They were hand modeled with the help of sanders and bandsaws, thanks for your interest and your comments!
Hector Silva Aug 12, 2010

Hector Silva Aug 12, 2010

Haha yeah, I was going to say - this could be a hot plate, haha.
Rolando Hernandez Garcilazo Aug 12, 2010

Are this models hand made or Computer Machine?
Rolando Hernandez Garcilazo Aug 12, 2010

Rhino is great tool, and mixing works between rhinoceros and solid works saves time and effort with great results. Very clean model. Keep the work Hector.
Hector Silva Aug 12, 2010

Thanks Ben, best of luck!
Ben Carter Aug 12, 2010

Looks good. Currently working on Rhino myself should have it up in a few days.

did you use t-spline plug in for it?
Hector Silva Jul 12, 2010

thank you so much nathaly!
Nathaly Sarmiento Jul 12, 2010

Hector, as a parent I absolutely love this idea. I think my daughter would enjoy such a toy for a LONG time because it's the type of toy that can be enjoyed by toddlers and grade-school children alike. I hope this quickly goes from a concept to a reality.
andrew grassh Jul 03, 2010

awesome!
Hector Silva Jul 02, 2010

Thank you so much Shweta, I believe ideas should be like a Ikea manual, effective and easy to read. Layout is also, it's all part of the design process. Again thanks for the support! :)
shweta verma Jul 02, 2010

simple, effective, fun idea! especially love the illustrations!! (the numbering 1/2/3.. neat)
Hector Silva Jul 02, 2010

thank you pankaj.
Pankaj Singh Jul 02, 2010

Hector Silva Jul 01, 2010

Thank you Seung, my approch was simply, make it big + make it fun...these are perfect for the imaginators who take their creativity above and beyond, thanks again!
seung kim Jul 01, 2010

I like the idea of making the blocks big. As a kid, I remember losing many of the LEGO pieces because some of them were too small. Nice Job!
Hector Silva Jun 19, 2010

Bruno Oro Jun 19, 2010

Emme Copparstad Jun 12, 2010

Nice contrast to previous work! ;)
Hector Silva May 16, 2010

well yes, we also use blue foam for exploratory shapes...then move on to this HD foam for final models.
Tom Spencer May 16, 2010

foam we use is usually blue , this looks like a rapid prototype resin material thats why i asked!
Hector Silva May 15, 2010

models made of high density modeling foam. used machine tools to model them. :)
Tom Spencer May 15, 2010

what are these made of? How did u make them?
Hector Silva Apr 16, 2010

Hi Hector, Thanks for your interest in my work, I like this project a lot! -Louis Costa
Hector Silva Oct 01, 2009

but of course, children would have lots of fun...also, the cubes are portable and the child can make different shapes.
Bill zeonsa Oct 01, 2009

nice idea- but surely would take up alot of space.
Hector Silva Sep 17, 2009

haha yeah, lego's are awesome, if only they were big! thanks alex!
Alek Shnayder Sep 17, 2009

I remember being a kid playing with legos, building skyscrapers, and always wishing I could build it a little bit taller every time. Too bad I didn't have this set instead.
Hector Silva Sep 17, 2009

it is soft touch, the material is in the last page of the project, thanks for the comments!
Marcy Lin Sep 17, 2009

Can you introduce the material?? Is it possible to be a little bit soft touch... By the way... my suggestion is the sharp corner good for children or not?? Thank you.( it's a very good idea...)
Vincent Ashikordi Aug 11, 2009

Love the Design Process! That's what it's about. How you get there means a lot to employers. Keep it up!
