LEGO Americana Roadshow: Building Across America I just checked out this traveling exhibition from LEGO and was quite impressed. The scale ... -

Holy fuck. It looks like she actually built the entire thing at minifig scale.
ReplyDeleteThat is a pretty unreal amount of money tied up in bricks alone. Conservatively around $4 million I'm an idiot in bricks.
ReplyDeleteAlso, Stripes The Tiger, time to up yo game!
If you go with the average price per brick of $0.104, 400,000 bricks would come to approximately $41,600.
ReplyDeleteOh shit, see what happens when I try to maths in the morning....
ReplyDelete40k, 1000+ hours.... Dedicated? Maybe obsessed ?
ReplyDeleteNot O. M. G. ... But O. C. D. !

Nah, she's just dedicated to her art project.
ReplyDeleteIn a similar note, there is a Sketch-Up modeler who is building and furnishing a castle of absurd proportion... all from scratch. Any sort of effort, lego or virtual, along those lines is pretty staggering when one starts to build or model even simple props, never mind expansive environments.
ReplyDeleteJoey C Twilight is misogynistic bullshit, and 50 Shades of Grey hurts the BDSM community.
ReplyDeleteThough it should be said that Harry Potter has some pretty deeply racist overtones in it as well (muggles, pure breds, etc).
ReplyDeleteFenriq deVelo I believe that's because the books are, in a not particularly subtle way, about racism. The bad guys are basically stylized European racist groups.
ReplyDeleteYonatan Zunger True, it made it very easy to talk about with my kids while we watched and why it was wrong to treat others that way!
ReplyDeleteFenriq deVelo We're halfway through reading the HP books to our 6-year-old (our 10-yo is currently on book 6 on her own...she can't stand listening to us when reading it herself is so much faster ;-) and we've had some really terrific discussions about how people treat each other, what it means to to do what is right versus what is expected, and so on. Great stuff...families should read together more often.
ReplyDeleteCraig Froehle I cannot agree more. I read to my kids most every night I have them. Lately we've been listening to Roald Dahl's James and the Giant Peach on audiobook before bed. It is excellent (although I wish Dahl didn't use such colorful language and insults).
ReplyDeleteThat's amazing ! I wonder where in her house she built it, it must take up a lot of space !
