    LEGO Adventurers: The Mummy's Tomb

    I always loved the Adventurers theme! Sadly, it was before my time. When I saw this contest, I instantly knew that this was a great opportunity to try to make my dreams of owning a Johny Thunder set (or just a MOC) come true.


    Set 5958, "Mummy's Tomb" has everything everything an Adventurers set needs in my opinion: heroes, villains, buildings, traps, and a sweet ride!


    In my take, I wanted to improve the display-ability of the original. I included some modern colors and details. I chose for an architectural style in the spirit of Petra, as if it was a temple in the side of a mountain. I also wanted a more 50's style rat rod in a dark red, to add some color. I reimagined the mummy reveal to pop open the sarcophagus with a technic axle. I used a trans-green window in the rear to give Pharaoh Hotep an eerie glow. I also included a motorcycle to make car chases possible. Due to the 250 part limit, I omitted Dr. Kilroy and the statue trap.


    I hope you enjoy!
