Uridius Dratiphe's Coat of Arms

[Garmadon]

It has been a while since Sir Uridius Dratiphe has been around in Mitgardia - however, that is (partly) because he has been occupied in fixing a huge shield with his coat of arms upon his castle's walls.

The heraldic symbols on the Dratiphe coat of arms consist of:

Gauntlet - strong and prepared

Scales - justice

Anvil - honor

Arrows - readiness for war

Motto - Omnia Praesignis Est (if you want to know what it means, look it up for yourself!)

Further, there's all the color stuff and the cornered shield, but I won't bother you with what all that means right now! You see, I actually did put a lot more work into this than it looks like!

This is my entry to the Coat of Arms category on MOCathalon, and when I started it, I figured I could make it so that it would work here as well as Uridius' coat of arms.

Thanks for viewing, C&C are welcome!

That shield itself is Great and the symbols are marvellous, but I Love that text and the way you made It! Great job

[Kai NRG]

Great work with this shield Garmadon, the shape is excellent and the scroll on the bottom adds a lot! The FP picture is really nice too! Really like the balances!

[VK-318]

Awesome!

[Captain Braunsfeld]

Very fine!

Great idea to build such a coat of arms.

And something like 48 x 42 is not a small coat of arms by all means.

The motto part must have been quite difficult - result is excellent!

That's an awesome coat-of-arms!

[bricklover]

That looks great!

[Garmadon]

Thanks all!

Thanks Titus! After a lot of fiddling I was quite happy with how the motto turned out!

Thanks Kai! The FP pic was one of my favorites as well!

Ha, ha, thanks Captain B! Glad you like it! I wouldn't say that it was necessarily the most difficult thing in the build, but it was pretty close!

This is epic!

[Gideon]

Wow! That shield is definitely one of the top brick-built insignia I've seen

[peedeejay]

Fantastic work on the shield signs and paper scroll! Great stuff!

[Umbra-Manis]

This is a fantastic build! Well done Garmadon!

[MassEditor]

Woah, that's awesome Garm! What a great idea, and a perfect execution. The fact that you put so much thought and meaning into this makes it even more special. Such a unique idea, thanks for sharing with us!

[BrickCurve]

A great idea that has been perfectly built, great job!

Thanks ME! When I got this category in the MA, using it over here was one of my first thoughts... and my second was that finding out exactly what symbols to use and how to build them was going to be some work! Thanks!

Really impressive build. The shield, motto, and wall are all excellent individual aspects that combine nicely The scales and gauntlets are probably my two favorite insignias on the shield

[de Gothia]

What a great Idea!! It turned out perfectly!! I'm impressed with the details you have in the shield!!

[Jacob Nion]

Amazing work. The idea itself is above ingenious. And the execution is superb. I wanted to give lord Osric a coat of arms for a while now, but my thoughts were about making custom stickers and clothing etc, but this is just so brilliant. Stunning!

[Patgeo]

WOW! Amazing Coat of Arms! Really nice creation with a lot of nice details! I loved the scale/libra!

[toycrazy74]

Cool and awesome MOC

[Garmadon]

Thanks all!

Thanks SK! The scales were actually surprisingly easy (probably because it was then that I decided that not everything needed to be attached )!

Thanks a lot de Gothia! Glad you like it!

Thanks JN! I doubt I would have thought of it myself though (at least I wouldn't have gotten around to it for a while! ) if it hadn't been for MA! And yes, I do kind of wonder how I am ever going to be able to scale this down a bit to fit in some minifig scale MOCs here! Thanks again!

[Mpyromaxos]

Good job! If you look it from far, it looks like a real shield!!

[Full Plate]

Excellent work Garmadon! Good shapes on the shield and the items all around The seamless transition between the center of the shield and the dark grey border is very impressive!

[LittleJohn]

Fantastic build, Garmadon! As Full Plate said, it's very impressive how closely you were able to get the sections to match around the edges

Excellent job with all the symbols and lettering too

[Garmadon]

Thanks guys!

Thanks Full Plate! Getting the shield's interior to fit in was a bit of work (all those nasty half-plate offsets! ), but I'm quite happy with how it ended up!

It was the idea of doing meaningful symbols and a motto which really made me want to do this build! Thanks LJ!
