Incredible Western Diorama by Metin Delikurt

 

After retirement of the Lone Ranger theme in 2014, It's a true that a big portion of the AFOL community wish for the return of the western theme from the 90's with a modern take. Meanwhile, talented LEGO MOC builder Metin Delikurt a.k.a. medel_brick shared this incredible western diorama in his instagram account. The diorama consist of many great buldings with full interiors as well as a pretty great terrain work. Each of the buildings are so detailed could be considered as a seperate MOC's themselves. My favourite details are windmill and water tower which I think gives the true feel of the era. There are also a lot of small scenes distributed around the diorama like the gold digging operation, native american camp, soldier squad and many more. With all the details, minifigures and tons of animals this diorama looks like a real living western town. Be sure to check out the builders instagram page for more detailed photos of the diorama and other beautiful creations.

BrickHeadz Style Lady Liberty by Michael Jasper

As a fan of the LEGO Brickheadz line I really appreciate high quality custom Brickheadz MOC's. Flickr user and LEGO fan Michael Jasper shared this awesome Lady Liberty MOC in his photostream. The attention to the detail is really great and I especially like the perfectly usage of two different grill pieces. Addition of the 2x1 printed tile piece that comes with the Lady Liberty minifigure from the Collectible minifigure series 6 is also a good touch.

This amazing diorama depicting the Battle of Trenton (1776) was created as a collaborative build as part of HistoryLUG's larger America 1776 display for Brickfair Virginia. According to the description the terrain, fig posing and the dark red brick house are contributions of flickr.com user Gary Brooks a.k.a. Gary^The^Procrastinator who has shared the photos of the diorama; Ryan Keeth built that bluish gray colonial house in the middle, and the other two houses were built by Joshua Brooks. Charlie Nienaber was good enough to create some Hessians and his figs are coming forward in front of the house on the right. The diorama is really impressive with historically accurate building and custom figures.
