Scalara T9


Recommended Posts

My entry for Round 1 of Bio-Cup 2018, Theme: Friends/Belville/Scala. Based (very vaguely) on Lego Scala 3130.

At first I really felt shafted with this theme, but then this utterly stupid idea popped into my mind and I rolled with it. The initial concept was a one-set MOC, using only parts found in the official Axalara T9 set to build a baby stroller, but I decided to drop the self-imposed parts restriction and added a bunch of additional stuff. The vehicle seeks to include as many visual design elements of Axalara as possible.

I made the outdoor shots at a nearby playground to fit the theme even more, and luckily the playground was empty at the time. The baby harness was a bonus addition that came to mind because the Rey cloth piece is the same colour and vague shape as the baby harness we actually have and use IRL.

I can just hear Lewa grumbling something about how he didn't even want this kid and yet he still has to watch the little maggot. I also sense heavy symbolism with Stormer being nothing more than a doll and the Toa and his charge being actual people, the vehicular weapon converted into a baby stroller, and the Mctoran build being used for the child and the semi-CCBS build being used for the adult. It's surely not intended, but I'm going to craft an elaborate fan theory about this MOC and you can't stop me.

Rule #1: Always listen to Kek.

Rule #2: If you break rule #1, kindly don't.

Rule #3: EVERYBODY TYPE IN THE CHAT "AVAK IS A STUPID TRIGGER"

I wouldn't even want to stop you, I'm just happy it even *has* a fan to make fan theories about it.

 

Using a HF minifig as a doll/plaything is purposeful symbolism though, you got that right.
