Your looking at a Lego version of NYC.... wtf? some ones got way too much time and money on their hands!

[Crossover523]

Wow. That's pretty cool. You could go to there and go King Kong on NYC!

[Tim]

Haha, isn't that what this whole forum (General Chat) is for? :P

Looks cool, though, different :P If you go to the Toys r Us in New York they have huge lego things like that :P Woo!

God I love legos! This is probably the most impressive lego creation I have seen. Has anyone seen the VW car made out of legos?

[Case]

i use to love legos theres a lego cad program that has every kind of lego ever made so you can build your own little creations

[jacubilloro]

I think it's called LDraw. There are also many tools to give shades to your creations and even to animate them. But nothing beats the real blocks.

this is true ebayhas tons of lego colections

[jacubilloro]

I have a Lego mindstorms set and it has been one of the best purchases I've done in my entire life. This is what got me interested in electroncis as well.

[Case]

mindstorms is awsome i gotta go dig out my leggos now.

[jacubilloro]

And now that the new mindstorms is out I have to start saving some money to get them

[Case]

i think ill pass on that one

Now here is some thing real cool a USB Low-Light Night Vision PC Camera (http://www.geeks.com/details.asp?invtid=CP30H1&sourceid=qIrAROtZUEm-AlnvzH3V&cm_ven=CJ&cm_pla=0039448524&cm_ite=CP30H1) and its only 14 bucks i might nab one and get one of thoes POE USB extenders just think of the potential :)


If you guys get it and do any err umm "Sexy Spying" i demand to see the pics !

[jacubilloro]

Pervert! :D
Actually, I would love to have a couple those as a security camera for my house.

[Case]

ur just a closet perv dont lie :)

[jacubilloro]

That was only once! No just kidding :)

[Case]

Well i think that camera could make a nice network IP camera project specialy if its needed in lowlight situation. You could probably buy an ice IR LED array cheap and use it for more ilumination.

Sorry about the big pic, it's the only one I could find. All of those buildings are made out of toothpicks. Pretty nifty, in my ever humble opinion.

[Case]

thats perfect size and wtf toothpics... ok wow thats like some serious time dam.. look at the cable bridge....... geez

[DogHumpsMonkey]

That picture only covers about a third of the display. It's much larger. There are a great many toothpicks involved...

[Case]

well posit i wana se the whole thing

[Al]

That's the first model I've seen with tooth picks instead of match sticks. I wonder what motivates somebody to complete projects like these.

[Case]

Theres actualy a a model ive seen built entirly out of coins pennies quarters ect just glued together i gotta see if i can find pics

[DogHumpsMonkey]
