    The Court of the Crimson King This project came about by pure chance. While building, I usually listen to music or some podcast; while I was building Inum, the song "The Court of the Crimson Ring" came on. Nothing strange happened until the song arrived to the Yellow Jester section. Somehow, the image of a strange yellow creature playing with a puppet formed in my mind and I thought "Wait, I can build a moc for this guy". And that's how it started, after the Jester came all the other characters, one after another. Crimson King Yellow Jester Pattern Juggler Black Queen Purple Piper 05/09/22

    On a small Italian group on Destiny I once found a user with a Bionicle-themed nickname. I've completely forgotten the exact nickname now, but I remember it was a Bionicle one

    Crimson King Choosing the right idea for the protagonist of the song was not easy, I wanted to create something unusual and terrifying. In the end I decided to build a "skeleton with organs" to create something creepy. In my mind, the dark red sections of the Crimson King (including the sword) are supposed to be sections of "petrified" blood. For the organs I used a variety of different colors and pieces: the stomach is a frog, the heart is a MiniDoll head, in the instestines there is a Classic Space air tank and for the brain I used dark pink Minifigures arms. For the throne I used a rather simple system build, it's shattered at the back to create the idea that someone (or something) hit the throne a long time ago to hit the one who was sitting there. 03/09/22

    Yellow Jester The last character mentioned in the song "The Court of the Crimson King" by King Crimson, the Yellow Jester was the spark that inspired me to build a series of mocs following this song. The Jester is playing with a puppet, following the text description exactly. For the smiling part... he is smiling his way. For the jester's hat I used the yellow rubber piece from the Ben 10 series, Jet Ray's wings. 01/09/22

    Pattern Juggler The third character in the song "The Court of the Crimson King" by King Crimson, the Pattern Juggler is the smallest of all. For the body of this creature I used Toxic Reapa's mask, the small antennae can hold a pair of balljoint eyes from the Chinese New Year sets. For the juggler's hands I used two lime kraata while the dark green ball was made by connecting two Toa Matau canister lids together. 30/08/22

    Black Queen The second character from the song "The Court of the Crimson King" by King Crimson. For the queen I chose to use a different alien style, this time the character is based on an insectoid, the basic concept is an ant queen. It's a pretty simple build, the only non-black pieces being the eyes and the three T-Bars at the top of the head. To cover the lower part of the body, I used Hordika Whenua's mask. 28/08/22

    Thanks! It was quite difficult to build the Piper because there aren't many construction pieces in dark purple... well, there aren't many pieces in this color outside the construction world either, I had to compromise with other similar colors

    Purple Piper This was the first moc in a series of five based on the song "The Court of the Crimson King" by King Crimson, the Purple Piper is the first character mentioned in this song. I wanted to create an alien fairy playing a hyper-intricate flute, for the face I used a magenta leaf and four pairs of cherries for the eyes. The magenta hands are from the Ben 10 construction line, the notes on the end of the flute are from the Trolls World Tour series. 26/08/22

    Trinuma Built for an Order of Mata Nui Collab, Trinuma has one of my favorite masks, the Great Mask of Charisma, that always looks like an elk or deer head to my eyes. For this reason, I chose to create a more accurate deer/moose head for my character. Initially I created a simple humanoid following the actual combiner set, but after a while I thought it would look even better if Trinuma was a real deer/moose. To add a more "elegant" and regal appearance to Trinuma, I decided to base my version on a Peryton, a mystical centaur-like creature with bird wings and the body of a deer. For the shield I used the lid of a Kraata canister. 10/08/22

    Myoviridae A bacteriophage made from bonkles, that's all. As a child I always looked at this kind of creature (if it is possible to classify a bacteriophage as a living thing) as if it were a robot, the strange shape of its body always fascinated me. Following this old idea, I decided to rapresent in a moc this thought, since this version is a robot, I thought it would be cool if this bacteriophage could shoot a DNA beam instead of injecting its own DNA into the bacteria. The transparent base at the end of the DNA beam represents a microscope slide. To create the bacteria I used two half-dome pieces that can be found in Toa Ignika (in black), in this case the blue trans pieces are found in the Barraki Deepsea Patrol playset. 08/07/22

    Vidrar Built for the First Round of Biocup 2022, the theme was Kaiju, Subtheme Aquatic. I created a microscale undersea station where humans captured one of Vidrar's pups... now she has found the human base and is very angry. For the fin I used one of Ben 10's dark blue rubber wings while the pups were created using a Visorak foot. 16/06/22

    It's quite fun to play this game but as you already said the real problems are the microtransactions, it's full of stuff only accessible after paying real money. Yes, you can unlock some brick packs/vehicles during the campaign, but they are not the same kind of rewards you can find in the store.

