My Build: The Face

'The Face' was something that was a first for me to do, a unplanned build and with no real design what so ever. The build was originally inspired by Nathan Sawaya's amazing Lego artwork, such as many of his builds at 'The Art Of The Brick'. 

Very much unlike this model, Sawaya's artwork is planned, only builds with simplest parts, such as 2x4 or 2x2 bricks and also uses a uniform colour. Now this model was built up of anything I had to hand which seemed to make the build structurally sound. 

As you can see the model is made up multiple amount of colours from Lego's palette. What might not be obvious is that I used a lot of different types of bricks to create the model, these included, corner, technic and slopped bricks, etc. 

The whole thing is hollow but to keep some of the structure together there are some technic beams to hold a lot of it all up.

I don't know about you but I think as a first try at sculpting with Lego, that bad. I might later on build another out of one colour, like Sawaya. You never know it might even look 10x better than this one.

My Build: Evolution of Man

My Lego build:
Evolution of Man
Okay a lot of you are probably going to say this is the most simplest build ever to be made ever and I should have made something with a bit more of a challenge. I totally agree with you. However, I was looking around and there hasn't been a proper build in Lego for the iconic picture 'Evolution of Man' and I thought there should be one.

There have been many which are similar like xstc's 'Lego Evolution', which is very similar to the common prints that you can find on t-shirts and other products. Now there is one by a unknown artist, which depicts the very comical version of the 'Evolution of Man'. However I wanted mine to be serious and as accurate as possible.

The Lego and BrickForge parts.
There was one which was very similar to the original image. This is was by Stephen O' Mahony on one of his blog post called 'Time'. This had to be the best one I found so far but it could be more accurate. 

So I made my own with a black 4x10 plate, three 4x3 minifig base plate, one 1x2 handle plate, three minifigs and one monkey. The minifigs were from the Lego's minifig series; the Gorilla is from series 3, the Caveman from series 1 and the Computer Programmer from series 7. However, the spear of the Caveman is not Lego but BrickForge's flint tribal spear.
