The Beatles' Apple Studios rooftop 1969 concert - real-world modular building MOC
Murdoch17 posted a topic in LEGO Town
This is my modular take on the Beatles concert on January 30th, 1969 at No. 3 Savile Row, then known as the Apple Corps HQ and studio. (it's back to being a house and hasn't been a studio since the mid-70's) I used half of set 76108 - Sanctum Sanctorum Showdown for the front, with a back I designed myself as that set was close enough to look passable as the original London building. I also specifically made the building more grayscale, as if the Beatles are bringing light and color to the world. You can view the photo of the original building as it is now in spoiler tags below. (WARNING: it's an very large photo from Wikipedia!) It's not my photo, either: NOTE: The following LEGO modular building was constructed for my father and his modular building collection, as he bought the bricks and I built it for him according to my design. (per his request) The figures used are from set - 21306 Yellow Submarine, and I would have included Billy Preston too as he played electric keyboard that day and for several weeks before in recording sessions, but my dad sadly misplaced the figure I created and he can't find it. (also, if you can't find George, don't worry - he is behind the chimney pipes. You can't quite see him, but he is there.) The Yellow Submarine film logo printed part will be replaced with a Beatles logo from the 2021 Art set when it arrives. The eight studs out front are for the figures (not yet built) to stop and listen to the concert. I couldn't find a picture of the back, so it's improvised, same as the inside details are fictional too. Also, I didn't include stairs in the building, because I was trying to just flesh it out in basics and worry about furniture and stuff later. The first floor (or ground, as some might call it) has a fireplace, couch, grandfather clock, a dining table with four chairs, and another table lamp. On the second floor is a bedroom with bed, cabinet, writing desk, a upright piano and a floor lamp. (I was thinking about John Lennon and Yoko Ono's week-long "bed-in for peace in Vietnam" when I designed this level) However, as Yoko is reputed to have broken up the Beatles, this will suffice for her as a figure. The items up here on the third floor include a table w/ two chairs, a record player and a lamp. There are also four bookcases of vinyl records (one for each Beatle) on this floor, along with one empty one. "I'd like to say thank you on behalf of the group and ourselves, and I hope we've passed the audition." - John Lennon, 1969 (at the conclusion of the concert and as heard on the album "Let it Be") My dad designed the Ringo fig's drum-set, and I have three of this stove-top part on order for amplifiers. Any Thoughts, Comments or Questions? I'd be happy to answer them! Also, side note: if you are a Beatles fan and have several hours to kill, watch the Get Back documentary by Peter Jackson. It's split in three parts and has nine hour overall runtime, but it's awesome. -
[MOC] 1969 Mercedes-Benz 280SL
Hass Kabal posted a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Hello to everyone, I am here with the new Lego MOC - 1969 Mercedes-Benz 280SL. I revised a few of the original designs. Some of the important ones are that the side mirrors continue without breaking the oval line at the place where the door exits. Updating the engine as 6 cylinders. Just like the upper part of the hood looks more smoothly oval, with more smooth lines. Please do not withhold your vote on the ideas below link if you like https://ideas.lego.com/projects/91827469-0cb7-4029-98e8-14e1a01af1f4 For all photos, you can check my flickr address. https://www.flickr.com/photos/hasskabal/albums/72157713991355321 Thanks Everyone, -

