So, peoples of the world, as part of this 365 Days of Lego project I'm doing -HERE The main aim is to build to educate the 3yo child I'm raising. (my Nephew) - but my own personal challenge is I'm aiming to try to build "the impossible" - I often ask people on my twitter for ideas and get many standard ones, and many ones that would not only be feasible but most easy to accomplish. But every now and then I'm given a suggestion- or come up with that that makes me think "Nah, that would be impossible!" So then I set out to achieve it.
"Easy Ideas" can be eye-popping and amazing builds, but for the builders, it's all about solving that puzzle!
Whether it's something small like a Rocking Chair, something anthropomorphic like a Cyclops, I'm attracted to ideas that seem unable to be accomplished as I want to show my child that anything IS possible. The Audrey Two plant was one idea I thought would be impossible, same with our Lion King Musical MOC (see below).
I see a lot of MOCs that, through design and execution, make me go "WOAH!" But seldom do I see an IDEA that gives me that reaction. That's not to take away from what people make, because there is some truly amazing artists out there and I fail majorly by comparison, but despite being bad at it, I still give it a crack. That's not to suggest that people aren't building "Impossible Ideas" but that's what brings me here:
2 Questions-
What have been your favourite "Impossible Ideas" - whether you made them or not - link to them if you're able to as I'd love to see them! - Ideas that on paper seem like they could never be made out of Lego but when executed they've taken your breath away?
Also- what "Impossible Ideas" would you suggest we try to build for our 365 Challenge? We've built a wide variety of things so far and have many ideas already, but need more to fill out the year so anything you'd love to challenge us to build, would love to hear it!
