Time, there's never enough of it. Seems like I'm continually racing the clock, every day. It could also be said I'm a little nuts, or cuckoo. So this MOC by BrickBuilder7622 speaks to me, or at least reminds me that I really need to get this blog post done and get in the shower because it's almost time to head back to BrickCon!
I'm having flashbacks to being a kid, and the agonizing wait until Christmas. Where time itself can be empirically observed to slow down, despite overwhelming scientific evidence to the contrary. I am of course talking about the four day wait I have until Star Wars comes out. Perhaps if I had this wonderful clock by Legonardo Davidy the hands wouldn't mock me to the same level.
what do you do when your plastic cuckoo clock breaks? Build a new, better one out of LEGO of course! That's exactly what builder Miro78 has done and as you can see the results are brilliant. There's no little birdie, and the weights are just for show, but it's still a functioning clock, and a fine looking one I might add.
Things have been a bit quiet on the Iron Builder front, and now I know why. This extremely elaborate and realistic cuckoo clock proved to be a challenge for the brothers Falworth. But it was all worth the effort, because this is thing of beauty.
