[MOC] Forbidden Planet

[BrokenEye]

This is a set I made for LEGO Ideas, but I figured I'd share it here as well. I'm still very new on Eurobricks and this is only the very first MOC that I've posted, so I'm open any tips anyone has to offer about how to format these sorts of posts in the future.

 

The set is based on science fiction classic Forbidden Planet and includes minifigs of all the main characters from the film, including a block-built version of Robbie the Robot, plus the weird unnamed space-car thing that Robbie drove around. I also included a minifig-scale lego version of the film's poster.

 

 

I tried to make everything as accurate to the film as it was possible to get at that scale, including custom decorations for the uniforms complete with accurate rank insignias.

 

 

Here's some various angles of the car thing. Sadly, I wasn't able to make it so the front opens like in the film.

 

 

Here's some of Robbie. Funnily enough, he actually has greater range of articulation than the original Robbie costume/prop did.

 

 

And here's some closer looks at the poster I designed for it

 

 

Let me know what you think. If you like it, please take the time to support it on Lego Ideas.

I like this film a lot. What a lovely homage you made for it. Especially the poster is hilarious!
