Who says Duplos are only for toddlers?

Recommended Posts

Well, as I have many Duplos at home (I got a 2 yo kid which is a Lego enthusiast), when I want to "physically" build something, I use those, instead of LDD.

Of course, the size and colors of the bricks tend to limit the results, but Duplo can also be useful to build something nice.

These are starships I made for my little kid, and he enjoyed playing with them at least as much as I enjoyed building them (and it was much!).

Does anyone else build something with Duplos for their toddlers?

good wholesome stuff. The big one next to the laptop looks inspired by the Viper from Battlestar Galactica...?

There is no "direct" inspiration, though I must say 35 years of watching Sci-Fi (in all media) might have left some passive inspiration in me...

Yeah - my wife pointed this out the other day... 'it's good to sea that game makers and film makers agree on the general sound a zombie should make'. I was playing The Last Of Us. So we are all conditioned. I have yet to hear a zombie make sounds like a smurf :laugh:

I don't have a kid, and thus don't build for a toddler, but I use DUPLO mostly as filler in mocs. Nonetheless, it does have its uses... :)
