A post-apocalyptic meat buffet

Some visions of the apocalypse involve dark, war-torn cities, some take place in barren deserts, while others speak of…some kind of Squid Game, somehow. This LEGO diorama by Insomnia Builds features a society of people who live in cabins on the ocean’s surface. At a quick distant glance, we see a collection of neat little cabins and even floating gardens. Aside from needing urgent roof repair, the denizens here seem quite content to live within their floating society. But with water comes scary tentacle monsters and that is precisely what they’re dealing with here. This piece bears the uncanny title of Meat Buffet and the apparently sleep-deprived builder serves up the caption of “I’m sure someone will eat meat today”. The thing is, we’re not sure if he means the people of this watery town or the tentacle monster. From the looks of things, it’ll probably be both!

This closeup illustrates the ruckus the tentacle beast is causing. Plenty of people of this town are fighting the good fight, hacking away with blades and harpoons in hand. However, just in case you’re keeping score, it would seem the monster is making a bit of a Squid Game out of this as well.

I love this close-up image in particular. There is some great detail all around.

This only slightly more peaceful side of the diorama illustrates how life for these folks is when a hideous sea monster is not harshing their mellow. There’s plenty of fish and vegetables to be had and amazing details abound. There are what seem to be parts of an aircraft of a couple of the rooves. Perhaps this is a clue as to why these folks are quite literally living on the water?

You know, yours truly had mangrove swampy idea similar to this one a few years back. If you liked what you have seen here, then be sure to check out more post-apocalyptic visions from other very talented builders.
