This was my attempt at making an International 856. I do not have any pictures of the updated build with red wheels. I put it on our club's layout from time to time.

I picked up this set as part of a competition on the BrickBuilding Discord server. Basically, buy the set and see what all you can make from it. Only a few participated, but we all won something.

You're welcome. They were on display at BWC, but those all have been sacrificed for the greater good.

https://i.imgur.com/ttzOCZo.jpeg I also need to revisit the happy plants. The Carousel of Nightmares has been sacrificed as well.

The left one. I'm sorry, I should have specified.

 

Enjoy my madness. :P

 

Enjoy :P

I greatly appreciate that and I honestly have no idea. She's refusing treatment for her aggressive MS and I feel that I am mostly her trigger. That of which is causing her not to get better. It is a double edge sword, but I thought I had some sort of autistic trait about me. Nope, turns out I'm just stressed and I use LEGO as my escape. So, anything that follows during my build sessions is a reflection of the stress I am tring to avoid. I just love showing off what I can do with LEGO and what can be possible.

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.

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

[–] squ1ddos@piefed.world 2 points 5 days ago

Ohh, that is interesting. I'm not a fan of seeing things under water, but that's quite unique with how similar they are.

[–] squ1ddos@piefed.world 1 points 5 days ago

I have a lot more and I can link you my imgur to where I am pulling these from. I'll share my next idea though with you, an eldritch horror train.

 

This build is something I threw together in a few hours. Alas, it too was sacrificed, but it's fun to look back on old ideas.

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. :(

Thank you! Would you like to see how it looked at Brickworld Chicago, earlier this year?

 

Our club is suppose to create a Detroit cyber city, using the New Hashima cube design, but the idea kind of gave up the ghost, so I am trying to inspire members what the idea could resemble. The idea has been in limbo for 2 years now. First there was gripe about the logo, which never came to fruition. Then the idea resurfaced earlier this year and fizzled out again. I'm really enjoying the idea and want to make more! Three of the cubes I made in May, took about 20 hours or so. The last cube, on the bottom right took about 8 hours or so.

This build is the biggest layout/display I have. There are two running trains and the Vibrant Duchess, an airship. Also a sprawling landscape with inventors galore. One inventor is working on their latest build, the Crimson Huntsman. It is a steampunk spider walker mech.
