Lego Poseidon will make you think twice about that cruise

Lego Poseidon will make you think twice about that cruise photo


It's always fun to see what creations people come up with from Lego, and this interesting little mythology nod from Legohaulic is no exception. While it might not be the most detailed construction we've seen, it's still got a lot of charm, and as a big myth geek it gets some extra props from me merely for the subject matter.

Sometimes it's even interesting to take a look at how small people can craft things while still making them recognizable, and it's a success here with that adorable little ship about to be dashed down upon the sea. Speaking of which, I also love seeing how different artists create the effect of moving water from Lego bricks, and this has done a pretty nice job of it. Finally, this is also a motorized float for the MocOlympics, which has quite a number of other impressive pieces to look over. Still, if you're looking to Greek mythology for inspiration, how about a little Eris next time?

You know nothing of Lego Poseidon or his works! =p

No, seriously, really neat item. The white waves are a little weird, would have made more sense to use that for the base then tossed in occasional white blocks in places if he was trying to represent foam. Poseidon himself came out exceptionally well but I'm going to have to fault him a little on the boat which looks like a prefab from another kit.

Discord was one of my favorite recurring characters on Hercules: The Legendary Journeys, tbh

Meet Davidkraig at Kidrobot NY's May 18 customizing event

Want to come check out some live customizing and meet artist Davidkraig? If you're in New York City, you can do that on Saturday from noon to 5 p.m. Eastern at Kidrobot New York (118 Prince St., SoHo, Manhattan).  As for what he'll be working on ... I'm not too sure. But you've seen his work before, and I assume he'll be sculpting out/painting something just as impressive for the event.
