Rubblemaker Posted June 10, 2020 (edited) Hi all. I’ve just completed this moc made of about 3,000 pieces. Its called 'Let slip the dogs of war' and is a post-apocalyptic scene in which a huge dog-like mech encounters a small dog which its programming cannot decide is a friend or foe. It took 2 months to design and build. I started with the intention of just making a black 4 legged mech which quickly grew into this much larger project.

Thanks :) it was all looking a bit colourless until I had the idea of making it half flooded. Needed a source for the flooding, really pleased that you noticed it! :) 8 hours ago, Jerry McGlade said: Awesome creation! Thanks mate :) 6 hours ago, leafan said: Good work @Rubblemaker!

Vindicare Posted July 10, 2020 This is great all around. The little scene you built around the mech is nicely done & the mech is fantastic. After seeing the Scuttler, this is something I could see Batman using. That mech is quite formidable looking...that’s a very brave dog. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wasn’t even aware of the Scuttler until I read your reply here and googled it. Pretty awesome looking set, and thanks for the compliments. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I may well indeed do that. Though knowing me, I'd probably just use the pieces in it for mocs. Looks like it has some interesting parts. Already giving me ideas.... ?

AmperZand Posted July 21, 2020 Excellent creation! Great sculpturing, texturing and detailing - with a dash of humour. All the drama of Shakespeare encapsulated in the quote: ‘Cry Havoc! And let slip the dogs of war.’ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
