@@richfromtang I suspect it's just a matter of time
@@richfromtang I think such a build with a similar technique would need to be larger but would perhaps also impose somewhat less stress on the pieces? (Just guessing.)
Why so thick...
@@BrickBendingmake an icosahedron next
this is the first one I've seen where the bricks are actually fighting back and flinging themselves at the aggressor
I wonder how many times those gloves get caught between pieces
They're cloth and tight enough so probably not a lot, latex gloves would get caught a lot though
On a rare occasion, but I've become quite adept at working with them.
@BrickBending I also prefer to build with gloves on. Helps alot with the dusting...
It's like my life, trembling, falling to pieces and about to snap.
bro... you alright?
Are you green and made of pentagons too?
Dude you okay you need help?
So dramatic. You will be okay.
@@ChaosPootato😂
Now you can roll for barbarian hit points!
I laughed out loud at that : )
@@BrickBending :)
This one gave me a lot more anxiety than usual... 😬
me too
I was about to say exactly this. But this is the first one that makes me anxious. His other works are actually very relaxing to watch.
Especially because of lime lego. It has a reputation
May be illegal but it's very nice
Bit of a noob here, not understanding, but what makes it illegal?
Does it have an illegal building technic? Looks like it's just build to have a lot of movement.
Might be more of an illegal structure then the classic illegal building technic.
@@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!)
@@andyjmorley Basically, any building technique that puts a lot of stress on the pieces is called "illegal" because it may cause the pieces themselves to break in some cases.
@@andyjmorleyif it requires normally rigid pieces to bend or be under stress
i’m high as hell thinkin about how if lego decided to make their pegs squares instead of circles, none of this would be possible
@@sabrinaault well this one specifically would actually be possible.
No, no it wouldnt
Me who has been collecting lego for almost half a decade and I still can’t find any hinge pieces: 👁️👄👁️
that's like 4 years...
nah same
That's cause this guy bought them all
how do you not have any hinge pieces in find them in almost every set i have 😭
bricklink.com, but that is a rabbit hole that you might not emerge from
I've watched enough of these videos that I can usually tell where they're going, but I had no idea for about the first four minutes of this video
Seeing lego jiggle is unsettling.
Isn't it?
It must be LEGO cuz jam don't shake like that...
Watch out, you might get a cease and desist letter from LEGO… 😂
They send someone by to rough me up on a regular basis.
Skipping C&D and going straight to the Pinkertons? Is this Lego or WotC?
This video is the epitome of "hol up, let him cook"
Edit: I feel like I just watched a clinical torture video
When I hear these creations squeak louder than my knees in winter I need to imagine this kind sir in white gloves wearing protective glasses 🤓👷
"The Dodecalicious!" -Fry, Futurama
that moment when I realized you're building a mf dodecahedron was really hype
Me: I thought pentagons didn’t tesselate
BrickBending: they do,
*in 3D space*
Wound as tight as my nerves have been, awesome build!
My god, when you started wobbling it, I was sitting here sweating and begging you to please stop haha.
Great build, even if it did give me an anxiety attack!
The amount of jiggle that thing has is just CRAZY
Matt Parker/ Stand-up Maths needs to see this shape!
Oh finally someone who is interested in the same things I am
I really got scared when it went black before you rolled it
3:18 i was thinking "yeah! one more wall and it'll be a perfect hexagon!" ...haha, nope. I sympathize with the stress those bricks are under.
Earth, Air, Fire, Water, BRICK
...and not too much wind 'cause... 😲
Truth!
If you are gonna make an "Avatar" reference, at least get the order of the elements right.
@@hiddenscorpiusXI The classical four (or five) elements are much older than the film Avatar... 😉
Ancient cultures in Greece, Angola, Tibet, India and Mali all have similar lists, so I mean much older. The order varies...
@@lenarsa66 Yes. However, it seems @dpatts was trying to make reference to "Avatar, the Last Airbender", an _animated series_ unrelated to the _film,_ where people that control the elements are called "Benders" (waterbender, earthbender, etc.), and the ability itself is called "Bending." 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.
a large lego hollow green pentagon soccer ball isnt real, it cant hurt you.
*large lego hollow green pentagon soccer ball:*
😆
It go boing
Early on i thought we were getting the traditional 12 pentagon 20 hexagon football.
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 😉😂)
5:47 Fly Detected
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.
Welcome to the dark worlds of LEGO kusudama. Willing to try a Truncated Icosahedron? :)
You just sent me down a rabbit hole. Definitely intrigued.
Man those Lego pieces were fightin’.
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
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
Bloody brilliant! Always exciting to watch.
Potential energy visualized
Never realized I could get anxiety from watching a Lego build
Such a lot of work and a very impressive result!!
I can't believe how much I loved watching this! Outstanding job.
Geometrical shapes are so... fullfilling and satisfactory... can't explain... just is! 😊
We are kindred spirits.
Now make it bounce, I wanna see it explode
Damn impressive.
Lego: Build that down, build that down!
Eventually this channel is going to level up enough in pushing LEGO to the limits they'll make a Metatron Cube.
I enjoyed that!
loved it
Was not expecting that at 5:30
I'm always afraid these will break before they can be completed
next make a buckyball
Actual insanity, so good
True on both counts
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...?
amazing
**jiggles bricks**
*Finishes video*
*sighs*
*proceeds to take apart all the pieces*
Probably he works for/in Lego... and there is a section dedicated as museum for his creations... never disassembled
Watching this video feels like something between AMSR, yoga, and torture.
Me to my friend while looking at his brother that built this: double dog dare you to kick it
Genius
Give this enough time and it will grow out to atoms made of lego and eventually life made entirely out of lego
Living up to the channel name with this one.
Profoundly cursed build
Why can I feel their PAIN ? This is INHUMAN
They are living their best lives, I promise.
Cool. Let's go make Earth.
At first I was confused, then all the pieces started to click into place for me.
lovely
Cool

