Beat: First of all I would like to thank you for the opportunity to share some of my thoughts with other LEGO fans out there. Rather than being a top MOC'er, I consider myself to be an avid scale modeller. My name is Beat Felber and I live in the northernmost part of Switzerland, close to the border with Germany. I am aged 40 and work as an engineer at an electric power plant.When not building LEGO models, I tinker with and drive a 1984 Land Rover 110, do some photography and I am also a firefighter with the local volunteer fire department. Back in 2001 I decided to share my LEGO creations with other like-minded people on the internet. It was the birth of my homepage www.engineeringwithabs.ch. I called this site Engineering with ABS because I thought it describes what I am doing: building models of technical stuff using LEGO bricks made of Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS). In the meantime, I switched over to Flickr. The original homepage is still online but not maintained any more.

K: Do you remember the day when you got your first LEGO set? Which set was it? And How old were you when you started playing with LEGO bricks?

B: The first sets must have been Duplo sets. Of course, I don’t remember them exactly any more. But I do have fond memories of my very first Technic Set: Technic Universal Building Set 8030. I got it as a gift from my late granddad when he was celebrating his 60th birthday. I just turned four years old that day! My first City set was the Shell ServiceStation 377.

LEGO fan and flick.com user spaceruner shared this huge robot-shaped mobile-base MOC, namely RX1 Behemoth, in his photo-stream. Any old-enough LEGO fan instantly recognize the shape of the iconic 6949-1: Robo-Guardian from Space sub- theme Spyrius. The proportions and the colors match the original set very much but it is very much bigger in size. from the creativity standpoint the MOC is very impressive as well. The robot has a fully decorated interior.

Some MOC's looks so great that you could think that it is not made of bricks. Nautilus is one of those MOC's LEGO fan and flickr.com user Alexander Safarik a.k.a. Malydilnar recently shared this amazing and huge spaceship in his photo-stream. The shaping of the ship, especially the engine  and the bridge sections are amazing.  The angles on the outer shell and the numerous details around the ship makes the creation really exceptional. The builder have built other impressive ships before but Nautilus is the largest one with a length of 220 studs. You can check out this photo to understand how large this ship truly is.

LEGO Fan and LEGO Certified Professional Ryan McNaught (aka brickman) created a MOC named Trojan Horse which has a huge horse model looking like LEGO's very own old molded horse. Ryan is a well-talented Professional builder who is not a employee of The LEGO Group but officially recognized by the LEGO Group as trusted business partner. This huge Troy diaroma took 53 hours to finish by using approximately 9500 pieces. MOC is not teach us so many new techniques but it is looking very impressive and fully detailed.

Very well known MOC'er of flickr, Mark of Falworth has recently shared his MOC for CCC14 contest. Clarendon Castle is a huge creation which includes so many rock patterns, waterfall techniques, a huge castle, different type of trees and a small cottage. It is approximately 122cm wide by 152cm long. 

Mark spend four months to create this awesome MOC and it will be exhibited in Brickfair Alabama 2017 and Brickfest Atlanta 2017.

Talented builder and flickr.com user LEGO 7 who was previously blogged here multiple times with his incredible creations like the Orgrim Doomhammer, Space Hot Dog Chef and many others shared this incredible and realistic airport in his photo-stream. The airport has a look of modern airports with two jet bridges. Check out the close-up photos in the album for more details.

This huge historical diorama, namely England 793 was built by the Brick to the Past team and shared by the team member and flickr.com user Dan Harris a.k.a. Macsen Wledig. The size of the diorama is really impressive. According to the description this creation was built on 115 48x48 baseplates. Check out this photo to understand how large it really is.  The terrain as built beautifully and looks really natural.  The buildings and ships are also built greatly using different building techniques. One of the most unique ones is the shack roof built with minifigure hands. Check out the flickr.com group for more detail photos.

