customBRICKS Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 (edited) This micro scene is from the original 1951 version of The Day the Earth Stood Still. This movie was an anomaly for its time. It was the first "A" science fiction alien movie with top notch actors, directors, music, etc in an era where most alien movies were low budget and shot in 1 week or less This movie also produced one of the first memorable robots, Gort, and the now often quoted phrase "Klaatu barada nikto" Is the alien spaceman Klaatu friend or foe? Check it out if you get a chance! Edited January 31, 2013 by customBRICKS Quote
Andy D Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 This is wonderful! Instantly recognizeable. I remember the scene well. Good lock! Andy D Quote
DraikNova Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 May I say that that is a lovely design for the UFO? Quote
Praiter Yed Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 Oh yes! A true classic. The flying saucer is very nicely shaped and I like the tank positioning but shouldn't this be in black and white ? Quote

The flying saucer is very nicely shaped and I like the tank positioning but shouldn't this be in black and white ? Haha!True, it should technically be in black and white so we'll call this a scene from the "colorized" version of the film! Quote
Wedge09 Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 Great :thumbup: I really like the style of this micro MOC Quote
TenorPenny Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 This is terrific, truly. Great scale and style. Quote
Dufresne Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 Those tanks are brilliant simplicity. Having not seen the film, what is the curved yellow tube supposed to represent? Quote
Si-MOCs Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 Another great classic-Sci-Fi moc build! Such an iconic scene. A lot of great build techniques ... the forest is gorgeous. And welcome to EB! Quote
A Plastic Infinity Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 Watched that movie, You've portrayed it masterfully. :thumbup: Love that UFO! Quote
customBRICKS Posted February 1, 2013 Author Posted February 1, 2013 Those tanks are brilliant simplicity. Having not seen the film, what is the curved yellow tube supposed to represent? Thanks! I love trying to make micro build that includes a hand somewhere. :) The yellow tube is the police barrier. I couldn't think of anything else to use that I had in my stock of parts Another great classic-Sci-Fi moc build! Such an iconic scene. A lot of great build techniques ... the forest is gorgeous. And welcome to EB! thanks and glad you like it. The only thing I wish I could change would be the "grass" to a sand green so the tanks and forest have some value contrast and are easier to see. But, unfortunately the only sand green I currently have is 2 1x3 tiles Quote
