cagri Posted March 28, 2009 Posted March 28, 2009 (edited) Here I am with another MOC. It's a small roadblock in a post-apocalyptic world. Military tries to repair an old radio tower after an attack from the rebels. I started this MOC with the intention of creating a big (I used 6 16x32 baseplates) battle scene. I wanted to build a blown up oil tanker and a deserted diner on the side. But the cost was big too so I turned it into a smaller vignette. I'll try the original idea some other time, when I have the cash. There are more images here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/legoadam/ http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=375663 (when public) Edited March 28, 2009 by cagri Quote
THE-FORCE Posted March 28, 2009 Posted March 28, 2009 OMG! That is amazing! I like this so much! Took it you long to build? Greets, The Force! Quote
-JD- Posted March 28, 2009 Posted March 28, 2009 Flippin' sweet! It all looks perfect! I wonder how cool your larger one would have looked... Greetings, JD Quote
Asuka Posted March 28, 2009 Posted March 28, 2009 That´s a very neat diorama and the cannon and these Czech hedgehogs´re very nice indeed. Quote
jifel Posted March 28, 2009 Posted March 28, 2009 Very impressive, and lots of great detail, plus the everwelcome Snot. Very Post Apoc-ish. jifel Quote
ILikePi Posted March 29, 2009 Posted March 29, 2009 Nice SNOT road! Did you use those 1 x 1 bricks with studs on all sides to make the "road blocks"? Quote
jifel Posted March 29, 2009 Posted March 29, 2009 Nice SNOT road! Did you use those 1 x 1 bricks with studs on all sides to make the "road blocks"? I believe that he did, no other piece that I am aware of would do the job. jifel Quote
prateek Posted March 29, 2009 Posted March 29, 2009 nice sand bag effect and what are those 3D plus signs supposed to be? spikes maybe? Quote
cagri Posted March 29, 2009 Author Posted March 29, 2009 Thank you for the nice comments! Nice SNOT road! Did you use those 1 x 1 bricks with studs on all sides to make the "road blocks"? Yes I have used these: http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=4733 nice sand bag effect and what are those 3D plus signs supposed to be? spikes maybe? They are tank blocks :) hence the "Roadblock" title http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Czech_hedgehog Quote
I Scream Clone Posted March 29, 2009 Posted March 29, 2009 A very nice creation cagri! I like the atmosphere of the whole scene. The hedgehogs are nice, though the idea of an exposed computer console isn't my idea of safe The little curved barricade is a nice addition. The cannon is really well designed. Is it me or is your SNOT road bending the baseplate? Once again you have made a really nice Post Apoc creation, well done! Quote
cagri Posted March 29, 2009 Author Posted March 29, 2009 Hi ISC, thank you for the kind words. The SNOT road doesn't bend the baseplate, it fits perfectly. But there is a gap between the base and the road. I could have replaced the tiles beneath the road with plates and it would stand fine. But it looked ugly that way, so I left it this way. Here's the recipé for the road: 1 darkbley plate + 1 white plate + 2 darkbley plates + 5 darkbley bricks + 2 darkbley/yellow plates + 5 darkbley bricks + 2 darkbley plates + 1 white plate + 1 darkbley plate And you fix them with these on two sides: http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=30414 http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=32000 It turns into a 16 stud wide road (plus one stud fixing bricks on each side, 18 studs total) Quote
prateek Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 They are tank blocks :) hence the "Roadblock" titlehttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Czech_hedgehog i knew they were road blocks but i dint know what they were called since i havent seen them before. thanks for getting that out of the way Quote
Batbrick Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 Very nice job on this large vignette Gagri! Love the really smooth look of the road contrasting to the left side. Those roadblocks are rather inventively done too. Your road is very neat too, I did the same technique on a larger scale with my Iceberg Lounge. I found it a bit hard to set up since you have to find the right length to fit, but it works really well for this road! Tan is always a good colour for post-apoc, so good usage here, I love the dish and the fort, that gun especially. That gun is really cleverly built! The tan wall also works great. All in all a very sweet moc! I'd love to see more form you! Batbrick Away! Quote
