PaddyBricksplitter Posted January 12, 2019 Posted January 12, 2019 (edited) Hey all. Here is my latest MOC. It is a microscale sci-fi city, or rather two cities bound together as one. It was Inspired by some of my sci-fi favourites like "Things to Come", "Battle Angel Alita" and as Digger of Bricks pointed out to me “Metropolis”. Hope you like it Edited January 12, 2019 by PaddyBricksplitter Quote

deraven Posted January 12, 2019 Posted January 12, 2019 A classic concept very nicely executed. That's a delightful build - well done! Quote

Salvo Posted January 13, 2019 Posted January 13, 2019 also looks like the city in the netflix series Altered Carbon, cool idea for the base and the smoke from the chimneys is very well shaped! Quote

Thanks, I wasn’t quite sure about how to do smoke. I guess it turned out ok Altered Carbon was pretty good. I’ve not seen any Lego Mocs based on it now you mention it. Quote

LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted January 14, 2019 Posted January 14, 2019 Superb ...the base of the twin cities ia amazing Quote
rodiziorobs Posted January 15, 2019 Posted January 15, 2019 I like the contrast of the skyline above with the bright colors and composed shapes versus the dark hard-edged hellscape below. I've seen similar kind of things before with minifigs and such but I think the microscale is a smarter choice--it really focuses the build around the concept better and centers it. Great work all around Quote

Great work all around Thank you very much When I was building this moc I had in mind modernist architecture from the early 20th century. I thought it would be a good way to do contrasting styles utopian versus industrial, but still keep the whole thing consistent. Quote
EVE Posted January 17, 2019 Posted January 17, 2019 I could go on and on about all the cool features, but I LOVE the contrast between the graceful swoops of the white towers and the clunky, brutal feel of the "Other half" below. Really brings out the feeling of dystopia. Quote
