Sphinx Little Surprise
10 years ago, before and during a meeting of the Dutch LEGO forum Lowlug.nl, a building contest was held. The rules were simple: build a piece of city, in a teeny tiny scale, on a surface of 16 by 16 studs. Many forum members got to building immediately and put their modules together on the meeting itself, hence creating the bustling city of Micropolis. Now, 10 years later, a similar building contest is organised and this is my contribution.
For my MOC (My Own Creation), I wanted to build something nostalgic; something many people would recognise from their childhoods. As I was raised in the 90s, I immediately thought of the old Adventurers sets. The adventures of Johnny Thunder and his comrades still are reasonably fresh in my mind and especially set 5978 Sphinx Secret Surprise seemed like a suitable candidate in my opinion. So I went to work and, with the help of custom stickers made by Jaaptechnic, I could finalise my MOC. It may be a little too big in terms of scale for Micropolis, but still I find it succesfully done all the same.
