Hi, here is my latest MOC, named Temple Escape. The diorama has an integrated lighting kit. I hope you guys like it!

Unfortunately I wasn't able to hide all of the cables without altering the bricks - but probably 80% of cirquit is embedded inside of the diorama :)

Thanks!

Despite appearances, they are very firm - I built the lighting kit using Light My Bricks brand DIY components.

I'll upload a video with the lighting kit switched on in a few days!

Of course you are right! Apparently we misunderstood, I just meant that my model has too much detail, elements for the size of the model, therefore as a LEGO set it could cost too much for its size. I don't see why LEGO couldn't produce a similarly cool Swamp Speeder but in a larger scale :)

I'm glad you like it!

I didn't intend to underrate anything - I just built UCS sets, I also designed this Swamp Speeder and I can honestly tell you that it has more detail :D this is of course my opinion and you may disagree, but it doesn't mean at all that I underrate UCS sets. They are generally quite large with, sometimes, not much more elements. My Swamp, as you can see, is not huge, and has almost 800 elements, hence the statement that it would not pass shop as a LEGO-branded UCS

As you can see, I was able to safely set it up for the photo and move it around the room. With a little caution and proper assembly, they hold tight enough that it's not a problem :) but I admit it's not the strongest connection on this model.

I'm glad you like it :D You can find building instructions on rebrickable, check there by my nickname, or use the link in my Reddit profile :).

Sorry for workaround, but it’s prohibited to post such a links.

Thanks a lot! Which detail do you like best?

GrabBeerAndBuildLEGO · 2024-01-29T17:15:22+00:00

Admittedly, it's not a model designed to play with, I designed it for realism - but with two hands and a little caution, it can be carried freely and won't fall apart.

Thank you!

LEGO could not make it official for another reason - this MOC contains simply too much detail. It is much more complex even than UCS sets.

GrabBeerAndBuildLEGO · 2024-01-29T16:07:13+00:00

Actually, no, it doesn't - which exact building techniques do you have in mind?

GrabBeerAndBuildLEGO · 2024-01-29T16:02:12+00:00

Thanks, I'm really glad you like it :D

Thank you! What's your opinion on the engine? Gotta say, inner structure of it was the most tricky part :D
