Jerac Posted August 15, 2020 Posted August 15, 2020 Hello! I am a fan of DOOM games. Since the original released in 1993, up to last-year hit of Doom Eternal. During that time I built plenty of DOOM builds, some I released like the Cacodemon or the Spider Mastermind (...with assorted green crustacean,s because why not). Some were failures I won't show here :D And yet, during all that time, I never tackled the most obvious thing you can build: The Doom Slayer himself. Until now. Let me present you the Doom Slayer himself! This is more a statue than a poseable figure, as I wanted to cover the joints as much as possible. There is some limited movement range here and there, but this was not a priority. Fun fact: The Slayer started in different color - in sand green. This is because on some pre-release renders and images it looked more like sand-green than olive to me: ...and then I took some in-game photos which were also definitely sand green. Except, uh, I made them in blue-tinted room so yeah, olive + blue -> sand green. The effect? I had this much: And then I decided to do a full rework. Was it worth it? I say yes, even though olive parts selection is pretty limited compared to what you have in sand green. What do you think? As usual instructions are available at brickvault.com. Quote
deraven Posted August 15, 2020 Posted August 15, 2020 Very nostalgic - looks great! You've captured it well with nice shaping and have made some good choices with how to include or echo the key details with the available parts. I think the only part I like better in the first version is the cleaner look at the bottom of the chest plate. Quote
Jerac Posted August 15, 2020 Author Posted August 15, 2020 Thanks! As for the chestplate, totally! I miss these 1x2 curved wedges sooooooooooo much. Wonderful little piece. I am happy I was able to do anything with olive (....which for example has no 1x2 tiles ?!?!?!?), but those wedges are so versatile. If those get released in olive I will do a redesign for sure!

ExeSandbox Posted August 15, 2020 Posted August 15, 2020 Excellent build! Looks so bloody cool! His rugged looks translate so well into LEGO form. Really love the use of those reddish brown 4x4 rock wedge/slope pieces beneath the bum though. Quote
LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted August 24, 2020 Posted August 24, 2020 I'm a great fan of Doom saga too! I love this guy and his iconic double barrel shotgun! Quote
Jerac Posted August 25, 2020 Author Posted August 25, 2020 Thanks a lot! :D It was a super fun build and I am glad you like it! Quote
(Luc)ky Luke Posted August 27, 2020 Posted August 27, 2020 Great build, love the accuracy of the figure! Quote
Jerry McGlade Posted September 2, 2020 Posted September 2, 2020 Fantastic construction! Amazing job! Quote
Bricky Joe Posted September 4, 2020 Posted September 4, 2020 Really cool work, on the lighter green build the back-mounted droid looks great too. Quote
