SolidWorks Flickr Finds: Lego Robots, Creatures and Ships

by Josh on October 30, 2008 · View Comments

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

There’s nothing better that staying up all night playing video games with your favorite robot friend, unless your robot friend is actually made of Legos and gets you cold beverages from the fridge.

If you browse Flickr for SolidWorks Photos, you’ll occasionally come across some outstanding models and renderings. These Lego renderings by Bob Van Vliet are exceptional and make you wish that your big brother all those years ago didn’t loose that gray piece that connected the arm.

Check out these rendering and leave Mr. Vliet a comment on his Flickr page.

Heinz Nachtigall October 31, 2008 at 3:26 am: I love Lego – always did – especially the the big “technic”-boxes. I had quite a lot of them but no more
So I did a model of a box I always wanted – and I even more appreciated the system. The “engieering” of the Lego-bricks is absolutely genius. It looks simple, but actually somebody put a lot of thought into the proportions, so you can combine the components in a wast number of ways
