Oooh, Architecture-y: A LEGO Fallingwater

Sure the actual LEGO company manufactures a Frank Lloyd Wright 'Fallingwater' set as part of its Architecture series, but it's a scant 811 pieces. PIECES FALLINGWATER NEEDS MORE PIECES. Thankfully, Matija Grguric took it upon upon himself to make a better version (high-res shot HERE).

Matija Grguric's minifig scale creation of Frank Lloyd Wright's Fallingwater portrays the beauty of the architecture amidst the backdrop of a snowy winter. The 45″ X 30″ creation took 7 months and uses about 15,000 bricks.

15,000 pieces -- now you're talking. You hear that, Big Bad Wolf? You can forget about bacon tonight! Just sayin', huff and puff all you want you're only gonna end up high and hungry.

Hit the jump for several more shots but you really need to check out Matija's Flickr gallery to see the high-res pics for full appreciation.

Thanks to Blaqk Panda, who's gonna make a full-scale LEGO model of Fallingwater and live in it. Skinny dipping parties! No? Party pooper. I'm gonna start peeing upstream.

    This wooden Vespa was made by woodmaster Carlos Alberto to show off his skills in the art of woodery. The entire exterior was constructed of laminated hardwood and, I've got to admit, it looks pretty damn amazing. But the question remains: is there a cooler form of transporta... / Continue →

    DeviantARTist Zoroko went and created this Zora Link costume for herself to wear to Ohayocon. It looks good. No -- great. No -- AMAZING. It almost makes me wish I knew how to sew. But it DOES make me wish I could have sex underwater without drowning (I never learned to swi... / Continue →
