I had to make a mock-up for my University project this weekend for Tuesday...
I was a little worried about this as - unlike most of my classmates - I am working during the day and unable to use the Uni workshop to get the modelling foam and things needed.
So i resorted to LEGO.
Yes, I used the abundant supply that was stored up in the roof of mum and dad's house - developed over 30+ years - it came in handy! It was also lucky that I was a nerd several years ago and sorted most of it into vague types (ie: technic, basic and space!)
So i created the model below. I'm rather happy with it - it has its limitations being lego, but it allows me to check out movement and form to a point.
oh - the idea of the uni project (sorta secret so i'll give you the gist):
A creature that can get from one wall to another - cleaning.
Right way up - and the underside of it showing the "cleaning tools"
Using its hinged legs to get over objects - and the lego supply!

Good one - clearly haven't lost your touch. Sometimes being a nerd at some stage is OK!
Dad
That's wild! I love it. I'd buy one if it looked like that! All your misspent youth..... "Simon get ready for school!" "Yeah Mum, I'm just finishing this lego thing..." was worthwhile.
Mum
Is it like one of those vacuum cleaners then that hit a wall and turn around? It looks really cool!
I don't think having that amount of lego and spending time using it put you in the "nerd" category, it was the fact that at one point you felt that the most exciting and worthwhile thing for you to do was to sort bucket loads of lego into different boxes!
But hey, you're way smarterer and talenteder than me, so go nerds!
What do u mean were a nerd!?!?!?!?!
Only joking coz
Keep on blogging
