I've come to a conclusion today that I have a void in my life, I have no outlet for creativity.
It's not that I'm not creative, more that I'm not traditionally creative. I don't write, draw, paint, sculpt, or anything like that. The closest I ever got was mapping for Quake. My creativity is based in problem solving. I can't figure out how to apply that to a hobby of some sort.
What do you guys do?
I'm guessing you have used some sets in there and combined them.
Two of my friends in high school(twins) used to love lego and we built a massive castle once but that was mostly out of standards blocks with a few special cap pieces for the tops of the walls. It didn't have a roof. It looked pretty good with all different colors. If I remember the standard colors were yellow, blue, red, white and black. They tore it down after a day because they just wanted to build stuff.
I think they had a couple of sets but they had them setup on their shelves.
Yeah I did, but Lego has a stance upon violence and not promoting it sometimes. RoboCop is for sure one of those themes they wouldn't touch.
That scene is from RoboCop 3. Always a fan of ED-209 myself. At the present moment I likely have around 1000 sets and 150lb of just bulk Lego pieces.
That is actual Lego too. Not the generic shit because it isn't the same.....a few come close, but there is zero substitute for the actual Lego brand as it stands.
It isn't that I am a purist either, it is that often times the others are less than consistent with quality as Lego is.
Yea, I remember some that used softer plastic and others that used a slightly different stud pattern. Just now looked it up and their patent expired in 1978.
Show off? No not at all. If I wanted to do that I would do so, but it has been my experience that often times many are less than receptive about others who are outside the community of Lego as adults.
Usually some stupid shit to say or just never letting it go (see Voat). Just something I don't feel like dealing with usually.
But meh here is one
