Journey to the Center of the Earth MOCs

[SirNadroj]

As the title says, I am inspired by Tokyo's Disneysea's thrill attraction "Journey to the Center of the Earth" I'd like to make a large, wacked out diorama with strange creatures, glowing crystals and mushrooms, and a vehicle that has the capabilities to travel deep within the Earth...

Here's part of a ride video (not mine, of course ):

I want your opinon. Should I develop the characters and make a series of MOCs that tell a story? Should I stop at one dio? Let me know what you think, and if you think this has potential.

Here's some stuff I made already:

The Mole (vehicle)

Characters (un-named)

Strange, glowing crystalline substances:

Odd, semi-artistic pic?

Thanks very much for your help! (Because if I continue, I'd want to make it the best I can, and would be investing some money into it [bricklink ])

That looks very cool! Why make a poll? Go make some mocs for this ride or whatever it is! It Looks really cool. I love that steampunkish car thing, but the characters dont have enough, ummmm, character? Try changing the faces, they remind me too much of Speed Racer.

I love the steampunk-like Mole that you have built already. Looks intricate enough but still durable enough to dig all the way!

I can't really tell which piece you used to make the crystal light up. Which one is it?

This looks really neat! Loving that steampunk car thingy! Jule Verne stories always provide good material for great MOCs! And yes, I would very much like you to continue! Thereby, I would prefer vehicles and landsapes over creatures, but if you have a good idea for a monster-moc, don't let me stop ya! Now, if those MOCs would even tell some kind of adventurous story, that would be even cooler! And the best way to do so is in a comic!

Center of the Earth MOCs ON!

PS: If I may make a suggestion, you might want to consider using glow-in-the-dark pieces for your next chrystal MOC!

This certainly sounds interesting, and like a good idea! I reckon a story line would be best, that way you can have people itching to see what's next!

Of course you should go with this!

I have to say that the characters (minifigs) look a bit too... middle-aged nobility for the adventure. Maybe you should add a few younger people to keep it varied.

I do love steampunk, so I expect to see lots of that during the adventure! ;D

Looks very nice.

Is this disney attraction not based on the book of Jules Verne?

[Asuka]

It´s always nice to listen to a good story, especially when the story´s build with LEGO bricks.

And that´s an already very interesting vehicle with a nice crew and some cool background scenery....

[Fordo]

Sounds like a great idea to me, especially when your MOCing skills are stunning. The mole is a perfect start and the crystal formations as well. Can't wait to see more of these Moc's in a story line (If you choose to go that way).

[Norro]

Well naturally I'm partial to story telling MOCs (mmm)... so enjoy! In this case I personally would be too coloured by the book, but that's just me...

God Bless,

i think that you should actually try to build a real ride out of it... with tracks and scenery and other flashy stuff. i would be cool to see the mole running on a roller coaster track.
