Aurore Posted June 8, 2019 Posted June 8, 2019 I'm honoured (and rather nervous) to present you my very first MOC since childhood...As of now I had only built minifigures or modified existing sets. Then I built a Valkyrie minifigure. Gave her a horse (all girls want a pony, right?). Remembered the Nibelungenlied, the legend of Siegfried. Added other characters. Wanted to display them on a shelf and built them a stand. Now here they are... Characters from Wagner's opera "Der Ring des Nibelungen" (Ring of the Nibelung). From left to right :- One of the Rinemaidens, water nymphs and guardians of the Rhinegold, - The Wanderer, aka Wotan, king of the gods, with the two Ravens, - Brünnhilde the Valkyrie, with her horse Grane, - Siegfried, the infamous dragon slayer, - Mime the Nibelung.Mythical - Der Ring des Nibelungen by Aurore, sur Flickr More details of each character: Mythical - Der Ring des Nibelungen : Rhinemaiden by Aurore, sur Flickr Mythical - Der Ring des Nibelungen : Wotan by Aurore, sur Flickr Mythical - Der Ring des Nibelungen : Brünnhilde by Aurore, sur Flickr Mythical - Der Ring des Nibelungen : Siegfried by Aurore, sur Flickr Mythical - Der Ring des Nibelungen : Mime by Aurore, sur Flickr Quote
zoth33 Posted June 9, 2019 Posted June 9, 2019 Very nice figs. I like the way you transitioned the base to fit each character. I really like the Rhinemaiden and Wotan. Nice job and welcome to Eurobricks! Quote
Pdaitabird Posted June 9, 2019 Posted June 9, 2019 Welcome to eurobricks @Aurore! That's an excellent MOC and it's nice to see one based on such a great composer's work! Quote
Aurore Posted June 9, 2019 Author Posted June 9, 2019 Thank you very much for your warm welcome and comments! Quote
Hunter003 Posted June 13, 2019 Posted June 13, 2019 looks great. Love the trans red bar on the anvil as hot metal Quote

I can't claim the idea of the trans red bar though, I'm pretty sure I've seen it somewhere (but I don't remember where). Quote
rodiziorobs Posted June 14, 2019 Posted June 14, 2019 The overall effect is great, with some spot-on choices for minifigs. Thanks for sharing! Quote
LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted June 15, 2019 Posted June 15, 2019 Brünnhilde looks very well done but the water nymph is perfect and beautiful! Quote
Aurore Posted June 16, 2019 Author Posted June 16, 2019 @rodiziorobsThank you very much! @LEGO Train 12 Volts Glad you like her! Quote
sander1992 Posted June 17, 2019 Posted June 17, 2019 I am not familiar with the story (I think). But this looks great! Quote
Aurore Posted June 18, 2019 Author Posted June 18, 2019 @sander1992 Thank you! It's a great epic story about how cursed gold lead the norse/germanic gods to their demise. Many different versions exist though, with more or less surnatural elements... Quote
ArneNielsen Posted June 18, 2019 Posted June 18, 2019 What an attention to detail. You even got the one-eyed Wotan (or Odin) spot on, with his ravens Hugin and Munin. Excellent work! Quote

Aurore Posted June 20, 2019 Author Posted June 20, 2019 @ArneNielsen, thank you very much! I'm really glad you appreciate Odin - I was really enthusiastic when this minifig head was realeased as it immediately made me think of him. @GhostDog : thank you! It's true it's been a while since I have not seen a movie, serie, or whatever, based on this story... Quote
Atilio Posted July 5, 2019 Posted July 5, 2019 This is very nice, love it! Keep on doing such pretty things in the Historic Themes Quote
Littleworlds Posted July 16, 2019 Posted July 16, 2019 Ooh! That's brilliant! I love Wagner's Ring, even if its one of the more challenging works to listen through, to say the least . The characters and landscaping is very well done. Not a bad start into MOC-making! Now I'd love to see some of the bad guys as well. Maybe Hagen, King Gunther, Hunding and Alberich. Quote
Aurore Posted July 17, 2019 Author Posted July 17, 2019 @Littleworlds Thank you! I Indeed need to build a second series with those guys...I had drafted Hunding and Sieglinde, but was not satisfied with them. Quote
Governor Mister Phes Posted July 28, 2019 Governor Posted July 28, 2019 Admittedly I'm not familiar with the source material but these are some fine figures! Very good, @Aurore - I have frontpaged your first post-childhood MOC. Quote
Aurore Posted July 28, 2019 Author Posted July 28, 2019 @Mister Phes Wow, thank you so much!! I feel really honoured by this feature! Quote
