LEGO MOC of the Week - Akai Shiro by AC Pin
18th Aug 2016
The picture we have of this week's featured MOC is only a section of what is an expanded version of a previous MOC. You got all that?
Our most featured MOC builder, AC Pin put this together for Brickfair Virginia, which was about 2 weeks ago. According to a Google search, he originally started this in 2011 because the Brothers Brick blogged about it, which you can see here. He's built a couple different versions of it since. You can check them all out if you search Akai Shiro on Flickr or search through his Flickr profile.
At BrickFair VA he took advantage of our Samurai accessories when he built an expanded version of Akai Shiro. In front of the gate of this beautiful Japanese structure you can see an awesome Samurai warrior decked out in pearl gold Samurai Armor, with a matching Samurai Helmet and Samurai Kusazuri, and holding a pearl gold Katana.
Check out all of BrickWarriors's Samurai accessories here.
Bonus!: You can also watch a video of the version of Akai Shiro that was built for Brick Fest Live NJ last year here.
Finally, here is a picture of AC Pin with the full Akai Shiro MOC at BrickFair VA earlier this month:
