terrymc4677 Posted June 20, 2014 Posted June 20, 2014 For all us old farts out there... this is what came to my mind. Not quite HH, but that one creepy house on a nice suburban street. Next to The Big Lebowski, The Burbs is my second favorite movie. Saw it on my birthday in third grade at the theater. I watch it at least 2-3 times a year. Just showed it to my 8 year old son who loved it as well. Great movie. Sent from my iPhone using Brickpicker Quote
ppsagehen Posted June 20, 2014 Posted June 20, 2014 Use zombie heads on the simpsons+put them in the haunted house like the Simpsons halloween episode. 1 Quote
Darth_Raichu Posted June 20, 2014 Posted June 20, 2014 This is probably too obvious, but the TMNT sets have all sorts of weird minifigs that can pass as monsters for your haunted house display and/or as worthy opponets for the Ghostbusters: Quote
rastascoob Posted June 20, 2014 Posted June 20, 2014 Use zombie heads on the simpsons+put them in the haunted house like the Simpsons halloween episode. You could use the creator tree house for treehouse of horror 1 Quote
TheOrcKing Posted June 21, 2014 Author Posted June 21, 2014 A simple fix depending on how detailed you wish to go with this idea. Get four of the Ringwraith horses, swap out each of the heads on the Ringwraiths with different ones, and you have The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse! Mwahaha! Death should be an evil Ninjago skull, famine the Mouth of Sauron, pestilance can either be the toxic guy from the original Agents or the upcoming Ultra Agents, and War is the Evil Knight or maybe Lord Garmadon or even a Stone Army one. Or go in whatever way you want. It's your display after all. :good: 2 Quote

jaisonline Posted June 21, 2014 Posted June 21, 2014 Good idea. imitation is the greatest form of ... Quote
TheOrcKing Posted June 21, 2014 Author Posted June 21, 2014 While there aren't any building instructions here, you can see some nice brick-built models for Halloween in the first half of this clip. Quote
DirtyZ Posted June 24, 2014 Posted June 24, 2014 I wanted to construct a tree that would look good standing next to my Haunted House for Halloween. Please give me some input if you see areas where I could improve. I may put a few hanging vines on later. Not sure if there is actually a way to link to the 3d model or not. 196 pieces. Here is a screenshot I took. 4 Quote

Here is a screenshot I took. That looks great. Probably better that what I could do. My only suggestion would be to diversify the color of leaves. From your screenshot, it looks like there is too much dark green. Quote
Alpinemaps Posted June 24, 2014 Posted June 24, 2014 Agreed...that looks awesome. I'm wanting to do the same, so, maybe (pretty please?) you might post the LDD so I can use it too? Quote

Search for user DirtyZ123 in the LDD gallery. That looks great. Probably better that what I could do. My only suggestion would be to diversify the color of leaves. From your screenshot, it looks like there is too much dark green. That is one thing I may still do when it comes down to BrickLinking the leaves. However, it looked like Pick a brick was the better deal on those elements. Quote

weakside Posted June 24, 2014 Posted June 24, 2014 Looks very good Dirtyz. Wished I had a picture to attach but I created a MOC tree using pieces from Ewok Attacks and battle packs. I added some light/dark brown pieces to the trunk and some branches so it's not a generic 'brown' totally...trying to show age and natural stages. That's just me, everybody has their style. Also, one of the sets has a hole in the brick so I incorportated that for a natural hallow/cavity look in the tree. My 4yr son asked where are the instructions dad, can I make that too?! Haha. I sorta cringe everytime he plays with and around it since once it's broken up there's no way I can get it back exactly...the moc tree will eventually be part of a park (starting w blank green baseplate) next to my modulars. The balloon/hotdog cart polybag should go nicely with the park scene. Quote
MartinP Posted June 24, 2014 Posted June 24, 2014 Here is more of what I would try and Bricklink: I like that a lot better and it's more colorful. Quote
DirtyZ Posted June 24, 2014 Posted June 24, 2014 Just realized that I should include some sort of baseplate in the final version. 2 of the root pieces have no real connection to the tree, plus it would add to general stability. Quote

That would help. You wouldn't want the tree to fall down while it is being displayed. Quote
nolanfan34 Posted June 24, 2014 Posted June 24, 2014 Wonder if some of the spiderwebs from the Mirkwood Spiders set would be cool. Make it look a little spookier. Quote
Alpinemaps Posted June 24, 2014 Posted June 24, 2014 I like the additional oranges/dark reds on the tree. Makes it much more "fall" like. Quote
