MagPiesRUs Posted October 17, 2007 (edited) This is my first proper MOC. I know it isn't that good, but I find it quite entertaining :-D Three ninja sneak up a tower, intent on stealing a skilled ronin's valuable treasure, which was passed from generation to generation. The ronin is not goning to stand by and let them take it though- hence, the ronin rumble begins >:-) I'm still having problems with brickshelf, so I've used imageshack again |-/ Anyway, here it is: A view of the whole thing Two of the ninja get a nasty surprise - in the form of an angry samurai with a katana 8- Edited October 18, 2007 by TinyPiesRUs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LuxorV Posted October 17, 2007 That was very nice work, especially if you say it is your first vignette *y* Very good and detailed scenario, and ninja vs samurai is always a great theme. Are you a fan of Naruto? LuxorV Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheFrisian Posted October 17, 2007 Definitely not bad for a first try! It's a nice little scene that really tells its own story. A big thumbs up from me! *y* I did have a question though... Why does a Japanese samurai have a Chinese style helmet? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Asuka Posted October 17, 2007 A very fine and classical vig indeed! *y* And Frisian, I think that conical hat was very common in Japan too.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheFrisian Posted October 17, 2007 And Frisian, I think that conical hat was very common in Japan too.... You're quite right! The wiki article even states that the Japanese also had a military version made of lacquered hardened leather. How interesting, I've never heard of that one before! I always associated samurai with headgear similar to that seen in the LEGO Ninja theme. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wout Posted October 17, 2007 ouch! 8-| Nice moc *y* :-D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Batbrick Posted October 17, 2007 Very awesome vig TinyPiesRUs! *sweet* Great to see the ninjas again, and a very intriguing scenario! *y* But those Ninjas better win! Ninjas are way better! >:-) TTFN! >:-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iamded Posted October 17, 2007 Awesome job! Very detailed, and some nice action going on! Keep up the good work! And Batbrick, I did some study on ninjas. They are not really better than samurai, as they mainly work in espionage, assassination, sabotage and scouting. Also, their swords sucked. If they killed a samurai, they would take his sword, because it was way better than his. Trust me, I did an eight minute speech on this. Actually, it was mainly listing off ninja weapons, but hey. ~Peace. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

captaintau Posted October 17, 2007 Sorry to be picky or pedantic, but the plural for Ninja is Ninja. Nice MOC, though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zouave Posted October 18, 2007 Nice moc. The tower looks great. If I remember ronin were the samuria after the the age of the samuria was over. They wandered arounded hiring themselves out as assasins and other stuff like that. I hope to see more great mocs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MagPiesRUs Posted October 18, 2007 Thanks, everyone *wub* That was very nice work, especially if you say it is your first vignette *y* Very good and detailed scenario, and ninja vs samurai is always a great theme. Are you a fan of Naruto? LuxorV Thanks *sweet* I've seen Naruto a couple of times, but I'm not a fan. But those Ninjas better win! Ninjas are way better! >:-) Well, two of them have already been impaled :-X so the last one may have some trouble on his hands :-D Sorry to be picky or pedantic, but the plural for Ninja is Ninja. Yeah, I thought it was ninja, but then someone else told me it was ninjas 8-| If I remember ronin were the samuria after the the age of the samuria was over. They wandered arounded hiring themselves out as assasins and other stuff like that. I hope to see more great mocs. Yes, ronin were basically wandering samurai with no allegiance to a shogun or without a master. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iamded Posted October 18, 2007 Sorry to be picky or pedantic, but the plural for Ninja is Ninja. Again with the proving wrong. :-P "In English language, the plural of ninja can be either unchanged as ninja, reflecting the Japanese language's lack of grammatical number, or the regular English plural ninjas." ~Peace Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
