Skalldyr Posted June 28, 2010 Hi all, when I first saw the new prince of Persia sets....I only had that on thought.........Lawrence of Arabia! During the war, Lawrence fought with Arab irregular troops under the command of Emir Faisal, a son of Sherif Hussein of Mecca, in extended guerrilla operations against the armed forces of the Ottoman Empire. He persuaded the Arabs not to make a frontal assault on the Ottoman stronghold in Medina but allowed the Turkish army to tie up troops in the city garrison. The Arabs were then free to direct most of their attention to the Turks' weak point, the Hejaz railway that supplied the garrison. This vastly expanded the battlefield and tied up even more Ottoman troops, who were then forced to protect the railway and repair the constant damage. -> Wikipedia Credits for the Train: truedimensions Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cardinal Brick Posted June 28, 2010 That's excellent, when I first saw the PoP sets I had exactly the same thought. I'd been waiting for someone to make a brickfilm like the trailer but I might have to do it myself. I love the diorama to be honest I can't see a way to improve it, hope to see some more in the future. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
legitimatealex Posted June 28, 2010 See when I first saw the Prince of Persia sets I immediately thought "Oh my god, Ostriches." I see some of us are a bit more refined than that. It truly is a great movie, an awesome film epic that for some reason I cannot find too many people who have actually seen it beginning to end. I like what you have done here and the train in the back is particularly great. It really adds a nice sense of depth and dimension, The only problem I have with this is the tan baseplate on the tan map. Perhaps a darker background would make the tan bricks on the tan baseplate stand out a bit more. Just my two cents. Greatness from a great movie. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Haha the Ostrichs, true, are great! and yes I'm also not very pleased with the color, but it was a 1-Day Project..I drawn some sketches at university and build it after, in the evening I just Photoshoped it a little bit and that's the result!

Note - be an idea for a contest - MOC's of movie theme's Lego has never done ! Indeed (although Lawrence can also be considered part of the Indiana Jones theme )! My girlfriend is a huge fan of Lawrence (not just the movie, which is her favorite, but of the historical figure in general); I must show her this.
