Lego and Linux (part 5)

After exchanging a few e-mails with the author, I have managed to build Slackware packages for LeoCAD, both 32 and 64-bits versions.
LeoCAD is a wonderful piece of software to create your own Lego constructions virtually on your computer - with an unlimited amount of pieces :-)
It can import and export LDR (LDraw) files, and export to POV-Ray for creating fantastic images (see my previous post about POV-Ray).
Here is a screenshot of LeoCAD running on my 64-bit desktop:


The packages can be downloaded from my site, where more screenshots can be seen as well.

Lego sculpture of Jesus

It's been a week since Easter, but here is a little article I found about a sculpture of Jesus, build in a church in Vasteras, Sweden. It was made using 30.000 pieces:


The article can be found here.

Lego Sculpture - You are the model!

I am a big fan of Lego. Unfortunately I haven't had much time lately to build anything, but I try to keep up-to-date with the latest news.
Yesterday I read that famous department store Neiman Marcus has a new item in it's Christmas Catalog: A life-size sculpture of you made from Lego.



Price-tag: $60,000.00 (does not include shipping). Care to order? Look here.

The artist responsible for sculpting is Nathan Sawaya. Check out his site for some incredible works!
