Hinckley Posted August 11, 2008 Naturally, the next step in the progression of my Fabuland madness is this Fabuland Metallica MOC: What's this?? Uh-oh! Looks like one of their roadies didn't realize he was standing in a puddle of water when fixing a live wire! I think I need psychological help Here is the full gallery. Enjoy and please feel free to leave feedback. Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WhiteFang Posted August 11, 2008 Wow! That is what I called a real "Metal Rock"! Looking at your MOC, it seemed that this Fabuland figures are rocking and screaming in front of me with their songs. It looked just like a rock concert. Geez, I need help! They are moving in front of my screen. Great job, Hinckley! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Green Hair Posted August 11, 2008 Wow, i always love these band bignettes. You not only made one of m favourite bands, but that must be the best drumkit i have ever seen! You do not need psychological help, stuf like that happenend constantly during Metallica shows. In the beginning their nickname was Alcoholica, remember the guy standing on the flamethrowing bus?

Lt. Col. Thok Posted August 11, 2008 Very nicely done, Hinckley! All we need now are some Fabuland groupies! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CopMike Posted August 11, 2008 ! I´ve heard about that band, are they any good ? Excellent MOC there Hinckley - that one goes to BW2009! You´ve really nailed the feeling of a band on stage and especially James Hetfield: It´s scary how they resemble eachother! Now like Lt. Col. Thok said, we need groupies - any one comes to mind?

Siegfried Posted August 11, 2008 Your Fabuland MOCs are getting better and better! The roadie is a nice touch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lego12 Posted August 11, 2008 That is really good Hinckley! I never knew that Fabuland was such an amazing theme! I LOVE it! Metallica MOC on! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maiq the liar Posted August 11, 2008 You're making ME wish i had fabuland stuff... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xzanfr Posted August 11, 2008 That really made me chuckle especially as 'nothing else matters' was playing on the radio at the time! I always thought James Hetfield looked like a goat but Lars' resembelance to the bulldog is uncanny!! The only thing I'll suggest is giving James the goat his ESP guitar. Rock ON!

zero1312 Posted August 11, 2008 And Fabuland again. What's next? Lord of the Rings? Star Trek? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hinckley Posted August 12, 2008 Now like Lt. Col. Thok said, we need groupies - any one comes to mind? Yes, of course. Here she is now: The only thing I'll suggest is giving James the goat his ESP guitar.Rock ON! Gary Good point Gary: It's the best I could do... Here's the band again, James with his ESP and the groupie watching: Then the groupie gets a "backstage tour:" And Fabuland again. What's next? Star Trek? Ew, gross, no, of course not. I'm not completely mental. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shadows Posted August 12, 2008 Madness. Pure metal madness. Love the drums, easily my favourite part. The character selection is perfectly suited to the band. The stage is exactly what you'd expect, which means it's just right. Can't really ask for anything more here, though I'm fairly sure they'll sue you for some kind of royalties. I've heard they're like that. Uh-oh! Looks like one of their roadies didn't realize he was standing in a puddle of water when fixing a live wire! I think I need psychological help Metallica alone wasn't quite enough Fabuland Edge, you needed to add electrocution. Nice job! Then the groupie gets a "backstage tour:" Grope-ee. A nice touch. Get it? ... nevermind. She looks so sweet and innocent... for now. A definite winner and a fine example of double-Edge'd Fabuland. Oh, and I'll index this AS SOON AS I CAN.

Jipay Posted August 12, 2008 Purely excellent. How did you do those drum sticks ? One minor improvment would be to work on the left guitar. No idea how though, making lego guitars is a nightmare in general. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hamilton Posted August 12, 2008 i must agree with several of the above posts - you have captured the character and look of the band splendidly!! And i really like the overall stage design and pyro effects a great deal. Awesome MOC!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shadows Posted August 12, 2008 Purely excellent. How did you do those drum sticks ? Uh... those are Fabuland drum sticks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jipay Posted August 12, 2008 Need...one... No wait, two, they're supposed to go by pair What was the use of them in fabuland sets though ? Was there a fabuland drum of some sort ? Opps, after a quicksearch, found it ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dreamweb Posted August 13, 2008 That's crazy... I like it very much. My only complaint is that you might've chosen a better band. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
united brick Posted August 13, 2008 LOL I love it nice drum Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fugglewyg Posted August 13, 2008 Possibly the best fabuland moc so far. The drum kit is real cool as is the roadie and his control desk. Bet they would sound a lot better than the real thing too...... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lt. Col. Thok Posted August 13, 2008 Dang! Great work bringing the groupie idea to life - The backstage tour pun was priceless! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hinckley Posted August 13, 2008 The backstage tour pun was priceless! pun? It's more of a metaphor... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iamded Posted August 14, 2008 My Lord. This is amazing. A truly wonderful job you've done here, Hinckley! I love the drumkit, and the anthropomorphism... um... well, actually I just wanted to use that word. Lets just say the minifigs fit the people perfectly, it's easier that way. So, what band's next? ~Peace Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lt. Col. Thok Posted August 15, 2008 pun? It's more of a metaphor... Pun, metaphor, so what, I made a mistake. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hinckley Posted August 15, 2008 Pun, metaphor, so what, I made a mistake. I was making a joke, actually, and I jumped the punchline. I should've said "Pun? How is that a pun?" like it wasn't meant to have any double meaning and make people thing James the Goat was just showing his roadie around backstage. But then after someone said "It looks like he's doing her..." Then I should've said "Yes, but that's not a pun, it's a metaphor." That's our comedy lesson for the day...

Inertia Posted August 15, 2008 Wow. Great Job with this Hinckley I feel sorry for the poor Raccon Roadie that's being electricuted I love how you've done the guitars and the Drum kit, they look awesome! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
