This MOC is made by the same fan designer of the Lego Insects ideas set 21342. I’m not sure what his current career is, but Lego should consider bringing him on as a set designer.

I'm taking a couple of years off from anything related to LEGO (my youtube channel, etc) to finish a degree in Physics, which I'm enjoying a lot. I still build some mocs because I love this, but without any schedule or making (long) videos on youtube.

I've considered applying to be a designer, but I prefer to focus on the university for a while. Plus, I already design stuff by my own (even if they stay just as MOCs) and I don't want to move to Denmark, so I don't know if I would be happy there).

Good luck for your future! It would be very nice to have some instructions for this Caterpie because, and I'm honest, I think it's some of the best lego pokemon I've ever seen.

I would pay you 5k for a true Vietnam Asian Style harbour MOC set design. You can submit it yourself to ideas or bricklink designer as long as the instructions are there, akin to Rivendell size

This...his...you...

I am so confused. Are you the 21342 designer or is he?

EDIT: comment was fixed, makes sense now, thanks.

OP is the fan designer 21342, he submitted the original design to Lego Ideas which was approved and turned into a set, he’s also a pretty well known Lego Youtuber that does MOCs, the channel name is the same as them OP’s username.
