I had no time to shot videos because the logistics of parade althought not appearing, were hard. but I already ask some people who have videos of the LegoMan to bring me to produce other video with motion. well... that holding cable at that time was very upsetting, but after the problem was solved it also made me laugh and had a certain proud of making a "thing" so big :) the parade was an annual Cavalhadas de Vildemoinhos in the city of Viseu, Portugal and the LegoMan by now is stored and disassembled in 5 parts: legs, chest, head and 2 arms. the green base was made only for the parade and was destroyed :( it has to be like that because of lack of space to store. I am open to ideas to put the LegoMan elsewhere if somebody needs its spectacular presence. is a question of asking for it :)

forgot to say the head has a rotating movement capability (like looking to people in both sides) and the right hand too (like saying good-bye).

it has a steel structure, skin mesh made of 6mm steel bars, then covered with thick cardboard, some 2-way curves in the head were made with polyurethane foam and all surface topped with 10mm foam rubber (sponge), finally was painted with water based paint with colours made exactly as per the toy. I have also to say that before start construction it was made a CAD drawing to preview the final dimensions and have scale capabilities. the tinny 32.5mm toy was magnified about 130x. the cost of those materials was nothing compared with the labour hours spent on the make. here I attach a pic of the main body skeleton. cheers & thanks for comments ;)

Hi all! I'm from Portugal and I made a giant lego man. Althought not made with lego bricks, I think you would like to see. cheers Amadeu
