Hey Everyone – Not sure this deserves its own thread but, but because this is a generalized post just exemplified by @T Lego's LaFerrari build I guess it is applicable to create its own thread. Obviously one can display any modular build in this way. 2D of course, 3D would be more difficult.
Anyways, I like to display my Technic models in unique ways. I really think it adds a sense of dimensional value to displaying sets. I have neighbors, kids, friends, etc. come over all the time and it is fun to show-off Technic builds in a more “hands-on” way.
With modular sets/MOCs one can display in an “exploded” view, where you can see the individual components of a build. I like cross-section views, and have done this before with several builds but the problem of cross-section views is although one can see certain functions you are limited in demonstrating those functions because the models really can’t be taken apart.
In an exploded view, at least how I demonstrate it in this video, one can take each module and show its functions, how it fits with the rest of the model, etc. in an easy fashion. I can assemble the entire model, anytime I want, then take it apart as well and have somewhere to display the different modules. @T Lego's LaFerrari is a perfect set for this! See the video for details and how I did it. The spacing may seem a little off, but that is due to lens distortion. Unfortunately the wall display is in a tight space in my Lego room (I am running out of space) and therefore I had to use a large lens to capture all of it.
