My MOC of the Back to the Future LEGO set. Uses mostly the parts found in that set with some obvious additions.
Set is now modular, so to switch between the three main versions from the films requires swapping out some parts.
Been planning this for years and slowly building up a library of techniques in my head so if you see a build you recognise then credit to the original builder.
Don't worry. As long as you hit that wire with the connecting hook at precisely 88mph the instant the lightning strikes the tower... everything will be fine.
... and when does the lightning strike the Clocktower? Hint in the picture ;o) This is actually a pocket watch I inherited from my Granddad and normaly keep savely locked away not wanting anything to happen to it.
... this photo is brought to you by the Letter - L - press it and enjoy!

The Back to the Future sim opened yesterday at: maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Creations%20Park/39/140/570
Doc's garage is situated to the right and a little behind the large city hall building.
So here as i promissed finally the pictures
of the layout.
140 x 140 studs.
The whole last years work next to the other projects i finished.
Endless bricklink orders.
Endless hours watching the movie to get the things right.
Still a few things are missing i have to add until i propably present it at the LEGO Fanwelt event end of this year.
The part with the black tiles is still under construction with a few more smaller buildings, but for the last exhibition there was no space to walk around the layout anyway, so i saved some time building them.
This is my biggest layout so far.
For the detail shots check the BTTF set:

Have fun dudes ;)
Rebuilt the rear section of my six stud wide DeLorean this weekend. The big change was I got rid of the wedges I was using on the sides and added bars in a sloping angle to try and replicate the rear/side window frames. Also added exhaust pipes, some dark gray framing around the tail lights and reshaped the glowing pieces.
"Where we're going, we don't need reindeer."
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year...no matter which new year you end up in.
"My name is Darth Vader. I am an extraterrestrial from the planet Vulcan!”
A quick vignette using elements from my forthcoming LEGO Back to the Future video. The background and scenery is made up of my custom S.N.O.T. road, which you can see in some of my additional uploads.
The Packard was a make of car in the 1950s.
Emmett Brown owned a cream-colored Packard Custom Eight Victoria and let Marty McFly borrow it for the Enchantment Under the Sea Dance. The car became the scene of the scuffle between Biff Tannen, Lorraine Baines, and George McFly.
When Marty returned for the second time to 1955, he drove Doc home after he fainted.
The Packard's license plate number was 8N39742.

My favourite car from the trilogy of the 'Back to the Future' films is the Packard Convertible owned by the 1955 era Doc Brown. Not necessarily obvious to recent viewers of the film, the Packard is one of the subtle references to the privilege background that Doc Brown would have come from. The Packard of the post-war period were a challenge to Cadillac as the very best car one could buy. The Custom Eight Victoria sitting toward the higher end of the Packard range. The 1948 was the first new Post-War Packards, still utilising the pre-war chassis and straight-eight engine.
One of the other markers of Doc Brown's status in 1955 is his house. The following are a couple of interesting links regarding both his house and the garage used in the first film:
Doc Brown house from the film is a fantastic early 29th century home; 'Robert R. Blacker House' (no relation). I encourage the reader to investigate this house further, as it is really exceptionally finished.

The second home used was 'Gamble House', designed by the same Architects:

This Lego miniland scale 1948 Packard Custom Eight Victoria Convertible (Back to the Future I & II) has been created for Flickr LUGNuts' 96th Build Challenge - The 8th Birthday, titled - 'Happy Crazy Eight Birthday, LUGNuts' - where all previous build challenges are available to build to. This model is built to the LUGNuts 45th Build Challenge, - "Everything Under the Sun" - a challenge to build any vehicle with an open roof, showering the occupants with sunshine (or rain if there is no closing roof mechanism). The model is also built to the 6th build challenge, - "Your Claim to Fame" - a challenge encouraging the builder to create an iconic model with some level of popular culture reference (to ensure lots of interweb exposure) -
