TooMuchCaffeine Posted January 8, 2012 (edited) I have been fiddling about with this idea for months and finally got it to work. The TV features a scrolling backdrop effect to make it look like Superman is flying. Check out the video of the TV in action. You'll believe a minifig can fly. Hope you like it.

Vindicare Posted January 8, 2012 Are you kidding me?! This is insane! I can't even think right now, this MOC has me baffled and speechless. The TV is great! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BobBongo1895 Posted January 8, 2012 Haha, this is really cute. Damn good job! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Redhead1982 Posted January 8, 2012 A working TV and a great show on! It's great even without Superman flying. The idea of a moving screen is great, and how you did it is just fascinating. My only moving bricks are the one falling off a building , and your TV screen is moving by 'itself'. That's admiring! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SSJ2 Dark Posted January 8, 2012 This is absolutely phenomenal! The build looks great, but the concept behind it is what really impresses me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CopMike Posted January 8, 2012 Congrats TooMuchCaffeine to a really really well built MOC, so clean & retro looking ! It look smooth and easy the way the background moved. And you´re breaking new ground in ways to use LEGO - cudos for that also . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mariano Posted January 8, 2012 Ha, ha, ha. Simply amazing. What an impressive MOC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JimBee Posted January 8, 2012 Woah, very cool and creative! It looks like it might have been frustrating to get to work, though... was it easy? The TV itself is also neat, the retro look was done well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Orange Leader Posted January 8, 2012 Great execution and concept. Shows that anything is possible with LEGO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TooMuchCaffeine Posted January 8, 2012 Thanks for all the kind comments folks, they are much appreciated. And thanks very much for the front-page feature - that was a very pleasant surprise. I'm glad you like this. Woah, very cool and creative! It looks like it might have been frustrating to get to work, though... was it easy? The TV itself is also neat, the retro look was done well. Getting the backdrop built and turning wasn't particularly frustrating. The difficulty came when trying to motorise it. I must have had to rebuild it about eight times after running it too fast and watching it fly to pieces. I finally got the gearing right and it seems to run pretty sweetly now.

Hinckley Posted January 8, 2012 And thanks very much for the front-page feature - that was a very pleasant surprise. I'm glad you like this. CorneliusMurdock pointed it out to me. And yes, I love it too! It reminds me of toys I had when I was a kid. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AndyC Posted January 8, 2012 Amazing. It's often said you can build anything out of Lego that you can imagine, I think you may have just proved that truer than anyone would have thought. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CorneliusMurdock Posted January 8, 2012 And thanks very much for the front-page feature - that was a very pleasant surprise. I'm glad you like this. Shouldn't have come as much of a surprise.

lightningtiger Posted January 8, 2012 My jaw dropped to the table, unbelievable man, this is totally mind-blowing work 'TMC'....a lot of coffee was drank to create this ! I too would like to know the secret behind the TV screen (though the sets design for the UK leans towards the 1940's/1950's 405-Line era sets - black and white too....tiger is a TV repair guy you see). Congrats on being front paged too. Again totally AWESOME work 'TMC' ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
