I want to learn to build MOCs well. Is there any advice or websites/videos that give building advice and techniques for building

    Please edit the question to limit it to a specific problem with enough detail to identify an adequate answer. – Metalbeard Jan 09 '22 at 19:16
  • While I've posted generic suggestion as an answer it is best to just begin building something yourself. And once you encounter an issue you cannot solve or need some advise - post this as a new question with as much details as you have. Make sure to add pictures as otherwise it is basically impossible to help. – Alex Jan 09 '22 at 19:21

It is rather opinion based, however I've got a piece of advice.

General advice is to build whatever you want and as often as you can. It won't be perfect and top-level MOC at beginning (we all were there at point), but you will eventually get there, while learning following in the process:

  • what it is to build for yourself;
  • what kind of obstacles you encounter during your build;
  • list of parts you can use and their properties;
  • what colors are generally available for the MOCs you build;
  • what it is to work with certain scale;
  • structure stability;

and so on.

Next thing is to build other people's MOCs and study them. These are, sometimes, more advanced that LEGO sets. You can find a lot of free instructions on Rebrickable.

I've specifically excluded any resources for advanced techniques as those are usually cool to look, but are very specific to particular use case. There are also no resources that list all possible techniques, because... there's no such thing as "all techniques" - something is being discovered every other day!

Disclaimer. Wanted to post this as a comment, but it got too long.
