MOC: Microscale building in ruins

[nobody]

So here's my latest model. I warn you, I have used some clone brand. I've wrote a bit about it on my flickr page which I'll quote here;

Looking on ebay for parts I often come across pieces with some wear and tear such as worn printed pieces and bites mark. Spotting some old worn Shell pieces, I decided these would be great for showing age in a modern. So with the parts I had I made a microscale petrol station (www.flickr.com/photos/johneriktaylor/9937801645/in/set-72...).

This got me interested in the potential of damaged pieces in general, although age and disrepair can be replicated with perfectly fine Lego pieces. Trying to find completely broken pieces appeared to be quite difficult, so I decided to do it myself. Because I didn't want to purposely ruin perfectly good Lego, I did something terrible in the eyes of all good AFOLs and bought a clone brand. The pieces were unbelievably easy to bend and snap, not the mark of a quality product.

With these pieces I have created here a microscale building in ruin. All the black pieces are clone, the rest Lego brand. Using damaged pieces I could possibly create some sort of artistic statement. In this model we see what happens when one uses inferior, imitation products.

Wow! That is really nice! I really didn't expect clone brands to be in there. It does look like an abandoned ruin place though. Nice job! :-)

I like the way you said 'In this model we see what happens when one uses inferior, imitation products.'

I guess that is one use for broken clone bits or even none broken clones that are broken just for this, after all what do they deserve?

It is good, it does look like a post apocalypse sky scrapper that is half torn down into rubble. A whole block of these would be quite impressive assuming of course you have enough clone bits to break up.
