Just a Flesh Wound

[Sariel]

Just a vignette. The context should be familiar for most of you, I hope.

My goal was to make this scene instantly recognizable while using minimum customization. So eventually I ended up painting Black Knight's helmet matte black (it's the only LEGO helmet I consider fitting and it does not come in black) and using two small bits of black plasticine to secure the spurting "blood". I was also trying to pose the combatants so as to suggest a natural body movement, hard as it is with the limited amount of limbs available.

The rest of the photos:

And the original scene:

I'm basically a Technic builder, so please be gentle with me :)

Great shot!

Love that scene, though I'm not sure about the coloured in helmet.

[Capt.JohnPaul]

Best. Vignette. Ever. King Arthur looks spot on and I never would have thought of using the red "blood" like that. Though maybe consider adding a bridge or some trees.

[TheLegoDr]

Very clever design. I have only seen that part of that film, so I only barely understand the context.

I thought the new Black Falcon helm was black?

Keep up the good work.

[Dwellington]

Aw, yeah!

I think it could use a couple red tiles or plates on the ground, to simulate puddled blood. Just a touch at the Black Kight's feet and where his arms landed.

Nicely done.

"Just a flesh wound"

Brilliant scene; great use of the 'blood' pieces.

Thanks for the video; it was great to see Monty again.

Well done.

Oh Python...

Hope there's more!

[Captain Blackbeard]

Ahh, that was a hilarious video. Great MOC!

[LEGO Train 12 Volts]

This made me smile. The plume piece as blood is good

"Come back I'll bite ya legs off!"

Sariel,

Your vignette is one of those things that stick in your mind.

Whilst preparing a medieval display for a model train show last weekend, I built a bridge across the river for the 3 Billy Goats Gruff. When I finished it, you vignette jumped out at me; "None shall pass!"

Thus I shamelessly copied your idea.

Both sides of the bridge provided interest; the billy goats for the kids and the Black Knight for the adults. There were a lot of grown ups walking around reciting the script from that scene; "It's only a scratch", "I've had worse" and " Come back and I'll bite your legs off.

OK, let's call it a draw.

Reading the title, I couldn't decide if this topic would be a battle between flesh and yellow minifigs, or a recreation of this scene. The vig made me smile, and it's a creative use of that red plume piece. Good job.

Sariel, your first pic was way to large so I changed it to a link. If you could please make a version that is 800x600 pixels or smaller, you can share that one here instead.

It is a really good vignett. I hope you can resize so people don't have to go off site to see it. Thank you.

Brilliant, absolutely brilliant, a very good luagh.

Nice one, both of you! This is one of my favorite movies, and I love seeing MOCs from it!

[Bilbo Baggins]

I loved the use you gave to the feathers to represent blood.

[Tria]

haahaha great vignette. Loved that scene, and the Ni! Ni! Thumbs up!

I loved the use you gave to the feathers to represent blood.

[Bjornu]

Now the scene of the knights that say Ni appears in my mind again

Great Vignette, I love this scene!
