@@andyjmorley Don't worry :D its not "illegal" as in you'll be arrested or sued or anything for building models in this way. But there are a series of guidelines that creators of official lego kits have to follow in order to get their design approved and published. Theres a few odd rules, but one of the main ones is you can't use bricks being "bent" as part of the design, or having bricks join at an unusual angle. This model uses a lot of small bends to get the unique shape. As it breaks the lego "laws", people call builds like this "illegal". I'm not sure if thats the official terminology, but you'll hear it a lot in places where people talk about lego. (additionally, I heard a rumour that some official kits from LEGO have building instructions that are technically illegal!)

The name of this channel is "Brick Bending," so dpatts intent is undeniable. Thanks for your attempt at schooling me. You can sit down now.

Here I was thinking he was building plant cells or some sort of bioweapon, but no, it's even more destructive. He's getting ready to Katamari up the whole city with that thing!

I love the 'oh' moments in these videos, usually when there's a sudden step-up in the size of the build (eg 2:45), but here also when I worked out what you were building (bc I happen to know three solid pentagons joined can't remain flat, so I figured was going to turn into a dodecahedron around the 4 minute mark). Wild as always, and I love me some platonic solids so a lego one is just 😍 (Now do a 24-cell 😉😂)

Early on i thought we were getting the traditional 12 pentagon 20 hexagon football.

whenever you build a piece and then pull in identical copies, is it the first piece that you record being built or is it the last one? where the other pieces have all been built already by the time you record one or do you record one first before you start building more

You just sent me down a rabbit hole. Definitely intrigued.

Potential energy visualized

Never realized I could get anxiety from watching a Lego build

I noticed that with intitial build at about 0:20, it creates three connected sections that can't interact with each other except through that point, which got me thinking about what if someone used that in a build to represent alternate dimensions.

Wow, great job filming this! To get the angles right for such a large and cumbersome build shows skill not just in building but filming as well

Eventually this channel is going to level up enough in pushing LEGO to the limits they'll make a Metatron Cube.

Cool. Let's go make Earth.

2_Questions: 1__based on the stress level of the bricks, do you feel comfortable saying that this is the minimum possible size for this structure? 2__by using 5-sided corners, do you believe that an icosahedron could be made with shorter lengths between corners? PS: I just followed your link to the icosahedron video, & I'd forgotten that detail ... that you inverted the bricks! I usually take it for granted that the studs will always face OUTWARD ... what led you to change their orientation? PPS: Have you considered making it possible to shorten the "arms" by using an additional pair of hinge pieces between each pair of corners? The reduced level of brick stress might justify using fewer layers as well...?

At first I was confused, then all the pieces started to click into place for me.

2:55 is that the natural curve it ends up with these pieces in this config, or because you've been bending them so much they've become ever so slightly malformed ?

Make it properly with hexagons and pentagons, it will be better

I'd be more concerned over the stressing of the parts, but they're lime green, so it makes it a bit more bearable 😂 Not a color I particularly like.
