blackdeathgr Posted June 6, 2017 Dear King Kahuna, bravest of the island (where Astrapi is located)! On behalf of the most serene, fabulous, modest, richest, kindest... blah blah blah... (that's what King Kahuna was listening by now)... we are here to make a statement! We know that you know someone who actually knows where the elusive Artifact of Zeus is hidden! So be a good boy, play nice and do tell us where the &#@$%^ artifact is! We do need it to blackmail our Zeus brothers for some nefarious purposes but that is of no concern to you... So what do you say? The meeting II The meeting V Chief of the Village (People) And the full build, Full view Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Capt Wolf Posted June 6, 2017 Another meeting? Are the bluecoats nothing but bureaucrats? By the looks of that 6-pack, I think King Kahuna has been working out! Nice little jungle MOC with some good details (like the torches and the native in Oleon uniform). But the Oleon approach to platitudes and negotiation might need a little work. (Did I use enough emojis?) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Garmadon Posted June 6, 2017 WHAT DID HE SAY??? Don't you know we're all dying to find out? Very funny story and nice build, Blackdeathgr, great job capturing the jungle feel, and neat use of those NINJAGO swords One of my favorite details is that pole with the fish being carried by the native - might have to steal borrow that sometime!

Bodi Posted June 6, 2017 Nice scene BD! I like these palm trees and these sceptres with skulls and axes. Who's this mysterious hood man? He has an emerald, maybe I could find some clue in Oleander archives. Also, I'm glad to see our brave mousquetaires are implied in this nefarious affair are there to defend the honour of the King.

(Did I use enough emojis?) Thanks Cpt Wolf! King Kahuna is covered in paint, thus that fabulous 6 pack of his! To be honest the torches were a last minute addition and the native recruited bluecoat was an idea that someone in BoBS has already implemented (I believe it was of Corrish heritage) And don't worry, your amount of emojis is plenty enough 19 hours ago, Garmadon said: WHAT DID HE SAY???

Well, I am not G.R.R. Martin but I DO want to make a series out of the whole story . Regarding the fish-pole thing, I initially wanted to make that out of rope but things didn't work out the way I wanted so I gave that design a try. Feel free to borrow anything! 19 hours ago, Bodi said: Nice scene BD! I like these palm trees and these sceptres with skulls and axes. Who's this mysterious hood man?

Thanks Bodi! Hint, Hint! Ask your local Hades enclave for more info on the black hooded priest!! These mousquetaires are a detachment that guards the priesthood of Oleon (although their uniforms are way too fancy for Hades branch I think...) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Capn Frank Posted June 7, 2017 Great build and good story. I'm glad to see the Zeus artifact story develop. I am liking the use of Ninjago sword handles for islanders. I'll have to keep that in mind for future builds. Although, I would have removed the 1X1 round tiles. Maybe add elemental Lego Elves tiles. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That those 1x1 round ninjago faces look waaay too ugly. To tell you the truth, you are all right Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
