Awesome Star Trek Next Gen MOCs

Star Trek:TNG s01e04

This dude (Chen Wang) in Hong Kong has been spending most of his time during quarantine making some very cool Star Trek: The Next Generation LEGO MOCs.

His initial plan seemed to have been to one from every episode. He has a long road ahead of him and most likely “real” life will get in the way at some point. But for now enjoy what he has brought to us thus far.

He is using LDD and then rendering the images in RenderMan. He could just use Studio to both build and render but that is neither here nor there.

The majority of the builds cannot be built IRL due to colors for certain part not existing. I hope he gets back to making these but there hasn’t been a new update in the past few months.

I originally found him thanks to TrekMovie.com and just had to share them. I will probably attempt to recreate some of these in actual bricks making the necessary changes to do a real life build.

GoggleWorks Building 6

Digital renders of building six at the GoggleWorks.

I decided to play with the animation renders in Studio.

Reference photos for the project.

Another Addition to the Cemetery

As a fan of Poe (as seen by some of my MOCs) I follow a few Poe related pages on Facebook. The other day The Virtual Poe Toaster shared a photo of a really cool tombstone so I had to add it to my LEGO cemetery.

This is the grave of Dr. Betts in Trenton, NJ. He must have been a Poe fan as well.

Charles Evans Cemetery

I already have a pretty large LEGO cemetery and nowhere to display it, but I am reworking it now to include monuments inspired by real cemeteries.

First up are a few from a local cemetery, the Charles Evans Cemetery in Reading, PA.

I started out with renders in Studio and I am now in the process of building them.

First images are the renders followed by the reference photos I used to create the MOCs.
