RebelRock Posted March 24, 2008 Posted March 24, 2008 Any Dune fans here? These Fremen have summoned a baby worm. Image is gallery when public. A shot. Another shot. Fremen with thumper and crysknife. Quote
Brickmaster Posted March 24, 2008 Posted March 24, 2008 (edited) Beautiful :'-) Remindes me of this one older movie where huge worms like that pop out of the ground all over and well, do what large tooth bearing worms do. Also of dune for sure (well, you based this on it, so it should!) It's great *sweet* I am curious though. What took longer: The landscaping, or the worm it'self that the diorama is based around? :-D Edited March 24, 2008 by Brickmaster Quote
Dragonator Posted March 24, 2008 Posted March 24, 2008 The landscaping on that is amazing! Great job! *y* That worm is really well done, and I like the Fremen. Overall a great MOC. *sweet* Quote
Hinckley Posted March 24, 2008 Posted March 24, 2008 I just finally commented on your goblin attack MOC. I won't wait so long to comment on this one. It's awesome! *sweet* As always, I love the landscaping, although I always do cringe at what that amount of tan (or in other cases, green, grey, brown, etc) could make in the way of a city modular MOC or a castle, etc...But it's put to great use regardless. I wish I had your skill with landscaping. What is great about this is the level of "organic" you reached for the sand worm. It's really hard, IMO, to make something look like a unique creature with the limits of LEGO bricks. But this sand worm is awesome! Excellent work, as always. Keep it up please! X-D Can't wait to see more. Quote

And just so this is on topic, I would guess that the landscaping took most time. -- Gsl Quote
RebelRock Posted March 24, 2008 Author Posted March 24, 2008 Actually, the landscaping goes pretty fast these days. I've developed a pretty good workflow for landforms. The thing that took the longest was trying to find a good way to make a worm with a three pronged mouth. Two or four is easy but three took some thinking. Hinckley, you should check out hachi's Brickshelf folder. I always go there for landscape inspiration. Quote
PaulC Posted March 24, 2008 Posted March 24, 2008 Holy cow that's a lot of tan bricks. And a very nicely realised sandworm, complete with a segmented body. This MOC is a real treat for those of us who remember Frank Herbert's epic saga. Quote
Inertia Posted March 24, 2008 Posted March 24, 2008 Wow, Another great MOC! I love the worm, if that's only a baby then... >:-) *skull* Well done RebelRock! X-D Quote
DJ Force Posted March 24, 2008 Posted March 24, 2008 Excellent MOC! The worm could use some more teeth, though :-) Seriously, this is an excellent piece of art. Bilah Kaifa! Quote
LuxorV Posted March 24, 2008 Posted March 24, 2008 Great job, RebelRock *y* I'm always impressed by your skills at depicting scenes with bricks! I *wub* the Dune series, and the way it was a source of inspiration for most of the jedi powers and abilities (Lucas said so himself :-$ ). Just one thing, though. Is this a small Shai Hulud or is it one of the last on Arrakis (like in the 4th & 5th books)? You know, the ones described in the first book were something like 200-400 meters in diameter and 500+ in lenght... [Ok, forget it, that would be impossible to build in minifig scale ;-) ]. Dune ON!

Joebot Posted March 24, 2008 Posted March 24, 2008 "I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration ..." WOW! That is really cool. You really nailed the look of the worms and the Fremen. Great stuff. Quote
Asuka Posted March 24, 2008 Posted March 24, 2008 A cool work, the Shai Hulud looks great and the Fremen fit very well too. :'-) Quote
SlyOwl Posted March 24, 2008 Posted March 24, 2008 *y* It looks a bit like the Sarlac? :-D These Fremen have summoned a baby worm. Unfortunately I read this with an nch in there! X-D Quote
Brickmaster Posted March 24, 2008 Posted March 24, 2008 I am guessing you're thinking about Tremors? Yep, you seem to be correct, heh! :-$ Quote
LegoLyons Posted March 24, 2008 Posted March 24, 2008 Simple, but awesome. Love the scene and just the simplicity of it all. Nice work. Quote
Inertia Posted April 17, 2008 Posted April 17, 2008 I just found this, it seems RebelRock's work made it onto Movieblog http://www.themovieblog.com/2008/03/lego-dune-sandworm If this was found already, sorry Quote
