LEGO Fan Creates Impressive €6.50 Mater MOC from Cars
A dedicated LEGO fan, known as besbasdesign, has created an impressive MOC (My Own Creation) of Tow Mater from Disney Pixar's Cars. The model, consisting of 413 pieces, captures the character's distinctive appearance and features, and is available for €6.50 on Rebrickable.
The MOC measures approximately 8.0 × 18.8 × 9.3 centimeters, making it compatible with Speed Champions scale vehicles. It flawlessly recreates Mater's weathered appearance using different brown tones and blue panels, capturing his patchwork body panels and goofy grin with prominent buck teeth. Custom stickers transform the windshield into Mater's expressive eyes and add authentic signage to the doors.
The build includes a functional tow assembly, featuring a working hook attached to a pivoting arm using gray Technic beams and connectors. The model also includes the A-113 Easter egg on the license plate, a detail appreciated by hardcore Pixar fans. Building the MOC requires bricks from approximately 3-4 mid-sized LEGO sets, with some specialty elements needing specific hunting.
besbasdesign's Mater MOC is a testament to the creativity and dedication of the LEGO community. It achieves screen accuracy and personality, something official LEGO Cars sets have struggled with, and is a worthy addition to any LEGO Cars collection. The MOC's instructions are available for €6.50 on Rebrickable, making it a reasonable investment for a display piece of this quality.
