Impossibly Large Creation
/We talk about scale a lot here at BrickNerd, it’s one of the hallmarks of LEGO creations. Occasionally something comes along that gives me pause in my scrolling through Flickr. It’s usually something that makes you go “wait, that’s LEGO?”. Well that’s precisely my reaction to this creation by builder Uomosenzanome, I’m still trying to wrap my head around it. I’ve stared and stared at the screen, but I can’t see a single visual clue as to the scale of this, no comparable reference, no cracks, not tell-tale part use, no clever SNOT construction, nothing.
Monet painted his garden many times, exploring changes in color and time of day. Meredith Najewicz follows his lead, rebuilding the LEGO Art Water Lilies set with a darker palette and some creative part substitutions to cast the lilies in a different light.
