firefabric Posted October 22, 2023 Posted October 22, 2023 Presenting my latest Back to the Future -themed MOC, a diorama featuring Marty McFly playing Johnny B. Goode on stage with the Starlighters at the 'Enchantment Under the Sea' dance in 1955. It's a 24x16 diorama with a stage, back curtain and custom instruments for the band. Build itself is quite conventional, base is built the same way as a MILS plate. The back curtain however was a bit more fiddly, it's built out of 2-plate/tile 'strands' which are connected at the top and rotate around the grey round plate at the top, so it gives the possibility to rotate it into a wavy pattern. Some more pictures: If you are interested, there's more info, parts list and free instructions for the stage and instruments on Rebrickable: https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-161810/firefabric/marty-mcfly-johnny-b-goode/ Quote

I finally made this into a full diorama scene, the initial 12x12 version was my entry to the Licenced Forum Dynamic Action contest a while back. But yes this was definitely the scene I wanted to go with! Quote
Feuer Zug Posted October 23, 2023 Posted October 23, 2023 Great rendition of this scene. I guess all the 1950s skirts would be hard to recreate, but you got the band and their instruments down perfectly. Quote

Gathering all the minifig parts took some time as I wanted to use standard Lego parts (no custom figures or stickers). I don't have an issue with custom parts but I wanted to see how it could work with standard parts. And also that Eurobricks competition required regular Lego parts if I remember correctly. True, the 50's audience with skirts etc would be probably a bit tricky to create, if I wanted to expand the scene still ... but I guess if you put your mind to it, you can accomplish anything! Quote
npgcole Posted October 25, 2023 Posted October 25, 2023 You nailed it! What an impressive diorama of an iconic scene. Quote
