I regulary look at brickshelf for new creations, but I know that there are so
many other creations out there that I (or someone else for that matter) have
never seen. So I thought it would be intresting to see other MOCS there may be
out there..
What is your most favorite creation (MOC) by another builder?
Post a link if possible.

There's so many good ones! My favourites are early models by James Mathis,
especially the BOB train from Germany:
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=4604
This DB Class 212 / V100 from Michael Jasper was always impressive:
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=1512598
Otherdam Junction from Erik Brok is an amazing train/town construction:
http://ericbrok.com/legomind/index.htm?s=models
This set of buildings by "Pudie" has always inspired me:
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=108375
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=816765
Anything by Pierre Normandin is great too.

Favorite? I don't think I could pick an all time favorite, but I remember being
really impressed with and old time gas station that, I think, Thomas Avery
(please correct me if I am wrong) created for a contest a few years ago. I was
unable to find it, but I remember going: Wow!.
Does anyone recall the MOC I am referring to? It had an airplane propeller as a
ceiling fan.

Indeed it is! My apologies for the mistake. Two Thomases (among a few others)
that build really good MOC's.
Thanks for posting the link. It is as nice as I remembered it!

this is impossible, and can't limit myself to one! these are mocs that have
totally beetled my inspiration buckets at some time or another, and is nowhere
near close to highlighting my extensive 'other people's lego' folder.
petra by rattus: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=3522
this was one of the first mocs I saw that used one colour in such a moody and
stylish way, found it very inspiring!
rainbow warrior by pbaulch:
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=116009
this ship is so cool.
hopcraft by Mark Sandlin: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=10641
as you see, I have no discretion when it comes to spaceships, this one has
always been a huge fave.
the rack by cajun: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=116819
this piece validates bionicles
bucket wheel by Holger: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=9483
brilliant and could not believe it was in minifig scale when first saw it.
super beam sword by moko: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=137904
all of moko's vig's are amazing cool. best I've seen at capturing the key frame
in an anime action show

Well, I tend to more amazed by MOCs live and in person than in pictures,
so, hard as it is to choose, I am judging based on the degree of "jaw drop"
when I first saw this MOC.
Trouble is, I can't find pictures online, but I think numerous people will know
which one I am describing.
It was at BrickFest a couple of years ago by the escalator on the 2nd floor.
Just a plain tower block from the outside, about 6 feet tall. But the whole
structure hinged open to show hundreds of appartments each one individually
detailed. I was simply astonished by it!

Really tough. There’s so many good ones.
Jason Allemann’s U.S.S. Discovery:
John Neal’s TCLTC layout
is an example of true Lego “Craftsmanship”.
Sean Kenney’s Greenwich Village set a new
standard for urban detailing - that years later is still emulated by many.
Wow, great thread!

I do not know if I can answer that question as there have been so many amazing
MOCs over the years. That said, for me the MOC I remember getting the most
excited about was the AV-98 Ingram Labor by Gla Gla. It was an amazingly
accurate rendition of the mecha. Regretably Gla Gla's BS account is emptied out
so I do not have any pictures I can point to.

Its so hard to decide, there have been so many great ones over the years.
One of the best I have seen in recent times though has to be the large
scale Boeing 737-400:

Years ago, maybe even on rec.toys.lego, there was a link to a european website
of someone who had created a lot of traveling carnival rides, the kind that
break down and travel on trucks. These things were amazing!
More recently, I was amazed by this dragon train, bought the instructions, and
built it:
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=5245
And late last year, a new train appeared that I would love to buy or recreate:
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=153247
That one is simply amazing...Megan, where are the plans?!?!?

