More of Modelling”).
Featured models from Grugliasco Fest 2026
Here are Alina’s picks of fan-built LEGO models from Grugliasco Fest 2026.
Beyond the ruins by Marco
“This is my favourite MOCMOC stands for "My Own Creation" which refers to custom LE... More. It represents the end of the world and I love all the details. He’s a great builder, very good at storytelling.” Marco’s scene of a ruined city is superbly done, with plenty of details to spot.
AGV 575 .Italo by legofsmocs
This LEGO train by @legofsmocs captures the prototype well, and includes a who catalogue of clever part usage to achieve the curves of the original AGV 575. Beautiful work!
Camper model by Denis Palladin
This brilliant LEGO camper van model by Denis (who isn’t on social media) features a full interior, and the lights he used are actually leftovers from the a real camper van his dad helped build. There’s lots of little details like the sponge in the sink, the spinning seat, or the hidden stove.
Medieval Church by @lelecastle_1986
“I chose this one especially because of the rock work. He said that the MOC is actually much bigger and it includes a castle too, but could not bring it to the show.”
The landscaping is really impressive – we wonder how many bricks are in the support structure for the rockwork!
