Sci-fi Portal Forest Scene LEGO MOC
Reading Time: 2 minutes
This lego moc is inspired by all the movies and games that features portals. I built the gate a while back but never really “completed” the scene. Now I have and I’m really happy with it! The ramp works well, my illegal build control panel works, and the trees are something new for me. Let me know what you think!

About this LEGO MOC build
The ramp works well I think. But, making it an odd number of studs was not originally planned but I feel it really added to the look of the build and makes it way more interesting that than being 6 or 4 wide as I’d originally considered.
And if you look at the control panel, it’s done using handcuffs and a wheel clip. Now I’m not sure if that’s a legal or illegal build technique, but I like how it came out!
One other thing in this build is the trees. The one on the left uses some lego techniques I haven’t tried before but figured out based on a couple of examples I found online. I like how it gives them shape and angle that really brings them to life.
