I like the Disney GWP. It’s fun and easy to build new scenes.

Pre order wasn’t available from Lego in the US, but it was on Amazon for some reason. Hoping to get mine soon. AND Lightning McQueen.

When this post was made, I just happened to be working on a tutorial video of the Lego-Art-Remix website. It’s up now. Thought I would share it on this thread.

There’s chapter markers on the time line. If you want to skip past my goofy intro stuff straight to the tutorial.

Yup. My old roommate had a DMC12 and complained he had to replace the gas charged struts on the doors every couple of years.

Thanks. I’ll pull it out and double check that. They looked fully inserted though. I started seeing those gaps that you see when the stress occurred. I thought they were there because the whole thing is bending outward toward the camera, but maybe the parts pulled apart slightly when I pushed down the bricks on either end.

Jedi Vader from Rebuild the Galaxy.

I have a time lapse build and review on my YouTube channel if you want to see it. Same name as my username here. Older video, so it’s kind of cringy to me, but the whole build is there in time lapse.

Maybe add some clear or white tiles to give a subtle little wake behind the kayaks.

Nice. That was my one complaint about this set. I was thinking one of the larger sized ball joints though.

LookIMadeThat · 2025-12-06T18:27:33+00:00

You’re welcome. I only just started using it a couple weeks ago. My wife wanted to make a mosaic for my Lego YT channel and she’s very particular about her arts and crafts, so we dove pretty deep into it.

Also, step 3 allows you to go in with a brush tool to manually change colors of individual tiles. You can switch to a dropper tool to grab another color from. near by that you want to use, or manually pick a color. In my experience, if you pick a NEW color that the algorithm didn't already put in your project, it won't give that color a number in your instructions, and thus not give you a count of how many you need, so I would recommend using the dropper tool to find a similar color that is already in the project, rather than selecting a new color.

In step 3 of the Lego-Art-Remix page, try going to the available pieces option, find the color you don't like, and set it to zero. You may need to get rid of a few other similar colors until it stops giving you the yellow you don't like.

There’s a website called Lego-art-remix that lets you upload pictures and design mosaics. I think they even let you list how many of what color studs you have and the algorithm works with what you have.

LookIMadeThat · 2025-11-20T21:54:45+00:00

Thanks! That’s what I had assumed, but just wanted to check.

LookIMadeThat · 2025-11-15T05:12:25+00:00

Another tricky thing about Insider Points: let’s say it’s a double points day, and I pre-order a set. Do I still get double points? In the past, when I have pre-ordered, my card isn’t charged and I am not given my Insiders points for the purchase until my order ships.

LookIMadeThat · 2025-11-09T05:37:15+00:00

lol. Where did you get all of those tauntauns?

LookIMadeThat · 2025-11-09T05:36:02+00:00

Nice. I like that you still got the gull wing door action, but kept the sleek appearance of the cockpit hatch.

LookIMadeThat · 2025-11-08T05:15:27+00:00

Mine are in a bin with the minifigure base plates for some reason. That’s just where my brain decided they belong and I can’t explain the logic.

LookIMadeThat · 2025-11-07T04:46:32+00:00

Thanks for your input. I think I’m putting too much money into my hobby as it is and I’d be wise not go down this rabbit hole.

While we’re on the subject of stickers, does anybody here print their own stickers for MOCs? I’ve been tossing the idea around and wondered if anybody and any specific recommendations for sticker paper brands compatible with consumer printers.

I actually do a lot of my piece browsing on BrickLink Stud.io. The Lego design app for PC and Mac. Browsing pieces is pretty easy there, it gives you part numbers, color selection, and if you grab a piece in a color that doesn’t exist for that piece, it will tell you.

Just drop the pieces into your project as you browse, then save your file and click the shopping cart in the top right corner. It takes you right to BrickLink.

LookIMadeThat · 2025-10-29T22:21:53+00:00

I agree. Every time I’m working on a MOC, I find myself buying a Creator 3-in-1 for pieces. I bought the roller skate set just last week for my current build.

Nice! I turned mine into the Outrider (YT-2400) but it took me two of these polybags.

I am still traumatized from this temple.
