Although not 1:18th scale stuff I though you might appreciate an art exibit that I saw a few weeks ago.

that is some amazing stuff.

Speaking of bricks and art, a new study has found that kids today, young ones like Pre-k through 4th grade are unable to build with blocks due to their overuse of playing on touch pads and smart phones. their hand eye coordination and their imagination don't go together and simple tasks like stacking bricks or forming something is next to nothing.

I met Nathan many years ago, at Brickfest (Arlington, VA in 2003 thru 2006).

He does some incredible work, no doubt. In 2006, he had a few male sculptures (maybe his first ones) that included certain parts. It was a little creepy.

That's some really cool stuff right there!

Ya I wanted to spend more time looking at this stuff, but the kid was running around looking for more trains (They had a O gauge railroad set up at the same time.) So I took a picture of everything & enjoyed the exibit later.

It's amazing what people can do with a huge tub of LEGO. and in this guy's defense, a huge swimming pool worth.
