Standard-Size LEGO GBC Bucket

Time to go back to building GBC modules, and for that, I need a good-looking bucket of standard size [1]. I designed it especially for videos, with windows on the side to show the contents.

BrickLink's Studio 2.0

I used BrickLink's Studio 2.0 [2] to design the bucket. If you're not familiar with this software, I highly suggest trying it out. You can build anything you want without buying the pieces, and it has a photo-realistic renderer, as well as a building instructions maker.

It's being constantly updated with new LEGO pieces as they get released, and you have full control over hinges and rotating parts at any stage of your build. Both of which were weak points in all previous LEGO designers, including the now discontinued official LEGO Digital Designer.

Here's a comparison showcasing the power of the photo-realistic renderer. One of the images below is an actual photo, while the other one is a 3D render. Try to guess which one is which.

Building instructions

As per my custom, here are the building instructions, although this one is not a complicated build.
