Two men in a tub (does the monkey count as three?) sailing the high seas. What kind of trouble will they get into? This Lego MOC is called “Shark Attack!” and is created by DarthBricks. Built as an entry into Vignweek, the challenge this time is to create a classic pirate themed vignette. There are some really neat ideas in this scene. The shark fins being created out of Axe heads is great, you can see that they are attached to the base by being wedged into a little lever base. That simple blue base has just enough detail to be recognizable as water. The layer of transparent 1×2 and 1×1 bricks helps. These two pirates look like they might be in danger. They better throw away their fish before they become food.

(21110). That set is famous for making it through the Lego Ideas (CUUSOO) system in record time and then completely selling out in its first week of release. The Research Institute featured a Paleontologist, Astronomer, and Chemist. The Science Adventures focuses on jobs in the great outdoors. Featuring a Biologist, Geologist, and Archaeologist. There are some super awesome details included in these tiny vignettes. Such as a cute and deadly Tiger, an ancient human skeleton buried with its treasure, and a hidden gold vein. These three Minifigures would make a fine addition to a Lego city setup.
