Inspired by Steve DeCraemer’s
S.P.U.
(picture by Rob Hendrix) first shown at Brickfest 2003, I decided to build a
bigger version.
Six BrickLink orders, over 4000 pieces, 180 triangles - and this is what I came
up with.
Gallery (after
moderation) There are only three pictures (plus a “readme”), so you can see
most of it in the previews!
Two preview pics:
the whole ‘sphere’
a close-up
Yea, I know - it’s silly. But, I’m pretty happy with it!
Hope you like it!
