Fellow Bloks Fans,
I completed a MEGA custom Castle Grayskull build in early April 2024. This was made by adding the pieces from a second Castle Grayskull to build the missing side, back, & roof, heavily referencing Icon Heroes' CG polystone statue while building. I did not create instructions during the process & only took a few progress pics. In FaceBook MOTU enthusiast groups, I posted some pics, a video link, and provided thanks for all the inspiration by MEGA Construx, Icon Heroes, & The Power & The Honor Foundation.
Some viewers requested I make & share instructions so they could mimic the build. I resurrected my BrickLink / Studio account, downloaded PartDesigner, and started creating MEGA pieces to use in custom build directions where official like-kind LEGO pieces were not available. It is taking forever. I'm wondering if there is an easier way. Has anyone created a resource of MEGA parts they already created to use in Studio? Will MEGA grant me access to their design app so I may use it to create custom build directions (I sent Mattel that question online on Monday and await email response)? Searching the web to answer these questions brought me here. I see the catalog of MEGA parts, but wonder is there a similar catalog of .part files. Or is there some way to import the pics from this forum's catalog into PartDesigner to avoid part recreation. I've so far created/tested 9 MEGA parts to use in Studio, but have a long way to try to complete the entire Castle Grayskull parts list. I would most appreciate any insight from more experienced Bloks engineers and custom directions builders.
