Bingo Little Posted April 9, 2012 Posted April 9, 2012 (edited) (Hopefully this fits in the historic forum, as, regardless of your religious views, it takes place in a historical setting) This year I decided to challenge myself to make an Easter Garden out of Lego. As I built it, it became a series of Easter tableaus, showing different parts of the story (with slight adjustments made for each day): The last supper. Herod. Pilate. Judas betraying Jesus. The Crucifixion The... Saturday in which nothing much happens, I suppose. The Resurrection Wideshot. Full album, if anyone wants to see more. Thanks for looking Edited April 9, 2012 by Bingo Little Quote

The Joker1 Posted April 9, 2012 Posted April 9, 2012 (edited) FANTASTIC this MOC is brilliant.(I love the sleeping guard in the Resurrection picture). Edited April 9, 2012 by The Joker1 Quote
Fred Fred Burger Posted April 9, 2012 Posted April 9, 2012 Great work! happy Easter Everyone:classic:! Quote
Bingo Little Posted April 9, 2012 Author Posted April 9, 2012 FANTASTIC this MOC is brilliant.(I love the sleeping guard in the Resurrection picture). It took me long enough to get my hands on a roman, I almost gave up any hope of ever finding a sleeping kid - luckily I got them both at the same time. Quote
Vindicare Posted April 9, 2012 Posted April 9, 2012 FANTASTIC this MOC is brilliant.(I love the sleeping guard in the Resurrection picture). That's my favorite picture too. That last picture is quite a surprise. The size of the MOC is impressive, as is the whole build. You depicted the story very well here. Quote
Bingo Little Posted April 9, 2012 Author Posted April 9, 2012 That's my favorite picture too. That last picture is quite a surprise. The size of the MOC is impressive, as is the whole build. You depicted the story very well here. The scenes such as the last supper, etc, are all built into the other sides of the MoC. Thanks! Quote
Watchman Posted April 10, 2012 Posted April 10, 2012 am I right that the last supper images etc are taken on the "reverse" side of the hill and that the entire MOC for the Easter story is thus 5 sides (4 faces and the top) of the baseplate ? - awesome concept ! well done. Quote

You are indeed correct - it's more interesting than blank white wall faces! Here are some pictures to show the concept better: Quote

Rook Posted April 10, 2012 Posted April 10, 2012 (edited) Love the flamming angel wings! Edited April 10, 2012 by Rook Quote
Nightstalker Posted April 11, 2012 Posted April 11, 2012 Wow! That's all put together. Interesting way of depicting the last supper -> Christ's death -> Resurrection It's really creative and well done. Quote
daisy Posted April 11, 2012 Posted April 11, 2012 This is really great. The whole thing is cool but I especially like that you used a fisherman at the last supper. And the angel is fantastic! (So cool you didn't use a stereotypical white feathery one) What a neat idea. Building something like that would be a great way to share the Easter story with kids. Quote

Yes, the fisherman holding the meat looks like Peter, to me - although being strictly accurate, that torso uses buttons 1600 years too early! As for the angel, I don't have the pieces to do it feathery, so I decided to look at some different depictions of angels... glad I did. I'd love to share it with kids, but as I'm 18, I think that's probably a few years down the line rather than right now... Quote

Well, my husband taught sunday School in college this would be great for a class. The jr hi class I teach would think this is awesome. Actually this is a great idea. Thanks for the inspiration, as my moc skills improve I might try something like this w/ jr highers. Quote
Legonardo Posted April 13, 2012 Posted April 13, 2012 Great MOC! I love how you combined all the scenes in one moc, also figures are good here's something I did some time ago that suits what you have built. (if it should be posted somewhere else pm me) Quote
brickie Posted April 13, 2012 Posted April 13, 2012 Bingo Little, Thank you so much for sharing your great MOC with us; it is very inspirational and tells the Easter story so succinctly. Well done. My favourite photo is the one of Pilate washing his hands; very powerful. Keep up the good work. Quote
Maxim I Posted April 15, 2012 Posted April 15, 2012 Very nice! Also great minifig you given Jesus! Only by the resurrection I am not really sure about the minifig with the flames, but then again, it's a really great minifig! I love the flames looking like wings Quote
