LEGO Stuff! With LEGOs!

Funny enough, I had a big tax refund, and I was considering ordering it, useful for my D&D games, and LEGO, the best of two worlds!

About a third of the way done, going by number of bags and manuals.

Gelatinous Cube!

Finished the building. Just the Dragon left to do. It’s a super cool and fun set with lots of cool little elements.

It also made for an excellent distraction yesterday after I got a text from my mom that she was taking my dad to the ER. He was admitted to the hospital for observation but should be fine and released soon.

You passed me. I’ve only had the chance to do one more bag since I posted the last photos.

Like I said, I needed a distraction.

It’s good to have some houseplants that won’t suffer from my neglect!

Worst LEGO instruction I have ever seen.

Otherwise the kit is coming along great! 15 of 34 done.

Is that a printing error or is that meant to signify… something?

Probably a copy paste error from the Catch 22 set instructions

If you zoom in REAL close, you can see that it is two VERY SLIGHTLY different greens.

It wants you to use the slightly darker green, not the infinitesimally lighter green.

I’ll take your word for it :saluting_face:

My brother-in-law is colour blind and he would 100% hate this :laughing: I actually bought him and my sister a set which was a Lego version of one of their wedding photos a couple of years ago, and I’m hoping that he took it as a nice gesture rather than a cruel joke, because there are a lot of very similar shades of white person skin tone… :grimacing:

Never thought about Lego colour blindness. I wonder if they do anything in their design process to mitigate potential issues, like choosing different shapes for confusable colours.

I work in visual effects for film and tv and have just started working with someone who’s colourblind. As you can imagine it’s unusual in such a visual industry. He gets around it by comparing the red/green/blue channels in an image to make sure they look correct individually (most software we use has an option to display a single channel in greyscale)

I’m imagining a set of glasses for colour vision difference boardgamers with a rotating disk of colour filters for each eye. And a fake nose and moustache.

Maybe this will be the next big thing and I should start writing an over-broad patent.

I don’t think you can do it with passive filters, but it would be a handy mode for AR goggles. The code is already out there: Coblis — Color Blindness Simulator – Colblindor

All done!

Some minifigs to try and show the ridiculous scale of the dragon…

A tonne of fun. Great set, 9/10.

Now on to the Medieval Village! Strong start already.
