Great White Nautilus

clever idea for the shell

Agreed.

You beautiful SOB, you; I'm in tears.

The half spheres are connected using coins, as seen here.

This is a great technique and looks wonderful. I think I first saw this structure from the Arvo brothers ( www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=3262 695 ) but I don't know what technique the used.

Awesome technique, I'll remember that one. I've been trying to make a nautilus forever (but a submersible in the shape of one.... remember my 'steam squid?') but this is just beautiful.

michales says:

can you comment on the model stability? This is awesome!
Posted 5 months ago. ( permalink )

Legohaulic says:

It's not incredibly stable. The coin technique is quite stable. However, the angle at which some need to be connected makes it a bit unstable.

You have just blown my mind with both this model and this technique! Great job!

Tyler, did you have any idea that this pic would get such a response?

Just mind-blowing...
Posted 4 months ago. ( permalink )

Legohaulic says:

^ I had no idea. I got slightly more views than this on my minifig scale BTTF Delorean. I've also gotten loads of views of my Gears of War and Halo stuff but that just because they're recognizable "icons" if you will. This is just a simple sea creature. I was shocked when I saw a giant spike in my stats.

DaJass says:

This one is quite disturbing - in a good way - if you see the thumbnail first and think of a living creature then to realize it's not even a seashell. Maybe that's the reason of the spike.
