Leave Me Alone

After watching Michael Jackson’s ‘Leave Me Alone’ short film, I was fascinated by the set pieces and colors throughout, and thought to myself: “Could I build that out of LEGO bricks?” This build is the beginning voyage for a larger piece that will surround the rocket itself in due time.

• Michael is the pilot here, and he’s joined by his pet animals, Bubbles the chimpanzee and Muscles the snake.

• SNOT (studs not on top) technique was used here to get the shaping as accurate as possible, and luckily was achieved in dark green, a rarer color than most in LEGO’s catalog.

• Bubbles’ minifig is comprised of a gorilla head from a CMF minifig, arms from a Minnie Mouse minifig, and torso from Looney Tunes’ Marvin the Martian minifig.

• As a nod to the video, I included a clever creation of the Elephant Man’s bones with a skeleton and elephant head from another CMF minifig (I was very proud of myself for this one).
