[@FrutzLovesLegos]

Huh. This was interesting. I'm pretty fast with masking, but I can see why it might be nice to do this option. You make it look amazing. I can't see the stick at all. Thumbs up! Frutz wuz here.

[@Brickology]

Frutz LovesLegos thank you very much!!! I’d like to GET faster with masking lol. There are instances where masking is a better technique to use, but yes you’re right - what I show is a fast way of getting it done.

most of the time its masking

[@aal0n243]

Wow. This is really clever. Wonder why I haven’t thought of that. I thought he was going to place something to hold the dynamite on the floor and erase the object later.

[@Brickology]

Thank you very much! I usually try to do everything in camera if possible. Masking is incredibly useful and you can do just about anything with it, but there’s something cool about pulling it off without that. Plus it’s a time saver 😂👍

[@bmstudios7774]

But he said without masking

[@watagma6418]

dude he. said without editing

[@phantomfrivolity2169]

I guess you could say Emmit is a Pratt for catching the dynamite. ... Okay, I'll show myself out now.
