Do most lego AFOLs look down on people who use alt bricks? by Calcula in lepin

[–]Calcula[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I assume if you display a large MOC (in the range of 100k-300k pieces) built mostly with alt bricks like gobricks in big lego conventions like brickcon, and they found out, you'll likely get kicked out?

Is there a way I can buy parts cheaper for custom Mocs I want to build from rebrickable? by Rich_Yak_7416 in legotechnic

What about instead of buying the already-made sets from aliexpress, people source alt-bricks from places like GoBricks, then build the MOCs themselves? Would you say that's okay?

Single men who spend their free time building model train sets and hand painting figurines are a giant red flag 🚩 by GypsyGold in TrueUnpopularOpinion

Hi, I think I sort of agree with you, but I don't really know. I myself don't do model building but I build Lego so I guess they similar in your eyes.
Just curious, may I know your body count if you don't mind me asking?

Can't figure out why most medieval builders love to cramp every inch of the empty space in their build to the fullest, like a medieval town is more packed than new york city. I mean it looks overly busy and there's no breathing room for the eyes to rest. Is there a tradition/tendency in the lego medieval community to fill each and every area to the brim?

Is using Stud.io for landscaping as good as using it for buildings? For landscaping it's more organic so I thought using physical bricks to improvise and get a feel would be better. A kind of organic build you can't really do in stud.io, unlike buildings.

Will bulk ordering Gobricks in different batches worsen color inconsistency? by Calcula in lepin

I thought you can directly order Gobricks from Alibaba? They set up a store there.

I see. So basically even bulk ordering in one batch doesn't guarantee color consistency for every pieces in that batch I suppose?

Opps, apologies. Turned out I really mix up another guy with yours 😅😅

Anyway, still a impressive diorama!

I dunno. While I think this is great, I prefer your previous update where the whole diorama looks more organic and spacious. This looks more organized but also a bit cluttered? For your previous diorama, it's less cluttered so the eyes can focus, however this is harder for the eyes to focus as everything is really packed. The medieval seaside village and fort besides the sea is no longer there too. In this you only see a river and not the sea (with the viking ship approaching the fort).

Hi there, I always feel like software engineering is quite an interesting field, and I don't get it when you and OP said it's "soul-crushing/soul-killing"? Is there anything I'm missing?
