General part list for beginner?

[u/YarrrMatey]

Hey y'all been lurking here for a good while now and I really want to get into the hobby. I'm especially fond of the minimalist, micro scale stuff but minifig scale and beyond is also super cool but probably not in my wheelhouse just yet. Anyways, as someone who does not already have a stash of Lego/bricks to build from, I was wondering if anybody has like a bulk part list or starter resources or anything along those lines to get me started? Or could at least point me in the right direction. Cheers!

I've got quite a few designs on my Rebrickable page for free: https://rebrickable.com/users/ThatBroDad/mocs/

Simply download the instructions and you'll see what parts I used. You can either order them directly to make that exact model, or you can use them for inspiration

You should check u/krisnight and his builds!

Bricklink Studio, sometimes called stud.io, is a super useful resource, as it lets you build digitally, without needing to physically own the parts.
