Lego Factory

Post by Mike »

Wow, this is an amazing site. Lego Factory allows you to build your own lego model. Lego will then send you all the relevant parts for you to build your creation! I WANT one, i hope that the lego designer software works on a mac. :-D

Some of those photos make it look about 70m tall or something! Still, nice going. Part of me wants to see a giant free-standing lego ziggurat, but that would require an insane number of lego blocks. Maybe if everyone donated the old lego hiding in the attic?

A Lego Plotter made totally out of Lego save the addition of a small pin. It takes 30-40 minutes to complete a plot on a 60 x 90 cm page. :-D

The Hong Kong Lego User Group (wtf!?) are pretty dedicated folks... doesn't say how long it took them to build in the article. I'd like to think that it'll go on permanent display as it's a bit of a labour of love.

Oh my... that's a little crazy. The flood in Genesis reminded me of the Eddie Izzard joke about the evil ducks though. Heh.
