Posted by michael on from the running-out-of-grey-bricks dept.

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."

    Just when Opportunity is on Mars....very good news service here...jackass

    Maybe its related. Maybe Opportunity will find Carbonite on Mars. Is there such a thing? Anyhow, good job, NASA!

    Well, that is all we do know, that it landed. It will be sometime before we know if it is ok. And a /. discussion about the landing would be rather boring with nothing to talk about.

    We just landed on Mars again and Slashdot is discussing Legos?

    Actually, the "no fault" tone was sent shortly after landing indicating that the post landing checkouts were successful and the vehicle was in proper working order.

  6. Didn't anyone ever have an Erector Set? by xagon7 · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I was born in 77, so I got the plastic/aluminum Erector set, but I STILL loved that more than any Legos/Roboticx/Capsella set of the time. Does anyone else share this sentiment? Erector was just cool as hell, you were playing with nuts and bolts and metal. I loved it. Built many a robots (well... what I thought were robots ;) )
