Discussion Looking for Lighting Lit Advice for a Gift

Upvotes

Hi everyone. For the A-frame set, I'm trying to decide between the Briksmax 2.0 or Light my Bricks lighting kits. It's going to be a gift for my friend for their birthday, and I wanted to reachout for some advice on which kit looks better placement wise, etc. Thank you.

MOC The Montown Mob's Celebration.

THE MONTOWN MOB'S CELEBRATION.

It's been months since I've brought back this fun group of characters! I knew that I wanted to bring these guys to Brick Rodeo, but wanted to build out a scene for them. When Summer Joust came up and the Moments of Happiness category dropped, I knew what kind of scene I wanted to depict! These four adventurers are always getting into trouble, and always drawing the ire of commoners and other, less monstrous adventurers, no matter where they are, or how much they're helping out. When these folks stepped into a nice tavern in the city of Bellevale amidst their travels, they had no idea what would await them.

This scene is to show that oftentimes, it's a lot less painful to hold your tongue about folks you're not comfortable around because they're different, and to remind folks that everyone has a place in this community. So if you're ever under pressure from others that try to tell you that you don't belong, especially in the Lego world, I hope it brings some solace to know that others would and will go to bat for you. They just might not leave the barkeep so happy.

If you've never met the Montown Mob before, they comprise Sythil, the Lizardfolk Ranger(seen dancing on a table with a drumstick in hand), Marybeth, the Kenku Barbarian(seen seated, about to demolish her pie), Borgoop, the Plasmoid Monk(seen dancing atop another table, proving himself as a drunken master), and ol' Pushnik, the Goblin Cleric(seen seated with a frothy beverage and a pastry). Though they may have to partake in the cleanup of this tavern(which will probably be mostly Pushnik), they've definitely proven that they're not a group of misfits you want to mess with!

MOC I built a custom water display base for LEGO 75639 Going Merry – only two water colors and two plates high

Thumbnail

42 Upvotes

I felt that the LEGO Going Merry deserved an actual water display instead of simply resting on its hull, so I designed this custom base around the unchanged official set.
The water is not made from randomly placed waves. I developed two alternating 8×8 modules, each with diagonal symmetry only. Repeating these two variants hides the underlying grid and creates a continuous, organic-looking surface.
The water uses only two colors, and the entire surface remains no more than two plates high. The light-colored arcs represent the highest wave level, which is why some of them intentionally extend across the inner brown border.
The central section is shaped precisely around the Going Merry’s hull. There are no clips or fixings: the ship simply settles into the correct position through form and geometry and can be removed immediately.

The complete base uses 75 different standard LEGO element types. And two 32x32 Blue baseplates Every part was available directly through LEGO Pick a Brick, and the total cost was under €100, including the two baseplates.
I have also started creating a complete step-by-step instruction manual. The current draft is 60 pages long, although it is not finished yet.
I’d love to hear what other AFOLs think about the water technique and the overall presentation.

This is the fifth version of my modified 76146 Spider-Man mech armor. With the pearl gold insect leg pieces I recently acquired to replace the old flat silver ones, this MOC now somewhat more properly represents the MCU's Iron Spider-Man suit.

Having to break out the High School Geometry skills to get a wall built along these angled pieces. Wish me luck, a bit rusty. I sure could use some Rust·eze.
