Beautiful Lake MOC with Forced Perspective

This beautiful MOC with a great use of forced perspective was recently shared by LEGO fan and flick.com user jesse van den Oetelaar a.k.a. Mr_ReaperGod in his photostream. The creation is called "Lake Mareotis, Alexandria" and its full of great architectural deails and vegetation. My favourite part of course is the microscale city and ship in the backround used to create the forced perspective. Be sure to check out the builders photostream for more great MOC's.

Mecha Squid With The Most Organic Looks

Since the very first days of Lego, building animals has been a staple for Lego fans of all ages. Mitsuru Nikaido, a Lego fan from Japan, has been building mecha animals for the past few years. His MOCs are very authentic in that their esthtetics reveal the creator without any room for suspicion. The newest addition to this growing collection of MOCs is a mecha squid. Just like his other MOCs, organic texturing with all the greebling and the always white plating give his mecha animals a truely unique robotic look. At tilesorstuds.com we're always looking forward to mecha animals to follow. Check out the builders photostream for more photos.

Pirate Ship together with Colorful Seafloor Diorama by Stephan Gofers


We don't see pirate MOC's very often as we used to in the past. This beautiful diorama by flickr.com user Stephan Gofers a.k.a. monstrophonic was a really good example of a high qulity pirate MOC. The seafloor flora/fauna was detailed amazingly with many different colors and shapes. The ship itself is also a great piece. My favourite part is the brickbuilt sails.


Colorful seafloor habbitat includes different types of corals, algea and even a jelly fish.


Historic Harbour Scene


This wonderful harbour scene was built by flickr.com user Vaionaut. I like realistic texturing of all surfaces including the the water-surface and the building walls.

LEGO fan and flickr.com user Rocco Buttliere who is known for his great micro-scale architecture-line style MOC's recently shared this amazing micro model of the Golden Gate Bridge, an iconic structure from USA.

Don't forget to check out the builders photo-stream for more photos of this beautiful MOC and his many other great micro-builds.

Klikstyle recenty shared this colorful and beautiful vignette named "Poor Unfortunate Souls" that features the two famous disney characters Ursula and Ariel from the Disney Collectible Minifigure Series. According to the description this MOC was built as  one of five vignettes the builder did for Blocks magazine. I like the design of the floor built with rounded slope pieces making it look like a deep sea sand. The jelly-fish built using a transparent dark pink umbrella piece is also another beautiful highlight of the MOC in my opinion

It is a challenge to build organic structure with LEGO bricks since most of hte LEGO pieces are blocky. Some talented builders manage to create wonderful creations using different building techniques and great part usage. One example for such a nice MOC is this prehistoric sea animal model, Ammonoidea Fictum built by flick.com user Leonid An. The tentacles and the eyes are done greatly bu the shell of the creature is the highlight of the MOC.

Flickr.com user and LEGO fan Joshua Brooks a.k.a. JBIronWorks recently shared this naval military ship MOC in his photo-stream. I like the general shaping of the boot as well as the interior. The boots design looks like the modern coast guard boats but in gray-yellow color scheme instead of orange.  The vegetation on the background also looks interesting especially the tree in the middle looks great.

The interor of the ship is accessible by removing the roof section of the boat. The interior look very clean because of its studless design and it has high play-value as well.

LEGO Model Creator and one of our favorite flickr.com member Arjan Oude Kotte who generally works on LEGO models of real ships, created an entry for ideas. In Brickton Harbour, Harpers Baitshop ready to serve for fishermen. Perfect combination of Dark Red, Reddish Brown and Bley pieces to create a living harbour look. Building technique of the Harpers Baitshop is absolutely different and brilliant. I fall in love with Konajra's creations.

Non-Mediterranean Riviera that we couldn't believed


Every Saturday, I tried to blog new MOCs but nothing to find and check on my archieves to share inspirational creations. I think everyone builds on saturdays to share new MOCs on sunday. But today is not a regular day. LEGO Builder Andrew Tate has recently created a inspiring MOC, I want to live in it now. He told that he created a European Riviera but not from the Mediterranean side. It includes many Mediterranean architecture objects like tower with dome and brick-build walls. I wonder what is the name of this beautiful marina.

Attack of the Sea Monster!

LEGO Fan and flickr member Jonas recently shared this amazing monster attack diorama in his photo stream. The name of this MOC is "Monstrum Maris" and this MOC is built for the Iron Builder challenge against Tim Schwalfenberg. Both sides have built amazing MOC's like Forbidden Fortress, District 9 ExosuitWhat's Cooking? and many more throughout the challenge and they keep building. them. The wave effect done with transparent plate pieces is incredible on this MOC. The monster (Kraken?) is built nicely but the design of the ship makes this diorama perfect.The creator also shared photos of the ship separately as well.
