2022
January 17, 2023 Leave a comment
Another year comes to a close in Thirdwiggville, and it was another year that saw some challenging MOCs, and some fun little builds. For 2022 I was able to build: Synthe Combine, LEGO 42126 SVT8/10, LEGO 8440 Update, John Deere Scout, End Loader, Skid Excavator, LEGO 42136 Articulated Dumper, John Deere Axron, Off Road Knuckleboom Truck.









It was a prolific year for me, and this list even includes as couple of MOCs that I have not yet posted. I was even able to upload my 100th (!) MOC to Rebrickable, which was a goal I had for the year. In addition, I made good progress on the building goals I made for the year.
- A Combine to match the Atmos Tractor (completed)
- Another 42126 MOD (completed, twice)
- An attachment for the Unimogs (no, but I made different Unimog and made 4 attachments for that)
- A Garbage Truck (No, but coming soon)
- A small truck (completed)
- A system airplane (completed)
- A remake of 8440 (completed)
I am now fully committed to the small manual technic build. I recognize this is not what gets the likes and views, but it’s what I enjoy building, so this is what I’ll continue to build. It does mean that I am building faster, and getting to enjoy more types of builds, which works well with my desire to keep creating new things. Looking over what will come in 2023, it will be more of the same. Some builds I have started I am really excited about.
Just a quick note about Rebrickable. In 2021, I taught myself how to use Bricklink Studio, and I’m happy I did that. I have been able to create and upload some great instructions to Rebrickable and I have received some great feedback and affirmation. I’ll keep doing this as I enjoy it, and I am always excited to see another build make one of my designs. I try to keep as many of the builds free as I am able, but I do value Rebrickable, and want to forward some funds to them. I hope this will continue to bring value to the online LEGO community. You can follow my builds on Rebrickable here.
For 2023 here are my goals:
- Finish the Garbage Truck (finally)
- A 15 wide Unimog U5000
- Another alternative build
- Another old set update
- Some aircraft
- A spaceship
- A 15 wide car
Finally, As more people move to Instagram, feel free to see what I’m building there.
