melty’s LEGO
My journey on YouTube started 7 years ago, when I discovered a community of LEGO Nerf gun builders. As an avid gamer at the time, I was eager to join.
I started out by learning from tutorials on the platform. After building up a good foundation of techniques, I spent all my free time outside of school reverse engineering other people’s mechanisms to recreate and improve on them. I distinctively remember my grandmother yelling for me to get my meal or go to sleep, because I was so immersed in building them.
As I became more experienced, I started to innovate new mechanisms, pioneering a set of ultra-realistic LEGO models that combine shell ejection, blowback and hammer-based triggers in a compact form.
