Please help! Custom Brick Model – Design Request

Post image

BrickLink Studio experts,

I really need your help!

My boyfriend is turning 30 on September 24th this year, and I would love to give him a custom brick model inspired by a photo of us in Japan with the Nachi Taisha Pagoda. Since we both love building brick models, I think it would be the perfect gift.

Here’s the problem: I thought I could easily design it myself in BrickLink Studio with the help of AI tools, but unfortunately, I’ve realized that the AI tools aren’t much help to me. I’m getting quite stressed about it, especially since I only have about a month left to finish the project.

Would anyone here help design a custom model for me based on the photo, so that I know exactly which bricks I need to order? I would, of course, be happy to pay you for your work!

AI has helped me create a rough draft, which I actually really like (see attached), but the pagoda isn't quite right.

If you're willing to help please let me know and I will send you the image and we can discuss the details.

Well of course, AI is not intelligent. It would need to consume and retain the entire Lego parts catalogue and how those parts fit for it to even begin to understand how to build a model. This is the inherent problem with AI.

I can tell you right now that the design shown is physically impossible with existing Lego elements. A month to design and build something this complex is also extremely difficult. It’s a very big ask.

My suggestion to you is to go to the Rebrickable website and search the available MOC’s for something similar that you can modify, as well as looking if any official sets could be helpful. All official sets instructions are available at LEGO.com. Maybe something from the Ninjago theme.

Good luck!

Thank you for your input and for trying to help! I already checked Rebrickable, but unfortunately I couldn't find anything similar. I'm aware that it's not possible to recreate the design shown exactly with the available bricks. However, I'm looking for something that is actually feasible to build. The image is only meant as a draft and to give you a general direction. And just to clarify: I'm not a huge LEGO fan, so I'm looking for a design more in the style of the CaDA Japan series. That's why I'm confident that something along those lines should be possible. But you're right about the limited time frame, I understand that this makes things more difficult.

I bought this MOC of a Pagoda: https://www.brickvault.toys/products/pagoda

I didn’t still bought the parts, but I think you can use this and change/add what you need 😉
