jp-30 Posted July 2, 2007 Posted July 2, 2007 I bought the new Castle set just for the skeleton horse as I've had this scene in mind for a while, only to find it was a single molded piece. I thought at the least the legs would be poseable (and was hoping the head was articulated). So, begrudgingly I beheaded my horse. And I wonder if I can somehow use 2 of those legs for a Grievous Minifig MOC. Anyway, here's my little Jundland Wastes scene based on a couple of seconds of screentime in A New Hope when R2 & 3PO have separated ways on Tatooine and C3PO wanders past a Krayt Dragon skeleton. ( click thumbs for full size) Reference still from the movie Quote
PSPguy Posted July 2, 2007 Posted July 2, 2007 That is really good but it needs more spine/viking horns. *sweet* Ep. 4 ON! Quote
aayla-secura Posted July 2, 2007 Posted July 2, 2007 Exactly ! ;-) really good but more horns ! Quote
jp-30 Posted July 2, 2007 Author Posted July 2, 2007 Yeah, I guess the spine should go the whole width of the base. I ought to try and swap my tan 4x1's with stud holes that have the 'ribs' coming out for white ones to give more o a backbone appearance too. May have some updates in the next few days... Quote
mutley777 Posted July 2, 2007 Posted July 2, 2007 *y* Very nice work jp-30! I don't think i have ever seen someone recreate this scene before! Quote
Hinckley Posted July 2, 2007 Posted July 2, 2007 jp-30, that's really great! Thanks for sharing. It's quite a nice little diorama. Can I offer a photgraphy suggestion? for dioramas, you should try to use a shadow box, you can use three pieces foamcore arranged into a box. It'll reflect your light source back into the diorama. Look into it, you can google shadow box and you'll find some great camera setups for low budgets. Great job, you have a great eye and thanks again for sharing! Quote
Wout Posted July 3, 2007 Posted July 3, 2007 Very nice, Pity you had to saw the head of its torso. I also think it was better if the skelehorse had more moving pieces. But a nice moc. :-) Quote
jp-30 Posted July 4, 2007 Author Posted July 4, 2007 Well, I bought the horse specifically to use its head in my Tatooine scene. Would have been nice if it was removeable, of course, but I'm OK with the occasional brick mod when absolutely necessary. Quote
CopMike Posted July 4, 2007 Posted July 4, 2007 Very nice & creative Moc jp-30 *sweet*! keep up the good work *y*. Tan On copmike Quote
