Sabrien Reed Posted March 28, 2011 Posted March 28, 2011 (edited) Imagine, if you will, Count Dextula, a very ethical vampire, who only preys on morally corrupt people to get his blood fix. He came up with this idea after discovering the TV show, Dexter, which he watches religiously every week, and highly recommends to all his friends. Anyway, what kind of place would Count Dextula live and feed in? Here's my attempt to answer that question via the medium of Lego. Count Dextula brings his prey to this tower, either by flight or in his special fake ambulance (not shown here), and then drinks the blood on the rooftop. As you can see, he enjoys letting the spare blood splatter, in homage to Dexter Morgan. The photos shown above are actually from an old version of the tower, from before he renovated it and added an extra level. I hope to be able to bring pictures of that to you tomorrow. Enjoy!

Fuzzylegobricks Posted March 28, 2011 Posted March 28, 2011 I like it. The blood effect is well done! Quote
lightningtiger Posted March 28, 2011 Posted March 28, 2011 Well let the blood flow eh ? Not bad work there 'Sabrien Reid', but does this go in the town forum or historic one ? Anyway, Brick On ! Quote
Sabrien Reed Posted March 28, 2011 Author Posted March 28, 2011 Not bad work there 'Sabrien Reid', but does this go in the town forum or historic one ? When you see his ambulance, and his lounge in the new version, you'll see that this is definitely modern day. He just built the tower in the classic style for nostalgia reasons. Quote

He just built the tower in the classic style for nostalgia reasons. Great job Sabrien Reed. I love the blood SNOT techinques you used. I love watching the show Dexter. I've been told I look like Michael C. Hall. Can't wait to see the ambulance and the new version of the tower. Long live the classics! Quote
starwarsfanatic Posted March 30, 2011 Posted March 30, 2011 That's a good MOC. I'm looking forward to the new version pics, I want to see how it panned out. Quote
Sabrien Reed Posted March 30, 2011 Author Posted March 30, 2011 Sorry, I had a non-Lego day yesterday to appease my wife, but ended up just sorting loads and loads of paperwork all over our lounge, which annoyed her more than Lego! The new photos will be up tonight. Thanks for your interest! Quote
LEGO Guy Bri Posted March 30, 2011 Posted March 30, 2011 Great MOC SR Very gruesome scene here. Very nice work on the blood effect but, I see no recent victims? Count Dex must be hungry, no? He best grab a mop P.S. Sorry your wife finds Lego a nuisance, she is missing out Quote
Sabrien Reed Posted March 30, 2011 Author Posted March 30, 2011 The new version of the tower, now with living room to complement the dying room ;-) Once the sun has gone down, The Count emerges from under the floor, to get ready for his favourite TV show, Dexter. Count Dextula loves to watch his favourite show on his HDTV with surround sound. After the show, he celebrates another terrific episode with a drink atop his tower, with his assistant waiting down below with his fake ambulance. The victim is taken to hospital, or the morgue, dependent on how much of a threat he was to society, and how thirsty Count Dextula was. More photos are on Flickr. Quote
lightningtiger Posted March 30, 2011 Posted March 30, 2011 Interesting.....with that futuristic ambulance....I'm thinking sci-fi not town, looks like something out the 60's Thunderbirds. Aw, well he must also like watching a lot of TV......the heath channel or crime channel ? Keep going 'Sabrien Reed' and Brick On ! Quote
Sabrien Reed Posted March 30, 2011 Author Posted March 30, 2011 I admit that the ambulance will not be very inconspicuous, and it does indeed look quite sci-fi. The plates sticking out the side are there to mow down pedestrians "by accident". They get put straight in the back and end up in hospital safe and sound ... after a detour to The Tower, of course Quote
Winston Cooper Posted March 31, 2011 Posted March 31, 2011 I really loved your idea! You should pitch it to the T.V. networks. T.V. is all about vampires and Dexter; Combining them into one show would be AMAZING! Quote
