Mpyromaxos Posted April 12, 2016 Hello guys, this is my latest moc for a greek contest (fantasy - epic theme). Tell me your opinion and thoughts about it! This is my first big Moc, so.. be gentle! Tnk you and enjoy it! __________________________________________________________________________________ “Invoke the gods” (ask the help of the gods) “Χρῲ τοις Θεοίς..” (Νa επικaλείσaι τους θεούς.) Solon (Greek: Σόλων; c. 638 – c. 558 BC) In Greek mythology, Poseidon is the god of the land and the sea, rivers, sources and drinking water .. With his trident could both create rough seas and calm waters.. His symbols were the trident, fish and occasionally the horse or the bull.. According to legend.. the Poseidon seduced Medusa in the temple of Athena.. the goddess was so furious with it.. so she transformed Medusa into monster.. The ugliness was such.. that whoever looked at her face.. turned into stone .. Medusa wanted to revenge Poseidon now.. so she kills the priestesses and the soldiers who guard the temple .. Their only hope now is to seek the help of the gods.. But to be heard by the gods, they need a sacrifice.. Hermes.. the messenger of the Gods, is there and waiting to hear the invocation to the gods and to carry the message .. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Greeble Posted April 12, 2016 Lovely! All the little details are nice, especially Medusa! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BrickCurve Posted April 12, 2016 (edited) Excellent MOC. The only detail I feel needs work is the division between light and dark grey in the cliff. The place where it changes is too a bit too flat, particularly in the middle of the cliff. Adding a dark grey slope slightly higher up would really improve it in my opinion. Everything else is just about perfect. Edit: Especially since it is your first large MOC, i'm impressed. Edited April 12, 2016 by BrickCurve Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Darth Wayne Posted April 22, 2016 I am absolutely stunned by this thing... Amazing stuff! 2 things though: 1) This is the first time i saw a bow done like this, what a simple and brilliant idea! 2) If there is ONE tiny tiny thing i'd improve here then it may be the trans clear 2x2 risers you're using for the archer, i feel 2 2X5 bricks would look cleaner here Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'me glad you like it! Well.. at first I wanted to give him to holding a stick instead of a bow, but that day i had bought two cows.. and after a little experimentation.. I saw that it came out very nice, so I tried it, and the result came up very good i think..!! Now, for the trans-clear pieces you're absolutely right that 1x2x5 is better .. but unfortunately I only had 1x2 available ..
