During the actual build, collecting the parts can also prove to be harder since they do not all come from just 1 or 2 official sets.Ī sample of this is the Seamstress’ shop. The disadvantage of it is that the creator starts from zero and work their way up until it is completed. The creator also has an unlimited range of options with existing LEGO® parts during the design phase. It stands out among other official sets as it is not commonly seen by LEGO® fans on LEGO® boxes or from other designers’ MOCs. The advantage of this type of MOC is its unique look and function.
The whole concept comes from the designer. Its aesthetics and/or function does not come from any official LEGO® set. It can be based on real life buildings or purely from imagination. The disadvantage to modification is its tendency to look very similar to other MOCs created by other designers therefore, compared to other variations of the MOCs, it does not stand out as much. The designer only needs to improve by adding parts to it and making it look & function better than the original. The advantage of this type of MOC is that there is already a base set to work on.
The MOC still reflected the overall look and purpose of the set but had a complete layout and function of a modular building. An example of it is the modular privet drive which was inspired by the official set 75968. Modification is taking an existing official set and adding parts to it and enhancing its overall look and/or function without totally deviating from its original design. Although it’s not official, I’ve categorized my MOCs into three 1) modification, 2) original design and 3) alternate build. I’ve realized that there is more than just one type of MOC. I neither had a plan nor a target finished product.Īs I learned more about MOCs through videos, articles, social media posts, etc. Like most LEGO® fans, when I started with the hobby of rebuilding LEGO® sets into my own creations (MOCS), it was mostly impulsive grabbing the pieces and playing around trying to create a certain look.
