The Academy for Expiring Scientist - LEGO Model Tour 

I love the that the way its designed actually feels like a real lego set. this could easily be an official released set, and that is meant as a big compliment to your lego building skills

I love how the premise behind this isn't just a research facility, but a makeshift research facility made from an existing building. This bit of worldbuilding allows for such a creative way to express the set.

I’m going to be honest, while this looks beautiful and is amazing as a bricklink submission, this should be submitted on LEGO Ideas as well. I only say this because it would be sad if only a few people get to build this set. I hope it gets a big release someday. Bravo!

I couldn't get over to Bricklink to say I loved it fast enough - great model! I love the roof technique - how you use the teeth to hold the roof on. Also the plant with the minifig in it was hysterical!

I always love a good MOC where a fun story is behind it and not just made to look good or be realistic. I really hope your design will be chosen as an official set. You have my full support.

You can give the project some love here: www.bricklink.com/v3/designer-program/series-1/405/ Also, the name is obviously a play on words. The official name of the institution is The Research Academy for Aspiring Scientists, but due to a history of unfortunate 'incidents', the local residents have started using Expiring in the name.

1:55 sooo satisfying! Great build, as always!

Expiring? As in they're dying? I mean, we all are but still... 😁

3:34 It belongs in a museum Jason!

I love the easter eggs in this set, so cooool

This is stellar, I would buy it in an instant! Fantastic job!

As someone who fell-off of lego 15 years ago, those "brick style" 1x2 bricks look so cool, between those and the one's where you can have studs off one side

I absolutely love this MOC! Awesome! I hope it does well in Brinklink Designers Program. Love all the cool science aspects of the MOC but also the building design--the roof, the archways, those cool bushes, etc. Thanks for sharing how you built some of those things. Heading to brink link to double check that I've voted for this!!

This is not a children's toy. This is is a damn piece of art👏🏻

Literally every aspect of this is delightful. I would LOVE to add this to my Lego city

Beautiful beautiful set👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 I really like how the roof sections slide in, such a simple, but clever solution

I love the styling of this, a lot of people say it feels like a set, which I think is true to an extent, but it also feels very much like an early 2010s building moc like those seen in some independent books back in the day. Love it!

I love it. So well done!

I love it - cant wait to see it in stores!

Surely, aspiring? :o

This is brilliant, love it!🤌

So much detail is crazy 😱

This is amazing! It's definitely making me envision something like this as a modular! Such an awesome design!

This is phenomenal.

Beautiful!

Thank you for sharing your overview of the Academy for Expiring Scientists LEGO model! It sounds like an intriguing and unique set, and I appreciate you pointing out the arches and windows as particularly noteworthy features. I can imagine how those elements would lend a sense of grandeur and sophistication to the building, and add to its overall aesthetic appeal. It's always great to see how LEGO designers can use architectural details to elevate a model and make it stand out. I'm sure many LEGO enthusiasts will enjoy building this set and imagining all the scientific discoveries that could take place within its walls. Thanks again for sharing your thoughts on this exciting LEGO creation!

just a beautiful build

Great design, looks amazing - love it!

I love this so much!

Very nice design!

It's really beautiful 😍😍

This is awesome I want it so bad

This is beautiful

Lots of fantastic building techniques as per usual with you Jason! And a ton of life with the story being told inside the building. Not sure if you're into wood-working or not but you (maybe inadvertently) used a French cleat system to secure those roof panels... very clever!

Amazing!!

Loved watching your video, I think your design and execution of your idea is phenomenal.... All the best with Bricklink / LEGO Ideas ;o)

Great set !

I died when you said "a remote controlled submersible"

OMG you're a genius!

this is so cool! I love it and would love to see a whole university or school building like this!

Inside the box at 3:35 is the ark of the covenant. The number is from Raiders of the Lost Ark

Perfect just perfect

I was going to comment that I really like the greenhouse... and then you showed us the minifig being swallowed by the plant! So now I *love* the greenhouse! 😅

It looks amazing I really want this to become a lego set it would be amazing

Very cool!

love it😍

fantastic, this would look just fine in my city

Cool Ideas😃👍

Amazing

Great job! I wish I could build smth like this lol

So many details!! Great looking set. I'm proud to say I guessed right on the crate's contents.

0:23 Jason rules!!!

It is so amazing and incrediblely detailed, a bit cramped though on second thought😁😁😉

I need this as a lego set right now

As a scientist I LOVE this!

2:55 i love the explaining of gold by using a goldfish.

Happy Easter

This is very cool! ( i want this in mi house)

Nice 👍

BRILLIANT. Submit this to Ideas if you haven't already done so. I would buy this set in a (reanimated) heartbeat.

great engineering. lego could learn from that.

3:36 must be a real face-melting secret in there

You gotta release an instruction for this, its straight up fantastical!

Beautiful models as always! Where did you learn to design like this?

The Easter eggs 😂. I’m ready to buy it.

I love this build and also voted on brick link.

love that they shrunk the ark of the covenant...

3:33 - Ark of the Covenant

Inside the box is the ark of covenant

I’d love to see you on Lego Masters

hey, I see a toy at my local store have your logo and your signature, congrats

I really hope his becomes a set although I doubt I'll have enough money or space at home to buy it TwT

The ark of the covenant has been found!!!😎 What a great design.

Did you mean aspiring? Unless these scientists are about to die...

You should make a version of your useless machine but with the robot inventor

2:44 That guy is dead. The minifigure had a family and you're all laughing.

0:24 no way I just got hit with a Bill Nye reference 👏👏👏

BELIEVE

Ark of the Covenant is in the crate

3:33 I take it Dr. Henry Jones Jr. is an alumni? Or possibly a professor? Clever

9906753 was in hangar 51 ;)

9906753 is the identifier number for the crate that hold the Arc of the covenant in Indiana jones 😮

👍

Amazing build, I especially love the greenhouse and all the details, though is the name of the build a typo? Is it meant to be aspiring scientists?

As a scientist I can this looks really cool. What a pity the lego ideas submission is nowadays even skipped, because bricklink simply releases the better models in limited release.

Is the temple idol from indie in the crate?

Do the numbers on the box refer to the bionicle of the same name?

Couldn't event find any detail I should be nitpicking here. Maybe the design of the roof tiling but coming from my liking of the elaborate extreme of the big Ninjago building sets I am still not sure any of those similar designs (or the more conservatively looking but still unique roofing of the Modular Sets) would better fit this building. The interior is great, though.

Why is there a game controller in the oceanography lab? *Why is there a game controller in the oceanography lab???*

hiii!!

The academy for *expiring* scientists. Would thar mean the scientists are dieing a.k.a. expiring?

Did you mean to name it Expiring or Aspiring?

These are beautiful - the name confused me a bit. Why expiring instead of aspiring?

im guessing there's a dino egg in the box? cos why else would the dinosaur chase the dude back through the portal

Ark of the covenant

The ark of the covenant?

3:33 - I can't guess.

If this was a real set, Lego would sell it for at least 300 bucks.

Timeportal

i was wondering if you could make pac man or something like that?
