    Great scene. It feels very atmospheric, and the simplicity is refreshing to look at!

    Lol, what an adorable build. Though if you hadn't mention it, I would not have guessed it's a nunchuck. It looks more like two teddy bear keychains connected to each other. Perhaps what will make it look more like a nunchuck would be smaller chain links and a lot more of them, plus a long handle with a teddy bear head at the top or bottom. Otherwise, it's a fun little build! (Is that the Mecabricks Advanced add-on I see there O_O !?)

    Mini scale models typically tend to look unimpressive, but this model really makes up for it with its awesome sculpting and parts usage! It's so satisfying to looks at! The orange and transparent parts helps tremendously in breaking up the monotony of the light gray. Amazing work!

    Holy Bricks! This is way too cool! Really love the colors, and those wheels for feet is awesome. All that pneumatic wiring adds another dimension to this model too! Also, didn't know pneumatic pistons exists in trans neon green. Did it come out a long time ago?

    Amazing! Converting a vehicle into a building is quite impressive. The detailing and color separation is pretty good as well.

    Mind boggling impressive! I'm sure this looks incredibly awesome in real life considering how big the Saturn V is already.

    Wow, the way you've built that circular water is perfect! It looks like it has tiny waves and ripples going through it. The frog is simple, but very nicely sculpted!

    !!! Love every single part of the Hamburger Stand. That roof is pure eye candy. Also, those brick shaped bricks used for the base. *AAAAAHHHH*

    Incredible shaping!! All the clever parts usage really adds so much to the ship.

    I would say it's 50/50. There are those who really don't like constraction, and there are those who absolutely adore it. I started LEGO with constraction sets, and I have so much respect for them. Hero Factory and Bionicle set reviews, from my observation, is one of the most viewed categories of LEGO set reviews, some even reaching 1mil+ views. The Bionicle contest, hosted back in 2016 is still the biggest online contest ever. I believe Bionicle and Hero Factory have been very well received by the majority (mostly kids, not that it's a bad thing, because when they eventually grow up, their fond memories with those sets would make them respect those themes), I suppose because there are plenty of LEGO Brick purists around places like forums and blogs which is why their opinions are heard more often.

    Yeah, it's the exact same for me. My creator 3in1 interest started from the Corner Deli, from then on I got all the other "shop styled" buildings (including Park Street Townhouse), and bluntly speaking the 31097 just doesn't hold up to those ones. Perhaps seeing it in person would change my mind...

    Superb models! The shape is captured perfectly. I really like how you built the door hinges, it's realistic to how car doors move in real life. With that amount of polish and detail, I'm surprised it's built with just 779 pieces! Awesome job!

    Been looking at your Modular creations for some time and I finally have to leave a reply. The Bricks and Blooms does look really nice, it has a fairly unique footprint and nice detailing throughout. Really love that side building, especially with the second level, the use of parts there is just . The design of the main building still feels pretty cluttered though, (even though you already tried to make it cleaner ). The use of parts and colors (in my humble opinion) isn't really the best. The white colors are too jarring (but maybe that's just the render, white in real life is yellowish and slightly muted), the Earth Blue awnings in front of the Dark Green is a weird choice. Some details just feels like they are there for the sake of adding details rather than adding something substantial to the build. The colors, details and design should flow together in a cohesive manner for a aesthetically pleasing Modular Building, which is why I personally think that's where the Downtown Diner and the Corner Garage succeeds in. But then again, I would also say that your way of designing Modular Buildings makes it very unique, with your odd color and design choices. Without seeing your name I can pretty much tell which Modular Building is designed by you. Welp, that's my two cents. Keep up the awesome work! (Darn, those images where you displayed all your Modular Buildings side by side really makes you forget about their flaws. It's absolutely stunning!)

    Totally speechless. The Happy Hourglass is already god-like, much less the whole Potion Shoppe. Epic collaborative build!

    Your character builds have always been incredibly impressive! This just looks so awesome! Really like the shaping and the nice use of colors.
  16. ExeSandbox
    Very well crafted builds! Love them!

    Woah, I wasn't following this thread, but darn, I thought nobody would comment anymore. Thanks for all the nice comments everyone! To answer some of the questions, this is indeed a digital render. Funnily, I completed the build and render of this model in just one day. Considering the effort I put into this, I was really surprised by the response that it got!

    Amazing modular building! I'm getting vibes from the Detective's Office, Assembly Square and the Pet Shop. You've certainly put a lot of thought into the colors and shaping!
  19. ExeSandbox
    Me too

    That stonework man.... Very nice pic!
  21. ExeSandbox
    Woah...
  22. ExeSandbox
    Thanks! I wish I could have added front axle suspension and a steering mechanism too. But alas Yup, that's a really accurate description of the model
  23. ExeSandbox
    No way. The body is way too clean! Sick design!
  24. ExeSandbox
    This goes without saying, but those curves are incredible! Love the color scheme and the clean contemporary design. It's like every element compliments each other.

    Hello! I am just curious about this, and was wondering if anyone here has had experience in selling your MOCs online, or physically (like in a convention)? Because I have some interests in selling some MOCs myself, but I haven't had any experience doing so and it would be really great if you could give some advice on it. Here are some questions that I have: .1) How do you calculate the pricing on your creations? Do you charge based on costs of parts, workmanship, and shipping charges? Do you also mark up some more after that? .2) Have you experienced any pitfalls or miscalculations that might result in a loss of profit? Do some of you sell, but not for the profit? .3) How do you order your parts to build the models? If it's from sites like Bricklink or Ebay, there is the added price of shipping. Does every charge for shipment add up to the MOC's price? - Or do you bulk buy LEGO kits and create MOCs from there. If so, how do you go about calculating the price of the MOC? I would be very grateful for your advice on this! Many thanks!
