I don’t usually write about projects that are not complete, but today I’m making an exception. I’ve been working on a sculpture of a hand signing ‘I love you’. It still needs a lot of work, especially the back – which is why it’s only pictured from the front. However, since I haven’t posted much lately I decided to put up a sneak preview of this project.

Updated 08/29/2008:  This project is complete!  I’ve completed a full article with many pictures here.

Back in May I started on a Smaller LEGO Chess Set sized for 4×4 squares, which is the size of the official LEGO chess set boards.  Finally, today, I have completed a full set of red and yellow pieces.  Here it is, on one of the official boards mentioned above.

I’ve built another video game mosaic, this time inspired by The Legend of Zelda from the original Nintendo. (See several other video game mosaics posted in mosaic category). Once again, I found a cross stitch plan to use as a guide, this time on .tastethehappy.

Like I did with the Pacman LEGO Mosaic, I’m showing a thumbnail-sized image here, because it simulates seeing the mosaic from a distance, which makes it look more realistic to the game. (The thumbnail links to the full-sized image.)

Here are full plans to build the basic 10X Scale Minifig Sculpture pictured below.

I’m back home from my first visit to Brickworld, and I’m disappointed. Not because the LEGO creations weren’t good, because they were amazing. But rather, because I’ll have to wait a whole year to go back as a registered attendee. Next year, I plan to be there for the entire event and will bring some of my sculptures and mosaics to display. The up side is that it gives me a whole year to build new items to bring.

As promised, here are some pictures from Brickworld 2008.

There were large scale train setups by several different LEGO Train Clubs. These layouts had so much detail packed into a small area that you could keep coming back to the same display and find interesting things you missed.
