I Scream Clone Posted December 18, 2010 Posted December 18, 2010 Kung Fu Squiddie Final Rounds Fatality Fighters from all around travel to compete in the ultimate fighting tournament overseen by Grand Master Squiddie. His Dojo sits atop the frozen horizon of a far off land. The trek alone is treacherous and all who make it know they may not survive the tournament either! All attempting to win favour with Grandmaster Squiddie or even usurping his leadership. Special gues appearance of Kung Fu Kelso! Posing by Mark Kelso Flickr Set. Thanks for looking. Quote
the Inventor Posted December 18, 2010 Posted December 18, 2010 Great work ISC, I had already seen it on flickr but such a nice creation deserves some more comment. What I really like are the walls, and how you build them, the dark red gate looks also really well done. The gong is also a clever build, which I really like. The figures look really nice with those yellow studs representing bare feet, but as this is posted in sci-fi I think it could use a couple more aliens, because without Grand Master Squiddie it doesn't look very sci-fi. the Inventor Quote
Captain Green Hair Posted December 18, 2010 Posted December 18, 2010 Great MOC, takes my mind right back to movies like wrong bet and blood sport! The tape on the leg wouldn't be my choice, but it does look very cool. Quote
I Scream Clone Posted December 18, 2010 Author Posted December 18, 2010 Thanks Inventor, glad you approve, I may yet take some more pics with some actual squiddie action when he busts out the moves! The tape on the leg wouldn't be my choice, but it does look very cool. Cheers mate, its all legit LEGO. I cut the edges off some sticker sheets from some old waterski set. Quote
Jargo Posted December 18, 2010 Posted December 18, 2010 Wow that's gorgeous. I love the cleanness of the build. levitating Squiddie is cool. I've saved that first pic to serve as inspiration for my own city dojo. I could never build anything as magnificent so no fear of me copying. Quote
Baylego Posted December 18, 2010 Posted December 18, 2010 This is awesome! I really like your wall and Kung-Fu techniques. Quote
XimenaPaulina Posted December 18, 2010 Posted December 18, 2010 Wow, as in totally Wow! Simply a fantastic creation ISC! Lots of things to fall in love with in this build, I don't even know where to start. First, you really captured perfectly how a Kung Fu Dojo should look like in Lego, and you achieved it through a purist approach without resorting to printed elements and/or stickers to convey the oriental elements of this structure. The details are simply what I would expect to see in a real Dojo. Then, the brickbuilt fight pose of those two martial artists are very ingeniously done, it couldn't have been done better. Very clever and effective. Perfect use also of the proper facial expression. Even the background minifigs are all nicely customized. Overall, just a brilliant MOC which has been a pleasure to look at. Again, impressive work, my hats off to you Sir! Quote
MightySlickPancake Posted December 18, 2010 Posted December 18, 2010 Another brilliant MOC I Scream Clone . You have captured the scene fantasticly . You have used some fantastic techniques like the sticker sheets. Great work. Thanks, CB Quote
Mrlegoninja Posted December 18, 2010 Posted December 18, 2010 Great! I really like how you made Squiddie levitate in air and how you made the figures' legs. NIce job. Quote
Bricks4u Posted December 19, 2010 Posted December 19, 2010 Thats a very nice design. How did you keep the cheese slopes together? Quote
Dannylonglegs Posted December 19, 2010 Posted December 19, 2010 Marvelous! I really admire the cleanness of this piece, it is not overdone, nor plain and simple. The premise is quite amusing too, and I must Lol at the prospect of Squiddie doing kung-fu! (well, he can outrun a space police raptor on foot, so there's no questioning his leg strength. ) the human figs are great too, and the kung-fu poses are top-notch too! Might I ask how you managed to make the black warrior's legs attach to him? ~Insectoid Aristocrat Quote
I Scream Clone Posted December 19, 2010 Author Posted December 19, 2010 Thanks a lot guys for the nice words. Marvelous!

(well, he can outrun a space police raptor on foot, so there's no questioning his leg strength. ) the human figs are great too, and the kung-fu poses are top-notch too! Might I ask how you managed to make the black warrior's legs attach to him? ~Insectoid Aristocrat No Problem, I took the clear edge of a sticker sheet and cut thin strips off. These were then placed on the back of the legs onto the torso and one on top. So its all purist LEGO Quote
Big Cam Posted December 19, 2010 Posted December 19, 2010 That is the coolest alternate leg build I have ever seen. This is really cool. The entire dojo is just awesome. Quote
prateek Posted December 19, 2010 Posted December 19, 2010 (edited) Very nice as usual. The poses are great, and I love the SNOT floor and walls. All that gold really seals the deal for me No Problem, I took the clear edge of a sticker sheet and cut thin strips off. These were then placed on the back of the legs onto the torso and one on top. So its all purist LEGO Loophole snake man! You should be a lawyer Edited December 19, 2010 by prateek Quote
yumiyoshi Posted December 19, 2010 Posted December 19, 2010 Very nice MOC mr.ISC! I love the dojo, the caveman'beard on one of the opponent, the details, the magic squiddie and the vibe! Great job! Quote
I Scream Clone Posted December 20, 2010 Author Posted December 20, 2010 I decided to post a few more pics from the following rounds of Kung Fu action. Behold.... Clam attack beats Tornado kick! Furious Boom beats Fast Flying Fruit attack! Spinning Snakes beat lame Fabio jump! Fatality You weren't attached to this were you? All Dojo'ed out now I think! Quote
prateek Posted December 20, 2010 Posted December 20, 2010 Great new poses, and I love how you used the windshields as a force Quote
Zarkan Posted December 21, 2010 Posted December 21, 2010 This creation is awesome - great detailing, subdued but well thought-out color scheme, and some hilarious figure designs. I have to ask though... what exactly gave you the idea to use Squidman instead of a normal ninja master? Quote
I Scream Clone Posted December 21, 2010 Author Posted December 21, 2010 There is a Squiddie 16+ Group on Flickr who are trying to give Squiddie more exposure out there, so I decided to have a crack with the Dojo and Grandmaster Squiddie. Quote

Ah, cool. Little ol' P. Squiddy does deserve more attention, methinks, as do the rest of the Space Police III aliens. They really are brilliant figures for the most part, and it's nice to see that at least some AFOLs are embracing them. Quote
Sirens-of-Titan Posted December 25, 2010 Posted December 25, 2010 Beautiful MOC ISC!! The design of the room is excellent and the creative technique for the fighters is just eye candy. A very wild and inspired creation! Quote
