the sacred temple grows a legendary flower guarded by Venom Spawns, man-eating tree frogs, and killer hornets. One must avoid alligator infested swamps, mantises, and of course the rumored Serpent of Death known for being able to crush the life from a dragon.

Here is a close up of the deadly Venom Spawns. Slow growing, their age is a mystery. It is said they start out small like a mobile venus fly trap. Continually increasing in size from year to year, the most ancient of Spawns settle down and take root.

These are the two main houses of ninja assassins battling in a jungle duel. Red ninjas seek to triumph in their invasion of the serpent ruins. Danger lurks behind every corner and massive snakes loom above.

Man-eating Tree Frog

One of the cutest deadly critters in the Serpent Ruins.

Dragons sometimes lay their eggs in the ruins. These little guys have a survival adventure ahead of them!

Killer Hornets

These things are simply terrifying. Fortunately they don’t travel in swarms but one sting can drop a man… forever.

Ninjas roam the deepest jungles and wade through the most deadly swamps. Be wise when searching for this ruin and challenging the green ninjas. consider yourself warned. :)

Jaw-droppingly awesome entry Siercon! Every bit of detail of this wonderful build is a beauty to behold - the temple ruins, the exotic-looking plant life, and the trans-green base really makes for an effective swamp water. Truly a very impressive job! :thumbup:

Absolutely stunning! All the creatures and plants are amazing, and you've used some parts in ways I'd never have thought of. It's a bit extravagant for a set I think, but it's still a fantastic MOC. Well done and good luck!

It's fantastic.

I'm not sure about the playability (lack of figs), but it looks beautiful.

I count four. :tongue:

This moc is fantastic! I really adore all the details, the man-eating frog. The dragons, and best of all the plants.

Fabelhaft swamp setting, reminds me of the forrest/swamp levels in Devil May Cry 4. :wub:

Excellent job on this one, had a fun time looking at all the details, best of luck in the contest hope you go far! :sweet:

Also fantastic technique using Rakshi shells(?) for the snake's coiled body.

Very original! I don't know whether this is a "direct to consumer set" (it's perhaps a bit too exotic for that), but it sure is one hell of a MOC! Good luck!

Once again your attention to the details of organic objects is astounding! The snake wrapped around the towers is especially nice. My only concern is that this looks more like a display piece, not a D2C set, and it's not from a theme where playability is nonexistent.

To all of the above, first thanks for the comments! And in response to the iffyness of its D2C qualities, I couldn't agree more. If Lego were ever to create this, so much would have to change. But the contest was an excuse to build :)

So yes, not strong in the playability/D2C category. But I would hope more Jungle/Swamp type ninja sets were made with an emphasis on a multitude of fantasy creatures (kind of like how they did Atlantis)

Thanks guys

One of the things i love about yr MOCs is how effortlessly you create sinuous, organic-looking forms, and this one runs true to type. Your brick built flora and fauna are nothing short of jaw-dropping. :classic: Fantastic work, and best of luck in the comp!
