To participate all you have to do is make a building, road, mecha or just about any other section of a “typical” city. Think destroyed, war-torn Moonbase without corridors or a Train layout without trains and you’ll get the idea.

The Lego Mecha community invites everyone and anyone interested to participate. We hope the MCP will be a fun project enjoyed by the AFOL community at large.

More details can be found at the MechaHub.

Or more directly this page.

This sounds like an awesome idea!! The combination of train/town/mecha to make a diorama of a war-torn city. Are there ay examples of what a war-torn building would look like in Lego? I can think of a number of games that would give good visual references, but I haven’t seen any done in lego yet.
