Some of my favorite things are opening the hatch revealing the detailed minifigure interior,and of course all the minifgs. Chewie is pretty much essential to any Star Wars set – he looks great here too. And the two pilots are both excellent figures. TheSnowtrooper has some lovely printing on his legs, and Hoth Lukeis another figure with brilliant leg printing. Finally, we have Darth Vader himself. He doesn’t say anything (as far as I know!) But he looks great. He has a newish headpiece which I think is an improvement on the old one, and his body print is excellent too. I’ve really enjoyed watching your videos and seeing your models. I was wondering if you could make a walking AT-AT walker mechanism. I would really appreciate it. I was also wondering if every thing is all right because it’s been over 3 months since you’ve posted your last video. I would really appreciate if you could respond shortly. Out of the three that I do on a regular basis, it’s before I step on the Lego that I think ‘Oh, this is going to be a bit uncomfortable,’” he says, laughing. But there’s another question about why Lego walks are becoming popular: Why would anyone want to subject themselves to walking on sharp, pointy bits of plastic? Why would we do something so painful? Well, one answer is that it makes us better people.In 2006, Scott Bell earned a spot in the Guinness Book of World Records for the longest-ever barefoot walk over hot coals—250 feet of glowing hot embers, at 1,200 degrees Fahrenheit. Eight months later, he smashed that record with another fire-walk, this time 326 feet. This is an update to the model I originally designed in 2015. I finally sat down to put together building instructions for it, and took the opportunity to update the design while I was at it. The core walking frame is essentially the same as the original, but the release of some new pieces allowed me to improve the exterior design of the model. At-at walkers are much larger than At-st walker and are made for moving across open terrain. They are also equipped with heavier weapons, making them more suited for combat. On the other hand, At-st walkers are smaller and more agile, making them better suited for scouting missions or guerrilla warfare. Now, he runs an events company in the United Kingdom. guiding other people over hot coals and the occasional bed of broken glass as part of corporate team-building exercises and charity events. But walking just six-and-a-half feet over 2,000 Lego pieces? Bell usually gets someone else on his team to do it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KOyhl4FkOAY Video can’t be loaded because JavaScript is disabled: Gravity Powered Walking LEGO Animals (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KOyhl4FkOAY)

A neurochemical explanation even undergirds the pro-social benefits of shared, ritualistic pain. During these high arousal states, humans are flooded with all kinds of intense neurotransmitters and hormones, including dopamine, oxytocin, vasopressin and serotonin. Some of these are linked to the creation of social trust and even love—oxytocin and vasopressin have both been popularly (and somewhat myopically) labelled “love” or “cuddle” hormones. Oxytocin is associated with inducing feelings of trust in those around you, reducing fear, and increasing empathy, and serotonin is implicated in reducing anxiety. Meanwhile, dopamine, which is linked with the brain’s management of reward and risk, also makes you feel good about the whole thing. All of this means that evolutionarily, shared painful experiences can stimulate bonding and group cohesion, and create meaning for people.Glass-walking, which looks incredibly painful and is perhaps most similar to Lego walking, can actually be relatively painless. To prepare a glass walk, the pieces are typically broken to fairly small size, then poured onto the flat surface and patted down to ensure a more uniform walking surface. Once the walker steps on to the path, the glass shifts and flattens further, and the walker is distributing his or her weight evenly over many potentially sharp points – the “bed of nails” effect. This means that no one piece has enough pressure applied to break the skin or even set off the many pain receptive nerves in the feet. It’s been on my todo list for a while to see what kind of maze I could design by combining the parts of another LEGO set with the 21305 Maze set. I finally decided to see what I could come up with using 75099 Rey’s Speeder. Last week, I was in St. Louis for the FIRST Championships, showing off some robots in the LEGO Education booth. Unrelated to the robotics event, they had a table full of white parts, mostly from the Architecture Studio set, for people to build with. It’s a very interesting exercise to build using a single colour. You focus a lot more on the shapes of what you are creating, using texture to add detail instead of colour differences. I definitely wandered over to that table whenever I had a chance. Who can resist a table full of pieces? One model that came out of it was a micro scale Millennium Falcon. It wasn’t very accurate to the ‘real’ thing, as there was a limited selection of parts, but upon returning home I thought I would try to make a more accurate version at the same scale. You can have them standing as a display on a shelf, or carefully move the legs so they appear to be walking or even falling!
