MOC: Amethyst Tower

Recommended Posts

Hi All,

Amethyst Tower is inspired by the Chrysler Building.   It's 32" tall, with eight storeys. 

Multiple Friends and Elves plus a few small sets were used in its creation.  Here's a video of the main floor Amethyst Tower Museum.

From my Flickr page, the front view of Amethyst Tower.

Thanks for looking!

NALUG, the Northern Alberta Lego Users Group, participated in a New Year's Eve family event where the theme was superheroes.  Being new to NALUG, I decided to volunteer my time and a build or two to better get to know the good folks in the group. 

But where could I start with that theme with my main interest being Friends?  So, I bought a few DC Superhero Girls sets and a few Micro Minis that were on sale before Christmas, and hoped for the best.

On Christmas Eve, my son-in-law and granddaughter helped build the smaller sets, but I was still struggling to create a MOC out of two larger DC sets.  Aaarrgghh!  What to do?!

Then, a friend dropped by.  He asked an innocent question - was I going to use the rotating base I bought a couple of months ago?  Well, yes, I'd forgotten about that, and wasn't the rotating base perfect to use Amethyst Tower as the main feature of my display?

A 48 by 48 stud base, plus 118 mini-figs, mini-dolls and pets from a variety of themes later, my display was finished.  It was delightful and devious fun transforming non-superhero figures into heroes.  Plus, I couldn't believe I'd assembled such a huge (to me) variety of mini-figs and mini-dolls.  

Here are a few scenes from Amethyst Tower, Where Almost Everyone Is A Superhero -  shot in my home studio...

I'm not sure I've embedded the video correctly.  Suggestions would be appreciated.

One of my favourite mini-figs is the Unicorn Girl whose superpower is Running With Scissors :classic:

Cheers!
