What a wonderful idea for walls
Tuesday, September 25, 2007 by ZubaZ | Discussion: Wallpapers
I used to love Legos as a kid. I still buy sets now and again but
fairly rarely. Most of the new sets have peices that seem so
specialized that I miss the imanginative part of building from my youth.
That's not to say I don't have an occasional lust for some of the MindStorm line or the Star Wars stuff; I have a wife and a budget you know.
But I saw the ads at this site and remembered teh joy af taking square blocks and building a round world; Farms and cities, homes and offices, castles and canyons.
These adverts won't work well as walls as they are . . they are wonderful but not to any usable scale.
Do they inspire you? If you have Google SketchUp you can download some Lego pieces here. Anyone want to take a shot and coming up with something?

65 and have all the train sets and Star Wars AT-something-or-others all over. Not to mention Lego Belvilles and Technics and wrist watches, too! Oh, yeah, and lego candy bricks from the bins at the market!

Meccano is supreme! When I was a kid, the only place you could find it here was F.A.O. Schwartz in NYC. Had Erector brand m'self.

Legos are the ultimate Transformers... you can change them from anything to anything. I'm 44 and still over over 5,000 of them!
