MOC: Once Upon A Brick - Series 1

[Lucifer Adams]

Hi everyone!

I have just finished a MOC project that I would like to share with you here. I call it 'Once Upon A Brick' and the idea is to take classic Disney characters and re-imagine them as large-scale 2x4 LEGO Bricks.

When choosing which character to do first, Mickey Mouse was the obvious choice and after that, his three friends seemed to be the next logical step; Goofy, Donald Duck and Pluto.

They average 110 LEGO bricks per model and stand approximately 13cm tall.

I am calling the above four MOCs 'Series 1' and I have lots more series planned. I am nearly finished with 'Series 2' and will get them photographed just as soon as the last one is ready.

Finally, I have been hoping to build something worthy of LEGO Ideas for a while and I think/hope that this series could be something that others may enjoy. With that in mind, I have submitted this project to LEGO Ideas and if you feel that this is a project worthy of support, then please follow the link and hit the SUPPORT button. Also, if you know anyone who you think might like to see this project made into an official LEGO product, then please pass the link onto them.

Many, many thanks for taking the time to look at my builds!

UPDATE #1 - UPDATE #1 - UPDATE #1 - UPDATE #1

4th June 2015 - Since I created this thread in April, I've been making more characters and have been moving away from the idea of sticking to the 'series' label that I'd used above. I've also been taking on board the feedback that I have been getting from people who have seen them in person. The one thing that I hear a lot is that they are much bigger than they look in the photos. I honestly think that some people were assuming that they were actually 2x4 bricks that I had been gluing parts onto. To help give perspective from now on, I have been taking new pictures of the characters with the LEGO brick that they are based upon, next to them.

So, please may I introduce you to new members of the Once Upon A Brick family, coming straight to you from the 100 Acre Wood...........

Winnie The Pooh & Friends

From left to right, we have Pooh himself, then Piglet, Tigger and finally Eeyore. Piglet was a huge amount of fun to do and gave me my first chance to use something other than a 2x4 brick as the basis for the character. Since the rest of them are all 2x4s, it made sense that Piglet would be a 1x2 brick.

As I said above, if you like these MOCs, I would be eternally grateful for your support on LEGO Ideas please.

Thanks for the above kind words of support. I have added my first update and have another update coming very soon, with another three characters.

Wow, really original! Such nice SNOT techniques!

I love that you let Eeyore slouch, it really captures his personality!

I generally dislike "artsy" stuff, but this is great in the way that it looks really nice, and each character is recognizable instantly - better than if they had a face. Thumbs up
