Gotta say I’m really disappointed with all of the specialty large molded parts. It feels like Nintendo doesn’t understand what makes LEGO special compared to competitor brands and is trying to push them toward the Megablox or COBI direction. These specialty pieces is part of what almost killed LEGO as a company in the early 2000s.

Special thanks to Duane Collicott & co. as well as Skyline High School for putting on a great show for everyone!

Users should be within their rights to use trademarked/copyrighted terms in the names of their MOCs with free instructions. It sounds like Rebrickable is being bullied by an unjust copyright holder. According to an admin, this copyright holder also “most definitely went through and visually identified a lot of MOCs too” — this may mean in the future you cannot have builds which are too well-made in resembling their source material.

I’ve yet to receive takedown notices for any of my MOCs, but it sounds like this situation is developing so we’ll see if existing names can remain going forward.

It took me about ten hours from start to finish to model this in Studio, edit positioning in Mecabricks, and then add the lighting and non-Lego elements in Blender. It's my second time using blender, so I'm super happy with how it turned out!

This is a mechanical perpetual calendar, so you can flip the date forward and it will shift a new date into view, as well shift the day forward.

Instructions will come soonish.

Old symbol:

Somebody on a Lego-based Discord server was trying to include this symbol in their MOC instructions, but Stud.io for some reason doesn’t have that as a feature. Image search results were limited as well, so I acquired the best resolution images of the new and old symbols that I could find and LukeSkydragon on the Discord whipped up these clean transparent png versions. To add these symbols to your MOC instructions on Stud.io, save the images from this post to your computer, open up Instruction Maker Mode, go to Page Design, click the button that says +Insert, click on Image, and select the images.

Part 2

Perimeter Defence Mech / Prototype Dreadnought.

Leaned heavily into the Spyrius theme (6889 was my first ever set), and building at Technic Minifig scale is always fun!

Additional shots (apologies for the quality, improvised set...):

Update - reworked the canopy while trying to maintain the Pyramid Head lurch:

I'm just getting back into Legos and recieved the 10317 Defender kit for the holidays. I would rather it have white wheels (I don't mind painting) and found that there was a past model wheel that came in white. The only difference is the axle style. Instead of the cross pattern it looks more like a half cross. What is this pattern called? Is it compatible with the cross pattern? It looks like it could be.
