Description
For many gamers in the 80s and 90s, the opening level of Contra is unforgettable—a high-octane run-and-gun experience with Bill Rizer and Lance Bean dodging bullets, battling enemies, and blasting their way through the jungle. This LEGO diorama is a faithful tribute to the first stage, complete with classic pixelated details transformed into bricks.
From the detailed trees and foliage to the rugged rock formations, every piece has been meticulously placed to capture the essence of Contra’s legendary first level. This model includes:
- Bill & Lance Minifigures – The fearless heroes are fully equipped for battle.
- Ledders & Greeders – Classic enemies brought to LEGO form.
- Jungle Terrain – Featuring layered cliffs, grassy platforms, and a flowing river.
- Mounted Gun – The deadly turret that stood in the player’s way!
Notes
I faced some challenges with minifigure part availability, so certain elements had to be adapted. If you’re building this MOC, be mindful when purchasing parts, as some substitutions may be necessary.
