Troll Masscre (Waste Not, Want Not)

[SirNadroj]

Hi! Here's my CC Battle Contest entry.

"Waste Not, Want Not"

(The Troll Massacre)

Yes, more of a massacre than a battle, but a battle none the less. This poor wanderer was minding him own buisness. He walked in the mushroom-covered, under-brush infested forest when he was suddenly robbed at sword point by a duo of trolls. One troll took all his money. Though the man tried to put up a fight, he was no match. The second troll took his sword and sliced him in two. Ouch. He was having a bad day, no doubt.

Now, why did I entitle this "Waste Not, Want Not"? Well, what do the trolls plan on doing with the body? Why, eat it, of course! (I was inspired by Sweeney Todd, duh! ;-) ) This was a fun build for me, and allowed me to produce, in my opinon, the finest landscaping (plants, trees, fungi) I've ever made! Enjoy:

(Slightly on the "picture-heavy" slide. ;-) )

Here are some more pics, too:

Wow... umm... violent? *sing* *skull* :-D

Great MOC, and a great use of red snakes! Also love the custom trolls, the Indy bags look really good with two together. Love the way the body flies up into the air, leaving a trail of blood taller than he is! ;-) Where did you get the idea?

The only problem is that now I have to eat dinner... :'-(

Very nice. I too appreciate the bloody entrails etc. Quite creative, if violent. Also, I like the troll with the Asian style hat. That looks great--and the blood detail on the sword. Also, the use of the bionicle pieces ... like the one root ... just great touches. Nice work!

How much blod does that guy have in him lol anyway Nice Moc. So detailed too! *y*

[Dragonator]

This is a really great Moc, SirNadroj! I think the foliage has been done really well, I love the way you did the trees and the undergrowth is very detailed. I spotted a construction helmet! :-P

The gore is hilarious! :-D >:-)

The minifigs are very nicely chosen, with nice weapons. I like the way you made the blood running off the sword.

A nice job, once again! *sweet* *y*

[I Scream Clone]

Very nice, I love a simple explanatory vignette!

Now off to bricklink to get me some tree stuff.....

[goggleson]

They may seem like stupid details...but I really like the snakes/worms in the grass and the leaning trees.And the gore.

You're 1000th post is comming up ;-) make it count

[iamded]

That is some niiice foliage! *y* Neat lil mushrooms, I love the crowded messy look of the forest floor, and great trees too. And the gore is wonderful too of course. :-D Great job!

A nice scenery indeed, with a fine landscaping, an interesting use of cherries and a very neat money bag, and the MFs look really great. *y*

[Jipay]

[BlueBard]

A bit too gore, but nice work anyway! *sweet*

Nice work.

I love the way You did the blood / gore.

Great MOC. Super use of the bricks and colours.

I wish I could do something like that.

EDIT: One thing though. What's the light gray thing one of the orcs/trolls is holding? And did You GLUE :-X :-X it or does it just look like that?

Like others have mentioned, the foliage in this is great. All the various types of plants and colours really give it a nice look.

I can appreciate the work you put into the gore, but I don't like it. While overboard gore can be fun in creations, I feel this is just a bit too extreme... that his upper body is so high up, yet hasn't turned at all is also a bit odd for me. That being said, I really like the use of the rubber bands on the sword, that's a sweet detail!

[Cardinal Brick]

It's a great vig, the use of the snakes et all for blood is very well done, I like that you've changed up the trolls rather than just using the stock ones, and I must say the forrest is very impressive.
