My author/contributor name would be "VoxelGuy".

And you can of course alter/update/correct all of my files.
It's YOUR Github page, i'm happy to help contribute but in the end this page is yours and you should upload what you want to upload.

I just made instructions for "918: One Man Space Ship", I still need to test it but i think it could be a fun build.
And i think i will do more "Creators" set in the future, i love to build them in real life, most of them have very standard pieces and are quick fun builds.

Thanks again for sharing (It's super cool to see my setlist growing in-game ^^) and I will keep an eye on this forum page to see any updates and share my instructions when i finish bunch of them!

I set up the github, I'll grant, but without your enthusiasm I'd probably be doing fewer sets and maybe, one day, someone else might be interested in helping maintain the collection or helping to refactor them, if necessary, if there is a new version of Bricksperience in the future - after all I wouldn't be doing this if I didn't enjoy sharing! :D

Anyway, if you're happy for me to contribute to your files I'll do so but I'll ask before doing so for fear that you have already got better versions! :) - as it is I'll do what I have so far in the next couple of days and you can prod them in case I broke them! ;)

I just uploaded a few new sets to github and I think that included 918... great minds think alike! :D - I'm sorry to have replicated the work though) but I would be happy to see your version to find out how you dealt with the missing bricks! The others I did were three from Lord of the Rings (I tried another two but there were just too many non-standard bricks, I'm not doing any more unless I desperately like them as they're rough to get working), and a couple more from Classic Space and Town :) - missing the moon crater baseboard though :(

Have fun :)

P.S. I plan on doing more Town ones at the moment as I find doing buildings quite satisfying and I'll add an option on the huge greengrocer building if I may - but that'll be at least a week to do I'd guess. Maybe some more space ones if I find some with fewer missing blocks but I'll update you with those later :)

I did "926 Command Center" and it was super cool! Thank you for thoses amazing new instructions!!

I have recorded myself doing it :

Love the video, I play non-VR so it's nice to see how it looks in VR... making me think twice about some of the taller builds though... do you find taller builds (like the "Pet Shop") to be harder to handle in VR?

Yeah it's way harder to do the "big" sets in VR I think.

You have no "upgrades" in VR, you only pick and place the bricks.
It work great for small sets but I think it's a little bit tidious and take a lot of time for big sets.

Also wearing the headset for a long periode of time can be a little bit unconfortable, i like to do small or medium sets so i don't wear the headset for too long

Ohhh, I didn't think about the system for collecting and placing blocks being different... can you at least use both hands simultaneously?

I suppose it makes it much more like the real thing - though I imagine manipulating the blocks is harder than real life... though in real life I always enjoyed the harder and bigger sets so maybe I'm biased in that way! :D - I got a maximum of one set a year around New Years and was done in a day - I spent a lot more time redesigning the sets I had than I did following the instructions so maybe that's why I don't mind fixing up these ones with missing blocks! :P - definitely some ingenuity needed but sometimes I just have to call the set undoable (about half a dozen so far) or else have a gap (I try to keep them small or inconspicuous!) If it means removing more one one block due to something being missing then that's not good news for its chances :/

Anyway, having said that, there are two more new space themed ones I just added today, plus some updates and fixes (nothing major); I reckon they are medium sized (some two hundred or so bricks) - one is from Classic Space (late 70s) and one a special from Legoland (early 70s), probably the earliest space set made and only just after the first moon landings so not so surprising! :D - still waiting for them to return after the end of the Apollo programme... bet they didn't expect it would take this long after the first bunch *sigh* Anyway, test moon space station is going into orbit and the rest is well on its way to readiness so... *fingers crossed* we might even see some set designs be more accurate than we might imagine! :D ;)
