Inspired by the feedback to my recent Aquarium MOC. I played around with the large trans-clear panel piece and came
up with a simple idea for a container which I call the MOCBox.
My first build was in response to Joe
Meno’s comment about a Sea Monkey environmental chamber. I toyed with that
idea, and came up with this: (Thanks for the idea, Joe!)
| | “The Chamber”
|
I then realized that this design makes for a neat, little display case. The
MOCBox is very simple to build, and is quite versatile - it can be made to stand
on its own, lean like a picture frame, or even hang on a wall. By varying the
orientation and depth of the MOCBox, you can create your own design, and
decorate it to your liking. Here are some examples:
| | “Spidey” - A basic MOCBox showing how 2 minifigs can be displayed.
|
You can enclose a micro-scale MOC inside of a MOCBox:
| | A micro-scale Model Train Display inside a MOCBox.
|
The MOCBox can be used to create your own artwork, such as these:
| | Entitled “Catching the Elusive Drumstick”.
|
| | 
| | Entitled “In Observance of Jupiter”.
|
Of course, you can build a vignette inside of a MOCBox, too...
| | The Brickster makes “A Clean Break”.
|
| | 
| | A Pirate-themed MOCBox entitled “Breaking Up is Impossible to Do”.
|
| | 
| | A Castle-themed MOCBox called “The Hunt”.
|
| | 
| | “Snack Time” - A sculpture-like MOCBox featuring Joe Vig.
|
And just like vignettes, MOCBoxes can be combined to form a larger scene. Here
is a dual-layer MOCBox:
| | “Neighbors”
|
Enjoy!

| (...) -snip actual MOCBoxes- (...) Nice idea, great execution. (The pirate one is obviously the best, but that might just be my bias showing ;-).) Spotlighted. Thanks for sharing. Cheers Richie Dulin (17 years ago, 21-Mar-07, to lugnet.build.vignette, FTX)

| Hi! Great work on such little room! I love this two very much: (URL) (...) (URL) (...) Especially the little engine is very well done. Just three (?) pieces I suppose, but has everything an engine needs to be recognizable. Thanks for sharing! (...) (17 years ago, 21-Mar-07, to lugnet.build.vignette, FTX)
