Super Hero Tower

[Jareth]

My LUG is making a super hero tower together for public displays.

I've made the base and three floors so far.

Sewer level, with TMNT

Flash Level

Plant Level (Posion ivy will be donated by another user)

Chairface Chippendale, with moon engraving gun.

Japanese Schoolgirls on pteradactyls, because.....why not?

Alltogether

I love the little tmnt babies! Awesome and clever design

I also like how you made the little turtles using the green helmets.

This MOC hasn't gotten enough love!

I love how entirely zany this thing is. I mean, seriously, it makes no sense whatsoever! But it's still very neat anyway. How did you come up with the concept?

Also, I hope you'll update us once more floors have been created.

Is that Chairface from the Tick ?

I agree! I honestly don't really understand this MOC either, (who is Chairface Chippendale anyway?) but I love the Flash, and the way you depicted his "speed blurs" (or whatever you would call that motion blur effect from his speed), so good job on that! I also love the baby turtles. I can't wait to see the final version!

@ Clone O'Patra: Thank you! We came up with the idea for two reasons. First, we wanted something that would look at conventions or in a display box at a lego store. So we went for height. Second we wanted something anyone could participate in. By having a simple concept (32 long, 16 deep, 9 2/3 high) with an elevator in common space, we were able to all do our own thing without worrying if it was going to work together or not. Yeas, I will update it when I get some time. The second of two conventions is this weekend, but I'll make the tower photos 1st priority.

@ Dr. Cogg: Yup, I didn't have many superhero figs, so I customed a couple. This also led to variety of the tower since there's a limited number of super heroes.

@ The Strategist: I originally had a youtube clip, but.....anyway, In the 90s there was a superhero cartoon called the Tick. It was one of the funiest things I've ever seen. One of the villains was called Chairface Chippendale.

This is the second or third recent "modular build" I've seen that has been based on stacking floors (as opposed to like the moonbase or castle-wall builds which put baseplates next to one another). Great Idea.

Love the plant floor for Poison Ivy.

Post again when you've got more levels! Or make a building to compete against it - Judge Dredd Blockwars Style.

As promised, here are more pictures...more to come later

The top of the tower (not built by me)

Poison Ivy Level and Freinds level (built by me)

Mandarin's Lab (not by me)

Chaos!!!!! (by me & others)

Joker's Level and Iron Man's Lab (not by me)

Spider-man's Battle (by me)

I have more pictures, but I have to convert them to a better size first.

Ok last of the pictures are resized. There are a lot of them, so I'm going to concentrate an the ones that have't gotten a good view yet.

The rest you can see when this folder goes public (http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=535288)

The roof

The danger room (not by me)

Aquaman vs. Mr Freeze (Not by me)

The Action layers....this pic doesn't do it justice. A crank on the side makes the flames flicker up and down, wolverine and Venom circle each other and Magneto levetate several object in the room.

Samurai Jack levels

Mole People!!

Deadpool with Manequin Hostage

An interior shot of Batman vs Starro

[LEGO Train 12 Volts]

Thousands of bricks and comic characters to create one of the most amazing moc I've ever seen! :wub:
