Time Twisters Entry: Set 8970 "Robo Attack"

Post by ChrisZ »

Hey everyone! New to the board, as well as new to building with LEGOs after a long time. I started following Brothers-Brick.com, and found out about this contest, so decided to submit. Anyways, here's my go at a Medieval take on set 8970 "Robo Attack":

You can find a bigger image of it my Flickr site: http://www.flickr.com/photos/lego_chrisz/4388214585/
I got the inspiration for the barrel-rolls from Flickr User "TooMuchCaffeine".

Thanks for looking!

Wow, what a great way to begin your time here on Classic-Castle.com! I can't think of a better was to build that set, you really nailed all the details and the fig posing is wonderful. I would love to see some of your other work as well.

This cracked me up! Not only an great build but the presentation is spot on. I love how you set it up to exactly mimic the box art. Hope you do well in the contest!

Oh, this is fantastic. The canopy, or lack thereof, stood out to me for some reason.
Good luck.
