reading the description … its says “compatible with OTHER brick sets” so it sounds like some kind of knockoff lego … possibly even 3d printed bricks or that chinese knock off… if you can get the plans you could probably buy the individual bricks from lego … but it would be pricey
While waiting for some parts for Midway I did this little side project. Can anyone guess which ship this is? A little tip, it was sunk almost exactly 80 years ago.
USS Samuel B. Roberts. The destroyer escort that fought like a battleship. In the Battle off Samar she engaged the Japanese battle fleet, including the battleship Yamato, in surface combat.
Ol’ Leo himself!
Had he been born in modern times, I feel certain he would’ve been a Mudspike member, just like other modern Italian Renaissance men, amongst us…
Think about it! Leonardo was interested in technology, flying, war machines and beautiful ladies.
And after a while I decided to try building some Lego again myself.
I played around with that bricklink Studio software (which has become a nice Lego CAD thing, I felt right at home in it).
Then I just drove to my parents and gathered all my old Legos that I could find. I spent a week now cataloging sets, sorting parts into categories, and researching stuff.
Between my parents, my brother, my kids and I we apparently own over 160 sets now, mostly small stuff since Lego has always been expensive, but ranging from the 1960s (only a handful of things) to this year, most of it between 1983 and 1994.
Today I called my brother and informed him that I have all the stuff ready to BUILD.
So he came over and we built a few little sets from our youth:
The LEGO space sets of the mid 1980s always had such an appealing aesthetic to my eye. Not only the promotional designs in the LEGO catalogs, but even the way the sets were designed and built.
They are really fun. Many are small, but they have so much… character. Plus the nostalgia of course. Some of those had not been complete in over 30 years.
