Many of us
had Lego blocks in our childhood, it was kind of a toy that absorbed the time,
but it also helped us to develop engineering skills and it also improved our
imagination. Today I would like to present you some of the creators that I have
recently found on YouTube and they create amazing buildings without any
instructions only with their own imagination and skills.
They had a
large number of blocks collected over the years, so they created something that
they can be proud of and boast about it online.
The first
movie I would like to show you is built by the Lego team - Bugatti Chiron on a
scale of 1 to 1. The number of blocks that has been used is over one million
Lego Technic bricks. The whole car is in 90% made of Lego. The tools for
building this Bugatti were made of Lego. The car weighs about 1.5 tons, is able
to move thanks to the small toy electric motors and its lights are fully
functional. Even the spoiler is electrically controlled. I recommend you to
watch the movie to the end:
Another piece
of hard work was made by Polish YouTuber. He made the Liebherr LR 11000 crane.
It was built mostly from Lego bricks and the rest of the part needed to create
this was printed in a 3D printer. The crane is able to spread its arm to a
height of 7.3 meters. It is also able to lift a chair in the living room without
a problem.
The last genius constructor
who created something amazing from Lego bricks is the creator Wolf Zipp (channel
on YouTube). He made the Bridge Girder SLJ 50018 machine. It is a brilliant
copy of a huge machine for building bridges. They operate fully controlled by
the pilot. It includes Lego electric motors and is able to build a bridge in
small scale. Even the official Lego channel (7 MLN SUBSCRIBERS) on YouTube was
amazed about the work done and asked the author to contact them:

Comments
My dream was to build Harry Potter castle but sets of Lego for this building are so expensive. Maybe I’ll buy it for my children and build it together :D
I once had a childhood LEGO, but it was used in most cases for other purposes. LEGO needs to spend a lot of time, unfortunately I don’t have it.
2: Do you think that everyone is able to build such structures that I showed you? What skills do you think you need to build such amazing toys?
Not everyone is able to build this, it needs to be a fan and definitely have at least some knowledge in engineering.I need all kinds of skills to build such things, especially patience, a lot of patience.
3: If you could build your dream thing with Lego bricks, what would it be?
Difficult question, I would like to build a lot of things, but most likely there would be a robot that drove me food from the refrigerator to the room :D
If you provide people with all the materials and diagrams,I think everyone is able to build such structures. First of all you need a lot of patience and time. Secondly you would need to sort all the details if they are not sorted yet. The last but not least you will need a place to build and store your “toy”.
I am afraid that there is no such thing that I would like to build with Lego, maybe because I am impatient or I don’t have a dream.
Not everyone, I think the most important skill is perseverance, most people cannot sit in one place and invent something, say 5-6 hours. I noticed this when I was a kid, because everyone went to play together or ride on a swing, and I liked to sit and fold the spacecraft for hours.
I recently saw the reconstruction of the wall, I really liked the idea. I will leave a link:

Yes! I had tons of Lego when I was a kid and it was my favorite way to spend time I guess. I do not have time now to build anything interesting, but I would not refuse to get creative and make something worth sharing.
2: Do you think that everyone is able to build such structures that I showed you? What skills do you think you need to build such amazing toys?
In my opinion everybody is able to build anything and I am not talking only about Lego. It is the matter how the person is introduced to the process, let me give you an example. When kids start to learn math, it is very often presented to them as a boring and hard to understand thing, that is why they get discouraged at the beginning. If we could show them how everything may be interesting and explain the real contribution of the thing, everyone would truly believe that anyone can grow up doing anything he or she dreams of.
3: If you could build your dream thing with Lego bricks, what would it be?
There is a plenty of thing which come to to my mind as I am speaking, but if I had to decide on one thing, it would be a huge tree house, full of space, mechanisms and technology to run this house remotely.
I don’t think that everyone can build such complex structures. It requires a lot of patience, time and planning.
It is hard for my to tell what is my dream thing to build. I would like build many things, but I would start probably with some world war 2 battleship, or star wars super star destroyer.
Yes, i think everyone had lego in childhood and of course i was interested in building "empires" with Lego. It was definitely the best thing about my childhood.
2: Do you think that everyone is able to build such structures that I showed you? What skills do you think you need to build such amazing toys?
Every person is unique and is able to show what he/she capable of. It is just a matter of time, getting experience and good vision. If you are interested in it, you will do it.
3: If you could build your dream thing with Lego bricks, what would it be?
