 | | Over-sized Easter Egg plans on Brickshelf

I can't believe anybody wanted to duplicate my insanity... But since some of you did, I posted the plans on Brickshelf. (URL) forewarned: the plan is a large JPEG. There is a half-sized version, but it doesn't show the gridlines. The rest of this (...) (25 years ago, 22-Apr-00, to lugnet.fun.holiday, lugnet.build)

That Big Egg is great! I love it! That must have took a lot of planning. When Easter's over, you could always build a lego facehugger from "A L I E N" for the top of it. But seriously, nice work! (...) (25 years ago, 20-Apr-00, to lugnet.fun.holiday, lugnet.general)

Probably...although I believe their eggs are generally of a rectangular fiberous form, with small flexible polymer sacs inside where the pieces begin their life.

(...) That's awesome! I really like it. You did a good job with the shape, too; getting a true egg form is difficult. So is that where Lego bricks come from? They're hatched? :) Chris (25 years ago, 19-Apr-00, to lugnet.fun.holiday, lugnet.general)

If anyone needs me for the next few days, you might want to check the local funny farm. My wife may have just checked me in. The reason is that I just spent way too much time building a way-too-large easter egg. It's 32 bricks long and wide and 36 (...) (25 years ago, 19-Apr-00, to lugnet.fun.holiday, lugnet.general) !

We had a good time. It was around this time that I fully (...) (25 years ago, 18-Apr-00, to lugnet.fun.holiday)

Easter Egg Hunt idea: Get a 12-pack or 48-pack of plastic colored Easter Eggs and fill them will LEGO pieces. Hide 'em around the house or in the yard. For filler, use a few polybag-sized or small boxed sets and divide up the pieces so that all the (...) (25 years ago, 17-Apr-00, to lugnet.fun.holiday, lugnet.general, lugnet.dear-lego)

For the record, I *did* skate on some of my housecleaning today to build some eggs of my own. (Thanks for the pattern!). While building, I couldn't help but notice the strong resemblance towards a football, so I made a football easter egg. I took a (...) (25 years ago, 13-Apr-00, to lugnet.fun.holiday)

Wow! A great idea, and a lot of imagination, I could never think of such an educational way to use the egg! Yet another reason for me to buy one of those, I've been looking at them for a long time. --Tobias (25 years ago, 12-Apr-00, to lugnet.fun.holiday)