    Ophiocordyceps Unilateralis Built for the Preliminary Round of Biocup 2022, the theme was Nature so I decided to represent Nature's only true constant: death. This is the infamous "Zombie Fungus," a terrible fungus that infects and controls the minds of ants with the sole purpose of spreading the maximum amount of spores to reproduce. Infected ants are controlled to go to the highest possible altitude (such as atop a plant) to maximize the spread of spores, I decided to add a small branch to better represent the final moments of an infected ant. For the leaves I used a couple of Baranus masks, I've always wanted to use them as leaves in one of my mocs, this was the perfect opportunity. 27/05/22

    Inum This moc was born by pure chance. One day I was playing with some macaroni bricks, after a couple of connections I created a cube with rounded edges. I like that shape, so I decided to build a moc around that cube. First I placed a tridax pod inside the cube, this construction reminded me of Magic's Mana Vault card, so I added some chains and a circular base under the floating cube. This sanctuary is also a motorized moc, I thought it would be cool to add motion to better represent the floating aspect of the cube, as if it were a living object. 52085749345_67e0fe838d_vm.mp4 The only construction based builds in this moc are the slugs, I used a ccbs shell as the actual shell and a dino neck as the body of the slugs. 19/05/22

    Tony the Stinkbug I don't remember exactly why I built him, he's a stinkbug with a gas mask who likes to skate and paint graffiti. For the small drawings I used some Vidiyo 2x2 printed tiles, for the tree I used Chewbacca's CCBS printed shells. For the two spray paints I used a pair of round bricks with stickers from an Agents set. 28/04/22

    Thanks! It's one of my favorite themes... actually I should build more often following this theme

    Pastlahniul After building Oyonidae somehow I had a lot of these balljoint eyes from the Chinese New Year sets, so I decided to find a purpose for them as well. First I created a "circle" of eyes and tentacles, once completed I noticed that this circle perfectly fit one of the Star Wars planets, at that moment this creature became a living planet. Once the four large red tentacles are removed, it is even possible to close the planet again without any problem. 15/04/22

    Lhultiren Moc built for a Great Beings collab, this creature is based on the Flatwoods monster. It's a very simple build, I used the curved red panel to create the classic Flatwoods monster head, apart from the axles and technic connectors it's completely built with only system pieces. For the yellowish robe I used the Vidiyo rubber handle piece. 01/04/22

    Epyft Another moc based on Galidor pieces, for this flying creature I used Euripides' torso as Epyft's body. The two eyes are made from a pair of Zamor spheres and are connected to the body with a pair of Harry Potter magic wands while the wings are made using two dark green Pteranodon wings. For the floral base, I used an assortment of different pieces: there are bionicle masks and armor and pieces and there are systems parts such as Exo-Force throwable discs. 02/03/22

    The actual scale of this moc is incredible

    Stormer X.L. Built for the Hero Factory Special Ops Collab, I decided to reinterpret Stomer XL, turning its XL model into an XL gadget. This Stormer is an expert in infiltration, its XL backpack is a submarine truster, useful for infiltrating marine structures. The helmet attached to the backpack is fully articulated, you can open or remove it from Stormer. Yes, basically it's based on Solid Snake from MGS1, I even built a Famas just for him. 19/02/22

    Kabutops This was built for a Pokemon contest hosted by my Italian LUG in collaboration with Nintendo to promote Pokemon Legends: Arceus. The rules to follow for this contest were simple: build something inspired by the Pokemon franchise. So I decided to build Kabutops (and Kabuto) using almost only Construction pieces. For the blades I used Vamprah's wings, the only system pieces in this moc were used to create the small rock on which Kabuto stands. I ended up coming second in this contest. 11/02/22

    Sahaquiel The 10th angel from Neon Genesis Evangelion. I didn't use a single construction piece to create this moc... well, if the bar clips are to be considered construction pieces, it's not completely a system moc. The three small colored figures in front of the angel are a nanoscale version of the three EVAs, they're just a couple of plates and some slopes. 26/01/22
