Because I do nearly everything in 3s, this is the first MOC in a mixel-joint-based miniland plus series with heavy emphasis on color and emotion. The vignette takes up a ~32x32 footprint in a circle. Completed in March 2023. Only uses the following colors: Black, Dark Blue, Dark Azure, Medium Azure, Dark Bley, Light Bley, Light Aqua, and White. Won Best Vignette at Brickworld Chicago 2023. The Dino Tail addiction is real.
The MOC series I'm most proud of is my Moments of Melancholy series: presented to you here together all in one place. In a way, it's my take on the #ColorWheel challenge. Started in early 2023 and completed June 2024. Displayed for the first time all together at Brickworld 2024. From left to right:
🔻 Birth and Rebirth
💛 True Contrite
🌳 Growing On You
💙 Die in Your Arms
💜 Rivers of Mercy
⬛ "Well Done", from Grief to the Coffin Boards
There were initially just three separate builds and no intention of it all to tell a story, but it's been a happy accident that I feel like it does now (vaguely) from left to right. It was a lot of fun to dream up different forms, shapes, and compositions to contrast the others as the series progressed.
Be sure to checkout my individual posts and reels on all of these builds. Thank you so much for all your support.
This was a detail of a house model in the Italian section of Miniland in Legoland Windsor, UK. I really liked taking shots like this one that have an uncanny level realism at first glance. The weather on the bricks also adds to the effect.
What was only supposed to be a series of 3 models, spun into a total of 6. This is my 4th build in my "Moments of Melancholy" series. While all the others had some sort of direct inspiration, whether a song or a piece of artwork, this one was just off the dome.
Only uses the colors white, light bley, dark bley, black, red, dark red, and coral. Model started in August 2023, finished in May 2024, and photographed in March of 2025. The top petals use ~10 sets of the dragon wings from set 70653 Firstbourne (Part # 38765 on Bricklink).
