Desk ornament turned three-month passion project turned official Lego set? Yes.

After East Alum and now freshman at University of Missouri-Kansas City, Octavio Galicia handcrafted three 3D Lego prototypes of the front full and base of a ship, his roommate wanted one of Galicia's own digital Lego models on his desk to enjoy. As both boys loved the video game Subnautica — an adventure game taking place underwater on an alien ocean planet — and specifically the Aurora Ship in it, Galicia used his Lego expertise to build the model of it for his roommate to relish.

“Originally it was for my roommate, I wanted to create something nice for him and I also wanted that challenge as it was a much larger set than I had ever made,” Octavio said. “While I was creating it, it was amazing, I was in awe of it. And I realized I didn’t want this to go to waste. I love this design and I think a lot of people will too.”

One-hundred hours placing 1,000 individual Lego pieces, a few hours every day dedicated to working on his own digital 3D model paid off when he posted it on the Lego Ideas website on the first day of 2023 —  Legos official website where designers can send their models in hopes of receiving enough votes to legitimize it as a set.
