Massive Mario

I have copied these pictures and posts off Keith Brogan's forum which you can visit by clicking here. Further information is at the bottom.
I scanned a Mario action figure using the excellent NextEngine scanner...


The resultant mesh in the scanning application...


Imported into modo as OBJ and scaled to the size of the model I wanted to build (75cm). I used the bend tool to bend his arms closer to his body so the Lego model would be structurally stronger...


In a new layer I created a large array of Lego sized cubes which were approximatley the shape of the Mario mesh...


Using Solid Drill>Stencil, I was able to select only the cubes which intersected the Mario mesh...


The building begins...


Completed Lego model in all its 75cm glory...


Close-up...
The finished article
This 75cm Mario model was created by Keith Brogan, and you can visit his forum by clicking here. It's really good and looks really authentic and was made using a scanner, and a software called MODO to create a 3D net which he modelled his design on.

Bronze minifig sculpture

This Bronze Lego sculpture has been circulating around the Internet for ages. It's a bit like marmite, in that you either love it or you hate it. I love it, but there are loads of bad comments on MOC pages. All i'll say to those people is, it's art... deal with it! It was created by the brother of a guy called Casper, and you can visit his creation on MOC pages by clicking here.

Gominimango dance

This video was recently featured on gominimango.com and it's really good. It's a little too quick and you can't see what's going on some of the time, and it's a little bit jumpy and pixelated at times, bur it's generally very good. It was created by PE668 and you can visit the video on YouTube channel by clicking here. (You can find a higher quality vesion there).

Tsumiki's Tower of Blocks



Lego people can play with miniature toy blocks too, right? And, just to prove the point, Sugegasa has created a little vignette. This fella's called Tsumiki, and I think the simplicity of the design of this vignette makes it a perfect little creation. Well, done, Sugegasa. To see more pictures, click here.

Lego pharoah statue

UNS Gunship

Memory does it again with this cleverly designed UNS Gunship. The whole design is a weirdly-shaped prism, which fits perfectly into the cockpit windshield piece. With the added guns, great colour scheme, an intricate control pad and levers at the front, and of course that old 'Life on Mars' minifig, Memory does it again! For those of you who want to see the first version, click here.

Space Pirate Fleet


I'm back, with a new creation by that Brickshelf genius 'Memory '! Memory has a serious sense of style, and it shows in all his great creations (mainly machines: tanks, guns, spaceships). This creation shows that he is also a master of micro-scale building, with these tiny detailed spaceships! Yes, this is Memory's Space Pirate Fleet. To see more pictures of the individual spaceships, view the Brickshelf gallery here .

Giant Leprechaun


You know I said about the giant Leprechauns that do all my work? Well, in return, they wanted me to recognise their work on the blog. So, I went and found some Irish guy with a hat to keep them happy. Phew!
