3.6.44: Clever
Jan. 31st, 2022 07:53 pmI'm just gonna jump right in for this post; no intro I could write would do justice to how clever and interesting this entire stage was.
Here's the mise-en-place.
I'm not going to comment much for this stage; I think it speaks for itself and I want you to have the experience I did of slowly figuring out what this was. I started by putting two hinged pieces on a 2x3 plate (plus two small tiles to cover the end), and then continued slowly expanding that as seen below.
Have you figured out what I built?
Once it was fastened into place at that attachment point, the arms were still swinging loose, obviously, but the little clips I added lined up with these corresponding clips on each side of the main build.
I then added that long thin rod, as the rail on top of that wall I'd just built.
And I added the missing railings to the inner edge of this section of deck, and the British flag at the stern.
Next I built and placed six cranes.
And then I closed out this antepenultimate stage by joining sections five and six.
That's it for this stage! We're very close to the end now. Thanks as always for reading!
Discussion prompt: How else could the designers have achieved this effect, given the limitations of Lego? Can you think of a better way? (I can't!)
