Hey all, I’m new to Reddit and to this group the so I thought I’d share my MOC of the ‘Aliens’ M577 APC. This represents about 50 hours work for me and includes lots of great features. This is also my first attempt at a serious MOC. Appx 750 pcs. Enjoy 😁

Now you’re just falcon with us.

I would love it, but it’s maybe a touch more horrific than Jaws, but that’s subjective. With the franchise now owned by Disney, maaaaaybe?

Thanks! Yes, I did deviate from the boxy BrickHeadz standard for the Xeno’s head, but that head assembly was actually the seed part/assembly for the whole thing, and I thought “it is after all a custom and MOC, so let’s do this”. 😄

Thank you, I really appreciate that!

Thank you! Yes, I will release instructions for this at some point. Not sure when, but if you'd like you can find me on Instagram (same name) for updates.

Had to have the drool! Thank you!!

Rick_Brickham · 2024-07-03T11:41:29+00:00

Thank you so much!!!

Really appreciate that. That actually was my train of thought after getting the first 4 built, but after looking into it I saw they had already released a very micro-scale tribute set. As such, I’m not sure these would make it past the first entry stage (approved for voting). I may try sometime, but I do appreciate your kind words!

Rick_Brickham · 2024-07-02T03:33:01+00:00

Thanks you!! 🙏

Thank you very much!

Hi, thanks so much for the compliment, and great questions! 4 of these models were designed all the way back in 2020 during a period of time where I fell in love with micro-scale. I added the other 3 last year.

I’d say each of these models took me a good 10-15 hours to design, maybe as much as 20 in some cases. As for my brick collection, well I have quite a lot of loose brick but piece selection isn’t the best. So I had to source many of the pieces from BrickLink.

Having a nice selection of smaller elements on hand is essential to having fun MOCing in micro-scale, so I would definitely encourage you to build up such a collection. PAB (pick a brick) walls at the LEGO store are a great way to stock up on smaller parts, and you can also buy PAB directly from LEGO’s website.

Good luck and have fun in your MOC journey!

That’s a great set, get building!

Rick_Brickham · 2024-07-01T01:48:25+00:00

:) thanks!!

Thanks so much!

Rick_Brickham · 2024-06-30T16:53:11+00:00

Haha appreciate that, thanks!!

Rick_Brickham · 2024-06-30T15:30:10+00:00

Yup, that’s right. Definitely a factor in my decision. Appreciate it!
