Dead Or Alive, You're Coming With Me

/

RoboCop was one of those movies that came out of left field for me. These were pre-internet days (yeah, I'm old) and I had not heard a thing about it. A buddy of mine found out about a screening in Santa Barbara so we headed down. Needless to say we were blown away. It's an awesome movie and this is an awesome MOC. Murphy is pretty much perfectly captured here by Marin Stipkovic.

Landing Pad

I love a MOC that keeps me looking, and this sweet MOC by MeGustaKapusta is a great example of that. The first thing you notice of course is the cool ship and landing pad. But then your eyes wander and you spot the interesting color uses, the otherworldly plant life, the cool little robot/creature thing down below. You just keep looking and spotting new things. All this lovely detail, and the engines light up, splendid.

He Was Built By WHO?!

/

As you all know, I'm not much of a prequel fan. They all have a few moments, but overall I kind of pretend they didn't happen. This is a good example why. C-3PO was built by Anakin!?!? WTF? I know a very large percentage of films require both the suspension of disbelief as well as the acceptance of a coincidence, but come on! That being said, this MOC by Omar + kamitera is quite cool.

TV Repair

It actually doesn't seem all that long ago that this was a thing. Sure everyone had a TV, but they were built to last and when something did go wrong, you called a guy or took it to a place. Now TVs are practically disposable. Of course they also look WAY better, cost way less and weigh nearly nothing. This MOC by LegoJalex pretty much sums up the fate of the TV repair shop.

Siege Of The Royal Castle

/

I find medieval warfare fascinating. Can you imagine what it was like to wrap your body in a metal suit and storm a giant building made of rock? Just to have arrows fired at you, boiling oil dropped on you or have another guy in a metal suit come at you with a ginormous sword? I'd be dead in moments I'm sure. Builders like Disco86 help us imagine what it was like with stellar builds like this. A little snapshot of time, of a larger place and larger battle. See that guy falling off the wall? That's me.

The 2nd Battle Of Devil's Pass

/

This battle scene by Mark of Falworth is an awesome MOC. I think people fall into a bit of a trap with large builds by making them too symmetrical, and therefore somewhat uninteresting. But look at the shape of this one, by making one cliff side longer than the other, and making the edges undulate, it has interest and dynamics in just the terrain alone. Throw in a few dozen soldiers about to get busy and you have all the makings of epic.

The Three Finger Salute

I made the switch to Mac a little over two years ago, and I haven't regretted it for a minute. I certainly got used to using these three keys in my many years prior to making the switch. I think imagining them as a troubleshooting strike force like these awesome builds by 74louloute might have made my blood boil a little less rapidly...yeah, probably not.

Dear Spencer,

I am writing to follow up on our conversation yesterday about my insurance claim for the property at 349 Broadway. City services has finally succeeded in shutting off all services and cleanup is continuing. Everyone is accounted for and I'm happy to let you know Mrs Thumperpants' cat Piranha has been found safe and sound. 

I am however very concerned by your apparent disbelief in my descriptions of the events of the 27th of March. I can assure you everything that was described occurred exactly as it happened. I have enclosed a photo if you are still feeling skeptical.

Sincerely,

Thomas Schlepmot