It would be enormous town with a lot of different houses, building, cars and spaceships.
Unfortunately, not everyone, you must have incredible patience and, as I said before, great creativity, and not every person is so talented.
It would definitely be a vehicle that I could move on: D
I wasn't very good at it, I didn't build any special with that, but i wasn't going through scheme. I didn't read the manuals. I was just building what comes to my mind.
i think that you need spatial imagination to be good at Lego. Also creativity comes to handy.
If I could build something special from lego it would be some big robot.
But that would be time consuming, so i if would to choose something realistic and that i can really do it would be alkohol dispenser build from Lego.
Yes, of course. I had a classmate, who could make almost any weapon, that he saw(if he had enough bricks for it). He was an artist and make some prototype of weapon using Lego bricks wasn’t big problem for him. To make such structures as on video person should have skills of artist and skills in engineering.
I don’t think that I could build any my dream using Lego bricks.
Well, if given time I think that yes. What skills? You should probably know the basics of mechanics but, obviously, imagination is the most important skill you need.
Maybe a futuristic house, but I don't think that anyone will find it practical.
I don't think that everyone is able to build such huge constructions which you presented because it requires a lot of time, patience and sense of space. My dream thing to build is the solar system with rotating planets and other details, but I really can't imagine how can it be accomplished.
• I did have LEGO and LOVED playing with them. I probably would build something now, but It is very time consuming and would require too much of my time. Perhaps in the future.
2: Do you think that everyone is able to build such structures that I showed you? What skills do you think you need to build such amazing toys?
• I think that there is a factor of predispositions but overall acquiring a decent level of constructing requires practice and commitment.
3: If you could build your dream thing with Lego bricks, what would it be?
• Probably a bar ;D
In my childhood there were a lot of different designers, including LEGO. They used to be very fascinating to me. But now, unfortunately, I do not have time for them.
2: Do you think that everyone is able to build such structures that I showed you? What skills do you think you need to build such amazing toys?
Not everyone is capable of this. This is a kind of talent. And a person needs several qualities for this, such as developed thinking, fine motor skills of hands and patience.
3: If you could build your dream thing with Lego bricks, what would it be?
I do not know, maybe just a big house.
I don’t think that everyone can build complicated structures with LEGO, in my opinion it requires spatial thinking and of course a looot of patience and creativity. But everyone can try, probably it’ll help to develop this kind of traits.
I think there is only few people that can make something like shown in your article. this shows so much skill! I think I wouldnt be able to make something like this or I would have to spend really long time making it and changing all the time. The most important I think is patience when it comes to lego.
I would love to make a big human with a sword that comes from my most played game called World of Warcraft.
Building things that you’ve shown is definitely not easy and I think that not everyone will manage to do it. It requires quite a lot of knowledge to make something like this work but in my opinion everyone should try Lego at least once in his/her life and build anything, because it’s amazing and I don’t know a person that doesn’t like it.
Hmm, choosing a dream thing to build with lego is kind of a hard thing. If I had to choose one thing it would probably be a model of a plane. It doesn’t have to be Airbus A380, but business jet like Gulfstream G550 will be enough. And it won’t have to fly as well - I’m not that crazy ;)
Yes I did. Moreover currently I have over 100 lego sets. My favorite set is
Lego metroliner train from 1991. Thats over 28 years! Its still working like a charm. That's pitty that lego stopped production of 9v metalized train, and switched to RC trains and so plastic rails
2: Do you think that everyone is able to build such structures that I showed you?
What skills do you think you need to build such amazing toys?
While dealing with such big structures you have to think about the weight of each brick, and total weight.
Sometimes some engineer skills are necessary
3: If you could build your dream thing with Lego bricks, what would it be?
I was always a big fan of military and so on. It would be collection of military vehicles.
Probably not all people can do this because we need have 3D perception and a lot of legos for this (lego is very expensive) and some physic knowledge.
Egh I don’t know probably I would like to build something what I was created in 3D software.
I definitely think that not everyone can and should build amazingly big structures with LEGO. It certainly isn’t for inpatient and unorganized people, as such massive undertaking requires a lot of planning, cold blood and carefulness.
If I were to build something with LEGO, I would definitely use LEGO Technic to come up with some interactive parts. However, I don’t have any concrete idea.
P.S. LEGO is spelt in all-caps. You had one job. ;)
My dream of lego bricks is ... of course build my own big castle just from Lego. A castle where I can move and everything will work like in a real castle.
