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
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!
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.
