Okay, not really (my wife would kill me if that were true), but Casper‘s brother created this stunning bronze sculpture to celebrate the minifig’s 30th birthday.
Casper described the process in a comment on MOCpages:
The technique is that you start out with styrofoam and dig a hole with a very hot thingy. Then you place a Minifig in the midle and place the whole thing in castig and make a molding form(?). Then you burn this in a very hot oven as to make everything plastic and organic to burn away. Then you pour bronze into the mold and wupti – this is what you get.
Contrary to some of the horrified responses, I think this is a beautiful piece of LEGO-inspired art.
I agree, that really is gorgeous on both technical and sentimental points.
Wow! That is very cool!
hahahahahaha! Crazy funny. I love the way he describes making it: “wupti” FTW! There’s so much humour to be found in this post (if you’re looking for it). Hilarious.
… and creepy.
Sometimes there has to be a few sacrifices for art. ;)
