This MOC is for my 2nd Anniversary on MOCpages. The main photo shows my Sigg Fig with a MOCpages flag in the one hand and the official MOCpages brick in the other.
About this creation
I found MOCpages, when I was looking for some inspiration for a LEGO version of the Shire and joined March 6, 2010

Hobbiton, Bag End and the Green Dragon was my first MOC. Luka Cody was the first person to comment.
A few days later I joined The Fellowship of the Brick , my first group and became admin in it. Together with Star Wars LEGO Creations it is my favorite group on MOCpages.
Then I added several amall LOTR Creations and Star Wars minifigures:







Gandalf and the Balrog at the bridge of Khazad-Dum got many likes (more than it deserves, I guess) and became my most popular MOC. (Today it is my 2nd popular MOC)

On August 22, 2010 I added Smaug the Golden, last of the big dragons who got more likes than all of my other creations in less than a day. Once it was MOC of the day.








The Fellowship of the Ring was a multi-MOCCer project. Myself and 7 other builders each created a member of the Fellowship of the Ring (one created 2). I added all of them in a MOC and until today everybody can find it on the group homepage of The Fellowship of the Brick


In the middle of the year 2011 I found out how to create a banner for group promotions. My first one was for The Fellowship of the Brick and many more followed.

After I had added several small MOCs (mostly Tolkien-related), I decided to start a bigger project: The HOBBIT, or There and Back Again , my first story-MOC. The main photo is one of my best photoshop images and my upcoming creations will mostly be about the HOBBIT.
As you can see it has been 2 active and busy years that made a lot of fun. Therfore I'd like to thank some people who really helped me. (I never posted my 1st MOCiversary, so I'll add 2 lists)
YEAR I
Athanasios Lazarou: One of my first friends on MOCpages. He's a very skilled builder with many popular creations.
Gondabuggan: A great LOTR fan with a hilarious sense for humor.
Chief Andreas Lehndeckel: A great and friendly MOCCER from Germany. Until today he comments on all of my MOCs.
Caleb Blanchet: An experienced and kind LOTR builder. He was the first person I made moderator in a group.
prime time and crew nown: One of the first people to comment on my creations. His advice was really helpful.
Captain Connor Patterson: He had been my best friend on MOCpages, before he deleted his account.
Thomas: Although he isn't very active, he is a loyal friend who often returns to MOCpages to write in his favorie groups or comment on one of my MOCs.
Space Gypsy: One of only a few people I know who stayed active both years. Without him MOCpages would seem very emty to me.
The Timinater!: The living proof for activity. He commented on all of my MOCs. Thanks Tim!
Caleb Robinson: The first person who created a CYOA character for me. His story-MOCs are really good!
YEAR II
Mark Murphy: He's one of the most active people I know and my best online friend. He is the biggest elf-lover you can imagine...
Harry 863: He's even a bigger Jedi-fan than myself. He knows everything about their rules, members, traditions and way of thinking.
Mr. Viking: We have a lot in common: We are both obsessed by dwarves, LEGO, Star Wars, MOCpages and LOTR.
Aidan Moon: Together with Mark, Mr. Viking and Harry he is my best friend on MOCpages. His LOTR knowledge is impressive and he is a skilled author.
Bailey Joseph: He has always been a good friend to me. I really like his Silmarillion minifigures.
August (Soap): A talented young builder and great friend. He created a birthday MOC for me. Thanks August!
Ian Spacek: Another great friend and the creator of many popular contests and famous MOCs.
Max Pointner: A great builder who created many unique MOCs and has brilliant building ideas. I really value people like him!
Christopher Baldacci: A LOTR fanatic and fabulous builder. Thanks for all the kind and motivating comments, Chris!
RC 1710 "Deff": The only other active MOCCer from Germany I know. His Star Wars creations are wonderful.
Jackson Williams: He comments on all of my MOCs and deserves to be thanked!
Josh O.: A huge fantasy and Star Wars fan. I really enjoy commenting on his MOCs.
LEGO Lord: Although his extremely honest comments on bad or average MOCs can be annoying, he is a nice guy and his advice is always very helpful.
If you are disappointed, because you aren't on this list, I either don't know you good enough, or you are very inactive, or I forgot you (I'm very forgetful sometimes), or you are very new to MOCpages (which is the most likely reason). I didn't mean to hurt anyone, but please tell me, if I did.
Thank you all and prepare for another active and "MOCful" year!

You have really been busy over the last two years! I just realized I have been on here for almost six! Oh, and by the way, next time the uploader goes quirky, you can always get pictures directly from Brickshelf to put on your page. |

Hey! Happy 2nd MOCiversary Michael! And thanks for the little nod (above). I really appreciate it! You've been an awesome guy to get to know too. Speaking in code now: I'd really like to start getting MELO up and running again, just so we get everything decided and ready for December. I was thinking maybe we could do a lot of the prep in August. Heh, I'm also going to be posting a 2nd MOCiversary soon, as I never did a first either. Cheers! ~Ian |

Looking over this, I realized we have known eachother for a while, and also, we had a lot of the same first favorites! It also makes me sad since a lot of them are inactive (Athanasios, Gunndabugon, and Caleb B.) =( |

Whoah, your second year at MOCpages! I never knew you were such an elder. ;) Thanks for posting this, as now I've gathered more of your status information, like your first comment, etc.
Oh, and thanks for including me on the list, as I never knew I was worth mentioning on something like this, so thanks! It's funny though, how you explained me, though. ;) Though, I didn't mean to be harsh if I ever was.
Congratulations, and I hope this new year on MOCpages might bring you even more fun!
P.S. how can you find out the date of your account creation? I'm not sure how long I've been around, and I'd definitely want to submit my own MOCiversary when I've been on for a year, before it'd be too late to.
Thanks, LEGO Lord! I think most people create their account on the same day, when they post their first MOC. (Some people don't, but it is tradition to choose that day as your first 'real' one on MOCpages.) Another possibility would be to look it up in your e-mail center and search until you find the date of your account creation) |

Congratulations Michael!!! I'm amazed at several of your MOC's aspects: For one, I LOVE your fantastic photoshopping job of the backgrounds, and the brilliancy of your handmade accessories! You were one of the first people to add me as a favourite, as well as one of the first to comment on my MOCs! Thanks for making me feel noticed! :D Once again, I congratulate you on your second MOCiversary, and I am hoping for you to have a just as good, even better next year! My MOCiversary is on May 1st, funnily enough, that's 2 days from now! Once again, HAPPY MOCIVERSARY !!!
