  • Building a twinkling LEGO star for the top of our tree. I'm using some Technic pieces and a motor to make the points of the star move in and out in an alternating sequence.

    Apart from the golden circle in the middle with the single stud, I couldn’t even tell it was LEGO at first. Nice job in the build.

    The whole design process was very enlightening (no pun intended), so many genius techniques used! Definitely taking notes from this. Thanks for putting out these very detailed documentations of your building processes, you’re a gift to the community (again, no pun intended)!

    I've always felt like there wasn't enough gold lego pieces to go about. I was trying to make some golden statue MOCs a couple years ago and I found that it was very hard to do.

      The sets 76165, 10266, and 76191 all have a decent number of metallic gold pieces, however they were all released after 2019 so prior to that there were very few pieces in that colour

  • @ftlPhysicsGuy
    @ftlPhysicsGuy Před 2 lety +14

    That was such a nice build! I love it. I have a suggestion: would it be possible to have the pulses a little offset so that the positions of the three outward-moving points would be a little staggered? Maybe that wouldn't be as reminiscent of a twinkling star, but I was wondering what it would look like if the three points moving together weren't quite so synchronized -- not sure. In any case, the build was awesome and the star looks great.

    Hey JK!
    In fear of insulting you, your video on the Statue of Liberty facelift might be your most important and usefull video to date (obviously your builds and sculptures are amazing too!).
    I was wondering if you'd be willing to try something similar for the Wizards Chess set? I feel like the chess pieces aren't really true to the movie depictions, and I'm sure there are ways to "facelift" the pieces, as you'd put it, using only parts that came in the set. I'd be really thrilled to see how you'd go about improving the set!
    If you ever have the time and lack of video ideas, I'm sure others would appreciate it as well

    @JK Brickworks, I have a question. Whenever you start building something new, do you ever take something apart that you built like along time ago or do you use the extra Lego pieces in your Lego containers that you haven't used yet? Just wondering🤔

    • @JKBrickworks
      @JKBrickworks  Před 2 lety +1

      A bit of both. I do have quite a few older models still assembled, but most of them get taken apart eventually to make more stuff.
