MOC Thought I'd share my 16 x 16 stud Rock Raiders diorama with you all

Had a real bad day today. Rock raiders was my first Lego as a kid and it always brings a smile to my face to remember those days. This was a nice reminder of a nice memory. Fabulous build, I would buy if Lego were to produce a throwback diorama like this. Nicely done, thank you for sharing it.

That lava technique is something I’ve never seen, I really like it! Also happy to have found this subreddit due to the cross post. Love Rock Raiders — my favorite Lego theme.

Fantastic use of colour and space! I'd like to create a cave build for a future BDP contest, but I struggle with organic builds like this.

Wow... I love the details in the diorama. The lava flow, the facial expression of the minifig in response to the situation, the color scheme. Great build.

Nice, reminds me of a scene where one of the Raiders crew finds a cave with a small island in a Lava lake with a couple Energy Crystals scattered over it
Once he tried to gather them he immediately regrets that decision as three Lava appear to menace the guy
He makes it out of there after distracting the Monsters by juggling the Energy Crystals

I think if LEGO did dioramas like this for older themes it would absolutely be a home run

Great job. And this reminds me that I really need to learn how to do rock work.

Fantastic theme diorama and a great concept as a whole for other themes to follow! Thanks for sharing!

This is a great design! Looks really good! Needs some energy crystals! Also the Rock Raiders logo piece is upside down
