Aurore Posted September 28, 2019 Posted September 28, 2019 (edited) I'm feeling tropical lately, and decided to build something different from my usual medieval-fantasy MOCs - something inspired from vintage jungle adventures and pulp fictions. I hope it's in the appropriate forum category! Every morning, Miss Aurora McGregor would walk around the little tract of jungle she now called home. Several months had passed since the plane crash, since the party sent by the Natural History Museum in search of the lost city of Kibiru got stranded in a forgotten land. Some of the survivors were desperate to come back to civilisation. Others were thrilled to discover a lost world. Aurora ... just felt like she had always belonged here.

Retro Posted September 28, 2019 Posted September 28, 2019 Really beautiful. It gives me a bittersweet feeling though, as someone who likes technology! It reminds me of reading Hot House by Brian Aldiss. A descent back into primitive life. Nice gekko and primitive carving. I wonder what minifigure head you used. Quote
Aurore Posted September 29, 2019 Author Posted September 29, 2019 @Retro Thank you very much! I have to admit I had a more "temporary" return to primitive life in mind when building this vignette, more along the lines of the classic robinsonades than the Hothouse...but that is definitely an interesting perpsective! PS : the minifigure head belongs to Carina from PoTC (I think it has been re-used for Hermione in one of the latest HP sets) Quote
MAB Posted October 2, 2019 Posted October 2, 2019 The coconut head from Moana works really well in that totem stump. Quote
JJBricker Posted October 3, 2019 Posted October 3, 2019 I just love these type of small vignette MOCs! Great job @Aurore! Quote
Aurore Posted October 3, 2019 Author Posted October 3, 2019 @WesternOutlaw Exactly! That song is the first thing I thought of when I saw "Clan of the Cave" Batman's leg part… Thank you for your comment! @MAB Thank you, I'm glad you like it! @JJBricker Thank you very much! Quote
bricksboy Posted October 4, 2019 Posted October 4, 2019 small space, but included a lot of detail. Very nice build. A++ Quote
Henk61 Posted October 5, 2019 Posted October 5, 2019 I do love this build! Very detailed and very cute! Nice work you have done here! Quote
Aurore Posted October 5, 2019 Author Posted October 5, 2019 @bricksboy Thank you very much! @Henk61 Thank you so much for those kind words! Quote
Thedarkmaster2 Posted October 6, 2019 Posted October 6, 2019 Where did the money head come from? I recognize the women's face but what is that? Quote
Aurore Posted October 7, 2019 Author Posted October 7, 2019 @Thedarkmaster2 The totem head is the kakamora from set 41150 "Moana's Ocean Voyage". Quote

paulinho-knbl Posted November 18, 2019 Posted November 18, 2019 Hey, what a fun moc. Just wondering where you got those printed arm pieces from? Quote
Aurore Posted November 19, 2019 Author Posted November 19, 2019 @paulinho-knbl Thank you! The printed arms come from the Clan of the Cave Batman minifig. Quote
