2·2 days agoYou’re welcome. They were on display at BWC, but those all have been sacrificed for the greater good.

3·2 days agoThe left one. I’m sorry, I should have specified.
I greatly appreciate that and I honestly have no idea. She’s refusing treatment for her aggressive MS and I feel that I am mostly her trigger. That of which is causing her not to get better. It is a double edge sword, but I thought I had some sort of autistic trait about me. Nope, turns out I’m just stressed and I use LEGO as my escape. So, anything that follows during my build sessions is a reflection of the stress I am tring to avoid. I just love showing off what I can do with LEGO and what can be possible.
Yeah, basically since I’m always stressed due to my wife’s condition and her not taking the appropriate steps for staving off the issue, she just gets worse and my request falls on deaf ears… So I’ve given up and just go in the basement and zone out with my angry happy music. I create works of art, but I guess that’s the result of being hyper focused from stress. The psychiatrist said I need therapy, and Lego isn’t the best coping mechanism. Sorry or rant, but yeah. Bricklink is great and if you want to be frugal, you can always find knock off sets or parts at a Dollar Store.
Most of the time the parts are ordered through Bricklink and are cheap. Plus I do not have kids, just a wife and kitty. I don’t do drugs or drink. I’m a lead tech at a computer business and once the essentials are paid, my money goes to Lego. I enjoy it, but evidently it is not healthy, according to the psychological exam I just got the results from.
I can’t say they all are, but I think I am pretty mellow and eccentric. :P
Ohh, that is interesting. I’m not a fan of seeing things under water, but that’s quite unique with how similar they are.
I have a lot more and I can link you my imgur to where I am pulling these from. I’ll share my next idea though with you, an eldritch horror train.
Thank you very much! Yeah, that mechanical build is the Crimson Huntsman. Here’s how it looked in 2024. I have not had a change to take updated pictures of the build. https://imgur.com/a/VNWPz0n This layout is 8ft by 5ft. I want to expand it, but my table space is limited. :(
Here ya go. https://youtube.com/shorts/uMH2FAe5jKU - entire layout https://youtu.be/wmFv4CL9v-w - Atlas at night
Thank you! Would you like to see how it looked at Brickworld Chicago, earlier this year?
Yeah, I would say loosely and better. ;) Everything in that build is of my own design, minus the “inspiration” from the bonsai set. :D
Heh, no idea. Back in the day they use to be call ambassadors - the presidents of the club.
Ha ha ha. I see what you did there. LUG for us is LEGO Users Group, MichLUG is the group I am part of. I get responses about Linux at times when I talk about a LUG.
Thank ya very much! Currently they’re in pieces and on the chopping block…
Heh, alright. Glad you like it. ;)
Yeah, people have said that for a few of the builds. Thank ya!

2·9 days agoAs you have seen from my countless posts, I tend to do things differently when it comes to LEGO. Sure I might dabble in a regular type build every now and then, my bread and butter is organic building. I then hone in on that aspect and try to make abominations that one do not resemble LEGO and two have people question my mental state. It’s fun to shock and awe people with the things I create. At the end of the day, I use LEGO as an art form to tell stories. Did you check out the link I supplied to peep the other builds I created? I’m glad that you love my madness! I have a decent backlog to share with y’all.
Honestly, it just comes to me. Would you like to see a Twitch vod of me creating a build? Yeah I have been told that, and even shared some of my stuff over on the HEGiger subreddit. I just like to do things differently with LEGO. I am told that I use LEGO as an art form to tell stories.
Very nice!
