Simple is Beautiful

Simplicity often times yields some of the most beautiful objects and this MOC is a statement in beautiful simplicity.  Eurobricks user CoolerTD has entered this gorgeous arch in the ‘DoubleBrick’ contest where builders must only use simple bricks and plates in their creation.  This MOC takes us back to the days when all we had as LEGO builders were simple bricks and plates and shows us that we don’t need fancy specialty pieces to create something beautiful.

I love the wide variety of building techniques that were used to achieve the detail on the front of the arch.  There is excellent use of the TOPLESs building technique along with great use of selective compression to achieve recognizable detail at a small scale.  Be sure to stop over to Eurobricks and let CoolerTD know what you think about this great architectural MOC.

    This ornate creation got double coverage (my fault), but I think it’s well deserved. I especially like how the tiles wrap around the inner arch. Impressive design!

    Great minds think alike Brickster! :-) Glad to see I’m not the only one who appreciates this great work.
