Hey everyone!

I wanted to take a moment to drop in and share a huge, heartfelt THANK YOU to the r/Legoflowers community!

When I first started working on this Botanical Field Kit MOC, I knew I wanted to create something that captured the beauty and curiosity of botanical exploration—from the gear-driven sunflower in the front tray to the detailed flora study cards and specimen jars.

Seeing the genuine enthusiasm, constructive feedback, and support from fellow LEGO plant lovers here has been one of the absolute best parts of this entire journey. Thanks to your support, the project has officially hit 4,000 supporters on LEGO Ideas!

Every vote, comment, and share from this group has meant the world. We still have a way to go to reach the 10,000 goal, but reaching this milestone alongside such a passionate group of builders is a huge moment.

Thank you all for being such an incredible and inspiring community!

Hey everyone!

I just wanted to drop a huge THANK YOU to this amazing community. Thanks to your unbelievable support, we are now less than 100 votes away from hitting the 4,000 supporters mark on LEGO Ideas!

To celebrate this milestone, I’ve finally set up my workbench to turn the Botanical Field Kit from a digital render into a real-life physical model. The sorting stage is complete, and I couldn't be more excited to assemble it brick by brick.

Every single vote, comment, and share has brought us to this point, and I’m so grateful to have you along for the ride. Let's push through these last 100 votes and reach 4,000 together!

It transitions seamlessly from a secure, clean box into a fully detailed explorer's workstation.

Hi everyone!

I’m incredibly honored to share that my Botanical Field Kit was just featured in an article on brick.news, calling it "a naturalist's dream"!

We just passed 3,280 votes, and with your help, we can smash the 3,500 milestone next!

This project is a tribute to the 18th-century "Golden Age of Discovery." It’s designed to look like a vintage mahogany time capsule belonging to an early explorer. Inside the cabinet, every single instrument is entirely brick-built and fits into its own custom compartment:

• Optical Tools: A collapsible spyglass and a high-detail magnifying lens.
• Measurement & Precision: A working caliper, measuring tape, tweezers, and a paintbrush.
• Field Essentials: A charcoal stick for sketching and three glass-like test tubes.
• Specimen Storage: Bottles with custom labels ("Semina", "Petala") and botanical plates featuring illustrations (Lupinus and Prunus).

If you'd love to see this blend of history, science, and vintage aesthetics on LEGO shelves, please consider casting a vote. It only takes a few seconds and brings us one step closer to becoming an official set!

Thank you so much to this amazing community, and to brick.news for the lovely feature! Let me know what you think of the kit!

Hi everyone!

Here is a second project about the 18th century naturalist world I'm exploring.

Every single drawer has its own gold stud pull, and I topped it with some micro-builds like an hourglass, old research papers, and a tiny cloche dome with botanical samples.

Would love to hear your thoughts on the design and the animation!

Happy building!

Hi fellow builders! 🌿✨

I wanted to share my latest project currently live on LEGO Ideas: the Botanical Field Kit.

As a huge fan of the LEGO Botanical line, I wanted to create a premium display piece inspired by 18th-century naturalist explorers.

Everything you see is 100% LEGO—from the magnifying glass and telescope to the apothecary specimen vials and the custom botanical tables! The entire lab setup packs away perfectly inside the vintage travel case.

To make it a true display piece, I focused heavily on structural stability using an internal Technic skeleton, so the cabinet can be opened, closed, and handled safely without losing any pieces.

We just passed the 3,000 supporters milestone! If you’d love to see an official explorer kit join the Botanical family on store shelves, I would deeply appreciate your free vote!

From micro-scale to the real deal! 🔍

I’m on a mission to bring the Botanical Field Kit to LEGO shelves. If you love science, nature, and detailed builds, please consider supporting the project on LEGO Ideas.

We are almost at 3,000 votes, your click can make the difference! 🙌

I’m excited to share a closer look at the Magnifying Glass (ITEM No. 01) from my updated 'Botanical Field Kit'.

THE CHALLENGE: My goal was to achieve perfect symmetry on both sides without making it 'bulky' and, most importantly, with ZERO visible studs in the middle of the lens frame.

THE SOLUTION: It took several iterations, but by using advanced SNOT techniques, I managed to keep the frame sleek, realistic, and authentic to the vintage instruments used by early naturalists.

SPECIFICATIONS:

• Piece count: 56 bricks
• Symmetry: 100% (front and back)
• Fit: Perfectly stored in its dedicated compartment within the case.

If you appreciate smart building techniques and the beauty of nature, I'd love to hear your feedback on this V2 design!