This is probably the strangest d12 I’ve ever seen..
What Lego gives me when I was young?
Imagination, Creativity, Concentration, and bad fingernails
Barbarians about to roll for hp.
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 ?
Oh cool.. They're making a hexago.. That's a pentagon... Oh no.. That's.. Two pentagons, don't tell me they're gonna make a dodekahedron..
Bravo🎉
Roll for initiative and…
Boy do you take it - Randall munroe
He just wants to flex how many identical pieces he has
Watching this just makes me think of organic chemistry. So many make me think of like crystals or simple molecules, but here I feel like we're starting with three molecules and working with compounds...
Make it properly with hexagons and pentagons, it will be better
Beautiful when it becomes a 3D Lotus for a while 🌸
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.
Biggest d12 I ever seen
I want to build this but i dont have the pieces nor the patience
This is the lego equivalent of man made horrors beyond our comprehension
I'm scared
It will be okay.
Oh look, it's the relationship with my s/o... a lot of time and effort invested just to watch it fall apart
Matt Parker would be proud!
8:32 that's mike wazowski
I wonder if those bricks are being plastically deformed. They would definitely be deformed if left over time like that
The beauty of these is that there’s no permanent deformation. The reason it’s so bendy is from the loose connections of the bricks, not the bricks themselves bending.
@@Myne33 yeah, idk. The thing about some plastics (Lego's ABS included) is that prolonged pressures like this does bend it over time. It's called creep
the most deformities this would cause would be damage to the inner walls and the studs; the parts attacking the bricks are under so much pressure that they will deform over time.
@@LEGOman893-vu9in I agree
I talk about this in my patreon video. Over long periods of time there is a little deformation, but even still they still hold together after many years.
Terrence Howard is losing his mind.
1 x 1 = 2....
Is a 1x1 LEGO brick actually a 2?
@@BrickBending awesome!!
HOW DO U HAVE THAT MANY PIECES
Hou much time did you spend on this?
How much money did he spend on all those plates? :)
I get into the zone and lose track. But probably not that long.
...wow
🤯🤯
🤜🤛
Make a d20 next
I feel like I'm watching torture.
Lego if they do yoga
Reminds me of plant cells

@BrickBending That might sound a bit silly, but for some weeks now I'm thinking about if I should ask you for help or not. Because you don't even know me. But I watch your amazing videos now for a long time and if there's one person who could have a solution, then it's you, I guess. But yeah, it would be absolutely understandable if this gets a clear no.
I like to build Lego SciFi Creations and Sets that are movie & TV based. Already a while ago I looked for instructions of the Orville from the same called TV series. Actually there are some rare instructions and build ideas, but I have to say that those don't meet my taste. So I decided to try building one on my one.
And here's my problem now: Those three nacelles that are lying upon another and are shaped like arches... do you have any idea how to solve this. Those are also not just arches, it's also twisted in itself. Do you think it's even possible to build with Lego? I would appreciate any advice, even if you say 'Nah, give it up. Not possible.'. But if you have any idea how to bring this to work, maybe you would like to share your ideas.
Oh and I hope I could describe everything good enough, I'm not a native english speaker.

Ok now make a gyro-elongated pentagonal bi-pyramid
(For those who don’t know: and icosahedron)
(For those who don’t know x2: look it up)
