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

Sprouting Death (media.piefed.world)

This build is something I threw together in a few hours. Alas, it too was sacrificed, but it's fun to look back on old ideas.

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. :(

[-] squ1ddos@piefed.world 3 points 3 days ago

Thank you! Would you like to see how it looked at Brickworld Chicago, earlier this year?

[-] squ1ddos@piefed.world 2 points 3 days ago

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.

Cybercity - work in progress (media.piefed.world)
submitted 3 days ago by squ1ddos@piefed.world to c/lego@lemmy.world

Our club is suppose to create a Detroit cyber city, using the New Hashima cube design, but the idea kind of gave up the ghost, so I am trying to inspire members what the idea could resemble. The idea has been in limbo for 2 years now. First there was gripe about the logo, which never came to fruition. Then the idea resurfaced earlier this year and fizzled out again. I'm really enjoying the idea and want to make more! Three of the cubes I made in May, took about 20 hours or so. The last cube, on the bottom right took about 8 hours or so.

Atlas, my steampunk realm (media.piefed.world)
submitted 4 days ago by squ1ddos@piefed.world to c/lego@lemmy.world

This build is the biggest layout/display I have. There are two running trains and the Vibrant Duchess, an airship. Also a sprawling landscape with inventors galore. One inventor is working on their latest build, the Crimson Huntsman. It is a steampunk spider walker mech.

Check out these links for some quick videos

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.

[-] squ1ddos@piefed.world 2 points 5 days ago

Thank ya very much! Currently they're in pieces and on the chopping block..

[-] squ1ddos@piefed.world 1 points 5 days ago

Heh, alright. Glad you like it. ;)

Spaceship LUG Contest (media.piefed.world)

I created these spaceships at the end of 2024 for our LUG’s spaceship contest and actually won. There we a lot of great entries, but I guess my approach won everyone over.

Eldritch Horror - first build (media.piefed.world)

These builds are my first official foray into the Eldritch Horror type aspect. Most of them have been sacrified, but one part survived.

Biomechanical Survival (media.piefed.world)

These are some of the builds that the Veinhart Soul Engine and Swarm Core are responsible for. I have a story for these, but I can’t seem to find it right now.
