Darth Wayne Posted June 10, 2016 Posted June 10, 2016 This is a little something i did on the side. I was gonna do a more ambitious project initially, but i just don't have the necessary time these days, so i settled for a little display vignette instead! Since i am a pretty big fan of the Ninja's jungle outfits, i thought i was gonna "hide" a bunch of them in plain sight within a little jungle scenario :) While i have been out of my dark ages for 4 years now, and have built plenty of sets so far, please note that when it comes to MOCs, i am a complete newb, so i still have a lot to learn as far as detailing, building techniques etc. go, so be gentle ;) Comments, thoughts etc. are appreciated!

Exetrius Posted June 10, 2016 Posted June 10, 2016 It looks quite alright, actually! Your efforts on giving the wall extra texturing are good and it definitely has that jungle vibe to it, especially in the corners. The forest floor could maybe use some extra brown or dark green plates, tiles, cheese slopes or wedge plates, to make the plants blend together more nicely. It took a while to spot the third Quote
Umbra-Manis Posted June 10, 2016 Posted June 10, 2016 Nice MOC! Those suits do look great for hiding in a jungle! Quote
Gunman Posted June 11, 2016 Posted June 11, 2016 Hey... the vibrant colors and the packed folliage make this a great moc to display! I really like it. Quote
Darth Wayne Posted June 11, 2016 Author Posted June 11, 2016 Thanks... the only thing i am not quite satisfied with is that yellow exotic plant, Skylor is hiding behind... I was really struggling to come up with something here, and there's gotta be better ways to make a more "obvious" looking yellow plant i am sure... Quote

Darth Wayne Posted June 12, 2016 Author Posted June 12, 2016 A big bush with yellow flowers, I think. You mean like the red bush i used for Kai there, just in yellow right? That would have worked, i have one too from Mixels but then i guess it would be too samey to the red one... Quote

I meant something in the direction of a regular tree branch piece with flower stem pieces (those with 6 stems) plugged into it, on which you put yellow flowers. Quote
BrickCurve Posted June 13, 2016 Posted June 13, 2016 Nice one, it would be nicer if it was mounted on a higher base though. Quote
Iria Posted June 14, 2016 Posted June 14, 2016 Cool idea! The red ninja just sitting in the middle of the plant is hilarious. I agree that having different flower/foliage for each ninja is the way to go. I wasn't sure if the yellow plant was actually a plant (my brain went to fire hydrant). Maybe sticking something like yellow horns or claws out of the small flower pieces would make it more plant like? Quote

Yeah i know, the yellow plant isn't the best part, but i am hurting for pieces in that color kinda :( Quote
gamejutzu Posted June 17, 2016 Posted June 17, 2016 (edited) Technically they're called the zukin suits, but I'm nit gonna be that person... I do have to say though, the only suits that are actually practical for hiding in a jungle are Lloyd, Cole, and Jay, lol. Edited June 17, 2016 by gamejutzu Quote

Thanks for clarifying, i am watching the show but currently only up to Season 3 (rebooted) so these suits are yet to come for me ;) Yeah, by Jay i assume you mean under water, right? :P Quote
PickleManDan Posted June 17, 2016 Posted June 17, 2016 Yeah, by Jay i assume you mean under water, right? :P Or possibly behind a waterfall. Quote
gamejutzu Posted June 19, 2016 Posted June 19, 2016 Yeah, by Jay i assume you mean under water, right? :P Or in an electrical storm :P Quote
