At Emerald City Comicon earlier this month, Josh and I had the pleasure of meeting Steve Snoey, the writer/director of a Kickstarter-funded forthcoming short film America’s Fighting Dinosaur. Turns out Steve is a TBB reader himself, so we talked about just how awesome a LEGO version of “Sammy” could be.
Bruce Lowell (bruceywan) has taken up the challenge, rendering an absolutely wonderful LEGO version inspired by Sammy, alongside the men (and pterodactyl) of the “373rd Reptilian Infantry Squad”:
One of my favorite details that might not be especially obvious in the main photo above is that Bruce’s base for his little diorama is in the shape of a dino footprint:
We hope you like this as much as I do, Steve! Check out lots more pictures on Flickr.
Once again, Bruce shows how it’s done! Epic indeed!
WOW! I have to chime in on this! Everyone here at America’s Fighting Dinosaur are blown away by how amazing this is! Little Sammy has rarely looked so beautiful…. well as beautiful as I dinosaur can be. Well Done!!
This is brilliant, thanks for posting this here. Totally would have missed it. It’s like Dino-Riders in WWII.
There is something undeniably epic about war-dinosaurs, and this is easily the best LEGO model along those lines that I’ve seen.
The T-rex apparently already has Google Glass!
