Rapture Rises in Lego - UPDATED

[Kungfu_Teddybear]

Would you kindly pick my jaw up off the floor.

That looks incredible.

Now put it in water and it will be complete!

I was actually thinking exactly this. Lego is plastic so submersion shouldn't be a problem; finding a tank big enough to accommodate it might be a bit of an expensive proposition (I have no idea how much) but with that one-time expenditure plus an aeration system to keep the water moving (and provide some awesome bubble streams) I could really see this thing moving into serious "holy shit" territory.

 

[MercurySteam]

Well that's incredible. That should be put on display somewhere

Yes, but now what? I could never understand why someone would spend hours doing this with Lego. I mean, if it isn't going to be a main feature at Legoland, what's the point?

Will he be paid for doing this? Except for people saying: "Flipping sweet man!" What other points or reward does he receive for his time and money spent? And don't say a sense of accomplishment.

Hobby: an activity or interest pursued for pleasure or relaxation and not as a main occupation.

i used to make mega structures all the time with lego when i was younger, it was a completely different world all to myself.. i gave my lego away to my niece and nephew ( a task of several boot loads of lego.. )

i wished id had enough cash when i was younger to buy all the special blocks needed to build something of that scale and detail though, my parents bought me the standard blocks, and a few kits when i was older i bought the electronics and pneumatics ones because the were awesome
but i never had enough special bits to build something like rapture even though i had an absolute ton of the stuff
our family started a tradition, every Christmas you have to give a lego kit! at-least my nephew will have so much lego he wont know what to do with it all by the time he's old enough to build something like that

if i were younger i'd be really jealous, but meh great work!

Lego constructions impress me far more than the somewhat similar MineCraft developments.

A man chooses what to build, a slave obeys the instruction booklet.

Haha, nice one.

Hobby my friend, hobby, if he/she enjoys to built, and we enjoy to watch, there will be more to come, this is a form of "art" don't you know... and this one, SHOULD be on display in lego land!

It would ruin his posters though, since they look like good old fashion print-cut-paste variety.

Damn it I wanted a Lego:Bioshock. That would have been even more shit-my-pants awesome.

Snip

Perhaps the term 'hobby' is of some meaning to you? Maybe to him it's fun and I don't see why we shouldn't be able to say 'a sense of accomplishment.' When I do something awesome I feel good, nothing wrong with that. Of course, that's not the sole purpose I did that something.

The building faces could've been a bit darker, and art deco'esque. They weren't exactly white-washed in the actual game(s)......But that's nitpicking. Well Done!!

 

[Kimarous]

Is a man not entitled to the sweat of his brick? No, says the child in the playroom, it belongs on the floor. No, says the booklet in the box, it belongs to the design. No, says the...

Um, sorry. I couldn't think of anything to continue this.

I think that if we were to alter the lighting to be more theatric, actual color adjustment would not be necessary.

No, says the Lego Company, it belongs to Legoland.

 

[Flailing Escapist]

Dammit! I was mislead to believe that this was a thread about a Lego:Bioshock game!
....
Now that I've cooled I've go to say that's pretty impressive. Makes we want to bring the legos out again.

 

[Jory]

Also Andrew Ryan would come up with something more cunning than " dude+awesome "

I think you missed something.

Seems pretty neat, but I agree with someone above. Some shots with more atmospheric lighting would be much better I suspect.

He enjoyed he creative process? I mean, why do people enjoy drawing? Because you start out with nothing, and end up with something pretty you're proud of. No real reason other than 'it makes me feel warm inside'.

LMAO thats hilarious XD

And i would love to see this in a huge fish tank.

Lego's are awesome. Plain and simple, that's a certifiable fact.

In fact the only thing more awesome than Lego's is the creativity behind them. It's amazing what people can do, I once saw a Lego scene of the Coliseum Scene from Attack of the Clones (sorry to bring up that horrible movie)
