Like his recent test pattern, Nelson Yrizarry has been taking a break from the minifig-scale creations he’s known for, to build LEGO on a more sculptural scale.
Daruma are Japanese dolls most often used to make a wish or keep oneself focused on a goal. You paint one eye when you make the wish or start something, and only paint the other eye when your wish has been granted or you’ve achieved your goal.
My wish is that Nelson will build more great stuff like this!
I would love some instructions to make my own. Even just an internal shot to extrapolate how it is held together since back-engineering it would be super fun.
Wow. Very detailed. Very…different. Cool.
I’d hate to take it apart, because it’s cute. :) Basically, it’s a sphere with 4 elongated sides, and it’s all held together by 24 of these. Once assembled, it’s pretty solid.
24 of those, eh? I have about 90 of the things, I am so building one of these.
