About the final project for: Building Lifelike Sculptures with LEGO

Building Lifelike Sculptures with LEGO

“Thank you so much for taking part in this course and I hope you've enjoyed it. It's now time to work on your project. This could mean finishing the model you started by completing the course tasks or making a brand-new project! Either way, I strongly suggest you take the time to gather inspiration and make a unique project of your own. Make sure to keep track of your progress with different pictures of each step. It'd be great if you could also explain the choices you've made along the way and tell us if you have any doubts. This will help me guide you better if you need advice. Here are the main steps to follow: References Choose your model and gather references. The Basic Shapes Break your reference material down into basic shapes. Building the Separate Elements Build the basic shapes of your model.

The Final Assembly Assemble the build.
And that's all! It's time to photograph and share your model with the world. I can't wait to see the project you come up with, so don't forget to share it in the forum. You can do so by clicking on "Create your project". Remember to share both the final result and the steps that have led you to it. It would be great if you showed a picture of each step and added a brief explanation about what you have done in each one. I will be more than happy to answer any of the questions you might have along the way! I will try to get back to you as soon as possible. In the meantime, participate in the forum, comment on others' work, and interact with the community. See you there! ”

Have confidence in yourself and know with practice you can build your skills and improve your models. I hope the project you choose will be something you're passionate about, something that inspires and excites you. I usually build things that LEGO does not offer as a model set. I hope you all participate in the Forum, showing your work and constructively commenting on others' works. You never k...”

Samuel Hatmaker is a toymaker from Michigan who spent two decades designing and developing children’s toys in New York City. As a lifelong LEGO fan, he rediscovered his childhood passion after a ten-year hiatus and started building LEGO sculptures with his technical knowledge of toy design. His model inspired by The Golden Girls went viral on social media, encouraging him to tackle more large-scale projects like his portrait series Chicks with Bricks, a collection of realistic LEGO mosaics depicting pop icons.

In 2020, Samuel appeared as a contestant on the first season of LEGO Masters, and his art has been displayed in galleries all over the world, including the Comic-Con Museum in San Diego and Art Basel in Miami. As a prolific toymaker, he has also created toys for renowned brands such as Marvel, DC, Hello Kitty, Nickelodeon, Disney, Crayola, Mattel, Hasbro, and more.
