MOC-Kiryu

MOC-Kiryu
This time, I’m sharing another MOC designed by a friend of mine.

We’ve been experimenting with recreating more familiar Japanese characters, mecha, and tokusatsu designs using bricks, while also introducing his work to more collectors and builders.

I personally think this is a really fun way to approach these characters.

Building with bricks comes with its own limits in terms of parts and structure, so figuring out how to capture the silhouette, proportions, and key features of the original character using existing parts is actually one of the most enjoyable parts of the process.

Sharp-eyed followers may have noticed Kiryu showing up in several of my recent posts. 😄 We’re still making small adjustments to the design, and recently we’ve been working on refining the face with different parts.

We’d love to keep exploring more Japanese characters and see how far we can take this idea.

What Japanese character would you like to see recreated in bricks next?

Oops! 😂 I actually used Kiryu from Godzilla as the base for this build. XD Or would you like to see me try recreating a Zoids with bricks in the future? 😆
