WesternOutlaw Posted September 16, 2006 Posted September 16, 2006 I came across an "Enter the Land of the Tragon" Brickshelf Gallery today. A rather neat MOC depicting an Asian Dragon Train (the best that I've seen), and the surrounding area. Very interesting MOC that fits in very nicely with the Ninja Theme: The whole gallery: Land of the Tragon - by Megan Rothrock Quote
Athos Posted September 18, 2006 Posted September 18, 2006 Wow, that's quite the psychadelic train there. X-D Steve Quote
WesternOutlaw Posted September 18, 2006 Author Posted September 18, 2006 I have to say that I like the choice in colors. It really adds to the Asian look of the dragon. Quote
Berry Syedow Posted September 18, 2006 Posted September 18, 2006 I have to say that I like the choice in colors. It really adds to the Asian look of the dragon. Glancing at the MOC I get a Mayan vibe. Something about it doesn't stimulate the thought of Asian culture. (Aside from the presence of dragon myths.) Look at the pattern on the lime half-rounds for instance. To me they represent the Mayan Temples. The colors are very organic, (lots of greens, blues, and yellows) which are a contributing factor to its misguided cultural representation. Then again, I did just see a preview of Apacalypto, so that may have influenced my subconscious. :-P Did artistic renditions of Asian Dragons ever escalate to this degree of colorful vibrancy? Quote
WesternOutlaw Posted September 18, 2006 Author Posted September 18, 2006 Did artistic renditions of Asian Dragons ever escalate to this degree of colorful vibrancy? I always thought so. But then again, I envision a lot of red, green, and black Quote

But then again, I envision a lot of red, green, and black I concur. That's almost exclusively how I envision historical Asian Culture. One would surmise that TLC agrees, based off of their latest oriental line. (AKA Orient Express) Heck, they aren't exactly renowned for historical accuracy either. Quote
Norro Posted September 18, 2006 Posted September 18, 2006 I saw this on Lugnet a while ago. I like the way it illustrates just how varied Lego MOCs can be... God Bless, Nathan Quote
WesternOutlaw Posted September 19, 2006 Author Posted September 19, 2006 I really like the choice of colors. It does show that MOCs aren't limited to the more common colors. I give it a 10 for originality. Quote
dillthepill Posted September 19, 2006 Posted September 19, 2006 That is cool! *y* *y* I stand amazed as I look at it. 8- Quote
WesternOutlaw Posted September 20, 2006 Author Posted September 20, 2006 They're Scooby Doo colors. Kinda retro. Quote
bruce n h Posted September 20, 2006 Posted September 20, 2006 Hey, Megan posts on Lugnet and Classic-Castle (and others?). Check out her gallery. She has a really great feel for using bright colors and unexpected parts to make fun MOCs. IIRC, her boyfriend (fiance? spouse?) is Mark Stafford, so between them they make one of the coolest MOCcing couples around. Bruce Quote
Brick Miner Posted September 20, 2006 Posted September 20, 2006 They're Scooby Doo colors. Kinda retro.it looks like the Mystery Machine :-D Quote
WesternOutlaw Posted September 20, 2006 Author Posted September 20, 2006 If I had the colors, that would be a neat MOC. I'd drive it in to Ghost Town :-D Quote
oo7 Posted September 23, 2006 Posted September 23, 2006 What are those rounded turquois bricks on the top? Quote
EXO-CHAMP Posted September 23, 2006 Posted September 23, 2006 Amazing MOC. I almost didn't notice the rails the first time. :-P Quote
WesternOutlaw Posted September 24, 2006 Author Posted September 24, 2006 Me either. I think the designer must have spent a lot of time building this. The detail is excellent. Quote
