Yeah, it was quite something, as you could tell. I'm not one to want to walk away when there's an issue, but to try and power through it.. Well, when it comes to LEGO. Other issues are a different story. I felt that using the garage door pieces were a great addition to the concept. Do you see this as being a classic space build that has been infected?

 

One is never satisfied with their work and always need to revamp it. Well, this one was quite cumbersome and fickle. I stitched together a few things from my Live that came from frustration. I was beyond frustrated, and nothing was working. I use LEGO as an escape from reality, but when it crumbled, I crumbled. You can see how angry I got... I went back the next day and threw the build together, with more insight and structural integrity. 3 hours later the build was finalized!

As my friend says, "It's some sort of Gigeresque entity co-opted the classic space aesthetic for its own uses."

I greatly appreciate that!

Well, the concept is from Matrix - due to the sentinels in the movie. I just put my own spin on things.

Yuuuup, you know me ;)

Thank ya! I greatly appreciate it!

 

One is never finished with a MOC. I went back and expanded upon ths concept and I enjoy the concept a lot more now. The build is a bit more fickle and precarious, but it looks great! Someone on here mention that I place the build next to the Sky Squid, which I did and ya know, I feel that the two compliment each other greatly!

I am not sure what the next build will be... I stumbled across this.. AI page for horror and I can't get enough of it. Spooky Salad has released some gnarly looking Eldritch Horror ideas that I MUST try to create. My recentl thrown together concept is "The Architect." I'll see what transpires from that.

I did that, just for you. I am currently working on posting it. Albeit not eating the other sentinel, they're at least next to each other.

[–] squ1ddos@piefed.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

That's original from the Lego Movie, or the second one. I honestly can't recall.

Indeed! I had a lot of fun creating this last night. I threw it together in 4 hours and it only fell apart twice. Nothing substantial, just the front tentacle bits fell off. I need to order more appendages...

 

I recently picked up some parts from the 90’s and ordered a bountiful amout of blue appendages. I knew that the blue would definitely be a perfect way to create some classic space abomination. I tried my best to adhere to the classic space color scheme as well, with a few color exceptions. I have recently been on a stint for creating these sentinel things and I knew when I acquired those parts what my next build would be! I want to expand on this corrupted space idea as well. Let me know what you think.

Thank ya! Uhh, I can try to find some better pictures or take some close ups of it for ya. It's just something I threw together 4 years ago.

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?

As always, it was a great turn out, and a terrific experience! A few highlights that I can currently recall. A child saw my battle scene and said, “I love this!” The mother replied with a perplexed tone, “you do?” The child responded with an astounding “yes!"🤣
I feel I may have scarred a few attendees, both parents and kids. I signed a few autographs and caught up with my regulars I see at Indy. Another thing I can recall on Saturday was a mother and her 2 kids stared at my display and their eyes glazed over with bewliderment. After 10 minutes or so of utter disbelief they walked away and about 20 minutes later they came back. The mother exclaimed, “Every other display we kept going to the boys kept saying I want to go back to the squ1ddos display, over and over.” I felt quite special after hearing that, so I gave them 2 tokens I created for the displays I liked. Their eyes lit up sooo wide and she greatly appreciated the gesture. As I can recall more I will comment.

I met a lot of fellow displayers and they were amazed of what I brought to display. Most of the people that checked out my builds were confused, blown away and a few said they're true art. For those attendees that read the lengthy stories, they really enjoyed how they elevated the builds. A few even said I should write an actual story about the Veinhart... The reactions from most of the kids were astonishment, scared, or mesmerized by my creations. I even had a few adults and kids keep coming back to just stare in bewilderment at my madness. It was a great weekend and even met a fellow imgurian. He said it was an honor to meet me and that my builds were surreal. I shook his hand and gave him a sticker. He was tickled pink from our brief interaction.

Our MichLUG collab with the cyber cubes was a big hit as well. I am glad we're enticing more people to create these fun cubes. I felt that adding my 4559 train helped the layout come to life a bit more. All in all, it was a great time for everyone!

This build, along with this one will be at BrickBash Ann Arbor, this weekend! Both items are already packed and all I have left are the final touches on my cyberpunk city.
