Posted June 8, 20204 yr The consequences of the Coronavirus have inspired me to build this LEGO model. The virus may have originated from an animal market in Wuhan. This is how I imagine a Chinese animal market. We cannot cross the border, and some people can't visit their boyfriend or girlfriend. In the news I have heard, that an elderly couple every day meet at the Danish-German border to drink coffee together as they are not allowed to visit each other. Many LEGO exhibitions have been cancelled. We cannot visit the elderly at their homes, but some people play songs for them in front of their windows and balconies. People's worst fear: Running out of toilet paper. Keeping distance has become important. In several places, stripes have been drawn to help with that. There are almost no departures and the airplanes are parked at the airport. Unemployment has risen. The burglars are also unemployed, because people are at their homes. There are very busy at the hospitals and every day people die of COVID-19. Many people have died, leaving relatives in mourning. In Denmark where I live, people had to work at home. Kindergartens and schools had closed, so people had to work and look after their children at the same time.
June 8, 20204 yr This is an excellent mix of humor and reality with some very nice building techniques mixed in!
June 8, 20204 yr Brilliant MOC! I love the mix of humor and reality, and the way you built the whole thing is also amazing!
June 8, 20204 yr Very thought provoking. Excellent social commentary using Lego. 1 minute ago, Bornin1980something said: Why the sea of trans-black visors? A type of face covering?
June 8, 20204 yr Simplely great Great builds, fitting to the storyline. And also humor, like that toiletpaper scene and with the burglar. Good mix with funny scenes, but also serious scenes.
June 8, 20204 yr I like the dog on the table. Something tells me this is going to trigger the PC police here hardcore, though.
June 9, 20204 yr This is a wonderful build. I also think you strike a good mix of realism and abstraction, humor and somber reflection. Really nice details throughout, and a nice presentation of all the modules together with those viruses floating around. Great build.
June 11, 20204 yr Great techniques and sense of humor mostly, but to be honest, I am not sure if it is racist. I remarked that all minifigs have neutral or friendly faces, except for ALL the chinese marketeers. Even the criminal is somehow more sympathic. I am pretty sure it was not intended, and you probablywanted to show that the typical prejudice torwards any marketeer is greedyness. Still it could be interpreted differently, so I wanted to warn you before someone punches you in the face straight away...
June 13, 20204 yr That's hilarious. I'm sure the 'woke' sheep will be bleating about it being not PC enough shortly I do wonder why you had literally thousands of dark trans visors though!
