I know this is not a hard-core MOC showing sort of forum but there are a few popping up here and there (I know i have loaded up a few over the last year) and it is one of the end results of all the purchasing we all do after all - Anyway i hope no one minds too much.
After a long time planning i finally got around to building some Discworld MOC's and for once they actually turned out exactly as i planned.
There were two steps to this:
1st - The figures. For the most part these are all standard Lego parts mixed and matched to create unique figures. There were a few custom bits needed and I sourced these through firestartoys, namely the orange paint job on the Librarian, Rincewind’s Red hat and Susan’s white hear.
2nd - The locations. I really wanted to keep the builds 'micro' sized, 8x6 max and had this idea that each could stand on its own or be linked modular style to another so as to build out a larger display, which left me working out which were the most iconic location and figure combination I could realistically create.
And so we got:
Granny Weatherwax with Grebo (technically not her cat but hey) in a 'Classic' witches setting
Death and Susan in the black and white bathroom in deaths house
Rincewind and the Luggage on their travels somewhere on the disc
Samual Vims on patrol in Ank-Morpork
Lord Vetinary at his desk
The Librarian in the Unseen University Library
Anyway hope you like them - I do :)