Yes and I loved it. I had a lot of sets from a different series ( castles/ star wars/ harry potter) and i really liked to mixed them. I still want to buy some big lego set, and build it from scratch, but I have a problem to explain myself such expense, when I'm almost 24 years old.
2: Do you think that everyone is able to build such structures that I showed you? What skills do you think you need to build such amazing toys?
I think that You have to be really determined and stubborn, to work on such projects. I think that not everyone is able to make such structures - at some point they require some technical knowledge.
3: If you could build your dream thing with Lego bricks, what would it be?
I think that it would be a huge castle. Since I was a child I dreamed about such bricks, and I still want to do it one day
Of course I did! Lego bricks are the best toys ever. In my opinion this kind of toys develop creativity and have a positive impact on children. Also they are great toys for older ones ;) I'm not a kid anymore and I would take pleasue in building some constructions from lego especially lego technic.
2: Do you think that everyone is able to build such structures that I showed you? What skills do you think you need to build such amazing toys?
In my opinion a small group of people would be able to finish structures like this. Even with a complete guide it would take so long that many people will be discouraged.
3: If you could build your dream thing with Lego bricks, what would it be?
Propably a car made from lego technic. This type of lego is more complicated but it gives much more precise outcome.
2. With enough determination and planning anybody could do it. It requires some dedication to build something so amazing.
3. It's hard to decide. A house would be just a pain - imagine stepping at Lego all day long. A garden would be nice.
Ohhh yes :D Had a lot of Lego in my childhood and also Bionicle (which actually were Lego brand). I loved it so much, time consuming and creative :) Now I have different hobbies but I'd like to build many things with my unborn child. For sure I will buy some LEGO for my child and introduce him another level of creativity.
2: Do you think that everyone is able to build such structures that I showed you? What skills do you think you need to build such amazing toys?
Nope, for Lego the most important aspect is your patience. I think that you need to have minimal manual skills but a lot of spatial thinking to build impressive structures.
3: If you could build your dream thing with Lego bricks, what would it be?
If I could build anything I'd build EVA 01 from Evangelion series at 1:1 scale :D Check this awesome "mech" on google.
Do you think that everyone is able to build such structures that I showed you? What skills do you think you need to build such amazing toys? I think that the most important is patience because you have to spend a lot of time on that and wait for effects. Additionally, you have to be creative because if you are making only part of whole toy then you have to think about final structure. Yes, these are the most important skills.
Hmmm, I would like to build a big home for me!
2. I think that everyone would be able to build such structures but it doesn't mean that it is easy! You need a bit technical mind to build such structures.
3. I think that I would build a manufacture of Lego's cars. :)
Everyone grows out of toys and compatibility with other toys, cars for example. For sure, with your children, you'll like Lego again. I have never made any Lego ships, I would put together one that floats, maybe someday I will find such a model.
- I had a Lego when I was younger. I really liked the idea that I could create anything that I imagine with it.
2: Do you think that everyone is able to build such structures that I showed you? What skills do you think you need to build such amazing toys?
- I think that everyone can do such a thing, you just need to use your imagination and plan the whole thing before you start.
3: If you could build your dream thing with Lego bricks, what would it be?
- I would like to build a gaming chair.
I love tanks and in combination with lego, something wonderful could come out. Just like the battleship, it certainly would look good, I saw the entire aircraft carrier on a large scale made by the guest, here you have a link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oSVH-5w6wtI
Of course I did and I remember it was one of my favourite toys. At first, when I was very young I was playing with LEGO DUPLO as the pieces where bigger and it was easier to build something. When I got older I switched to regular LEGO and I was trying to build more and more detailed construtions. Now, my younger brother is still playing with them.
2: Do you think that everyone is able to build such structures that I showed you? What skills do you think you need to build such amazing toys?
I think I would need a lot of time, LEGO pieces and patience but I think I would manage ;)
3: If you could build your dream thing with Lego bricks, what would it be?
I don't have my dream thing but in my opinion building Sagrada Familia from LEGO would be very hard and satisfying as there are a lot of details.
To build such an amazing structures u need 4 things, lots of room, lots of time, couple friends and loooots of lego bricks :)
I always wanted to build fully featured lego castle never had enough space, money and mini figurines to do so:)
I had tons of Lego and I did enjoy it! Even right now I enjoy it when I have possibility to play with it.
2: Do you think that everyone is able to build such structures that I showed you? What skills do you think you need to build such amazing toys?
