Tonights moc

 I took a bag of 3 lego police cars I bought and made an moc.  It was an el Camino and station wagon Combination.





Classic space feel present also.  What I'm most happy with is using a locking technique with the gray 1x4 as it fused 1/3 parts of the body.

Dumbest lego moc but I liked it...

 Dumbest lego moc but I liked it...

I hate green pieces but I had a bunch of them so I started messing with them and came up with this model...it's the oasis found in the midst of knockoff building blocks.

I added a sky background too (below)
So that's my desert oasis...I used to hate green but I'm warming up to it.

Where to get ideas for MOCS part 2

 I forgot to put some other places that give ideas for mocs (I had done another post recently on this topic, so I'm making this part 2!)

1) Board game boxes (box art)

At target there are board games with good art and ideas.  Last year there was a Pan Am board game with a really neat car idea 







The Hasbro u build connect 4 above kept appearing at thrift stores.  I was able to build a great collection of the blue beams.  They have good clutch power and are good for making a model base or I'm hoping to make a neoclassic space building..even though the blue is lighter than I would prefer

2) Similar building sets..(non Lego)




3) puzzles/box art for puzzles











4) paintings

In being out to furniture stores, hotels, nursing homes, there are multiple paintings I've seen with potential ideas in them
This painting is taken from a model seen at Hobby Lobby.  It's a good view of a cockpit from the side.
 


5) toy aisles...hard to do with TRU (toys r us) gone!






 










I like the style of levels/different rooms and levels!


I think the use of small wheels on the giant truck is a good concept



6) kids books..mainly seek and find or encyclopedia 



Below is a pull out poster from an encyclopedia..love the bus and tanker truck!


7) seek and find computer games subway airport




8) cross section books

These give great ideas on the inner structure of objects...i.e. for the Titanic released by Lego



My favorite cross section came from a book when I was young...it is from Richard Scarry's book "What do people do all day"





9) The Nasa channel 


10) model train or airport layouts




11) Towers or unique structures in area










12) Encyclopedias or children encyclopedias...often in thrift store books i.e. trains, aviation



13) seasonal displays or inventory 

Every year, Menards has cool o scale buildings...my favorite is a salt factory and power plant.  Love the colors and rails!


14) model toy catalogs 


15) Playmobil 

I like their airport sets for the open parts in the back i.e. hospital and the airport designs





I love the observation deck idea!

So all of these pictures show my favorite places to get ideas!



And be a kid again!!!