Yes, Ross - that's the one - I had seen some of the pictures when I was

This jogged my memory about a crystal train from about 5 yrs ago. The site seems
to be long gone: http://www.force-x.com/~inosuke/trainsamigo/E-trainsamigo.htm
EJLTC seems to be still active but not updated in some time, and the only
pictures I could find of it are thumbnails here:
http://www.ejltc.com/gallery.htm
I foolishly didn’t save these pics when first saw them, does anyone have copies
by any chance? Here is ‘Inosuke’s post on Lugnet regarding the trains:

Impossible to name one...
Casper van Nimwegen's worker houses were a great inspiration for me to start
building better and more detailled buildings :
http://www.vanree.net/fotoalbum/javanree/lego/rail_2003/day4/tn/img_0004.jpg.html
Patrick Yrizarry's Japanese Restaurant
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=123722
The building techniques, the amount of details, just amazing!
The last one is impossible to grasp just from the pic...
http://www.vanree.net/fotoalbum/javanree/lego/reims_juli2005/legnome_constructionworker.jpg
It was built by Pascal Breard from FreeLUG. The construction worker stands
on a 2*2 turntable, which in turn is placed upon a 2*16 plate, which is
only fixed on one end. The other end runs against a 24T gear which rotates
every now and then at medium speed. This causes the 2*16 plate to tremble,
something which is magnified by the turntable, making it appear as if the
worker is really operating that jackhammer. Bonus : the sound of the gear
over the plate and the rattling inside the turntable!
So simple, but SOOO effective

This is one I agree as one of finest MOC I've ever scene. If fans can do stuff
like this, why can't Lego? It isn't like it is gigantic.

Maybe not in size but I think the piececount would scare you... and that's what
ultimately makes a large part of the set price. Look at the LEGO Factory sets, I
found them quite expensive, until I saw the list of parts on Peeron for them...
quite impressive!
Second : wouldn't work in the new grey colours [1]
Other than that, it's not very suitable for kids to play with, many things are
just too fragile for that. Don't forget LEGO's primary target group.
I'm still amazed how well Dan Siskind's blacksmith shop survived the conversion
from AFOL MOC to mainstream product. Then again, the original was already closer
to the LEGO style than in this case
Another great (series of) MOC(s) I just thought of :
http://www.vanree.net/fotoalbum/javanree/lego/frechen2006/Andreas_Oppermann/
The German train collection of Andreas Oppermann, presented in an equally
wonderful MOC of the former Leipzig railroad station. Specially the V160, V200
and E44 are stunning...
So much talent in this community!

Well, I'm gonna threadjack a little by posting my own favorite MOC that I built
myself. It is a 20,000 piece Gothic Cathedral (mostly 1x1, 1x2, 1x3 and 1x4
bricks) that I started in 1996, and is still not 100% finished (like the real
Gothic cathedrals of Europe that took centuries, mine took a decade). Germany's
Cologne Cathedral took 632 years to complete (1248-1880), so I don't feel so
bad.....
Here it is still under construction in 1998 just before the central tower fell
in a storm....
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=1332751
And here it is in 2005..... with the south transept still not complete (but out
of view)....
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=1332749
It took me a long time until I got the facade the way I wanted it (with a
sculptural feel), and the great west window above the central portal is a SNOT
technique with clear bricks and 1x red plates.
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=1332750
My cathedral is red because back in 1996-2000 there was no such thing as
Bricklink, and the arches were only plentiful in many sizes in red (thanks to
over 30 plundered London Bus sets). And it is built in the classic scale (door=
3 bricks tall) with a length of nearly 5 ft., and the central tower soaring
nearly 2 feet.
My future plans for the cathedral call for building a monastery complex around
the church, including a cloister, gate house, monastery walls and all the other
buildings associated with a monastery (such as water tower, granery, abbots
palace, chapter house, etc).
Just wish I had better pics...

I was greatly impressed by Joel Kuester's Benevolent Grace a few years back:
http://news.lugnet.com/space/?n=7772
Sadly, the bricklink account is no longer active, and my (admittedly brief)
search turned up no current page hosting pictures of the BG. If anyone has a
link, I'd love to see the ship again.
Also very impressive is Richard Parson's entire Port Block Yards:
http://www.portblockyards.com/yar/welcome.htm
In particular, I've always really liked the HES Valhalla:

After going through the list of models, it's sad that some of the links are
gone.
Just an idea, but someone should put together a MOC Hall of Fame, have models
nominated, and voted on. That way, some of the pictures of these creations can
be saved for prosperity.
