Here is a good example of what SNOT allows to achieve to give an appearance model to an MOC.

This Tie Advanced, which took two months of work from its creator, benefits from a high-level finish and an impressive level of detail. The rendering is ultimately very close to that of a model or a model of the type produced by Hasbro in its range of Star Wars toys.
One can even wonder if these MOCs with SNOT finish are still in the LEGO spirit. It would indeed seem that the gap is widening between the techniques used by MOCeurs of all kinds and the manufacturer who often uses SNOT sparingly.
The most recent models marketed by LEGO retain their share of visible studs, which remain the only visible indicator that we are still dealing with a construction set ...

LEGO does not communicate or very little about the alternative models that can be built with the original sets and the licensed products are sold as toys that can be assembled once and then have fun with or display them. . Creativity is not necessarily put forward and there is a paradox here between the mode of marketing and promotion of LEGO toys and the diversion of the primary function of these toys by the community of MOCeurs, who favor the use of parts for reproduction.

He insists the guy, he is on track in all the competitions of the moment and it is for the contest Wheels of Justice organized by FBTB that he designed this original BatMobile.

Personally, I like this MOC which makes an original use of certain parts (I let you zoom on the photos of his blog to find out which ones) and I have a weakness for the cockpit which I find very retro-modern. The BatMobile can accommodate a minifigure and the canopy opens like a real ...

Finally, there is a little Mad Max side to this BatMobile. Good luck to LEGOManiac on this contest.

There are MOCs that stand out for their appearance clean, clean, smooth. 2 Much Caffeine proposes here a realization in this vein, where despite a reduced scale, one has the impression to be entitled to a MOC in full details.

The effect of snow / ice / mountain sides studless is excellent in simplicity, the ion gun and the generator are recognizable at first glance and the two AT-ATs although a little clumsy for my taste dress the scene.

I especially appreciate the incredible simplicity of the hangar door. In the end, a very beautiful MOC which, with carefully chosen pieces, reconstitutes a scene immediately recognizable despite the format micro scale.

The title got you reading these lines, so let's go: Imagine a set containing 99 Stormtroopers and 1 Black-Chrome Darth Vader ... Recognize that would be tempting, especially when you look at the image above ...

Stop dreaming, this is just the second great idea of ​​the day on Cuusoo which definitely surprises me today.

On the other hand, I would not comment on the speech of the guy who posted this idea on Cuusoo : He is scattered in conjectures on the fact that if his idea was really published in the form of a set by LEGO, he would donate his 1% of royalties to the victims of Fukushima ...

Although I am always sensitive to humanitarian actions, I do not necessarily adhere to this kind of awareness technique, however sincere it is ... So I want my Stormtroopers, the rest is none of my business.

Go take a look at this project at this address and decide for yourself if you should support it, anyway there must be a 0,00001% chance that someday some guy from LEGO will take a look. And even less that I can get my bucket of Stormtroopers for a decent price ....

A nice MOC from Nick roth with this scene where Gandalf arrives by cart in Hobbiton, a village where Bilbo, Frodo and Samwise reside ....

This MOC is remarkable for the design and density of the vegetation and the design of the tree largely inspired by the work of Derfel cadarn. The minifigs presented are arbitrary but the scene resumes well the magical side of that of the film, where the calm and the greenery contrast with the events which will follow ...
