Tree of Musical Life, ANOTHER Lego Contest!

Hi everyone, welcome to a Legomatic post! In this post, I'll be showing the Tree of Musical Life, my entry for the Lego IDEAS contest, Music To Our Ears(enter while you still can!) I'll go through each part individually, to explain it all.

Here is the Tree of Musical Life, which looks a little weird until you notice the trunk is a quarter note, slightly tilted. At the very base is the first flute ever created, which I believe planted the music that came into the world. From there, music sprouted out into different forms that we know today.

In this model, we have(from left to right):

An Australian playing a Didgeridoo

A Native playing an Animal Skin Drum

An American playing a Electric Guitar

An International Pop Star on her Mic

A European on a piano

A Scot playing his Bagpipes

While they are all vastly different, they all came from the same joy, the same desire, to make music, the one thing we can all understand one way or another.

Since I don't own that many Lego musical instruments, I had to build most from scratch. The piano uses white grilled pieces as keys, the bagpipes uses brown telescopes as whatever those tubes are, and the native drummer uses a skeleton handle as his stick.

The build went through multiple revisions, first having a solid trunk, then having the flute being the trunk, and then finally, the music note as the trunk. Good MOC's have to go through multiple ideas and revisions. As well, I decided to add the people in after I built them, to give them personality.

And that's it for now. Thanks if your coming from Lego Ideas, hope I can have your support! Next time, I hope I can show some Steampunk builds, and I'll see you then.

My First Post: Fighters and Distracters

Okay this is my very first post so don't blame me on mistakes. Here is my fighter class on mini spaceships (I will show how to build the first ship in a later post!) Here is the "Distracter" class of spaceships (I will also show how to build the long red ship later on!) Hope you liked my first post!

Starnight - Original Spacecraft

Hello and WELCOME to a new post from Legomatic! Last time we looked at a cutom Slave 1 moc, and today we're showcasing another Moc, The Starnight. If you are coming from Lego Ideas, welcome! If you are coming from Reddit, also welcome! Let's jump right in. A bit of backstory, I had to take apart my favorite Lego set of all time, set 70595 NINJAGO Ultra Stealth Raider for a school project. Once that happened, I couldn't let it's legacy go to shame. To let it live on, I built the Starnight, a space fighter built in the same style, that's sort of a shadow of the original set. The Starnight's dimensions are about 7.25"x 5.5" x 2.5" (in studs, about 23 x 17.5 x 8), so it's pretty small. Inside you can find a spacious cockpit, with enough room to comfortably seat 2 minifigures, 3 if you don't care about comfort. On either side is a 6 stud shooter, something which the original set also had. I might update some o...

Steampunk Sentry and AI! Lego Ideas Idea

Hello and welcome to a post from Legomatic, and today we'll be looking at my first attempt at building in Steampunk, a fantastical concept that is extremely fun to build in. If you are from Lego Ideas, please consider supporting my project, it would mean a lot. I imagine the story behind this, is that in the modern world, an old, fanatical AI developed back when steam engines were used in every device has watched the world develop before him. He is insulted by the gleaming, white, seamless devices and wants to bring back what once was. In order to make his dream reality, he has renovated one of his long dead masters projects into something a little more sinister, to exact his vision upon everyone else, whether they like it or not. Here is the machine, The ST33m 550, a walker armed with dual rodburn cannons. It runs off coal(of course), stored in a internal tank, which then heats rods of metal within to white hot temperatures, which are then expelled out the end, bu...
