I can`t see the join myself but I know it much be there :) Pretty cool though.

In case you are wondering where you have seen this before here's the original



By the wonderful M.C.  Escher

I`m off to spend far too much time looking at the pictures on that site :)

You think that's cool?  Some guy built a lego segway in one night! :D  Worked the first time too. (He was on TSS the other night showing em off.)

No, a segway is just a fancy electric scooter.

Wow, nice work CP5670!

To see the secret of the Escher model: take a careful look at the top left corner, on the inside of the square.  You'll see that the studs suddenly go from large to small, and that's where the join is. :)

Where did you get all those lego guys? I mean, I have more than that, and you probably do too, but where did you find all the same ones?

Cool castle, and the weird little stair trick is awesome. :yes:

By buying lots of the same sets over and over. ;)

But that's not his creation.  Look at the URL of the picture. :)

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

It's not just the LEGOs - it's also the clever positioning of the camera as you capture a 2D representation of the 3D sculpture.  Take a close look at the upper left corner of the stairway. :)
