Building a brighter tomorrow with LEGO® bricks

Moby-Dick, or The Whale

My newest MOC is a book, built originally for the September BayLUG meeting building contest, where the topic was “books.” Since I’d just started reading Moby-Dick by Herman Melville, I decided to build that.

I built a book with a ship and a whale's tail for the BayLUG September 2026 building contest (Theme: Books),. All contestants won a prize - yay, participation!

I released a video about the model which you can see here:

And I’ve uploaded photos, including instructions if you want to build it, to Flickr:

I’ve submitted them to Rebrickable as well, and will add that link here when it’s approved.

And how did the contest go? I won, but then so did everyone else – there was no voting. Participation!!!
