    This is really cool! I know most people wouldn’t find something like this all too interesting. But from a LEGO designer prospective, I thinks it’s fun so see the progression of a design. Very relatable

    As a serious LEGO builder, do you just always have all the pieces you want to use at hand? Like you have all the grey bricks, white slope and red frame tiles in this model just stashed away in a drawer and you only need to reach in ans get them. Or do you ever run into a situation where you want to use a piece but don't have it available? Or maybe you only work on models you know you can complete with your arsenal of bricks?

    • @JKBrickworks
      @JKBrickworks  2 роки тому +32

      For something like this, with basic bricks, slopes and tiles in common colours, I pretty much had all the pieces on hand. That is definitely not always the case, though. For the rest of this model, I made 6 Bricklink orders and 2 Bricks and Pieces orders to get all the parts I needed.

    Possibly the best 'How I Design' Lego videos out there. I have been struggling with the philosophy of designing stuff. Using software. Hand drawing. This method seems to be the best because, like in "Close Encounters..." One should try sculpting. Putting bricks together is the most direct design method out there. More, please!

    To test functionality like the ball rolling there's no way around using physical bricks.

    Architect here. You've just shown a very nice tectonics study. I am assuming it was all intuition on your part (in contrary to theory/books), which is indicative of your expertise in this field. What you have shown is truly the essence of architecture - giving meaning to building elements so people can identify them without any prior instructions. If you wish to study this problem further, I would suggest looking into historical examples: Greek Classical orders would be a great start.

    The biggest problem I run into when deconstructing and reconstructing over and over is I've been known to forget a detail here and there and the reconstruction often turns out to be another variation altogether. And then my ACD (ADHD & OCD kidding, but...) suggests I document each build in progress, which in turn slows the progress.

    • @JKBrickworks
      @JKBrickworks  2 роки тому +2

      I can definitely relate. This used to happen to me quite often when rebuilding prototypes. I eventually learned to always take pictures before taking anything apart and rebuilding it, in case I forget some detail of it.
