The Best Lego Designs
Legos are toys, but they are also the source of incredible creations. LEGO artists make use of small plastic bricks to build everything from robots to architectural models. Even the engineers from the company design new components that allow builders to build more complex models. Erik Varszegi is a Master Builder at the Lego Group, Billund, Denmark. He came up with a new element for this year, namely the curved slope. It lets Lego users make more slanted forms while adhering to the company’s strict color palette. The slopes can also be used to create more dynamic shapes such as a curving staircase.
Some Lego sets are the result of professional designers’ work, while others are the product of the well-known Lego Ideas program. The Ideas line lets anyone create a set, and it is able to be made. It offers fame and 1% of sales for any designer who convinces 10,000 peers that their creation is worthy of be made. It’s no surprise that more elaborate and awe-inspiring sets are the ones that garner the most popularity especially when they include iconic scenes or characters from TV, movies or even real life.
Two space icons are among the best Lego models of the space shuttle Discovery and Hubble Telescope. NASA shuttle Discovery and the Hubble Telescope model. Each telescope includes a plaque to display and the miniature Lego version of its inventor. Other impressive models include the framed rainbow, steampunk dragon, and a replica of the Palace of Westminster.
