I just love those movies and they're so chock full of scenes to replicate. 4 hours ago, Crazy bricks said: We don't see enough Mocs in this style, works really well! Nicely executed. Cheers! I really enjoy building in this scale. It's fragile and you're constantly having to take decisions about what to include or exclude while still trying to retain enough of the character of the source. It's definitely not like building at a minifig scale. But a word of warning: Spending too much time at this scale can have profound unintended consequences.

Justin Posted May 26 (edited) Harold Lloyd hung from a clock in the era of silent films on "Safety Last," while Christopher Lloyd (no relation to Harold) did the same in the era of modern films with the "Back to the Future " trilogy of films..."Back to the Future" even referenced this film in the beginning of "Back to the Future," since a picture of the clock scene from "Safety Last" was among the the items found in Doc Brown's collection of clocks during the opening credit sequence...
