I'd have given this MOC a 'Like' for the Title alone. =) Cheers, and nice craftsmanship on the System-work you've done here, m8. Cheers!

This is Lego at its best. Great imagination and crazy humor, plus good technical ideas for those who take a closer look. I love it.

Excellent build!

cool concept! lol!

wow that is epic

Great job!!! What is the floor of the cave made off? Is it lego, or is it paper that you laided the cave out on? Great job, and congrats on a perfect score!!!!!

HAHA that's just brilliant! So many great techniques! I love that every detail is so instantly recognizable :) Lovely work ;)

Awesome,I really like the forced perspectivce on the TV and the yeti is really cool too !

I love the way you made the fur on the legs!

Awesome!

Totally great work! Well done!

Nice!

His fur is perfect! Wonderful details.

Beautiful work, as usual! Very funny too.

LOVE it! Score = 5

Just superb. Funny, well made, brilliant details and getting that expression on the yeti's face - killer stuff.

Beautiful work! The lighting is spot on too.

Love it. Your score = 5

Wow you're really cranking out these 5 star builds fast! Great job all around!

Score = 5

Fabulous!

Excellent work!

Honestly the play on words roped me in, and the build finished me off. Score= 5

Awesome!!! I like the light blue bricks you used for his toes and face.

@paul- its called forced perspective. .....WOW! I like to little hula girl thing in the back round!

now did you photo shop the paradise, or is that accual size?

I love it, great choice for the category and funny take on it :P

Yes the Yeti is a mythICAL creature surrounded with myths and legends but that creature itself shown in a cave watching TV isn't really part of any actual myth. Yes it's hilarious and I REALLY DO love this MOC, but, to me, the Yeti by itself, just doesn't really seem part of any story, myth, or legend. Anyway, it's still hilarious, still an excellant MOC, just not what I personally expected for this category.

Amazing forced perspective on that TV, did you photoshop or print the bricks in the background?

i belive that was a run on =P

MY EYES WENT ALL OVER THE PLACE! I love the HULA DANCER and the T.V. SHOW as well as his drink!!! His FACE and he REMOTE CONTROL as well as the BACKGROUND take this from a MOC to a SUPER-MOC!!!

Pretty awesome!

Lovin' this build too... I really like that all of your builds are including that same piece in azure :)

Excellent build, like always:D

First of all, I am amazed at the personality that you consistently fit in your models. I keep laughing every time I look at the 'Yeti's' expression! The shaping of his body is excellent, as is the simple rock-work in the caves. Despite all these popping details, I find the final effect falls just shy of perfect. BUT, when I zoomed into original size on Flickr, I noticed the straw which brought me up to a 5. Score: BARELY getting by on a 5

Not only is this a great build, but it's hilarious AND it's a great play on words with the title. I just seem to keep tripping over fives here... 5 points ~ Chris.

Great scene, Dude! But there may be some confusion for the kiddies: It's an Abominable Snow Man, not a Wampa. Love the little details, good luck!

awsome build i like the little hula dancer

Fantastic MOC! I looked at you photo about the TV & lighting, but I am still struggling to figure it out. Is the photo of the church/Taj Mahal(?) in the picture of the MOC? Are the tiles that make up the back of the TV set/sky clear or opaque?

Very nice.

Great stuff. The whole scene is mint, but I think his feet are my favourite thing.

Great work!

This is absolutely brilliant. The abominable snowman fantasizing about the tropics. Makes me think of something from Monster's Inc., (says the father in me). The hula girl and the tropical drink are great touches.

A floor would have been nice, but this is still an excellent build. It would have worked very well for forced perspective too.

This is an interesting idea, and well built.

I see you like to use those blue connectors a lot. XD Great job on this whole thing. :)

He's so cute! I think my favorite part is his drink. Great work!

Nothing short of perfect! Fantastic yeti design!

This is back flipping brilliant. First of all it's a great idea, a yeti watching a tropical TV program. The lighting is impressive, with a sunny, warm appearance on the TV, then cold, almost blue looking air in the cave. Amazing job.

clever and good looking MOC!

Thanks...but how does this not fit the category?! "11. Myths and Legends: Build a scene showing a famous myth or legend. IE: Paul Bunyon, Olympus, Headless Horseman, etc." The Yeti is a legendary mythological creature who's existence is surrounded by countless myths and legends. I'd say this suits the category perfectly.

Oh my, this will be one of the all time remembered images from this contest!!! This trully is EPIC! Should earn you a few 5's! :)

Epic!!!

I love the yeti. His round mouth looks makes it look like he is shocked by the screen. The lighting is awesome as well. Amazing job!

Not really fitting in with the category but still a really funny scene.

awesome the creature is excellent and all the small details made it so much better

Simply Brilliant my friend.

Simply Brilliant my friend.

Milton would be rolling in his grave. Brilliant work Tyler!

Truly excellent.... although I find your lack of a base for the model multiple times in a row disturbing..... ;) Just kidding!

oh crud -.- we are doomed O_O

Here is how I set up the shot. http://flickr.com/gp/legohaulic/164c8V

by far my favorite yet! nice work!!

Nope. There was no editing done. The "TV" is set back into the wall allowing me to light it with a desk lamp from above. The rest of the scene remained masked off from the desk lamp so that it could be lit differently.

Very unique! I'm assuming you used editing for this? -LB Senior

Oh, this gave me the laugh I needed today. Love the monster, it all just works so perfectly! - KP
