Oken Posted June 15, 2009 Hi all ! I suppose you know the iPhone made by Nathan Sawaya. I tried to do the same (because I really want to have one but I prefer buy some sets instead :D ) But it seems to have somme problems with the construction with the studs and I wonder if they are no tricks or cheats... Look at the suppose stud line between the green arrows. It's really possible? (or I'm a big noob?) More images and back view here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guss Posted June 15, 2009 I think that's 2 arches with a 2x2 round round dish inserted where the arches are empty, but I don't know how he insterted this inside the phone without cutting the studs on the arch Oo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Oken Posted June 16, 2009 Thx Guss. I agree with you and I'm desappointed with Sawaya's work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Green Hair Posted June 16, 2009 And that is not the only cutting that has been done here, look at the 1x1 bricks next to the arches. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Adam Posted June 16, 2009 Geez, guys, what's so disappointing? So he cut a few bricks - I don't see any of you scoffing at custom minifigures, so why be nitpicky about this creation? I think it's a great creation, and I'm going to guess that you [Oken] do too - otherwise, you wouldn't want to be recreating it. Yes, the 1x1 cut brick effect could've been mimicked with five 1x1 plates and a 1x1 tile, but that's no need to excoriate Nathan for it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KimT Posted June 16, 2009 Well said Adam As long as noone's cutting my bricks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spyder Posted June 16, 2009 (edited) I think it's fine, I'm a brick cutter. I modify pieces, not all the time, but mainly things for minifigs. He couldn't have had the effect he did without cutting the bricks. EDIT: fixed grammatical errors :) Edited June 16, 2009 by Spyder Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mirandir Posted June 16, 2009 I did realise this soon after seeing it for the first time. I was wondering a lot about how he made that part. And it was a little disapointing to realize that it was made by modifying the bricks. I can appreciate modded minifigs for what they are: modified. But here is something claimed to be made out of LEGO that can't be made with LEGO. It's kind of cheating and that takes away all the greatness of it.
