Composition II in Red, Blue, and Yellow

[kraai]

Want to share a build I finished last night. It’s my interpretation of Piet Mondrian’s "Composition with Red Blue and Yellow". It's around half the size of the original painting, and I aside from a LOT of 1x1 round plates, I tried using only Technic pieces for the detail.

No gearbox? 

no just kidding, technic fan art I kind of like it and it’s interesting to see lots of parts in one colour collection 

[astyanax]

I looove it!

This is very cool! And it’s even nicer to see something a little different and out of the ordinary - great job!

[doughnut]

Nicely done!

Gotta love that red spring crossing the colour boundary while still fitting in perfectly.

[Jurss]

Are those really all in original color? Never thought of that.

Interesting puzzle.

[astyanax]

Admiring it again... it's giving me a steampunk feel

[kraai]

Thank you all for your kind words, so glad the community reacted positively to it.

Next You could try some Aphrodite, there will be even more appreciation

Nice but some expensive & rare parts.
Ideal way to use up cracked parts !!!

WOW, I am a big fan of the original piece but this is way better!

[Jockos]

A surprise, to be sure, but a welcome one! ;)

That's amazing! I'm always being reminded by creations like this that there can never be a shortage of cool ideas with LEGO. (nice use of the red shock absorber too. )

It's a nice way to play with the geometry/shape of pieces. I even see a few that I didn't know existed.

(You should definitely change the gray pieces in the stand though :P )

It looks very nice! There's a lot of effort put here to align elements nicely. I hope none of the parts were painted? Since colors are (oddly) looking too consistent*.

 

*TLG, I'm looking at you.

Inspirational - think I'll have to attempt my own version.

Does modern white Lego stay white, or is it as bad as the old stuff when exposed to sunlight?

I see no difference honestly... I try to keep white Lego out of the sun as a rule.

I should! The stand is for my 32x32 QR code, I was too lazy to build a stand for this. I'm thinking of building a 50cm heigh Technic easel to display it on, maybe with a paintbrush :-)

No paint! If you look at the red parts carefully, you will see the red 8tooth and the worm gears are a slightly different shade of red.

Those aren't Red, but rather Rust colored.

Still, colors are too consistent. I wonder if you, perhaps, didn't use any modern parts, just the ones from the old days when colors were the same?

This is awesome, very creative! 100% would hang in my house

This is a very nice piece of art! Lots of detailed shapes to draw the eye. I had no idea gears came in those different colours.
