From what I can gather, the typical reaction is bewilderment along with shock and awe. "How do you transport this?" "How do you know if/when a part falls off where it goes?" "How many pieces/time did it take?" Those are the usual inquiries followed by a handful of times "This isn't LEGO anymore, this is art and it belongs in a museum!" I always love that comment. I greatly appreciate it and I have a few other builds I have been cooking up since I dismanted the build and prepped it for transport. Now I can upload pictures! Thank ya again. :D

Thank ya for that! I was told people loved it. Some were scared and even with the story, they were confused. We'll see how it is this weekend. I did hear someone say while I was setting it up "this isn't LEGO anymore, this is art!" So, that's always a great thing to hear. 😊

Ha ha ha. I get that every now and then. Nah, it's not a metal band logo, this is the Veinhart Soul Engine and Swarm Core.

This is the Veinhart Soul Engine and Swarm Core. It is an ancient biomechanical forge that lures victims to slaughter in the hope of transcendence. Yeah, HR Giger was a huge inspiration. I love his work and to marry it with eldritch horror. :D

That's Arachnis. You'll see better images via that Imgur link I posted. ;)

Heh, thank ya. Here's a quick video for you. https://imgur.com/gallery/veinhart-soul-engine-swarm-core-IFpYc8s

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.

There maybe a tad used in this. Lots of part 32828 were used due to it's versatility. Would you like to see a teardown video of the build?

Thank you very much! I think I have spammed enough builds over the years to coin, "that's a squ1ddos build."

The base is pretty solid, lots of technic. I tell people, I start with a solid foundation and build up. Would you like to see a 5 minute teardown video of it?

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.

I just found out about this place from a LEGO club member. This is all new to me and I wanted to share some of my recent works on here. I will check that site out, and I greatly appreciate it!

Oh 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.

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?

I'm sorry. I know my stuff isn't for everyone.

I greatly appreciate it! I can create normal things as well. :P

I greatly appreciate it! Here's how it looked at Brickworld Indy and here's a teardown video for ya.

HAHAHHA, this is the Veinhart Soul Engine and Swarm Core. It's a biomechanical forge that uses the fabricated lie of transcendence to lure victims to harvest.

Definitely quite true I just use a lot of bar and clip methods, minor bending, but nothing too severe. The Eviscerator Chariot has a few more illegal techniques on it. https://imgur.com/a/o4VFvt5 Exactly, it's my LEGO and I can do whatever I want. :P
