Take a ride with Gary Davis (Bricks for Brains) as he presents another creation for our parts festival using the LEGO® NEXO KNIGHTS™ Combo Power shield (Design ID 27255).
This simple mixer ride came to mind when I was thinking about using the Nexogons to create fractal patterns. Fractal patterns occur throughout the natural world whereby one simple shape is repeated multiple times to create complicated patterns.
I needed a base for the mixer and it suddenly came to me that a giant Nexogon would be a neat solution.
Together, they make the Nexo-mixer!
Like all good mixers, the riders can accelerate the rotation of their own pod by pulling on the wheel in the middle. Until I motorise it, they'll need to rely on me though!

Wow, well done sir! When I first examined this piece, the three 2x2 fields of studs on each had me thinking of ways to use them as minifig seats on a playground merry-go-round or amusement park ride. I even considered swapping out the seats on my 10244 Fairground Mixer for some sort of Nexogon-based assemblies. But your Nexo-mixer is at a whole amazing new level, and I love the enormous brick-built Nexogon base. Assembling giant Lego elements from regular Lego elements even relates back to your original fractal inspiration, in a way.
ReplyDeleteThis is just so cool, I absolutely love the idea. The Nexogon is so "home" in this MOC. Well done sir!
ReplyDeleteThat is very cool - and while I love classic space, this is probably the best build so far using the Nexogons.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant, absolutely brilliant. And I've been trumped at making a large version of this piece!
