  • Watch as I assemble this kinetic LEGO sculpture of a group of prairie dogs hanging around, and in, their burrow. I show how the mechanisms work for each as I put the model together. This model was a collaborative project built with Kristal.

      Depends on how much Lego you have and your storage facilities. Too much without the adequate space can be hell.

      @@Pickchore I don't have problem with storage, all my parts are sorted by colour in 30 see-through plastic boxes and screw sorters that I bought from OBI. The problem is that I don't have many of each piece as I don't order from Brickling regularly. Wish I did.

      My Lego is supposed to be sorted into different parts, eg Technic, large specific (eg trees), etc. Most of it is now not sorted, but then the rummaging around is part of the experience. Having the boxes anyway certainly helps though, helps split it up into more manageable 'chunks'
