Building With Bricks

 

 

So, yes I haven’t blogged in a while, but I haven’t had any Ideas lately. Also this blog is for ME to catalog my Lego creations for my future career. But now I have come up with one of the greatest ideas since sliced bread!ts.20120125t101709.2x4brick_red[1]

Yes to build or not to build, that is the question. And what a silly one at that.

 

     I decided to work with basic shapes instead of making a life sized model of something. (Because I’ve thought of doing that before but realized we don’t have a limitless supply of Legos.) So I decided to build a pyramid but it kind of turned into a temple sort of thing.

I also tried to make a sphere out of just bricks but it’s hard to get the curve right when making it as small as I did. It is between the shape of an egg and a sphere.

The bottom view probably looks the most like a sphere. If I made it like 2x2 feet, it would probably look a lot more like a ball then it does at this size, but we just don’t have enough of the same color…wait another brilliant idea! I’ll blog again when it’s finished. (I really did just think of something as I was typing.)

  1. Very nice work! Making a circle with square parts is an exceptional challange! Here's another - google some of the famous pyramids in history - and make the inside to match the designs - as well as the outside!

    great stuff - looking forward to the 'new idea'!
