moctown Posted September 4, 2015 Posted September 4, 2015 Hey People! After a longer stage of inactivity on EB I present you my latest MOC. This microscale model is my execution of the world-famous statue of christ in Rio de Janeiro. It's also well-known as "Cristo Redentor". Though the model consists of only 122 parts, it took me a couple of weeks to get over it! But in the end I made it and here is the result: I'm very curious about your opinion. So feel free to leave your comments! Thx & so long, Jens Quote
Legocity2713 Posted September 4, 2015 Posted September 4, 2015 Wow, this is awesome. Very well done and a great display piece. I've always wanted to see the statue, so inspiring, so grand. Great job man. :thumbup: Quote
deraven Posted September 4, 2015 Posted September 4, 2015 Wow, at 122 parts, that's instantly recognizable and would look great in something like the Architecture line! For that piece count, I don't really have any criticism. Quote
rodiziorobs Posted September 4, 2015 Posted September 4, 2015 Ah! Although I lived in Brazil for awhile, I never had the chance to visit Rio and see this in person. I do have a giant poster of it in my Lego room, though My only complaint is that I'm not sold on using technic pins as hands, but other than that its very nice, especially with such a small part count. Well done! Quote
Exetrius Posted September 5, 2015 Posted September 5, 2015 Wow, instantly recognizable indeed, good job! Quote
moctown Posted September 8, 2015 Author Posted September 8, 2015 Thank you, guys! I'm happy you like it! ... My only complaint is that I'm not sold on using technic pins as hands, ... Which parts would you suggest to use as hands? Thx & so long, Jens Quote
Eggolot Posted September 8, 2015 Posted September 8, 2015 Simply perfect. Few pieces, excellent result. Quote
rodiziorobs Posted September 8, 2015 Posted September 8, 2015 (edited) You could try this piece and then a 1x1 plate and cheese slope. You could turn the slope in a couple of directions to get the look right, but I would try them turned out first. Cheers, and again, this is a great display piece.

moctown Posted September 10, 2015 Author Posted September 10, 2015 Thanks Eggolot! @rodiziorobs: Thanks for your suggestion! A german LEGO-mate suggested, to use the screwdriver tool, which is also a good idea in my eyes: http://www.bricklink...D=86&itemID=767 But I think, I'm gonna leave it well enough alone, especially it was posted on TBB a few days ago. So, I think the technic pins were the right choice! Thx & greets, Jens Quote
rodiziorobs Posted September 11, 2015 Posted September 11, 2015 (edited) Ah, the screwdriver would also work ok. Of course, the best would be if the popsicle piece came in grey I saw that TBB posted it, congratulations! I wouldn't mess with it either at that point! I might have to reverse engineer this so I can have it on display myself...once again, very nice job. Edited September 11, 2015 by rodiziorobs Quote
ossada Posted July 22, 2016 Posted July 22, 2016 That's a great job. I am a Lego fan and a capoeirsta. Would love to put it for show in my martial art school. Do you plan to share the bricklist for this? Quote
greg3 Posted July 24, 2016 Posted July 24, 2016 That's brilliant.... Instantly recognisable and yet using so few parts!! Excellent work!! Quote
Tomik Posted July 26, 2016 Posted July 26, 2016 I like your model - it's very well recognizable and I can imagine it as Architecture set. By the way how are those pins and Technic beams connected to the rest of model? Have you used bars? Quote
Green Rhubarb Posted July 26, 2016 Posted July 26, 2016 (edited) I like it very much. It's very simple, yet instantly recognizable. Well done! Edited July 26, 2016 by Green Rhubarb Quote
