[VIG] Three Wise Men?

[Andy D]

Just a little vignette I felt a need to do. My wife has a Christmas decoration that has the three Wise Men in a circle, back to back, under the Star, searching and cannot decide which way to go. Her decoration is also a rotating music box.

Every morning while we have coffee I look at that and think... I want to make that in LEGO! So I found The Three Wise Men on eBay and produced this.

The first photo shows the front (where they are going at this time). Since the gifts were said to be gold, frankincense and myrrh and gold is listed first, I decided that the one carrying the gold would be the in the lead (strictly my own decision, I hope it does not offend anyone, as no offense is intended).

Anyway, here is the front of the Magi

And here is the back.

They are on a turntable so they can rotate (like the music box they were inspired by) and they take the same little patch of desert where ever they go until the end of their journey.

BTW: I don't normally name pieces, but I couldn't resist naming this piece... "Searching for Jesus"

I hope you enjoy.

Merry Christmas,

Very cool. I have a similar idea to make a scene with the 3 Kings, I was gonna use the CMF King and the Nexo Knights King and wait to see if that crown/hair combo piece gets released in another color.

Anyway, great MOC again. :thumbup:
