SerenityInFire Posted August 29, 2013 My favorite thing about this piece is how the siege tower, or mobile fortress rather, is pulled by two triceratops. Using one dinosaur alone as a beast of burden really communicates a sense of heaviness and weight to its load and using two of them only adds to sense of epic scale and the indomitable might of this rolling death machine.

Alfadas Posted August 31, 2013 I like it! Did you get your inspiration for the weels from the weel set? and for the tower from the smaller tower set? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gideon Posted August 31, 2013 Epic siege weapon indeed, impressive scale and well built! The landscape is also excellent However, I can't help but wondering why they put the drawbridge so low...? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Leoman Posted September 1, 2013 thats is epic, how long did it take to you build it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kadabra Posted September 1, 2013 (edited) Spectacular. Now you just need to build an appropriately sized castle for them to attack. That would be mind meltingly amazing, but probably somewhere in between 'far too expensive to be practical' and 'physically impossible'.

Freddy Bricker Posted September 2, 2013 I don't want to jump on the bandwagon here (yes I just said that) but this is incredible. The sheer size is something to marvel, the wheels must be my favorite part, and oh I can't express how much I wish this was an actual set. I would totally buy this, not only does it look good, but it terrorizes the world while doing so. Good luck in the contest. However I don't see why you'd need it.

burlogh Posted September 2, 2013 Thanks for the comments! I like it! Did you get your inspiration for the weels from the weel set? and for the tower from the smaller tower set? I was inpired by 7041 Troll Battle Wheel. I really love that set but every time my little son started to play it ended in parts because the "handle" is too fragile and suspension of the wheels is weak too. And poor trolls always wanted to fall down from the small board :) However, I can't help but wondering why they put the drawbridge so low...? It is on approx. 20 bricks above the ground. The next possible height would be 29 and it was too high. Btw I forgot to take a photo about the drawbridge while it is closed :( thats is epic, how long did it take to you build it? I've started immediately as Mark launched his competition. I only had enough bricks for one side so I made a first version to check the possible design. First WIP photo was taken 29th July. Put some (5 or 6) BL orders to resupply (60 * brackets, 20 * 1*4 bricks stud on sides, 30 * black hinges, 50 * log bricks, 50 * specked blackwing ended bricks, 100 * 1*6 support pillars) then started to rebuild. I noticed the original height was unproportional so rebuilt it again (third time). Meanhwhile started to built the landscape, but ran out of green bricks too. It was the point when I asked some duplo from my little son :) A great guy from a hungarian LEGO community went to the PAB wall and filled a cup with green plates then sent it to me. On 11st August the base was 60% complete and when the bricks arrived I finished it. The last WIP photo was taken on 23rd August but it was very different, the weeping willow wasn't there, there was only one triceratops and some foliage was on other place too. I've finished it on 26th August then I faced with my largets fear: how to take a photo... After 1,5-2 hours of hopeless trying I got the solution. My awesome wife didn't even have complained when I told her the only one background big enough for this MOC is the back of the carpet in our living room, she helped me to move the couch and turn the carpet at the middle of the night: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aeridian Posted September 2, 2013 Man, so many comments I agree with! Absolutely love the mix of dinosaurs, orcs, trolls and wargs. They all make for a very fearsome foe! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
songwm Posted September 3, 2013 Thanks for your experience sharing. Not many people like to talk about their difficulties during MOC, but you don't mind sharing (even the photo taking portion) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The geeky kind Posted December 29, 2013 It is most certainly epic... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
burlogh Posted May 4, 2014 Though I usually disassemble my MOCs after a few days or weeks, the Dreadbringer is still alive. Last month I went to an exhibition with it and built a small diorama. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SRT907 Posted May 5, 2014 Even only the wheels are enough for a standing applause! Also thanks for sharing the "making of..." photos. They are a great source for learning more about photographing the scenes. Great work! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Doctor_ocks Posted May 5, 2014 I love the troll that's using the side of a barn as a shield lol very fitting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
