Prairie Dogs Kinetic LEGO Sculpture

Watch as I assemble this kinetic LEGO sculpture of a group of prairie dogs hanging around, and in, their burrow. I show how the mechanisms work for each as I put the model together. This model was a collaborative project built with Kristal.

[@carstenfrandsen]

Once again - LEGO should hire you no matter what. Your kinetic sculptures are magnificent.

[@jean-marc7999]

so perfect, plus the fact that prairie dogs are my favourite animals!!

[@mohamedfadil6912]

Great !!

[@rabbie4578]

LEGO should hire you to design a sculpture series.

[@repapeti98]

I wonder what it's like to just... have the necessary pieces.

[@Pickchore]

Depends on how much Lego you have and your storage facilities. Too much without the adequate space can be hell. And sorting is an arduous task.... More Lego = More problems.

[@repapeti98]

@@Pickchore I don't have problem with storage, all my parts are sorted by colour in 30 see-through plastic boxes and screw sorters that I bought from OBI. The problem is that I don't have many of each piece as I don't order from Brickling regularly. Wish I did.

[@technicallypossible]

I think Jason is continually buying random sets to keep the variety and quantity of parts high.

[@StaxRail]

My Lego is supposed to be sorted into different parts, eg Technic, large specific (eg trees), etc. Most of it is now not sorted, but then the rummaging around is part of the experience. Having the boxes anyway certainly helps though, helps split it up into more manageable 'chunks'

[@guj3440]

@@StaxRail I've been procrastinating for so long on sorting my LEGO, but summer and school being out will hopefully give me the time necessary.

[@malignusvonbottershnike563]

These models are so meticulously crafted, to the point where you can take us through every detail of your creative process by breaking the model into easy to digest chunks. I really enjoy this style of video, and your technical ability never fails to amaze me! Not to discredit the aesthetics by the way; the model looks beautiful, and those prairie dogs are adorable, each one unique and lovable!

[@Lego_SML]

you manage to make everything look so simple! your work is a jaw dropper every time

[@evilspoons]

The step-by-step demonstration of everything is fantastic, a stark contrast to some people who seem to not want to "divulge their secrets" or whatever.

[@twiggee666]

That’s great, amazing how good the dogs look and you were able to get 4 different animations on one motor...really nice!!!

[@simjos]

I love the different clever techniques you use to pause the movement of the animals. I't wouldn't look as good if everything was just oscillating. Fun build and good editing as well!

[@snitchell431]

The stuff that this guy makes blows my mind, it is so amazing

[@HeathBlythe]

The build up to the final climax, this is art, not just bricks of Lego conjoined in a pre-planned way.

[@crazytunesbak8835]

I am stunned by the cleverness of this man! And his wife!

[@AdvancePlays]

Was the idea to have each dog's movement cycle with incrementally greater periods? Seems that way, going anti-clockwise from the tail wagger! Love it

[@JKBrickworks]

Pretty much. We definitely didn't want them in sync, to make it a little more visually interesting.
