For his local (Cologne) LEGO brand store recently, Joe Klang (-derjoe-) built a scene from Gran Torino. What I find particularly attractive about this scene is how inorganic it feels, while reflecting the movie so well. It almost feels like a platform game version of the film with the straight lines, diagonal grid and textural elements. And the neat suburban lawn feels even more sterile than in real life.
Thanks to Alex Jones for the heads up
The car itself is beautiful, but my favorite bit is the studs vs tiles lawn-mowing effect.
Definitely agree about the inorganic look and how it contributes to the sterile feel.
What a great movie, what a great scene. The slanted studs has a brilliant effect. (Also the gnomes are an innovative touch.)
Oh, yes! I love the movie, love LEGO, love Clint, love this MOC! Perfect!
So much about this is great. But I have to say, the car is probably my favorite part. I had to look closely to even start to pick out the individual elements. Fantastic MOC.
