Dexter

There were many cartoons playing in my house not so long ago. Luckily both my boys were young during a bit of a resurgence in cartoon production. The likes of Spongebob, RugRats, Ed Edd & Eddy and many more were new shows. One of my favorites to watch with them was Dexter's Laboratory. It had great writing, funny scenarios and excellent animation. This MOC of the title character by builder GolPlaysWithLego was a nice little dose of nostalgia this morning.

Laboratory

A great MOC doesn't need to be huge, or elaborate. It doesn't need to be an epic battle, or a nod to pop culture, or the latest fad, or any pre-conceived notion. Sometimes a great MOC is just a very clean and simple interior. No flash, no gimmicks, just clever construction, attention to detail and fantastic building skill. This laboratory by builder Heksu is just such a MOC. There are other shots of it with a character in the scene, but I like this one, simple and elegant.

Breaking Bad

I'm probably going to get grief for this, but I've never watched Breaking Bad. I mean I've seen some of it, when I was in the room with others watching, but I've never been a viewer. That doesn't mean I don't know what it's about and can't appreciate this brilliant MOC by Disco86. This thing is at once super clean and ridiculously detailed. I don't know the particulars of this machinery, but I believe it works.

Because Science!

Getting the detail you need into a small diorama can be tricky, but Hen Peril has managed to pull it off in this science lab with great success. The shelves are excellent as is the microscope and the air filters (or is it AC?) on the wall. The high ceilings and skylights are a perfect touch as well.
