kahir88 Posted January 15, 2019 (edited) I did not lost! Just had a really s#@& years end in my workplace,and also tried to build a couple of entries to the CCC, (if any of you interested) I returned, and I will continue Conrad's strory,but first, the Bread and Circuses Challenge! To understand my C category entry, we must look back to that point, when Conrad ordered three of his most trusty generals, in secret missions. (here is the recap: Scarlet's Scarlet Brothel) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is the story of Zan the Black Arrow. Zan was tasked to travell south, to the sandy land of Kaliphlin, with a small company of mercenaries. They traveled in secret across Avalonia. When they crossed the border, they were advised by a merchant, to buy a camel, it will help their journey. - Stuborn animal... Come on! - one of the soldier beging for the camel, while trying to force his will on the animal. - I told you, camelss are different from horses. - the other mercenary tired to caml the other down. - Can you remember the command word? - "Can you remember the command word?" - the mercenary stopped pulling the camels chains and started mimicing the other. - Wanna try it smartass? If Zan didn't arrive, the two soldier surely kill each other. - What are you arguing again morons? We must reach Barqa, as the boss tasked us, and you two thought it woud be a good time, to show which one has a bigger mouth? - he went to the camel, picked up the chains and pulled it. - Hut hut hut! - said the words, and repeated the pulling, and repeated the words again. The camel started to move again, the two soldiers was speechless. Zan gave the end of the chain to one of them, and continued the journey. He looked back: - When this is over, I will advise Conrad, to teach all of you some command words... Spoiler Edited January 27, 2019 by kahir88 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Basiliscus Posted January 15, 2019 Really fantastic brick-built camel and the minifig posing (especially the soldier pulling the chain) is very natural looking. The desert scene is quite simple but works well here, I like the layering of tan and dark tan plates. I'm not too sure about the black base, it's a bit distracting for me. Great job!

mccoyed Posted January 15, 2019 Great build, iffy base, but it's "wolves"! That camel is super impressive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zoth33 Posted January 16, 2019 Nice brick built camel. I agree that the base is a little off. I think a bigger base of tan and brown plates would be better. Figs are nice though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grover Posted January 19, 2019 I really like this build. The brick built camel works well, I think, and the layered dark and light tan wedge plates looks great. The tree with the small rock stand out on a small vignette like this and look good. As others have said, the black base has a lot of contrast, and I think you could probably get away without it, but it doesn't really detract from the build, so it doesn't really bug me much. Very nice job! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
soccerkid6 Posted February 5, 2019 Haven't seen many custom made camels, and yours works very nicely! Especially considering how pose-able it is Nice little desert base to go with it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rogue Angel Posted February 12, 2019 Great brick-built camel, and a nice clean build. Good work! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Henjin_Quilones Posted February 15, 2019 I like that camel a lot, and the fig posing is great, too. The base could be improved by removing the single 1x1 pyramid from the middle front, since that spoils the clean look that the black base gives to the irregular-based build.
