I'm squ1ddos and I am told that I make art out of LEGO.

  • Thank ya very much! Well, that sounds purty nifty! Care to share it?

  • I greatly appreciate that! Thank you very much!

  • 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! Did you see the finished masterpiece of an abomination?

  • 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.

  • Hmmm, I will try that! Thank you very much for that.

  • Thank you very much! I like to do things differently with LEGO.

  • Thank ya!

  • I definitely have learned a lot about WH40K lore this year.

  • Interesting, however it's a making of my own madness. :D

  • Nope, my own idea. I honestly never heard of Necrons until I posted this build a few months ago.

  • I will check it out when I can, thank ya for that.

  • Yeah, I didn't want to full sacrifce the exo suit, so I pulled it apart and used it as decoration. :)

  • Thank you very much!

  • Thank ya! I ran out of parts and am currently wondering what to sacrifice for this build. It's quite modular as well.

  • Thank you! Why do you say that?

  • Ohhh, I got ya. Well, I learned something. Yeah this tractor I grew up with on my great grandma's farm. Dad would use it when we had a garden, or in the winter to remove snow.

  • Thank ya! Yeah, a lot of my calm bigger builds are still assembled. One day I will revisit them. Currently it is all about eldritch horror, and cyberpunk shenanigans.

  • I do! I see them pop up every now and then on my feed. They're still active, somewhere. I also stumbled upon RC trucks, doing a tractor pull.
