    I'm tentatively calling this the ‘Mega Helix’.
    It measures in at 131cm (51.5in) tall, and roughly 2400 pieces.
    This is an extremely tricky and fragile build, and I had my doubts about being able to re-construct it on camera, but here it is in all its glory. I don’t think this helix can get any ‘thicker’ (i.e. the width of the ribbon is 14 plates). You can see that the rows of bricks don’t quite come together sometimes and connecting one side forces the other to pop apart. There’s also a large crack right at the base that isn't connectable--it's simply the nature of the bricks coming through. I’ll do a future video where I talk through this technique and why it’s so fascinating, strange, and challenging. But I truly love it.
    Piece count (approximate):
    1x2 modified plate [part 2540]: 1200, 1x2 modified plate [part 48336]: 1200

    Wow...
    I'm impressed by his ability to bend bricks in so many creative ways.
    However the thing that blows me away every single time, is his crazy ability to just endlessly multiply something he's already holding...
    Just made one super complex structure that's laborious and difficult to replicate?...
    BAM! Here's 5 more I created with my irl duplication glitch.
