Legopard Posted June 27, 2012 Hey With my first MOC here on Eurobricks i want to present you my Acklay. To present Obi-Wans opponent worthily i build a small part of the Arena of Justice for the background: For his scale the Acklay is high detailed: More photos and close-ups on MOCpages All pictures plus the amazing Acklaysound are visible and hearable in this .I'm also on flickr and Brickshelf . Comments are welcome . 'pard Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brickdoctor Posted June 27, 2012 Welcome to EB, Legopard! I love how your Acklay uses a lot of the simpler, more traditional ways of using hinges and plates, but you also mix in some more complicated bits in all the right places to sculpt this creature in a way that just looks right for a LEGO model. Really nice work attaching those teeth, too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Masked Builder Posted June 27, 2012 This is great! The Acklay has always been my faavorite beast, and you've done him justice. Excellent detail for the scale. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Man Posted June 28, 2012 Though the focus is obviously on the Aklay here, I did think that the whole scene, especialy the second pic, was incredibly like the film. As for the Aklay it's self, it looks very like the animal creator sets from TLG . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JackJonespaw Posted June 28, 2012 Whoa! This is fantastic! I love the detailing on the Acklay and the arena wall in the background. It's an instantly recognizable scene, and I love how you've pulled it off! Great job! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dalekcann Posted June 29, 2012 That Acklay is fantastic!! But for the arena, what made you consider the dark orange over the more typical tan? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DFOL Posted June 29, 2012 I really like how you managed to capture the essence of the Acklay so well in minifigure scale, without making the build overly complicated. I think your version of the Acklay wouldn't look out of place as an official LEGO Creator set at all. The same can be said of the background. Not overly complicated, but it does the job well so it works for me. The dark orange may be an unusual choice, but in my opinion using that color as a background really makes the Acklay stand out in the pictures. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brickdoctor Posted June 29, 2012 That Acklay is fantastic!! But for the arena, what made you consider the dark orange over the more typical tan? Dark Orange is actually pretty close to the color of the 'real' thing. I think the presence of the bright green acklay in this scene just makes it look a little redder than it really is.
