Where are the fortresses made in Lego?!
« on: February 27, 2012, 04:47:41 pm »

I have been mucking around with Lego with the boy and couldn't help but think that there should be heaps of cross over appeal between DF fans and Lego fans - however - a quick google search reveals nothing. No one has attempted to model a fortress, illustrate a story, make a movie, or anything DF related with Lego! This must've rectified!

In describing DF to other people, I always use Lego as one of the associations. "The same freedom, that Lego allowed you as a kid, it's only boundary being your own imagination"

"Your search-fu is still young TinyPirate."

Other than comics, it's pretty obscure.

The question remains;

Who has a quantum stockpile full of legos?

I'd pay money to see a life-sized pump stack made purely of lego. And someone out there is obsessive enough to build it.

I build worlds with my Legos and my cats play the parts of megabeasts with the building destroyer flag set.  Does that count?   :)

There is only one cat, and all cats are that cat.

I only do this when I intend to go on to compare Minecraft to Duplo.

I used hirstarts bricks to get my head round pump stacks a while back - it helped.
It would look quite boring if completely built and glued though as all the fine detail would be lost to the viewer.
