LEGO Punk

So what's with the over-pronounced shadow? The base plates on either side of it? And those suspicious 5 railway sleepers?

All will be revealed later, but I'll leave you speculate for a while.

Today, and every day this week, I'll be releasing one image from a set. I'm not saying what the set is about. Nor, why it's here. But on Friday, there's be an unspecial announcement concerning it! (It coincides with my talk at Devs Love Bacon, but it's unrelated.)

The first image is this.

I'm sure I can muster some sort of prize if you can work out exactly what's going on.

A good example of how you can manipulate the 'standard' spherical model, to create a real world (curved) object.

Happily, the builder decided to not go Apply fan boi on it...

Well, that's what the creator said of it.

I personally think it's more of a mug _holder_. But what do I know...

Maybe I need more caffeine to wake myself up and understand it properly :)

Nom nom nom.

A gentle start back, after the chocolate-infused break. A typical egg, complete with yolk and transparent albumen - a subtlely I appreciate enough to include here.

There's something about Pink Floyd and Beatles albums that make them so perfect for LEGO remakes.

Probably partly due to the fact they're so iconic, and (in the case of the the former) there's rarely any need to have the (fairly homogenous) looking mini-figs on the cover.

I dread to think how the next generation is going to manage this same feat. There's no album covers, as such, just a photograph of the artist is a state of woeful undress. (Rihanna, I'm looking at you! Literally ;)

A different type of LEGO album cover today, i.e. not a mosiac, but some dressed up minifigs.

There is also a version of Lennon's "Two virgins" cover if you prefer dressed down minifigs. But I'll that image as an exercise for the reader!

So, guess what I'm listening to, today!?

A stunning album, to start the week.

Although this is the LEGO version. Obviously...
