LEGO CHALLENGE #5 Self Portrait


Create a self portrait out of LEGOs.

It can be a group of objects that tell a story of who you are.

It can be a 2 dimensional picture of you.

It can be a miniature 3 dimensional model of you.

Or anything else you think would represent your self portrait.

LEGO CHALLENGE #4: Maximum Height

This weeks challenge is called maximum height.

What I am looking for is a vertical structure, that is standing alone, without anything supporting it.

Once you are happy with the height of your creation, please measure it and let me know how high it is.

Sometimes structures built for height need to be wider than just one lego brick. You might think about how easily it would fall over if it was really thin, and how stable it is when you use a wider base.

Good luck, be patient and try again, (if you want). There is no winner here for maximum height, everyone has a different amount of Lego bricks available to them. The idea is to have fun, this is not a contest, just build as high as you can, with the bricks that you have.

LEGO CHALLENGE #3: Creature

Design a creature.

A creature, is a living organism, generally the non-human kind.

Insects, bugs, birds, animals, sea creatures, plants, fungus, micro-organisms, maybe even other worldly?

This creature can be something that already exists, or it can be something that you have just discovered.

It can live on Earth, or a different planet.

What I would like to know is its habitat - the environment in which it lives. You can tell me anything about this creature to describe it, like its name, what it eats, etc. Share as much or as little information as you like.

I look forward to seeing your creatures!

LEGO CHALLENGE #1: Macro Scale

Look through all your LEGO pieces, and choose just one.

Take that single piece and make a replica of it using as many LEGO pieces as you want. The goal in the end is to have a larger scale version of the original piece.Important note, please place the original small LEGO piece in your photo with your new Macro Scale creation, so everyone can see the two together, the size difference and how closely they resemble each other.
