(...) Hi all, This is (or at least was, in 2004) called Brick Builder. I asked about it in the CAD newsgroup here: (URL) But I got no replies.. There's a presentation board showing how the software works on display at the Model Shop in LLCA. I have (...) (19 years ago, 2-Sep-05, to lugnet.build.sculpture)

(...) The Lego software does in fact only give the outline on a lego grid rather than where each brick goes. It works pretty good most of the time. When building large scale models, it is a bit of a different way of building than the Staue of (...) (19 years ago, 2-Sep-05, to lugnet.build.sculpture, FTX)

It depends on what the sculpture is going to be used for. If it will be on display where random people will touch it you'll probably want to have a metal skeleton within.

Let's say, for the sake of argument, that I wanted to come up with actual step-by-step plans for creating a life-sized Lego statue of some well-known caped superhero, let's say, Superman.

Ondrew, I was somehow deeply moved when I first viewed your sculpture this afternoon. As Mark said, I immediately thought of the 9/11 tribute, specifically in my case it brought to mind some of the renderings of proposed WTC replacements. Your (...)
