| | Introducing - The MOCBox

|
Inspired by the feedback to my recent (URL) 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 (URL) Joe Meno's comment> about a Sea (...)

(...) Oh that little engine on the flatcar is just so cute! Small question tho, did you consider putting any 1x6 lt. grey plates on the drive wheels of the mini-model to better match the large engine's rods? Or did it seem they would be too big in (...)

(2 URLs) Post Mod Gallery> Here is a mini version of my #805 I built this afternoon. I've been wanting to build a mini-scale train to ride on a small flatbed car for a long time now, but I never really got the gumption to try to build a MOC of my (...)

(...) Incidentally, I noticed that the windscreen shown in Peeron's (URL) 4939 inventory> is not exactly the same as the (URL) window>, which has 1 x 1 connectors in its front corners instead of 1 x 3 connectors. Peeron says the windscreen number is (...) (18 years ago, 16-Mar-07, to lugnet.build.microscale, lugnet.inv, FTX)

(...) Thanks! I'm glad you liked them and that they gave you some ideas. Spinning the helicopter rotor on a headlight brick was a stretch, but it works! Jim (18 years ago, 16-Mar-07, to lugnet.build.microscale, FTX)

(...) I spotted these in Brickshelf and was impressed with both of the models - the snowplow is nice for its little details and functions. The helicopter is a pleasant surprise - I looked atthe set and builtthe main model and then went to another (...) (18 years ago, 16-Mar-07, to lugnet.build.microscale, FTX)

(...) Thanks! Yeah, I like to do alternate models out of "philosophical solidarity" with all the kids (like me, more or less) without the resources to build big collections. Anyway, I'm glad that the LDraw files are appreciated. Eventually I intend (...) (18 years ago, 16-Mar-07, to lugnet.build.microscale, FTX)

(...) Jim, These are great. I'm always happy to see folks post single-set alternate models and the fact that you posted the MPD file makes it even better, allowing others to recreate it. Thanks and Regards, Paul (18 years ago, 15-Mar-07, to lugnet.build.microscale, FTX)

Here are some little models I made from the "(URL) Cars>" set: a snow plow and a lil' helicopter. The snow plow should be a familiar sight to anyone from wintry climes. The shape of the main plow isn't really right for a highway plow, but it does (...) (18 years ago, 14-Mar-07, to lugnet.announce.moc, lugnet.build.microscale, FTX) !
