The number of 1×2 bricks needed in each layer to build a stable round wall tends to be around 72, give or take a few bricks. The longer your wall, the more flex it will have, making it easier for you to bend it into a complete circle. The Taj Mahal on the other hand includes various organic shapes – arches, minarets and of course domes and I didn't know the first thing about building round shapes using LEGO.Ģ) Bending LEGO Walls to Create Round ShapesĪ “brute force” way of building round walls using LEGO is by building straight walls and then bending them to form a circle.
Things do get more interesting when you are building the top of a classical skyscraper (where it tapers up to a spire) but you are still dealing with geometric shapes for the most part (with a few notable exceptions like the crown of the Chrysler Building). A skyscraper like the Empire State Building is basically a stack of floors – you just have to build a few variants of the floor design and you can then repeat them as many times as you need to build the whole thing. I still had a lot to learn before I could attempt to do justice to this wonder of the world.Īs impressive as Sean Kenney’s model of the Empire State Building was, I did not have much trouble figuring out intuitively how it was built.
BRICK WALL 3D MODEL CRACK
I knew right away that I wanted to take a crack at doing my own version of the Taj Mahal but I just wasn't ready for it yet.
BRICK WALL 3D MODEL MOVIE
This amazing model had preceded the LEGO Creator Expert 10189 set and became the central prop in an Australian independent movie called “Taj” (the story revolves around a father who reconnects with his estranged daughter by building a LEGO model of the Taj Mahal with her). Not long after I discovered Sean Kenney’s model, I also happened upon the model of the Taj Mahal built by the late Arthur Gugick.
