Book 2 Challenge V Cat B: The Trojan Camel

Recommended Posts

The Desert King had come to inspect the progress of his latest war machine: The Trojan Camel (named after its inventor Abdul Trojan).

Unfortunately this incredible piece of military hardware had not been 100% completed by the time of the inspection.

Excellent craftsmen from Mitgardia and Kaliphlin were working together to complete the Camel.

Lovely stratified rock there, Captain B, the colors are great, and the curves on the bottom rows especially caught my eye!  Very neat 'Trojan Camel' (:laugh: :thumbup:) and scaffold buildings and vehicles as well, I do want to see the look on Ravaage's face when he gets that:grin:  That dark green cactus is really a great detail too!

:laugh::rofl: Such a wonderful idea, and very well executed! The stratified rock is superb, and of course the Trojan camel is excellent as well!
The various scaffolding platforms, bushes, and cactus are great details too :thumbup:

Very clever idea! I was wondering when the first Cat B entries would start coming in :grin: the shaping on the camel is nice, and the layered rockwork looks great, the Arizona-type western rocks not often seen in historica builds, great work! :classic::thumbup:

Brilliant work and clever idea! :laugh: Very much agree with everyone, the rock work looks great and I like the crowded and busy look of the entire scene. The Trojan camel looks like it is coming along very nicely as well, I especially like the base section's design. 

All in all, great stuff

Very nice camel! It has a rather cartoonish feel, with those giant googly eyes. The rockwork, as others have said, is the scene stealer here, at least for me; you did a great job on the terrain and adding the different layers of stone.

Yepp, that mountain was fun to do.

And the "machine" too.

Never look a gift camel in the mouth! :laugh: Nice build overall, the rock looks great! :thumbup:

I think I should do some more rockwork ..  but the challenge wanted me to build this dangerous machinery of war...

Thanks - I doubt that I can build a badger.

I thought it was a nice addition to Kaliphlin to have those "Arizone-type rocks". :classic:

Cartoonish feel?

I only build serious MOCs. Or am I confusing "serious" and "silly" again?

A non-Trojan monkey can be seen on the left... maybe he has conceived the whole thing...

Typical Captain Braunsfeld hilarity :laugh: Great touch with the camel's tongue, and the beautiful rock outcropping in the background sets the scene nicely :wub:

The rock work is solid, but that camel is flat out hilarious sir.

Thanks.  Why "but"? - "and" would also work in your sentence. :laugh:

Ok, sorry - but then again that is the advantage of putting the MOCs for a competition out early - the disadvange is that the MOC will not be as present in everyone's mind at the time of the competition deadline.

Yes, you have well spotted the beast's tongue.

I could have added some eye brows... :wink:

Outcropping? I probably need to learn some new words here.

How are you this creative? You have inspired me to try to make a "Trojan Walrus" because why not. Great Moc

I have to be creative. Or I cannot participate in the challenges....:wacko:

I'd be happy to see that Trojan Walrus!