I think that it requires some skills, because you have to visualize it in your mind. There might be a problem with a scale of that structures, you could easily make it wrong.
3: If you could build your dream thing with Lego bricks, what would it be?
I would build the whole city from lego :) for example Warsaw
Build such a big structures as the one you presented are extremely hard and only well qualified team could be able to build such things. You need to have a lot of skill and experience to know how to connect those elements to make them work together. They need a lot of knowledge, not about Lego, but about real structures that they are gonna do. For example, when they built Bugatti, they had to know how real Bugatti looks “inside”.
I always loved building castles and buildings. Maybe now I would like to build any famous building like Burj Kalifa? I think this could be great.
Of course, I had a lego. I tried to build everything according to the instructions, but I didn't always succeed. That's why I just took a lego and built something.
2: Do you think that everyone is able to build such structures that I showed you? What skills do you think you need to build such amazing toys?
As for me, I think that a lot of things could be built from Lego. I was certainly surprised by the video where they built Bugatti Chiron. It seems to me that the main thing is creativity in building something and an idea of what you want to build.
3: If you could build your dream thing with Lego bricks, what would it be?
If I chose what to build, then most likely it would be some kind of human-sized robot. It should look cool.
I loved Lego very much in my childhood. To my great regret, I always bought dolls, so I had to take Lego from my brother. I think now I would happily add something complicated from Lego.
2: Do you think that everyone is able to build such structures that I showed you? What skills do you think you need to build such amazing toys?
I think not everyone will be able to create such projects from Lego as in the pictures. For this, you need to develop spatial thinking, imagination, and perhaps engineering skills.
3: If you could build your dream thing with Lego bricks, what would it be?
I would really like to build a giant Hogwarts. With all the incredible rooms and creatures that you can see in it.
I had Lego in my childhood like many children. I like that you can build a specific thing by following the instructions but you can also build something completely different like mentioned Bugatti
2: Do you think that everyone is able to build such structures that I showed you? What skills do you think you need to build such amazing toys?
If someone has an idea how to build such thing or has step-by-step instructions why not. Of course, you need a lot of time and patience
3: If you could build your dream thing with Lego bricks, what would it be?
To be honest I haven't such thing, but if I have to choose something it can be a drone.
I think that everybody is able to build such structures. I think that to build such amazing toys you will need imagination the most.
Probably I would build a real castle from Lego bricks.
Yes, I had a Lego in my childhood. It was one of my favorite activities during my childhood. Because of Lego, I started interesting in cars. Now I have other ‘hobbies’, a real-life Lego stuff :)
2: Do you think that everyone is able to build such structures that I showed you? What skills do you think you need to build such amazing toys?
I am a big fan of cars. So I have seen a video about building a Bugatti yet. And I was really impressed that Bugatti made of Lego can move by itself using the small electric motors.
3: If you could build your dream thing with Lego bricks, what would it be?
As I already mentioned I am a fan of cars, so if I could build my dream thing it will probably be a car, for example, Lamborghini Aventador SVJ.
I had a lot of sets when I was little. At present, I would also gladly put together Lego but it does not have much time for it.
2: Do you think that everyone is able to build such structures? What skills do you need to build such amazing toys?
Certainly not everyone, I, for example, only follow the instructions.
3: If you could build your dream thing with Lego bricks, what would it be?
My favorite sets were always those from star wars. Although this universe is not my favorite. I loved lego people, making big armies with cruisers, etc. If I had to build something from the lego dreams, it would probably be a reconstruction of the Star Wars battle scenes.
Not everyone is able to build such toys because, first of all, it is not cheap. Considering the amount of Lego you need for the structure of that size, all the details to make it drivable and other things, it is far from being affordable entertainment for the average human. Secondly, for creating toy of this size it’s not enough just to have it in your head, instead you have to be able to draw everything on the paper, make different types of calculations to make everything work.
I don’t really think that you can find a single person who really dreams about something made of Lego, but if I had to build something for myself right now, I would build a table. The reason for that is simple: I don’t currently have a table in my room, and I’m too lazy and busy to go and get one.
I had a lot of legos. This was my favourite toy in my childhood. I wish every present for Christmas or birthday to be legos.
2: Do you think that everyone is able to build such structures that I showed you? What skills do you think you need to build such amazing toys?
I think that not everyone can make such a things. You have to have very developed spatial imagination.
3: If you could build your dream thing with Lego bricks, what would it be?
I always wanted do build a real scale car when i was a kid. But I think that i would need a milions of lego bricks to do so.
