[MOC] Mini Dojo

Post by legitimatealex » Thu Oct 14, 2010 8:53 am

After an unlucky string of getting Karate Master figurines from my Series 2 bags (I have 6 or 7 of them) the logical thing to do was to build a scene for a gym like/dojo place.

My scene features a sparring match between an outsider from this dojo who looks oddly like Bruce Lee.

Image

The students of this dojo watch on with confidence as their chosen fighter goes against this challenger.

Image

But this fighter is not so confident that he can defeat this opponent.

Image

Of course not everyone is so interested in the fight, more intent on breaking boards for fun.

Image

All the while some cannot tear their eyes away from the duel.

HAHA, sweet little vignette! I would vary the heads, though, they all look the same even though the hair is different.

Also, if you used a 1x1 brick w/stud on the side (not a headlight brick, with the offset, but the full brick w/stud) and used a 1x1 tile with clip on top, you could vary the angle of the swords making them both arch the same way - right now they're both pointing downwards because of the arch of the sword - using the brick and clip you could rotate them to a parallel position.

And I see I'm not the only one with a lot of Karate Master CMFs. :lol: Very nice, I saw this on the Lego Flickr group earlier today.

Good idea, I'll keep that in mind.

Yeah, LEGO sent me quite a few of them and I misread a bar code or two wrong. There's no complaints here though. You work with what you have. I've got a lot Karate minifigures so I should do something with them :D

Cool creation. Reminds me of a scene from a Bruce Lee movie.

I have something along the lines of 16 or 18 minifigure statues. I was thinking about doing an Academy Awards type scene with them, using the figures as little Oscars.
