Never seen the movie, but it looks great mpoh. The floor is interesting. I really like the candles and the stairs illusion.

[Yzalirk]

Fantastic MOC and it was a great movie!

[MKJoshA]

I love your candles, your forced perspective stairs, and your floor! This was one of my favorite out of the colab. Great job!

[Gary The Procrastinator]

I absolutely love all these builds, you guys did so well. With this MOC in particular those FP stairs are awesome. Great work Matthew.

[Lady K]

One of my favorite movies! An outstanding build representing it! Love the stairs and the candles. The floor is superb.

[K-Nut]

Such a great movie, and this creation reflects the scene perfectly. I absolutely love that stair technique you used, too, along with the SNOT area and the tiling on the floor.

[kevkipo]

That illusion! :O i really tought the stair was there, amazing work!

[Balthazar]

Amazing work!

I like the candles and stairs effect. Simple but awesome floor technique!

[gedren_y]

Mandy Patinkin was so good in that film that I didn't recognize him later in Dead Like Me and Criminal Minds. He did all his own swordwork for the film. Wonderful depiction.

[rodiziorobs]

I hadn't noticed that the stairs were forced perspective until reading the comments; now I've gone back drooling over that and all the other great details here, very well done!

[Ardelon]

Just saw the movie today (so I put off comenting until I had seen it) - all the vignettes are fantastic! I admire your candles+candlesticks, and of course, your forced perspective stairs are brilliant! Kudos to you and your fellow collaborators.

[mpoh98]

Thank you everyone! Glad you like my part of our collaboration! :)

My name is Indigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die. Errr, I mean awesome build. The details, the figures and their poses, the structure, and those stairs are amongst the most innovative, creative things I've seen done with LEGO in a long time!

[AmperZand]

...your forced perspective stairs

I do not think it means what you think it means. The stairs are an an example of a trompe-l'oeil, not forced perspective.

But I agree that the illusion is very clever as is the rest of the MOC. Great job!

when looking at this the first time, i didnt quite get, what was going on with these stairs =D

really like the amount of detail and moreover the floor / wall texture !

[mccoyed]

Amazing build. Love this movie. Great candles and stairs, never seen those techniques. The bonfire also looks better than most similar attempts I've seen!

[rodiziorobs]

Inconceivable!

Learned something new, just now.

[UsernameMDM]

Never seen the movie,

Go stand in the corner and cry. Shame on you.

[TheLegoDr]

Easily my favorite movie. And this MOC is fitting.

The stair effect is neat. I hadn't noticed it wasn't real stairs until I looked at it again.

The candles are really neat. I didn't know those pieces came in that color.

The flooring is neat. I haven't seen that effect in a while.

Good work.

[Maxim I]

That staircase illusion is absolutely amazing!!! Great Moc Mpoh!

[Gunman]

Such a beautiful moc mate... But that staircase is poor win

[Dewey Cheatum 1011 Western]
