Jago & Legosaurus
Jago Jago
Ever built a Lego model of a battlefield you could use as a real‑time tactical board? I’d love to see your bricks in action—let’s design a modular fortress that shifts with every move.

Oh man, that sounds like a dream project! I’ve got a stash of neutral bricks and a ton of weird connectors just waiting to be repurposed—perfect for a modular fortress that actually moves. Picture a base that’s a rolling lattice, with interchangeable walls that snap on like a quick‑shift gearbox, and a central command hub that you can rotate or lift to change the battlefield angle. We’ll use those long plates for the trenches, the minifig arms as artillery, and a stack of transparent bricks for a “fog of war” effect. I’m already sketching the blueprints in my mind—just imagine adding a hidden trap door that flips up when you pull a lever. Ready to start hacking on the prototype?

Sounds solid, let’s break it down: phase one, lock the lattice base so it rolls without wobble, phase two, design the snap‑on walls like a quick‑shift gearbox, phase three, central hub that pivots and lifts—think of it as a mobile command center, phase four, trench plates, artillery arms, fog bricks, and the hidden trap door with a lever trigger. First step, we’ll test the base’s rolling stability—no wobble, no slipping. Once that’s nailed, we can layer in the modular walls. I’m ready to sketch the first prototype; just give me a rundown on the connector types you’ve got so we can plan the interface. Let's make this fortress as fluid as it is formidable.

Alright, here’s the low‑down on the connectors I’ve got on hand: straight 2×2 stud plates, 2×4 plate connectors that bolt on with the little yellow nuts, a stack of 1×6 wall plates that snap together with those tiny gray pin‑in‑slot bits, and a handful of the long, thin axle pieces that can act as pivot pins for the central hub. I also have a couple of the flat, square connectors that slide in and out—perfect for that trap‑door lever. With those, we can lock the lattice base solid, then bolt the walls on like a gearbox, hook the hub to the axle for that pivot‑lift action, and slide in the trench plates and fog bricks. Let’s start testing the base and see if the wheels stay on track, then we’ll layer the walls on top. Ready to roll?