All my recent car mods go here! 1929 Ford Model A (75875 MOD) This car is a model of a Ford Model A, which was inspired by the hot rod Model A in set 75875 (Ford F-150 Raptor & Ford Model A Hot Rod) from the 2016 Speed Champions lineup. This is the third version of this car, and I have I remodeled the front and grille area due to input from Flickr user Tim Henderson. Here is the inside, which can seat one mini-figure. The rear of the car has room for a license plate. As a side note, this car is also build-able in these other colors: -Red -Dark Bluish Gray -Light Bluish Gray -Black -White Here is the original car (pic from Brickset) so you can comapre them (link: http://brickset.com/...Model-A-Hot-Rod ) LDD file for my version: http://www.moc-pages...1455912787m.lxf 1969 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 (75874 MOD) I thought the '69 Chevy Camaro in set 75874 (Chevrolet Camaro Drag Race) would look better in street form. I recreated it using the instructions at Brickset albeit I made some small changes to the model to avoid using stickers. (such as smaller tires, real headlights, a rear window and front grille) HOWEVER: After building the model in black, I realized it would also work in red and blue instead of the regular black. I then added another set of dark bluish gray stripes beside the main white stripe. As before, the model can hold 1 figure in the drivers' seat. The car is most likely build-able in real life in red (maybe yellow too) as well as the basic black seen in the original set. The inside can seat one mini-figure, and the roof is removable to put the fig in the seat. This roof section is grouped in LDD to make it easier to remove. The back end of the car originally had huge rear tires and no rear windscreen. I replaced the monster tires with regular ones and added a 2 x 2 slope to represent a back window. Here is the original car (pic from Brickset) so you can comapre them (link: http://brickset.com/...amaro-Drag-Race ) And here is the LDD file for my blue version: http://www.moc-pages.com/user_images/80135/1457367796m.lxf 1966 Ford Anglia 105-E (4728 MOD) This is my 2016 version of the car in set 4728, (Escape from Privet Drive). This car type is famous for being used in the movie "Harry Potter & the Chamber of Secrets". In real life, this car type was made by a Ford for sale in the United Kingdom and was called a Anglia. This particular version (a 105-E Super) was built from 1959 - 1968. The new version features an opening trunk, doors, seating for two figures and a removable roof. The model is also build-able in medium blue, yellow and white. Here is the rear of the car with the trunk closed. Here we can see the roof removed and the doors and trunk open. This model can seat two figures side by side due to the jumper plates that the figures feet sit on. Here is the original car and it's set (pic from Brickset) so you can comapre them (link: http://brickset.com/...om-Privet-Drive ) LDD file for my version: http://www.moc-pages.com/user_images/80135/1457303956m.lxf 1966 Volkswagen Micro-bus (Rock Band bus MOD) This model was inspired by a PDF of the LEGO Rock Band bus, but in red instead of orange. I removed the funny-car style wheels and massive engine replacing them with vent cover for the engine. The rear of the bus, which can seat 3 figures, and is build-able in blue, yellow, black, and the red version you see above. LDD file for my version: http://www.mocpages....1416926983m.lxf 1969 Volkswagen Beetle (5 wide custom MOD of a MOC) Built from these old instructions by Whoward 69. (link: https://www.flickr.c...57624191463040/ ) I converted this 5 wide car to a hardtop and replaced the wide original wheels with a more Beetle-like solid disc. I also changed the color to yellow instead of green and added a license plate at the back. This car seats 1 mini-figure. LDD file: http://www.mocpages....1417396431m.lxf Porsche 918 Spyder (75910 MOD) This is a modified version of set 75910. (Porsche 918 Spyder) It now has a hardtop roof, headlights, a front grille, along with a redone windscreen and wheels / wheel wells. (This is due to LDD not having those newer Speed Champions parts!) The car also features a removable roof and seating for one mini figure. This model is also missing parts, specifically two of these ( http://alpha.bricklink.com/pages/clone/catalogitem.page?P=18980#T=C ) in Light Bluish Gray and one in Black for the front and rear bumpers. They go where the 2 x 3 wedge plates go on the bumpers ONLY. The other slopes on the sides of the car stay put. The roof is removable and allows for access to the car in order to put the driver in his seat. The rear of the car is where the engine is supposed to be. Here is the original car.

EDIT!!! I've made some major improvements on the car to capture the typical look of a '69 Charger even better. Hope to find the time to take some pics soon. So stay tuned!!! ...or just some other 69 Charger that looks like the Death Proof musclecar, because the interior is way too nice for Stuntman Mike. ;) ^ Stuntman Mike. Looking cool, waiting for some chicks in a white Challenger...
