    Tiny Ocean Liner is my next micro MOC project for the Bricklink MOC Shop. This rendering is temporary and not for the final product (missing part is in the mail). Real photos and building instructions are in the works. Anyway, this MOC is inspired by great passenger ships of the early 1900’s, from before aviation took over. It may be tiny but this building challange is great

    Very nice MOC indeed :) this could teach some Danes more about their country's past :D

    I think blue or gray tiles would be more like 3.5" floppies I actually did consider sticking one half way out of one of the drives I better take a look at LegoJalex

    Thanks. The stripes were really the epitomy of getting it right. I did not purposely seek to use faded white pieces. The illusion has something to do with the white balance of the picture after some Photoshoping. But still they differ next to each other and have some effect from that. On the digital dinosaurs of the 80's and 90s' ... I do remember them and the early micros (like the ZX 81/Spectrum) were very cute in camparison

    Thank you for your comment. The curved slopes screen technique is widely used in other computer mini-builds, so I won't take invention credit for that one Chris McVeigh/Powerpig for one uses it. Yes, they are indeed very iconic I used to also have a IIci years ago before finally giving away all my vintage Macs to an appreciative person with equal museum ambitions as I used to have.

    Thanks for the comment and updating my title I find it thrilling the illusion you can get from LEGO that the scale is not easy to determine.

    Good looking set. I really like these two-in-one modulars. It could easily be one I would build to keep on my shelf after years of focussing on MOCing. And a pair of scissors!!!

    Thanks guys now it just needs a laserwriter and a SyQuest harddrive

    This is my latest (small) MOC that I started working on a few years ago. After MOCing the NeXT Cube computer that Tim Berners-Lee used to develope World Wide Web, I wanted to build another sort of historical computer: Macintosh II - Introduced in 1987, the Mac II was Apple's first fully expandable Macintosh computer to compliment the booming Desktop Publishing industry. The case design was an example of the Snow White design language which has vertical and horizontal stripes for decoration, ventilation, and the illusion that the computer enclosure is smaller than it actually is.

    Joe Meno recently interviewed me for his BrickJournal 30 about this MOC. Just thought I'd mention :)

    Thanks for a great review of this highly anticipated set — a set that will finally interfere with my rather consistent MOC obsession.

    Thanks for the review — I build it myself two weeks ago. Danish Architecture Company BIG aka Bjarke Ingels Group are those behind the design and construction of the real house. To some Danes that is something in itself.

    Great issue. Thanks for also bringing out an english version!!

    I know this is making a lot of people out there happy :)

    Ah ... I remember the city name from the drive through Germany to my brothers wedding in Nancy I just looked it up, and with the river along the "mitte", I think it would be great for a MOC I did not at all include as much of Copenhagen as some ppl considered important. I tried to think of it as what both a tourist and someone living there would appreciate and not go too big. Then rotate that area to the nearest possible angles for all to fall into place.

    It's around 1:1500 — I never use scale when I build but I had the question asked quite a few times, especially at LEGO World, so there you have it :) I am currious about what's your hometown?

    For those interested I have posted this photo in the thread about the angle system:

    To get a sence of what measures/angles to use, I made a plan with Adobe Illustrator. Here's an image of the layout:

    Amazing. Another really thorough review — I just love the comparison with similar figs/parts. I am thrilled about CMF for the parts they add to the LEGO System.

    Great thread that I just found today via a general web search for the 924. I only had the 918 in my space collection back then but I definitely remember those lucky kids who got the 928. Just the fact that it had a cargo space!!!! I finally bought it half a year ago including many other cs-parts and very well-preserved minifigs. Anyway, these three sets should one day be put out as legacy sets with everything as back then (colors and parts as the original), or we will just have to print them our selves

    I love the idea of a much expanded theme with space tech as the overall connection. I think TLG knows the historical importance of CS (figs, colors, elements) and how they had huge succes following the sci-fi hype generated by the first Star Wars movie that most toymakers tried to play along with.

    Great start of a MOC career! I like how you put so much thought into it. Grass somewhere in the park could be one example of progression

    I did the whole layout in (Adobe) Illustrator first to adapt every single street to it's nearest possible angle. Many solutions came along the way. I had to tweek some blocks that did not get the full space originally intended and so on. I did all the churches and other bigger buildings quite early in the process plus half of Tivoli and then on the day of my deadline I did the rest of it

    Thanks for this review of a set that I had as a child And for pointing out those different inconsistencies, although nothing beats a space craft with a steering wheel

    Nice cs-craft great overall shape. Wasn't it the Futuron guys kicking Blacktron butt?
