[MOC] Caveman vs. Cavebear

Recommended Posts

This picture (inaccurate as it may be) has stuck to my mind since I first saw it as a child. So after being challenged by my girlfriend, to build something while being intoxicated, this seemed like a VERY good idea :laugh: Hope you like it, but please "bear" in mind that it was built after downing a couple Gin-Tonics. :innocent2:

Very nice even for someone who is sober, let alone tipsy. The stonework's texturing is particularly well done. Overall, a charming creation :thumbup:

Great job matching the blocky rocks of the original picture.  Too bad you couldn't get the LEGO guy's arm to reach the bear's neck though.

Haha thanks a lot! For someone like me, who has a tendency of overthinking the placement of every brick, a few drinks made those choices surprisingly easy :laugh:

Thank you! The rock texture was without a doubt the hardest part, especially given that this is my first real snot-rockwork :cry_sad: I agree, at first I placed him closer to the bear but that made photographing it close to impossible. Maybe this scene is the moment just before what is depicted in the book :laugh:

building and drinking beer is actually the only proper way to handle Lego as an adult :wink:

Anyway, nice little vignette. In my home region (Harz mountains) we have caves with lots of cavebear skeletons in them and on display. As a kid I was always very scared of them!

Haha, it's a first for me but maybe not the last time :laugh:  I've been to Harz (Goslar/Wernigerode) a couple of times and I absolutely love it! I've never seen those skeletons though, but it's the sort of place where you'd expect to see a bear for sure! :classic:

Cool, I still consider Wernigerode my hometown (although work took me somewhere else)! As for the caves, you'll find them here and here and and in them you can find this:

Wow! That is both spectacularly awesome and quite scary (I guess they often go hand-in-hand) *oh2* Yes sir! For my next visit, I will have to consult you for sightseeing locations :wink:
