LEGO Punk

A rather funky combination of LEGO here, being useful in creating a prosthetic.

Unfortunately, all I can imagine is a world of LEGO-based Terminators...

A very simple model, but a very special place.

An epic TV show. An epic colour scheme for the model ;)

Elegance and eloquence, together in one model.

Here's a handy reminder image for the relative sizes of various gears.

I used it in the model I shall show on Monday. Unfortunately, I don't have the gears necessary to make my model 100% accurate :(

But that's no the fault of a PNG... obviously.

When it comes to re-creating classic movies, Star Wars is the obvious one that springs to mind. Which makes it more interesting/impressive/strange that someone would go for the Bond film, Casino Royale.

At least their effort wasn't wasted on something like Die Another Day...

Mmmm... LEGO apparel is one thing. A LEGO hat is... well.. weird...

I think the only reason models are pretty is distract from the fact that the clothes are BAD!

(even LEGO ones, sometimes..)

Back in 1989, apparently, there were punks. And LEGO punks, who made this working telephone.

Personally, I can't see how the buttons were connected and made to work. But they're resting on the keys below, then it should work.

I wanted to post this last week, but got highly distracted, which meant everyone else and his dog has linked to this blog.

But, for those that haven't seen it, here's a machine that plugs (and unplugs) LEGO bricks repeatedly until they no longer cling to each other.

It's a good first draft of a machine, but I suspect that we need a lot more tests, from a lot of different machines, until we get a true figure.

Tim Fegan built this version of the famous blue box that appeared recently on LEGO Punk. But he had enough bricks to build the whole thing.

Lovely!
