I definitely wanted to enter this contest, because I’m a huge Ninjago fan, I love dragons and LDD was allowed…
My idea for this MOC was to build a little scene, of an epic face-off between a single Ninja and a huge Dragon.
I decided to make the Dragon a Vermillion Dragon, because I always thought the concept of the Vermillion, thousands of snakes forming into something greater, was very creative.
That’s why I decided to build a Dragon in the Vermillion style: A dragon-shaped metal armor filled with thousands of snakes!
I tried to use colors and pieces from the official Vermillion sets to recreate the look of the Vermillion army and I also used CCBS pieces, because they worked great to represent Armor plates.
To fight this Dragon, I included Lloyd and some Ninjago styled scenery in my entry. The scenery includes a little waterfall, a banner and a tree.
I’m so glad that entries are finally showing up! And holy crap, there went any notions I had of entering the mocing category. Also this is probably the best thing to come out of Hands of Time.
Everything is perfect, even that stone is so beautiful, it gives a Japanese look to it, the dragon it’s amazing, I think you’ll be the winner of this contest
You’re gonna win. I downloaded the file and you’ve done some clever and cool things here, I love that the claws are made from the snakes, great concept!
Thanks man, those feet were one of my first ideas, because I liked the idea of snakes spilling out like spagetti^^! Even in my initial concept drawig they look very similar to how they look now
It’s just my first ideas and concepts ( I made this on a train ride^^)
The final MOC looks quite different, but some ideas of this drawing made it into the final MOC
Just wondering what your process is, I find it interesting how different builders go about a project. I also have some builder’s block with my current project.
What I also did for this MOC: I put some of the Vermillion sets on my desk next to me, so if I needed inspiration I saw the original parts used in those sets, so I incorporated those in the MOC. Maybe something similar can help you with your builder’s block
