Although they are toys, Legos inspire amazing creations. LEGO artists use small plastic bricks to create everything from robots and architecture. Engineers from the company also create new elements that enable builders to build more intricate models. Erik Varszegi, a Master Builder with the Lego Group in Billund, Denmark has created a new component this year that is a curved slope. It allows Lego users to create more slanted forms, while adhering to the strict color palette of the company. The slopes can also be used to create https://noelsbricks.com/2020/12/26/build-your-own-city-with-lego-design-construction-sets more dynamic shapes such as the curving staircase.
While certain Lego designs are the creations of professional designers, others are created by the renowned Lego Ideas set-design program. The Ideas line lets anyone create a set, and then get it produced, offering fame and a percent of sales to any designer who is able to convince 10,000 fellow designers that their creation is worthy enough to go into production. It’s no surprise that most elaborate and impressive sets are the ones that garner the most support especially when they include iconic scenes or characters from TV, movies or even real life.
Two space icons are among the most impressive Lego models including the NASA shuttle Discovery and the Hubble Telescope model. Each model comes with display plaques and a tiny Lego version of the scientist who developed the telescope. Other impressive models include a framed Rainbow and a Steampunk dragon, and a replica of the Westminster Palace.
