Medieval Fantasy meets LEGO Again

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the to-much-spare-time dept.

An anonymous reader writes "At over two years in the making, The Kingdom of Ikros provides viewers with a 40-chapter novel, graphically illustrated entirely by LEGO models and Photoshop effects. Apparently the author isn't stopping there, either, a link off the main page takes you to another website which will host the sequel. The Kingdom of Ikros website also contains a pair of flash movies and pictures of the models used in the story, as well as biographies of the characters involved."

  2. Legos as history material? by StriderA · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I wonder if anybody ever considered using lego's in school. Back as a child, I remember having time to play with various toys in school, but how about recreating battles or something to try and teach children. They remember the names and tatics used in children TV Shows, but nobody ever takes the time to teach real history. Your kids will come home and set up their legos and gi joes and you'll ask them what they're playing and they'll start telling you how their playing Cival War or something...

    Either way, it couldn't hurt... to them it'll still be a game.
