My last post of 2025! Builds of 2025

Reply in thread

You're quite welcome! You're not wrong about how I just "snap" parts in place. Most of the time when I get a vision in my mind I try my best to translate it in LEGO. I can visualize myself seeing the build in factual reality and that brings life to the concept. Basically I enjoy having a plethora of parts to rifle through and see what I can conjure up. Sometimes I get ideas that I think would be stellar that I tear up because I'm amazed that I was able to pontificate such a grand idea. I enjoy showing off what is possible if you don't "color in the lines." I am not quite sure what triggered my abstract build style, but it can be quite exhausting and rewarding at the same time. I just enjoy adding detail as much as possible and I don't let "what's practical" hold me back. I look back on prior builds and I think when I finally started the first iteration of the apocalyptic scraps in 2019, I pretty much dove off of the deep end. 2005-2014 were my dark ages, but it was Lego Digital Designer that reintroduced me to LEGO. I spent days in LDD, during college and Minecraft's inception. Then Stud.Io came out and there was much more I could do, and it took a bit to master, but it's second nature now. At the end of the day, I use LEGO to zone out and create "art" with lore. I always use to write poems, draw, and create short stories, so I guess my past is finally reaching up to me? I think what also blows people away is that I stream my builds on Twitch and that my builds are modular. There's always the downside of being creative... it's building a concept when you're suppose to be sleeping or working.

I greatly appreciate that and yeah a few people have said the same thing. It's one thing to see a picture, it's another when you can see it in person and look at all of the details. I could show you some of my other refined builds, if you'd like?

Essentially both answers are correct. I have a vision and try to manifest it in reality. Sometimes it doesn't go according to plan and I have to improvise. I feel that I can create things better, without fail when I have the parts available.

Heh, you would buy a book of the creatures from the nightmare realm? Here's a video from last year of the nightmare realm. Hence the dated look of the builds.
