Featuring Starcraft's installation map. Watchout for hidden traps, quiet rattling noices, slimy goo, and the inevitable Zerg lurking in the corner...
About this creation
Just a quick build before the MocOlympics begins.
Anyway after playing some old school Starcraft, I was inspired to make a small moc featuring a cut-out of the installation. You gotta watchout for those gun traps though, you'll never know when they willl pop out from the floor.

Oh noes! It got Charlie!

I've also been practicing my photography lately, with the thanks to Gimp for cleaning up those small annoying glints of light as well as enhancing the color.
You'll be surprised how much this helps.

The Terran Marine and Hydralisk have been built based off of the first game.

The Marine is mainly based off of Lord Dane's Marine , with a few teaks of mine.


"Wax 'em boys!"
The Marine is the basic unit the Terrans, fighting on the front-lines of the fringe worlds and defending their race from the Protoss and Zerg.
They are equiped with powered suits and C-14 rifles.
To improve their effectiveness and odds of survival, many marines make heavy use of stimpacks.

The notorious and fierce Hydralisk is the most notable of the Zerg. It attacks directly with it's scythe-like arms, and unleashes volleys of armor-piercing spines.
These guys get real nasty whenever Terrans run into them, which usually ends in a complete slaughter.

Too bad there's just not enough of these guys on Mocpages.

If you didn't know, Starcraft is a 1998 science fiction real-time computer game.
It features three races: Terrans (humans), Protoss, and the Zerg.

Hey Stormbringer, you alive? Maybe I should make a group where you can check to see if a new episode has come out.

We're still waiting on a decision from you on my CYOA. If you're too busy or lost interest, I can find someone else to take over your character, but so far you've been a very good player and I'd prefer to keep you in the CYOA. |

Never seen anyone make a guntrap before, nor so well that it appears to have really popped out of the floor. I love how the entire scene looks straight out of that mission, as if all you did was shift from overhead to first-person perspective. And that hydralisk....whew, great use of parts. |

vary nice. when are you going to post the plague. check out my lego creations
With the MocOlympics coming and a crap load of work due to real-life, the Plague is going to wait some more. But it's in the works as I slowly put the scenes together. |

If I had one nitpick, it would be the hydra's eyes, the black eyes in the game made them seem more insect/hive minded, versus the glowing eyes the sequel, and your green eyed version have, making them seem as if they have a mind of there own.
That's the problem I had with the Hydralisk too. Red eyes didn't look good, so I tried lime. But I didn't think of black. If I'll ever make an improved one I will use that. |

Very good work here. The lighting and the overall scene are great. Now, what is Starcraft?
Seriously?? I find it very striking that mostly everyone here doesn't know what it is.
Starcraft is a science fiction real-time strategy game that came out in 1998 for the PC.
(or just look it up on wiki).
Also it's sequel, Starcraft 2, came out last year. |

I've waited the whole day to comment on this one (just came back from work). I've never played Starcraft as a computer game, but I always wanted to buy the boardgame version. Blah blah blah anyway, your MOC is fantastic and the photos very well taken. Good atmosphere. |
