How to Create an Awesome LEGO Brick Model
Do you want to make a cool looking model? Here are some helpful ideas for improving your LEGO® models and keeping them colour coordinated and cool to look at.
[edit] Steps
- Work out what you're trying to build. Will it be a house, car, building, monster, or airplane? Choose anything you like as long as you have enough bricks.
- Colour code your model. Choose one main colour for the model and stick with it. You might be unhappy with the way the model looks if you choose colours that don't match or look good together. Pick a second colour that lets you add details or be substituted for the main colour.
- Keep the pieces held together tightly so that it'll survive if it falls down off a table or somewhere.
- Finish the model. Make sure it's what you wanted to build and make sure that you like it. If you don't like it, bust it up and start from scratch again, this time building something better!
- Colour additions differently. To make additions after a finished model, use a second colour.
[edit] Tips
- Colour code the model.
- Keep the model strong.
- Keep a quarter of the bricks the second colour, or less.
- While it may take some time at first, sorting your LEGO bricks into separate bins by colour or by colour group can make it much easier to create colour-coordinated models.
[edit] Warnings
- This is for creating models, not for creating small versions of things. Follow the colours of the object you are building to create small sculptures.
