[MOC] Some aliens and truths - Lego Ideas "moments in space"

Recommended Posts

Hi there, I just found out that obviously it isn't against the rules to share Lego Ideas projects or in this case contest entries. I know, I'm a bit late, but I nevertheless want to show you my entries to the Lego Ideas "Moments in space" contest. You know, I would be very glad if you vote for them and perhaps could leave a comment. Thanks in advance :)

My first one is the Rocket-catching alien . As I decided to just build an alien from simple bricks, there were most spaceships and rovers submitted and I thought it was something different to add just an alien. As I'm not native english speaking, I didn't understand the rules completely and thought that every special brick (like minifig tools and so on) would be denied. That gave the alien this mixel style ;). Well, and to give it something to play and tell a short story about it, I built a tiny rocket as well...

My second entry is the Dark side of the moon. It's a rotatable model of the moon with an astronaut (Neil Armstrong?) on one and an alien on the other side. I started building this few days before the submission period would end. This time I got, that minifigs and some tools are allowed. I originally built it with a tiny lunar module instead of the rocket, but unfortunately this first version was denied by the Lego Ideas team just few hours before the submission period would end. So I had to fast change the entry. Though I didn't have time to build a completely new spaceship or something, I just added the rocket of my other entry. Unfortunately it was too high to turn the rotatable moon. Therefore I had to enlarge the stand a bit. Meanwhile I built a lower rocket and therefore could lower the stand a bit again as well. I updated my entry, but the update function isn't really implemented yet. So I'll post a picture of the updated model as well.

And the updated version:

And just to show you, what I'm talking about: The lunar module out of the first version of my "Dark side of the mooon"-entry. I had the US-flag removed, but it was nevertheless rejected. After asking I was told that the lunar module would be the problem.

The lunar module is great!  Too bad about that.

That's the Lego die piece, right?  Does that ever show up in sets as a piece, or is it really only ever the die?

Yes, it's the die. I don't know any sets with this part which of course doesn't mean that it wouldn't be possible for the future ;)
