Aurora Train from Metro Exodus by Hasan Kabalak


We don't blog digital creation very often in this blog but when we do we select the best ones to share with the readers. This wonderful and huge creation is a model train named Aurora from the game Metro Exodus. This MOC was created by talented builder Hasan Kabalak who is also the creator of the great Golf Mk1 GTI model in LEGO Ideas, which was reached the necessary numbers in first stages in Ideas incredibly fast but not selected by LEGO at the final stage. The MOC contains increadible amount of details both in the interior and exterior as well. The MOC also contains lots of the characters from the game. I haven't played the game myself but checking out the game photos from the internet the characters also portrayed in LEGO form as close as they could. I lşke the use of the new Star piece in front section. The builder also made custom rails as the basic LEGO rails are not suitable for a monster train. I also liked the extra details like the containers, boxes, wooden supports etc around the vehicle as well.

Talented LEGO builder and flickr.com user Sven Franic recently shared this awesome seen depicting a funicular railway together with buildings around it from Zagreb, Crotia.

I especially the laundry hanged to dry on the background building. This creation is also motorized as seen in the video shared by the builder.

Who miss the winter?


LEGO Fan and flickr.com member monstrophonic shared his latest MOC about a steam powered train in 1932 showed us a perfect snow splash! There is no need to say snow splash effect is the best thing in that MOC. Building technique of the station's roof is also awesome. Because of all these aspects, Snowspeeder 1932 is deserved to blogged.

This nice MOC of a unique and futuristic transportation device was shared by flickr.com user and LEGO fan Sinan Bitişik. The Levitating Plane-Train is not a fantasy device it is an actual experimental transportation vehicle and the MOC is really accurate to the real version.  I really like the clean look of this design.

This Wasn't Planned!

This amazing historical  train accident MOC was built by LEGO fan and flickr.com user W. Navarre for the MOCathalon on MOCpages, for a category called Wedding Planner. The steam train looks great by himself too but the collapsing bridge makes this MOC outstanding. I especially like the design of the bridge which look very accurate to a histical wooden train bridge and the multi-colored texture of the rock section. Minifigure posing was also done nicely.

Maybe this MOC was not shared recently but it is absolutely a must-see creation. flickr.com user Bangoo H a.k.a Ailur works has shared this great microscale version of the official LEGO sets Maersk Train (10219) and Emerald Night (10194). The shaping of the models are amazingly well for their size and logos are not forgotten on the the Maersk train too. The builder also shared an engine shed for the trains too.

Blacktron Armored Train Rhino by Stephan Niehoff

https://www.flickr.com/photos/stephann001/25238953843/in/dateposted/

LEGO Space fan and flickr.com user Stephan Niehoff recently shared this sci-fi armored train "Rhino" in his photo-stream. The train and the base are built in Blacktron II space theme color-scheme with black, white and transparent neon green. If the M-Tron is my favorite space theme, Blacktron is absolutely the second favorite and I like this MOC very very much. Using the canopy piece backwards on the locomotive is absolutely a great idea giving a unique look to the cockpit.

Tiny Train Diorama by Tim Schwalfenberg

LEGO Fan and flickr.com member Tim Schwalfenberg has recently shared this magnificent little micro-scale train diorama in his photo stream. This small MOC is built for the Iron builder challenge against against Jonas using the metallic silver pin element. I like the usage of different minifigure elements as structural elements. For instance minifigure hair pieces are used as trees and hand pieces are used as structural elements for the wooden bridge.

Union Pacific EMD SD70 Ace Locomotive by Dennis G


LEGO vechicle-model masterbuilder and flickr.com member Dennis G a.k.a. bricksonwheels has recently shared this magnificiently realistic locomotive model in his photostream. This creation is a 1:16 scaled model and it is really huge. Chack out the side by side photo with another model of the builder to get tan idea of its size. The details on this MOC and the colorscheme are really great. This model is also has LED lights integrated into it and the light setup schematics are also shared by the builder. This is absolutely a masterpiece.

Giant blue flying locomotive!


Vince_Toulouse  who has previously built great MOC's like Polar Transport and S80-Deluxe-3 has recently shared this giant flying locomotive MOC in his Flickr photostream. The locomotive is constructed with unusual parts like sports hoops and big skateboard ramp pieces which make this creation unique. The orange-yellow stripes on sides of the engine are not stickers but built with plates. Small chrome details are added to the machine as well. 


Vince didn't forget to put proper looking custom mini-figures to the locomotive as he did in his previous MOC Machine_n°3. SW Republic Cruiser Crew mini-figure torsos fit well with the color sceme. 

M-Tron Magnet Factory by Blake Foster


This huge space factory is built by LEGO fan and Flickr member Blake Foster who is a master sci-fi builder also known for the amazing space ships like "The Manticore" and "The Paladin". According to the creator this amazing sci-fi building is built over 2 years and took an estimated 3,000 hours to create with 100,000 pieces. The base is 40 x 60 inches, or 128 x 192 studs. It has a full interior with command center, hangers and much more. This MOC is probably the most detailed LEGO sci-fi building ever created.



The top of the building is amazingly detailed with dishes, utensils, antennas and many more detail pieces

Portuguese Steam Train


This a LDD replica of a Portuguese Steam Train by Sergio Batista. There are tons of distinctive details which are brilliantly made to consist this LDD work. It is really challenging work to give complex of the cab and the rest of the locomotive. Also rendering is worth the presentation. Excellent work!
