MOC: Tv-show LOST

[Skrytsson]

An airplane crash, an isolated tropic island, mystical events. I am probably not the only fan who has followed all the Tv-show Lost’s six seasons. After watching the final episode of the final season this May, I have suffered quite a bit from “Lost-abstinence”. However, during the late summer I found out what to do about it; why not immortalize this fantastic Tv-show by rebuild some of the most interesting scenes into Lego bricks?

After a lot of building, rebuilding, trouble with LDD, Bricklink-buying, rebuilding again and photographing I have four creations “finished” (I will probably rebuild them again…) to share. Enjoy and tell me what you think!

Bonus-pictures:

We got a new minifig hero!

"Welcome you are, my friend".

...and one more villain!

"So... What's your speciality, my dear?".

"Manipulating people's thoughts? How ridiculous! HAHAHAHAHA!".

[Plissken]

Wow, this is great.

I love Lost and your creations capture the series perfectly. The fourth one is my favorite, the van is fantastic.

Also I like your method to make Hurley a bit bigger than the other figures. Good idea. At last a question, which head did you use for Locke? It looks pretty good, but I don't know from which theme it is.

[Professor Flitwick]

As a long time fan of Lost, I must say this is brilliant. The Dharma van is nothing short of brilliant, as is your Ben, Eko, Sayid, Locke and Sawyer. Your technique for Hurley is also great!

Though I must say I find Juliet's face slightly too... glamorous. It just doesn't really remind me of her; I don't recall her waring that much make-up?

[StoutFiles]

These are awesome.

I wouldn't consider Ben a villain though, especially in the last season.

[CorneliusMurdock]

Excellent figures and MOCs! Very accurate, too. If TLG made them, they'd look like this!

[Tanotrooper]

Awesome creations, the minifigs look great (love the design on Hurley!) and the scenes are instantly recognisable. Good job!

[SpiderSpaceman]

needs more Desmond!

(and maybe a little WAAAAAAALT)

these are great

To Flitwick - Minifigures series 2 lifeguard is the spittin' image of juliet. Sadly, it wouldn't fit with the fleshies.

[De-Brickifier]

The fourth creation was my favorite! They are all awesome though.

[XimenaPaulina]

This is just an amazing work of art, I was literally mouth agaped when I was browsing through this just in pure awe. Great work on the custom minifigs, every detail on each of them is very accurate to the real characters. And even more impressive job on recreating the unforgettable scenes of the series. You really did a lot of fantastic techniques there, like the trans-black pieces for the smoke, the brickbuilt fat belly, the slitted decal for the timer number, and the baby blue van is simply beautiful. I'm instantly a fan of your creations Skrytsson, my hats off to you Sir!

[Darth Yogi]

Wow these look great. Must have taken you a long time. My favorites are the second and forth. That bus is awesome. Really represent the pictures you have shown, although I haven't watched any of the episodes

Great job

[Tyleraf]

Love your LEGO Lost. Everyone looks spot on. Also Plissken, I think he used this head for Locke. Clicky

[Joebot]

Those are really great! Ah, I miss that show. I loved it even though it drove me crazy.

[Sandy]

I love these MOCs, and I especially love all the minifigures - it's amazing how you've made them so accurate without any decals! An admirable feat, no question.

It's a funny coincidence that I'm using many of those same faces and torsos in my upcoming new comic as well, but that's mostly because there's not as much variety in fleshie faces as there is in yellow faces.

[pbk420]

Great work great show .

[RoryoCox]

Very nice. You captured the details of everything really well, all of the minifigures are nice and detailed.

[Fonzy]

Very close to the TV-series. Great casting of the minifigs.

Looking foreward to more scenes.

[Masked Builder]

Those are great! I don't watch Lost but I love that Van!

[buddy]

Great MOCs, the minifigs look exactly like the real people in photos (I don't watch Lost)!

I especially like the van!

Well done.

~buddy~

[Skrytsson]

Thank you everyone for your nice comments. I appreciate that! Thank you!

I am pretty satisfied myself about the creations. And just like you say, Darth Yogi, it has taken me a long time! But I have been patient and thought about it, again and again. Especially some of the minifigures took me a long time to figure out how to make.

I wouldn't consider Ben a villain though, especially in the last season.

You are right about that. However, he is one of the main villains in many of the episodes. Maybe I should have grabbed the black smoke to the picture with the Joker instead?

Though I must say I find Juliet's face slightly too... glamorous. It just doesn't really remind me of her; I don't recall her waring that much make-up?

Well, Juliet's face is a hard one. There aren't many useful female faces in light flesh

To Flitwick - Minifigures series 2 lifeguard is the spittin' image of juliet. Sadly, it wouldn't fit with the fleshies.

Yeah, I think her face, especially the shape of her mouth, would fit Juliet good. But as you say, it's to bad she isn't light flesh.

Love your LEGO Lost. Everyone looks spot on. Also Plissken, I think he used this head for Locke. Clicky

Yup, that's correct. However Locke doesn't have much of a beard so I decided to shave him

[BosniaFTW]

Very nice creations! For a second there I thought Hugo was a pregnant girl with a beard in the first creation.

[jacob_uno]

Wauw! I just want to watch Lost again! So cool and so spot on!

[Ghosty]

I don't watch the show, but this is cool!

[Nightshroud99]

Great Job! LOST is a Great show and to make it into LEGO is a neat idea! I love how you made those figures, sawyer is my favorite as well as Kate; they were good!

But may I aek what head is used on Locke? I haven't seen that one before. Is it from Harry Potter?

[Skrytsson]

Thank you, guys

But may I aek what head is used on Locke? I haven't seen that one before. Is it from Harry Potter?

No, it is actually this one. But I removed the beard. It is pretty difficult to find an old man-head without beard in lego...
