Description
I’m beyond excited to introduce my LEGO MOC of the legendary Time Circuits Display from Back to the Future – my all-time favorite movie! This project has been a true passion, blending my love for LEGO with the magic of one of the greatest sci-fi adventures ever made. Seeing the control panel from Doc Brown’s DeLorean in LEGO form is a dream come true.
Building this MOC took time (pun intended). Every brick and sticker had to be perfect to ensure an accurate and detailed representation of the original. The seven-segment displays are built to perfectly replicate the movie prop, with the exact dates from the first test with Einstein the dog:
- Last Time Departed: OCT 26 1985 01:20
- Present Time: OCT 26 1985 01:22
- Destination Time: OCT 26 1985 01:21
Why You’ll Love It
- Perfect for Display: An iconic movie prop recreated with LEGO bricks, ideal for showcasing your Back to the Future fandom.
- Screen-Accurate Details: Every label and number has been carefully designed to match the DeLorean’s Time Circuits.
- Sticker Set Available: The build includes stickers to replicate the seven-segment display with high accuracy.
- A Nostalgic Tribute: Relive Marty and Doc’s time-traveling adventures through this faithful LEGO recreation.
The Building Experience
I spent countless hours tweaking and perfecting every detail – much like how I used to rewind the VHS tape over and over to rewatch classic scenes from the movie:
- Marty’s “Johnny B. Goode” solo (probably what made me start playing guitar!)
- The Clock Tower scene
- Marty’s “My name is Darth Vader” trick
- The DeLorean’s first jump to 1955
This build is not just a LEGO model; it’s a trip down memory lane for every Back to the Future fan. Whether you love LEGO, time travel, or 80s movies, this Time Circuits Display will be a standout addition to your collection!
Future Additions
I’m considering making extra instructions for different dates – maybe even a way to customize the display to any time of your choosing (although I might run into some trouble with Nov 🤣).
