The FAKE Visualizing Zalanthas Thread

[James de Monet]

It's not that I've been bored lately.  It's that I start weird projects all the time.  I just rarely finish them.  For some reason, lately, the Arm ones have been getting finished.

This didn't seem like it belonged in the REAL Visualizing Zalanthas Thread, so I made a fake one.  Click to go to imgur, then click again to see them full size.  (I moved these to imgur at the update.)








By way of explanation, someone told me you could buy individual Lego pieces on their website.  And then I found that if you go on eBay, you can buy super specific faces.  I may have gone a little overboard.    


Update 9/17/15:

I was going to put these images into a back-of-the-box collage, but they got intricate enough that I thought they deserved their own boxes.  First two!  (Click, then click again to see full size.)








Update 9/26/15:

Second two!  (Click, then click again to see full size.)

Another Nekrete, Another Shit Horror.

I love it!

[LauraMars]

The Zalanthan Math Primer and now this?  This is incredible, and so accurate!  You might even say...it's right on the monet.

[Scarecrow]

Love it. Makes me want to go buy medieval lego! 

[perfecto]

The faces are priceless!  I especialy like the byner who's walking off on his own, about to get eatten by the raptor!  Nice touch...

The Zalanthan Math Primer and now this?

Yeah, the sad thing is, that's not the half of it. You should see all the other half-finished Armageddon projects I have. It's actually just coincidence that they're all nearing completion now. Some of them I started months ago. Some years.

This is incredible, and so accurate!  You might even say...it's right on the monet.

Ow. That is so punny it hurts. Still sigging it. 

The faces are priceless!

Yeah, in the end it was the faces that made me want to finish it. Legos got way more expressive!

I wish there was a way to rec posts/threads on the forum.

Good work sir.

[HavokBlue]

This is the best thing ever.

[Ben Arie]

I love this, the mounts and weapons look authentic to Arm, and the faces are genuinely expressive! Job well done! 

[Booya]

Will you put it in Original Submissions? This should never be lost!

[Nyr]

Mother...of...God.

I laughed!

[Barsook]

Awesome!

[Kassindra]

LOL I sat at work laughing my butt off. Man that is so freaking accurate. *laughs some more* Amazing!

[brytta.leofa]

Holy monkeys, that's glorious.

[hyzhenhok]

A trooper riding on a contract on an erdlu!? Unrealistic! Boo, hiss!

It's awesome.

[Marauder Moe]

I am inspired beyond words.

[Barzalene]

So neat!

[greasygemo]

lolololololo

Yes. Yes can we please keep doing this like its a cracked photoplasty?!?

IF ZALANTHAS SPILLED OVER INTO THE REAL WORD
or
TOYS INSPIRED BY ZALANTHAS
or
IF ZALANTHAS HAD MAJOR MERCHANDISING CONTRACTS

*goes to warm up photoshop*

[James de Monet]

I'm glad you guys like it!

(And I'm especially glad it didn't end up being only funny in my head!  )

[X-D]

I like the war beetle.

[Potaje]

I like the fine print too.

And the erlu.

And no byner is complete with out a bottle of booze, an I see they have one.

Brilliant, I applaud you.

[Bushranger]

I thought that was a green glow crystal that the raptor dinner was carrying?

[catchall]

This is just really amazing.

[TheBadSeed]

Dude, Seriously, that's the best waste of cash on Legos I've ever seen. And I've seen a lot of cash wasted on Legos.
