D2C Contest: Garmadons Ultimate Dark Fortress

[lisqr]

Lord Garmadon's new and upgraded fortress

Any good action sets need some action and a "Damsel in distress"

And a smaller opposition: The Ice Dragon DX

Back of the castle

And of course the ultimate action feature, transformation into a castle-tank

Comparison with the original fortress

Thanks for looking.

WOW! This is really amazing. I also like the play feature.

But the one thing that catches my eye is that there is no entrance. Where is it?

And of course the ultimate action feature, transformation into a castle-tank

...only in Ninjago...

[Tazmaniac]

That looks great very dark and the play feature fits the theme very well

is there any interior ?

Good luck.

Entrance is for the weak, ninja's don't need entrance

No interior. The interior is all used up for the transformation mechanism. But the top floor can come off.

Excellent entry lisqr! This castle-tank really looks menacing. I love the idea of the tank transformation, I think it fits the highly-playable nature of NinjaGo sets, though I just don't see this as a potential set. Don't get me wrong, this is a great-looking MOC as it is, not just a likely candidate to become a set due to the high piece count and un-colorfulness that is not characteristic of NinjaGo.

[Oky]

Very cool, very creative. Certainly didn't see that coming. But it's kinda lame that it doesn't have an interior. I mean, who would pay like 250 bucks for a giant fortress if you can't play inside of it? Would be cool if the mouth of the demonic skull at the front would open up to reveal the entrance. Also, the whole thing look a little plain, especially the base. I'd put some vegetation or rocks or bones or something on those plates. And the fortress needs some purple if you have any. And I have to agree with KDM that this doesn't seem like a set. It's too big and has too few play features as I already said.

I like your upgraded ice dragon though. Any more pics of him?

Excellent entry, lisqr! It looks really good, and, as others have said before me, it's fantastic play feature fits perfectly with the wacky theme of NinjaGO. The only problem is that its a bit plain. If you added flames, bones and a bit kf colour it would lok better. And i know most of the inside is taken up by the play feature, but you could furnish the top floor with various things. Furniture made from bones would be really interesting, and would fit in with Lord Garmadon and his army. Well done, and good luck in the contest!

Veery nice, the dragon is cool if that is part of the set. Very Japanese-looking building there, but I would much rather buy it if there was an interior instead of it being a tank. Shame that it has no entrance, you can't really call it a fortress. The building itself could use some detail.

But apart from that it is a great entry and should do well.

[Fuzzylegobricks]

Wow! I love the details, the entrance is everywhere for a ninja .

[Gabe]

Very imposing, i love the idea of a tank-fortress, fits in very well with Ninjago! Be good to see some more ornamentation on it though, and it's a bit sad that there is no interior.

[gogocar]

Nice yob there.

Castle-tank, very funny

[squidman85]

That's very cool.Those masks looks a like demons or Onis,and i like the idea with canon.It's amazing moc,but can't be a set.Dragon is also cool.

P.S.I don't no why,but the fortress reminds me of MK.

[Wout]

Very nice building.
