RC 1136 Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 (edited) Frank Sinatra and the German-speaking singer Udo Jürgens both sang a hymn to the fascinating City of New York. And there's no doubt that especially the Statue of Liberty is one of the most popular landmarks to people around the world. So, after missing the offical brick-built LEGO-Set years ago there was no chance for me to go past the tinier version brought to us by the CMF Series 6. Now I was given the opportunity by members of www.1000steine.de to honor this very special minifigure within the context of a new CMF-contest (presenting a character from any series on 16x16) and for the first time try out a little forced-perspective-MOC - and get as many famous buildings as possible integrated into my "sykline". That's what "happened" ;): The model itself may be nothing special, especially here on EB, but for me it was not only the first time I seriously am taking part in any kind of LEGO-based competition, it was also the first time that I literally oppressed one of my "beloved" bricks ;). The water-structure is heavily clamped and by reconciling the one-plate-high difference between the two connection points I managed to get a slightly visible "wave" into it. Believe me, I had to... ehm... tranquilize these little, factory-new 1x2 Plates... And yes, of course there are attached some little (and quite obvious) gags... Now I hope you'll enjoy this rather small model and I'm happy for every kind of advice and feedback! Thanks, RC Edited March 16, 2015 by RC 1136 Quote
Bricknblue Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 I really like it, sometimes smaller is better. The water is really neat looking, love the towers and using computer (or are they vents?) pieces. And it should say... "Give use your poor, your tied, your hungry... unless you are from China, then screw you we want Danish mini figures!" Quote
legofanatic12 Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 Cool, looks like the one from LEGO City Undercover. Quote
Actionfigure Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 Hello RC, I already saw your MOC on 1000steine.de. I think it is one of the best in our contest! Quote
Robert8 Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 Love it! Interesting to see you included the Twin Towers Quote
