Lego's are one of the reasons it is good to have a son....well he thinks he's outgrown them, but I loved getting him those complicated Lego sets and us putting them together.

A great benefit of having a son is you can get him all kinds of toys you want to play with!

I was wondering while I was looking at this - apparently has to manipulate the legos to make some of his shapes and he comments about having to chisel his finished piece...

so basically he makes a lego piece, then "carves" his finished image...

whats so special about that? ROFL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If he's paying 150-200 grand a year for lego, I can't imagine what the sculptures are bringing in...

Good for him...takes a lot of talent to learn how to make raw shapes, much less being able to transform inspiration into sculpture like this

Thx, Ronzo

I think the part you were reading about him chiseling was a hand sculpture he made incorrectly. He had to chisel out some pieces he had already glued in to reshape it.

I doubt he'd get paid if they weren't whole LEGOs on the finished product.

I wonder where he gets all the odd shaped pieces then...
