What AFoL (Adult Fan of Lego) MOC (My Own Creation) gave you that first
“aha” moment when you saw it online or in person?
How did it affect you?

A fine question! For me, two MOC’s really knocked my socks off during my early
days in the online AFOL world. Back in 96 and 97 I didn’t realize how
widespread the community was nor the scope of the projects that could be
undertaken.
The first was Ed
Boxer’s LEGO Castle. The biggest castle MOC I’d ever attempted before that
time would just about fit on a 32x32 baseplate. When I saw Ed’s accomplishment
I was totally floored. In retrospect it’s even more impressive to me because Ed
didn’t exactly have the latest MLCAD software to help design it, and he worked
instead in Coreldraw.
The second real eye opener was Terry Cruse’s Titanic, for which I can’t seem to
find a live link. This was another “holy moley” moment during which I got a
brand new sense of the potential scale of MOCs. The detail and sheer size of
the model were remarkable, to the point that I remember certain pictures with
clarity even 8+ years after seeing them.
Dave!
