[bobjenkins]

Cuando fue un niño me gustaron los Legos
Me gustan las fotos, Difference Engine, y V8 engine, y Relativity


LEGO is something people just love to play with. No matter if you are a kid, an adult or an old person, if you are able to see, you will love LEGO. These small bricks when coupled with some creativity and time can turn up into some of the most stunning and breath-taking sculptures ever. If you want to built some LEGO creation of your own but don’t know what to built, here is some inspiration. These LEGO creations are a wonder in their own and I am sure that you will love most of them.
Master Chief LEGO


The glorious Lego creation of Master Chief is definitely worth a look. The Master Chief Lego has been made out of rectangular blocks of Lego and Halo fans will surely love it.

LEGO Venus Savage


Before being assimilated into the Venus Collective, the Venus Savage was once a hideous beast. It is now a cybernetic war machine and part of the Venus Collective. The Venus savage has stubby organic arms and an incredible color scheme.
Update: On request of the builder of Venus savage, we are including the Venus Gospel LEGO creation. Venus Gospel is a combination of mecha and religion. Like the Venus Savage, Venus Gospel also has a amazing color combination. It took Dali Zheng 30 hours to complete this Venus Gospel LEGO mockup.

Beautiful work! It's amazing what people do with their hobbies.

Although it seems to me that Escher's one is tricked... I can't imagine how they made the spatial effect on stairs with volume.

Basically, big giant robots that ruin everyones day.

[sosia]

¡Muy divertido!
@Irmarmar
As Vega says, big robots/robot armour. For you, mecha == "Mazinger Z"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mecha
Saludos

[irmamar]

¡Yes, I know who is Mazinger Z! "¡Puños fuera!

They actually save their days.



@Sosia & irmamar: ¡Planeadoooor abajooo!

I have had these bricks before, when I was a kid, but I never could to do a figure of thus size, I don't know perhaps my imagination does not gives for more, but I believe that the people who does that kind to figures, they have to a ability in the build of the structures, or they are Engineers, I'm not very sure, but I believe that toys created in the pictures are made with planes and other kind to machine to precise the sizes and tall height of the builds.

I don't remember "planeador abajo" Sorry! But I remember Afrodita A

Angelica, what do you mean with "save their days"? I didn't know this expression. Thanks

¿Has mirado la película 'transformers'? Es de Hollywood y en inglés. Supongo que se podría llamar los robotes males o buenos, porque ellos ayudan los humanos, y los males robotes atacan los humanos. Pienso que Angelica habla de los buenos robotes los cuales ayudan los humanos, o 'save their day/save the day'

Jaja siempre los heroes en las películas 'save the day'
Nunca siempre los robotes grandes/mechas son males

El plural de robot es "robots"

I didn't see that movie.

Does save the day mean "ayudar a los humanos"? Why is it not "help people" or "save people"?

[Jessica]

oh my wow!!! 0.0 my little brother plays with legos, he built a gun (but he isn't really violent) and I have a "bathroom" made of legos with a door :P

Pienso que Angelica habla de los buenos robotes robots los cuales ayudan los humanos, o 'save their day/save the day' Cierto

Jaja siempre los heroeshéroes en las películas 'save the day'
Nunca No* siempre los robotes robots grandes/mechas son males malos.

*Either "nunca" or "siempre"... one cannot mix both in one sentence.

@Irma: tenía varios nombres, dependiendo del doblaje, pero el "planeador" era la especie de helicóptero que se acoplaba en la cabeza del robot para hacerlo andar.

En cuanto a "save their days", Bob está en lo correcto.
En realidad era un comentario irónico sobre el montón de ciudades destruidas por una pelea de gigantes.

...Y salvo la mejor opinión de un hablante nativo, se usa "salvar el día" como una forma de decir que el resultado al final es favorable y se salvaron de la amenaza.

Supongo que 'ayudar a los humanos' significa 'save the day', pero es un modismo usamos aquí. Cuando se ayuda alguien de un día arruinado. Pienso que eso es más mejor traducción.

Save the day =
Helping someone from having a ruined day/week/ect.
Helping someone from a bad situation
Like Angelica said, 'helping someone to reach a favorable outcome'. Well said!

Bob helped me with my homework, and I recieved an A+ in my Spanish class. He saved the day!


@Angelica, ¡gracias por las correcciones!
