Han Solo in Lego Carbonite
metalion writes "Nathan Sawaya built a life size replica of Han Solo frozen in carbonite. It is composed of approximately 10,000 bricks and was built in approximately three months. Some sample photos are here and here. Sawaya's work also includes a mosaic of a stormtrooper and a small scale replica of the Death Star II."
I'm guessing he doesn't have a girlfriend.
I think this guy's work is awesome. But I can't help but be reminded of a quote from a movie I saw recently, Pirates of the Carribean:
Jack Sparrow: [looking at all the swords] Who makes all these?
Will Turner: I do! And I practice with them three hours a day!
Jack Sparrow: You need to find yourself a girl mate. Or perhaps the reason you practice three hours a day is that you already found one, and are otherwise incapable of wooing said strumpet. You're not a eunuch are you?
(thanks imdb)

:-D
I pity the poor webhost.
Article is: here.
Slashdottable large jpg files are: here and here.
There's another large file for you to sap the life out of this server: here.
I have to say, though, it does look rather good
I am a viral sig. Please copy me and help me spread. Thank you
That is easily the coolest waste of time I have ever seen
You are so boring that when I see you my feet go to sleep.
I find your lack of faith disturbing.
Apparently his server is made out of Lego too...
Reminds me of the good ol days back when I was frozen in carbonite...
I feel a great disturbance in the force ... almost as if a whole webserver cried out in agony as it was engulfed in flames.

We just need an article about a "Commemorative Mac Classic Lego Built Case Mod Landing On Mars" and the topics will have completely overlapped themselves.
put episodes 1 & 2 in frozen carbonite...boy they were horrid!
You liked them that much, huh? Well, there's no accounting for taste.
KFG
How do we know those are really legos... Maybe he pushed a giant one of these pin art things on some poor guy at Chuck E Cheese and then took a picture of his pain....
For anyone who doubted that any unpaid creative work or thinking is constantly belittled and laughed at, there you go.
Business isn't willing to pay for products, innovation and careers, so we get brands, mortgage commercials and layoffs.
Exactly... imagine getting a mondo box of Lincoln Logs and having several of them fused into prefab cabins and... er, other cabins.
My blog can kick your blog's ass
...as if a webserver cried out in terror, and was suddenly silenced.
I fear something terrible has happened.

Saturday night ... 1:32am ... ... I'll go back to looking at porn.
You guys go look at LEGOs
A *working* model of the Death Star. Now it doesn't have to be to scale, nor does it need to blow up an entire planet. I'll be sufficiently impressed if it's good enough to blow up a small city the size of, say, Redmond.

The ability to destroy a planet is insignificant, next to the power of the Lego.

Does it contain Harrison Ford?
Could it be modified to contain Harrison Ford?
And this is redundant, but it is slashdotted already.

Howdy Doodly Doo!

funny shit man
Damn them.
At the day care provider my parents stuck me in, there were, literally, thousands of lincoln logs. They had tubs of the things and I was the only kid who would touch them. While all the other kids had to share legos, I was build log mansions. It was great. I had one structure about 6 feet high (stood on a chair to place the top parts). The bitch who was in charge of us yelled at me because of my hoarding. I hope she's fat and bald now.
It says he spends about $7,000 a year on LEGO bricks. From the articles, it sounds as if he gets most of them on eBay. $7,000 of used eBay LEGO bricks is a LOT of bricks.

Duh! It's simple. We don't like Star Wars at all, we just want light sabers. Face it, while it isn't god's gift to cinema, jedi are god's gift to science fiction. Every nerds wet dream.

-------- In Soviet Russia, "Soviet Russia" sigs hate Slashdot.
It's like the Soviet Russian guy I guess. Not as funny though.
In Soviet Russia, Han Solo whacks you!
A programmer is a machine for converting coffee into code.
Your bold statement got me thinking. What if the Death Star II from Return of the Jedi was actually the Death Star III. And the one from A New Hope was really Death Star II. That would allow for there to be an original Death Star prototype in Episode III that was not fully armed perhaps.