We have shared lots of spaceships in this blog until now and this one is absolutely one of the best ones. Flickr.com user and LEGO fan Pico van Grootveld a.k.a. Brixnspace who is known for his great Sci-fi MOC's recently built and shared this beautiful space ship for this years SHIPtember. You can see the building process photos of this great MOC in the photo-steam of the builder. The color combination, custom stickers, and the shaping of the MOC are truly impressive alltogether. Check out this photo to see how big it is. The builder also created purist custom crew minifigures for his MOC.

LEGO fan and flickr.com user Chris Maddison a.k.a. cmaddison shared this impressive huge brick-built model of the iconic star fighter Viper Mark II from the popular Sci-fi TV series Battlestar Galactica. According to the description this model is 104 studs long and has a weight of 23 lbs. The shaping of the hull and the engines are really great and the color blocking was done nicely. Using a Nexo-power piece on the side is a small nice detail too.

This amazing movie accurate and huge Imperial Star Destroyer from Star Wars was recently shared one of our guest of honors OliveSeon a.k.a. hobbyinside crew. The size of this creation is enormous. According to the description it is 2,2 m in length and weights about 50 kg. Almost all of the esterior is covered with details and tile pieces which makes it look like a movie prop.

LEGO Artist and flickr.com user Dirk VH a.k.a. dm_meister who is known for incredible and huge LEGO sculptures like Super Mario Characters shared this swimmer sculpture recently in his photo-stream. According to the description this model was inspired by the summer Olympics in Rio 2016 and contains around 1000 bricks and plates. This model is very unique in my opinion because the main section of the structure was built at an 45 degrees angle which makes it look realistic and alive. Making the water with 2x1 plate pieces was maybe not be the best choice but it does the job.

LEGO MOC'er team hobbyinside (flickr.com username OliveSeon) who are known for their huge dioramas like "Star Wars Trench Run", "LEGO Sandman" and many others shared this amazing diorama of a LEGO themed amusement park with numerous various attractions including multiple roller coasters. The diorama also includes many sections from official LEGO sets like the Ferris Wheel

According to the description this model uses nearly 165,000 LEGO bricks! Check out this photo to understand how large this model is.

At first sight I didn't believe myself that this sailing ship is made of LEGO bricks myself but this is really made of LEGO bricks and this is fantastic! The creator of this work of art, Hoang H Dang a.k.a. Know Your Pieces wrote in the description of the photo that the curve of the hull was possible due to the tolerances (gaps) between LEGO elements. Actually this boat is really huge and consist around 7000 pieces. Check out this photo to get how large this creation is. With the impressive size and amazing shape this MOC becomes my all time favorite LEGO ship.

LEGO fan and flickr.com user Antonio Cerretti a.k.a. Praetorian- shared this huge and amazing ancient Roman themed MOC in his photo stream last week. There are tons of beautiful details to point out. I really like the colored stripes on the walls and the golden details on the head of the columns. The brickwork on the floor inside the temple is impressive as well. Statues with different poses are also nice and accurate addition. There is also a small army inside the building complex as well. This is absolutely one of the greatest historical building MOC's of the year.

LEGO fan and flickr.com user Ben Pitchford who was also the creator of huge Rivendell MOC in Ideas shared this amazing and giant MOC called "The Samurai Code" in his photo-stream. My favourite section is the small volcano and the stepped waterfalls. Colorful trees are also very beautiful. This MOC features one of the best examples of rock shaping.

There are two castle dioramas are shared by talented LEGO builders in Flickr you don't wanna miss. The first castle was built by the César Soares a.k.a. Cesbrick whose creations like medieval buildings were shared in our blog before. Bluewater  castle is large castle with fine detailed walls and unique and nontraditional wall shaping.

The second castle named Amortug was shared by LEGO fan and Eurobricks member Marco den Besten a.k.a. 'Ecclesiastes who is also known for his great creations of Guilds of Historica. The creator also shared many detail photos from the huge built and as you will see the castle interior is full with amazing details as well. Aside from the impressing side of the diorama what I liked the most is the modelling of the trees beneath the castle. I'm not fond of the water sections filled with different colored 1x1 round plates but other than that this diorama is perfect.
