Deep in the amazon...
About this creation
Inspired by the movie.





I hope you like it, I will work further on this, the swamp, the swamp cruiser and the anaconda.
building process: (more pictures of swampcruiser)
It began with the idea of using a flag as tongue for the monster, the flag kind of implied it should be a reptile kind of creature, my first idea was a seabattle between a giant seasnake and a man in a boat, to make the boat I tried something new for the hulls, those hulls eventually became the monsters' head. I moved the decor from a wild sea to the still waters of the amazon region.
the biggest snake in the world, the Anaconda, ofcourse, it comparison with a minifigure my snake is way too big. that enhances the monster factor I think :)

The snake is nicely built, I really like the design of snake itself (the pattern on the back of a snake), swamp boat is as awesome as the MOC itself.
thanks, I used my favourite colors on the snake (dark red, blue and green) |

If you have them, I'd cover the swamp in dark green. And make mangroves.
good Idea, I have dark green plants but they are used somewhere else for the moment, there's definitely coming a new version of this diorama, that's for sure, thanks |

i m with leda for a bit more swamp effect, but, i think your 'light' background accentuates this, it would nt have been so with darker, as for the boat, i saw the movie [and liked it] so i knew what to expect, and i think you built it with flair! i love it, i like the movement functions of the snake as well, very mobile, and articulate, the kind of builds to do a lot of scenes! great work sebeus!

Thank you everyone, I plan on doing a better version of this diorama, with more overgrown swamp and better effects on the anaconda rising from the water |

Nice job! Funny how I just saw this movie.
you did ? then you might be able to help me out, I can't remember very well how the rear of the boat looked, I just improvised, maybe you know wether it looked similar to the front or different ? |

Well done! Your score = 4 |

I was waiting for Jennifer Lopez to come out of the boat. >> 4 points <<
my first ida was to make a female figgy fight the snake but that didn't combine well with the booze and the gun |

Oops... I should have looked on it more carefully... Anyway, the BOAT could be better (but the use of the ladders is great). |

Erg mooi gemaakt die anaconda maar de boot kan wel wat beter ja! Het doet me erg aan de film denken, genaamd Anaconda. k Weet niet of je die kent?
juist, k'heb de boot gemaakt op basis van die van de film, de anaconda zelf is iets groter uitgevallen :p |

Tongue, slain. This is a good idea, but it's not as imaginary as you would think, there were records of a snake over a metre wide in the Amazon jungles. |
