Thanks to Stephen King’s Dark Tower series, I got it in my mind to build a post-apocalyptic theme that was basically dioramas of wrecked, destroyed, or nonfunctioning equipment, as is found frequently in the book series.

I dubbed the theme Dust to Dust, to represent nature taking back the machines of war.

The first creation in this theme is called Forest Sentinel.

(...) fresh and shiny to have been lying there as a wreck for hundreds of years. But a rusty look is not so easy with Lego... Great landscaping too. (19 years ago, 28-Feb-06, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build.mecha)

		Re: New theme and new creation: Forest Sentinel
(...) Hi Adrian, fantastic idea. This is one of the dioramas I would love to build one day. The details are great. I do agree with Anders that as hard as it is to emulate dirt and rust with Lego a few well placed orange, red, and brown parts, close (...)

		Re: New theme and new creation: Forest Sentinel
(...) Well... this is really something new! :-) The diorama has almost a sublime quality to it. I think you could have pushed that even further by making the landscape more rugged and desolate. Nevertheless, the serene setting you created is (...) (19 years ago, 28-Feb-06, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

		Re: New theme and new creation: Forest Sentinel
I was wondering what became of the head, until I discovered the pic of it half submerged in the stream. :-) It was fun exploring this diorama. The vegetation is great, as well as the terrain contours and how the mecha was posed,"laid to rest". I (...) (19 years ago, 28-Feb-06, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

		Re: New theme and new creation: Forest Sentinel
(...) maybe you could come up with some sort of ultra-repellant armour story to cover that. I love the techno/nature juxtaposition. I'm so envious - I'm really going to have to try something like this myself. mo. (19 years ago, 28-Feb-06, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build.mecha)

		Re: New theme and new creation: Forest Sentinel
(...) I am simply blown away. I'd be the first to admit I a craggy jaded cynical old builder. I'm not too phazed by much, but this is just awesome. Wonderfully presented. (19 years ago, 28-Feb-06, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

(...) Very "Orguss 0.2". I like the idea, alot. Imagine one found at an excavation site or dredged up out of the oceans depths. Pat Bunn (19 years ago, 28-Feb-06, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

(...) Thats really impressive Adrian. You do really good work. Steve (19 years ago, 3-Mar-06, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

		Re: New theme and new creation: Forest Sentinel
Hello Adrian, I'm a fan of The Dark Tower too. You did an exciting MOC. Nothing more to say that hasn't been pointed out by others already. Still I wanted to give you feedback, as I've been watching the pictures for quite a while. Like to see more (...) (19 years ago, 10-Mar-06, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

		Re: New theme and new creation: Forest Sentinel
(...) Very cool model and concept. It's sorta sad to see such a posable mech laying down. You're pair of cardinals look VERY familiar. ;) Aaron (19 years ago, 29-Mar-06, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)
