How 2 mocs can vaguely or closely resemble each other!
Early in my blog I had 2 mocs that I had thought were 1 of a kind in appearance, but now I'm not so sure! I think that 2 mocs I did resemble (obviously not as good and unintentionally) professional versions of mocs done by others. 1 moc I did looks like the other moc up close; the second moc looks like the other moc but only from a distance.
Example 1...Lego's new official botanical set:
Below is My lego moc that I made before I saw the formal one above: (I'm not sure if lego had their model in the works when i made my moc, but I don't think it was??)
In summary this is a case where 2 mocs are so similar but created by 2 different people. I think they look alike when viewing each up close and next to each other.
An example of 2 mocs that appear to be similar (from a distance), but are in actually completely different side by side is in the moc below that I had made in a previous blog from random pieces and with lego pick a brick pieces. At the time I thought "who would make something that abstract" with the appearance of long legs on a skateboard.
Below is a moc by Sean Kenney that I saw in his book "Building Amazing Creations" in a piece...titled "here kitty kitty". From a distance the picture below shows legs on stilts and platforms that vaguely resemble the appearance of long legs on my moc above.
Pic above is from the Sean Kenney book below
I think that the similarities in the 2 mocs can be seen from a distance.
In summary I think it's so interesting that 2 different mocs can resemble each other either from a distance or close up.
As a side note to the Sean Kenney pic "here kitty kitty" shown above, my Kitty found interest...
