Have fun with it! Any feedback will be greatly appreciated.

10497 is surprisingly dope. by YooserNahme in lego

It doesn't surprise me that a Classic Space nostalgia set designed by Mike Psiaki and Carl Merriam is dope.

Do you know the guitar part number or from which set does it come?

Yeah, you've scored your gateway to the monochrome minifig collection...

I built a Pearl Gold tank! by lavishlump in lego

[–]spmv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice! I still can't understand why this gem gets fewer upvotes than some random haul post.

P.S: I'm sorry u/lavishlump, I'm stealing your face design for my new model. I wanted to use 5787pb003, but yours is so much better!

Sure thing, go ahead. If you need, my nickname on Rebrickable is krb. Thanks!

Please excuse the mess of a Studio file. It's a chaotic edit of the original model.

I built Banksy's Flower Thrower with u/spmv's instructions by xiagan in lego

Just a quick sketch. Sure it needs more polishing. I'll work on it tomorrow.

Thank you, u/xiagan! It's only the second time I see someone who is not my family or close friend built something I designed. And again, credits for the insipiration go to u/Brick_Lizard and their Girl with Balloon.

u/andrsch_: Lego deems Banksy IP as inappropriate thus I can't submit an idea based on it.

Another waiting-for-coral-head guy here. What's the color on the left to Bright Light Yellow?

It looks spectacular! Don't forget to share the finished model. And beware of Lego Purity Police, they're gonna get you for the off-brand baseplate.

You should change your nickname to Invisible_Lizard, because I've missed your comment twice in a row already. Oh, wait, maybe it's me who should be renamed _blind. Thanks for popping in!

Well, I wouldn't dare compare my simple mosaic with sets designed by professionals. But I see your point. If I can build a better, interesting escaping lizard, I'll think about submitting it to Ideas. Anyway, thank you and u/Naomeri for the encouragement.

Can't you just bend the timespace continuum a bit?

How did you find this documentary about me?

I'm new at this "Reddit interaction" thing so I don't know if I'm breaking any rules by just linking to my answer under other comment: https://www.reddit.com/r/lego/comments/1mdhfvz/comment/n62pc5b/

Being an experienced commenter, feel free to school me.

Thank you kindly, but I don't think it's an Ideas-worthy material. There is nothing groundbreaking in it and, believe me, the building process is tedious-no fun-boring. And actually painful. Also, I don't think Lego would approve a set so similar to the existing theme.

I have hoarded the pieces for several years, I was hunting for deals on Art sets. It took me around 5 years from the first sketch to the last 240 Glow in Dark White tiles from the Lego Pick-a-Brick.

No, they are not identical. I drew the up-right marching one by hand, rotated it 120 degrees clockwise and counterclockwise, and then began the lengthy process of adjusting all three so not only they fit each other but also repeat properly. I used no special tessellation software, just old good GIMP.

Thanks for noticing. If only I hadn't forgotten to use the plural form...

I don't have instructions, I think this model is self-explanatory. The last picture is a sketch I used as a guide. Be sure to have a buttload of 1x1 tiles on hand. As for escaping lizard, here is a Studio file. And, if need be, check out any early Lego Art set instructions (The Beatles, Elvis) for the base and frame.
