LEGO Building Tutorial

Generally, Lego bricks have 90-degree angles around them, but the finished products are not limited to squares. By connecting enough bricks with 90-degree angles tightly together, you can build objects with both spherical and curved shapes. As long as you have enough bricks, you can build almost anything.

There is no right or wrong way to build Lego bricks, so different people’s building methods can vary greatly. different. But usually the first step should be research and planning. Here's how LEGO professional and former building expert Nathan Sawaya explains how to design a project: Every project is different, so I'll cover different methods for each scenario. The first step is to do your research and get the reference materials you need. For example, when building a replica of the Brooklyn Bridge, you need to collect hundreds of photos of the bridge from all angles. You can also make some sketches, but many creations actually consist of a basic building process. You can start by building part of the sculpture, then take it apart, build it again, and repeat the process until you get the desired shape. [3][4][5]

First, you need to determine exactly what proportions the project will use. This will determine everything in the building process: from how many bricks are needed to how long it will approximately take to complete the project. It is possible to create a pocket model, which can be of any object and be small enough to fit in your pocket. At the other extreme are sculptural proportions, which can be life-size or smaller, but are generally monumental. The third is the proportion of the minifigures. Design the size of the work according to the size of the minifigures that need to be used. You can also choose to build a two-dimensional puzzle using basic building blocks as a basis.

But LEGO is no longer limited to basic bricks. The new collection includes customizable building blocks like wings, sails and masts. Some series, like the Bionicle and Knight's Kingdom series, are specifically designed to build action figure-like models. The Technic series transforms LEGO creations into machines by adding studs, axles, engines and gears. Brainstorm series can build programmable robots
