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: I don't remember it precisely... I think it was a castle set, back in the early 80's. My older sister got some Duplo and Fabuland sets, so I guess it all started with these.

Königsfeld Manor by Patrick Massey


Eurobricks member and flickr.com user Patrick Massey a.k.a. MassEditor recently shared this beautiful and colorful MOC in his photo-stream which was built for the Guilds of Historica storyline in Eurobricks. I really like the idea that some parts of the creation like the roads and the river run over the smooth black frame of the vignette. The manor building itself is a great historical MOC on his own. Lots of different plants and trees makes the creation even more interesting.

Special Interview with Marco den Besten a.k.a. 'Ecclesiastes


This week we have one of the best historical MOC builders as our Guest. Marco den Besten from the Netherlands who is known for his huge historical/fantasy cities and castle MOC's was kind to answer our questions. Photos from the work of our guest will be presented between the questions.

Kaplan: We already know that you are one of the best MOC'ers in the world. What can you tell us about yourself other than that? What is your day job? Do you have any other hobbies or activities?

Marco: I work in retail for a living. Yes, one of those jobs were you have to cope with wining customers all day. It’s a good thing I’ve got LEGO to relax. Other than, of course, building, I like fishing, plenty of water here in the Netherlands. And I like hiking, which I prefer doing in mountainous areas. But that’s something we don’t have here, unfortunately.


K: Do you remember your first day when you get your first LEGO set?

M: I think I got my first sets when I was around three, so I don't recall my very first one. However, I do remember the first large set I got. It was the 6271, Imperial Flagship. Which I was, of course, very happy with, and it is one of the best Lego ships ever made. So were all the ships that were made during those years.

Some MOC's make your day colorful


My day becomes colorful when I see Pirates-based MOC. Today is colorful too because flickr.com member and LEGO Fan Nikola Đurić has recently created a MOC for Eurobricks' RPG Game, Baron Nicolas at the Port. It is a tiny city with a small wooden trade port, a lighthouse and bunch of local shops including barber. Two storey buildings sorrounding shore-road. I mostly liked the barber shop with tiny windows.
