First Attempt At Serious Sculpture

Ever since I began putzing around with LEGO and became an avid AFOL, I have always admired the incredible work of brick artist, Nathan Sawaya.

I wondered if I could pull off building a reasonably realistic human face.

So, out came the boxes of standard red bricks and a ready made base plate assembly.

Here is the result:

The model only depicts the front half of the head, but it turned out reasonably well.

It was definitely adequate enough to fool my cel phone when I took this picture - the phone put up the human face focusing indicator!

This relief head is roughly 3/4 the dimensions of an average human head.

Just might have to play around with a little more of this kind of building....
