BadLeo Posted April 5, 2011 (edited) Thanks for all supporting this MOC! I Love you all! I don't know how to edit the subject, do admin could help me remove the WIP? Thanks a Lot!!!!! Making Of: After the Bricks Adventure (Hong Kong) 2011, we (LegendBricks.com) was invited to re-show our creation with add-ons. So I decided to build a Sydney Opera House, since I lived in OZ for 4 years. I inspired by this web page, I wish I could made it with pattern. Therefore, I started to prove my concept: OK, the concept SEEM is work(so scare), I bought 2K 1x3 slopes from bricklink to implement about it. 1st Attempt : Can you see the Angel Wing? It look nice, but I find that, it is fail to make a narrow tail, so I mixed some reversed 1 x 2 slope in it to make it able to slanting. 2nd Attempt : It look a bit similar with the real one, so is a time to mass product: It could say it is 69% complete right now, 7 days to go >_< Special Thanks to Antony Tam to help for the base. =================================================== 8-4-2011 UPDATE Testing the position... Need more time to massage it... ================================= 13-4-2011 4:00AM Adding LED light…. so sleepy…. ================================= 15-04-2011 UPDATE It is Completed finally…… [/align] Edited April 16, 2011 by BadLeo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jasper Joppe Geers Posted April 5, 2011 Cool!!! i really love the way you faced this challenge! The Sydney Opera house is always one of those things that are the hardest to create in bricks, but you're getting there! Oh, any interior?... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BadLeo Posted April 5, 2011 Cool!!! i really love the way you faced this challenge! The Sydney Opera house is always one of those things that are the hardest to create in bricks, but you're getting there! Oh, any interior?... Thanks! I am so sorry that I can't afford interior to meet the dead line(13rd April) but I may add LED light if I have half day before show Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brickdoctor Posted April 5, 2011 Wow. The shaping is most impressive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zorbas Posted April 5, 2011 Let me just agree with all the others and say wow! This is really unique BadLeo, one of the most impressive building techniques I've ever seen. I'll be too waiting for the final result. Great work! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MetroiD Posted April 5, 2011 Yup, that's some skillful SNOTting right there. Do show us the finished article please - and I'd also _love_ to see it adorned with LED lights! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lightningtiger Posted April 5, 2011 Let me be the first Aussie to say what an AWESOME job you are doing so far, now that's a lot of slope pieces ! Someone said interior, OMG.....that would be even bigger undertaking ! I wonder if this is the way Lego will design that rumoured Sydney Opera House ! Good luck with your creation.....keep going and Brick On 'BadLeo' ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BrickSindito Posted April 5, 2011 (edited) Wow.. That's impressive It's a huge and complicated project the Opera House, and your results... Damn.. Edited April 5, 2011 by BrickSindito Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
L@go Posted April 5, 2011 I'm very impressed! Creating curves with bricks is not an easy task, so managing to get it to look so much like the real thing is a great achievement. Well done, I can't wait to see the finished building! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
XimenaPaulina Posted April 6, 2011 Now that is looking great BadLeo! I thought it was quite impossible to achieve the curvaceous look of the Sydney Opera House, it seems you have proven me wrong. The use of those slopes is indeed an ingenious solution for the curved sloping shape, my only concern is its stability. Is it fragile? Still, great job so far and looking forward for the completion of this project. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fuzzylegobricks Posted April 6, 2011 At first I thought it was a micro builds then I realized you were in a group of builders. I love it and can't wait for the outcome Badleo! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LEGO Guy Bri Posted April 6, 2011 This is going to look great upon its completion. Awesome work so far. Great job on the technique used to replicate the concrete ribbed roof. Can't wait to see the finished MOC. Keep up the great work Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BadLeo Posted April 6, 2011 Thanks for all of you! This show will have lot of unbelievable MOC as well, we will going to share it on next week. Featuring Schneider and AndyBear! Now that is looking great BadLeo! I thought it was quite impossible to achieve the curvaceous look of the Sydney Opera House, it seems you have proven me wrong. The use of those slopes is indeed an ingenious solution for the curved sloping shape, my only concern is its stability. Is it fragile? Still, great job so far and looking forward for the completion of this project. I am also surprised to the stability, every 4 rows of slopes was fit with one of this so they able to depend on each other. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
