She's cool in my book. I buy furniture to augment my Lego collection. She buys Legos to augment her furniture collection. We could hangout and talk about sorting strategies and dusting techniques.

I'm just saying it'd be cool to meet someone who comes to Legos from a professional design angle rather than just being a loving nerd like most of us.

Who prints anything nowadays anyway?

Is there a specific name or search term for building ideas for all the 1x1 pieces that are leftover? I have so many bags of 10-20 1x1 pieces in various colors, would be cool to make something in micro scale with them.

The printer incel is gross but holy poo poo the second post on that page is bonkers, like real unironic DENNIS system poo poo. Lock that lady into your bed by having unhinged twilight zone asides about 'The Door', real king behaviour.

More on topic the 40th anniversary return of the jedi sets i ended up with are all good. Didn't get the speeder diorama but the executor and throne room were fun builds, was worried about the throne room after yodas swamp but it was a breeze to build in comparason.

Finished a few more cars recently!

First, this stupid fuckin' Panther Six, just to get it off my "to do" list already. Photos turned out bad. Gonna have to re-shoot it later.



Second, 2008 Ford Mustang. The first car I made when I got back into LEGO was an orange '08 Mustang - maybe some of y'all even remember it! This is me seeing how I would build such a thing now that my style has developed a bit.



Finally, I cannot overstate how proud of this one I am. I really think it's one of my best ever. 1967 Toyota 2000GT. Also, I have been seeing custom car wheel makers on Insta lately, so I reached out to one of them to model some 2000GT wheels for this model. They are 3D printed and hand painted by brickthebrick.
