MOC (My Own Creation) Showcase / Marvel Street Corner Battle- Diorama - Small

« Last post by JesseBeeze on November 01, 2016, 10:44:54 pm »

This was a small build I did to have a space filler for Brickfest LIVE. I figured this would probably be a hit with the kids and it was. The helicopter was an after thought but turned out okay too. All in all a fun little build, but will be disassembled and parted out for future builds.

MOC (My Own Creation) Showcase / Collaborative Star Wars Diorama - Large

« Last post by JesseBeeze on November 01, 2016, 12:56:09 pm »

This is a collaborative project that was constructed by a number of members in our LUG. The project took a great level of planning and cooperation. We had our first completed public showing this past weekend at the Brick Fair NJ Convention.

The original concept for this was to do something different from the norm with Star Wars. Most large scale dioramas you see are usually Hoth, Tatooine, or from the Prequels. While in development, the trailer dropped for Rogue One and we noticed some similarities to what we were envisioning. We intentionally have left the project vague as we are unsure if Rogue One will ultimately look like this or not. Also, we are still discussing the possibility of expanding this further.

Currently the project boasts a 4x5 arrangement of 48x48 Stud base plates, somewhere in the vicinity of 200 minifigs, and several ships. We decided to go with a camouflage scheme for several of the ships just because we thought it would be pretty cool.

MOC (My Own Creation) Showcase / Audrey II - Little Shop of Horrors

« Last post by Joseph Meluso on October 26, 2016, 08:19:02 pm »

Feed me! This plant-based MOC will make its debut in BrickFair NJ 2016 during the weekend before Halloween (or as I like to call it, Halloweekend). This took about 4 hours to build from planning to gathering parts to assembly. Audrey's head was designed from a Hero Factory Invasion from Below cocoon assembly and served as the main inspiration for the model. The checkerboard tile floor is made from "headlight" Erling bricks.
