Yeah, it would have been a little less, but one of my smaller builds crumbled in my hands as I was working on it, so mix that with 2.5 of sleep, and driving 4 hours was a recipe for disaster. Unfortunately I don’t think I will be doing anymore Brickworld shows this year. Yeah, I was telling the attendees you can make anything, it is a whole other creature when you have to transport it.
Yeah, would you like to see a teardown video of this build?

2·18 days agoThank ya and yeah, those kids were amazed and scared of my builds at the same time. We’ll see what the next builds I create are… I am starting to accrue a hefty backlog though of games I need to play though.
Understandable. I have my builds configured with modularity. Each section has its own box and corresponding elements. Setup took 7 hours and teardown one hour. I am starting to get a science down for setup/teardown.

Yeah, those colors really speak to me and that display is called, ‘Blacktron’s Last Stand, The Invasion of Arachnis’ People were blown away or scared when they realized there were spiders on the layout… then their demeanor was either astonished, or terrified.

2·1 month agoThank ya very much for that! I am glad that everyone is enjoying them! I think people are amazed at how I transport them. Setup for those 2 builds and the 4 cyber city cubes took only 5 hours. One day I will capture the builds properly.
Yup, that’s us! Our club ambassador, pretty much one of the original members made the Michigan Central Station, at The Henry Ford. We do have another show coming up this weekend, in Ann Arbor, BrickBash.
Heh, yeah. Sometimes having the two together makes it better. Also, when you add in a city, it makes it a lot better. :)
Heh, yeah. I really have been enjoying that band, DisKust and adding their music to most of my videos. Yeah, this was a small event that we have been doing for quite a few years now… I think. I only joined the club at the start of 2020.

6·2 months agoOh yeah, no problem! I am glad that you enjoy my madness. These are my trains I had to repair/revamp for a train show this weekend. They require 3D printed track to run. LEGO curves are R40, I had to get R72.

5·2 months agoHeh, thank you! Yeah, I have been busy fiddling with the build and getting ready for two upcoming shows. Here’s how the build looked when I posted it to Reddit… unfortunately I posted pictures, and not a video. https://imgur.com/a/KgdzP08

1·2 months agoHa ha ha, nah. Just my mental state.
Yeah, it’s fun and can be quite exhausting, but I enjoy it! I have a few ideas for my next idea of builds as well. You’re welcome. ;)
