LEGO GWR King evolution
In 2017 I got my first LEGO set in probably ten years. The new Hogwarts Express. As I was looking up how to mod it, I found SmithMovies showcase on his Hall class. The rabbit hole leading to his King was short but indulgent as I vowed to make my own.
Isaac was super helpful with his reference shots posted of the LDD model. They showed more detailed outlines of piecework to reverse engineer. Luckily I Had an easy time finding the third party elements that had been recommended, and once everything was sewn together I had my first ‘MOC’. And it’s set me deeper into the hobby than I’d have believed I’d ever be involved lol.
5 years later and a pandemic of isolation to focus on techniques and my own build style, we now have the same model bumped up in scale and repurposed so that the end product is completely my own. I know I’ve been over posting this King a lot, but there is a lot of significance for me in having completed it. Almost like it’s full circle. Idk. That’s probably more bullshit being given to the sentiment than is deserved but whatever lol. Very grateful to visually be able to see personal growth :)
