Hi,
Does anyone have instructions for an enlarged 2x4 brick made of lego? I'd really
like one about a foot long, but I guess I'd take any size.
Oh, and it would really help if you had a parts list too.. That way I could just
purchase exactly what I needed. :)
I'd like to use this model to demonstrate some 3D ideas for my class, so the
bigger it is, the better (within reason). I tried a search but.. ever search
LUGNET for "Brick" or "2x4"?
If I can't find anything I'll probably make it out of a cardboard box or
foamcore, but it'd be much more fun if it was made of ABS. If someone's already
worked this out it would save me a lot of time. Was there ever a kit for a model
like this made by LEGO?
Thanks,
Darrell

| (...) Since a 2x4 is about 1.25 inches long I guess you'd be looking at a scale of about 1:9.6. So it would probably be just as easy to build it to 9 times original size, or 10 times. I have built a few 'jumbo' bricks like this and they are fairly (...) (20 years ago, 9-Jun-04, to lugnet.general)
