 | | 2x4 Brick model?
|
| 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 (...) (21 years ago, 8-Jun-04, to lugnet.general)

| (...) Wow, neat, thanks to everyone for the links. I never thought to check Brickshelf, DOH. I like your smaller brick - am I correct in assuming each stud is detachable? That would actually help me out.. Are any of the parts particularly (...) (21 years ago, 9-Jun-04, to lugnet.general)

| (...) I doubt this is anywhere near what you need for this project, but since everyone else is showing off their jumbo bricks, I figured I should toss up a pic of mine. The thing is...I didn't build it. And it's got a removable drawer inside, so the (...) (21 years ago, 9-Jun-04, to lugnet.general, FTX)

| (...) 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 (...) (21 years ago, 9-Jun-04, to lugnet.general)

| (...) Well thank you very much Darrell. As for the parts for the 7 inch (well 7 and half actually, but who is counting?) brick they are all pretty easy to come by, at least in that colour (red). The big brick is 7 layers of bricks high. The block (...) (21 years ago, 9-Jun-04, to lugnet.general)

| (...) In the meantime here's some pics that show the edges of the brick fairly well. I tried to build mine without using plates to keep the cost down. The tubes under a 2x4 are the hardest part, but they actually support the "deck" with the studs. (...) (21 years ago, 9-Jun-04, to lugnet.general)
