This is really very clever indeed

Or, some people have too much time on their hands.

Well if they're going to have too much time on their hands, at least they use this time in persuits of cleverness to entertain those of us who are somewhat geeky :o)

didn't you make things like that as a kid ? I have seen far more complicated ones than that particular building... not sure i even recognise it... but hey :-) such is.
We should invest in lego this year

and now i realised what it is, i feel like a shmuck, so no change there then... still it doesn't look too impressive until you realise exactly what it is and i still maintain i have seen far more complicated ones done.

O.O

I'm still looking at that picture, trying to figure out how they've done that....

Very impressive, but now I want to either see it in person, or an explod-a-gram....

Aha!

I thought it might've been something like that, but I couldn't quite trace it out in the picture.

Many thanks.

Very cute...but I wonder if LEGO has cost too much of the perspective. I mean, LEGO is grounded in our physics, so needs to have enough structural support...so the ability to tweak the perspective with LEGO blocks might be somewhat limited.

A very long lens would have probably helped the illusion - but the different brick count isn't obvious until you look for it.

escher would have liked lego
