So a teeny-tiny working Mac is pretty cool. And who wouldn't want a 3D-printed portable NES? But a model of the BMO from "Adventure Time," made out of Lego and housing a fully functional Linux-based Raspberry Pi computer? Oh, be still our beating hearts. Software developer Michael Thomas created this wonder for BrickCon 2013. "I came up with the idea a few months ago," he told CNET Australia. "I had purchased a Raspberry Pi and was trying to come up with interesting unique projects to make use of it. Being a fan of Lego, I'm also always looking for creative Lego builds to take on. I had seen some other Raspberry Pi Lego cases, and I knew the two fit well together. Around that time, I was also just starting to watch episodes of 'Adventure Time.' It was hard not to enjoy Finn and Jake's lovable electronic companion, BMO. It didn't take much at that point to decide that I should attempt to bring BMO to life, with Lego skin and a Raspberry Pi heart." Packed inside BMO's adorable Lego frame is a Model B Raspberry Pi board;

a 4GB SD card with the Raspbian Linux OS; a low-profile microSD card adapter; a micro USB cable connecting to an external Mediasonic USB battery pack for power; lego bmo buyand a USB connector for the port on the front of the device. buy lego bricks online indiaThe screen is a 2.5-inch TFT display.buy lego 5893 "Once I had the idea in mind, it still took some time to make it a reality," Thomas said. "I had to design the Lego build and the electronics. Then, sourcing all the parts took several weeks. Once I had all the parts, it took a couple weeks of plucking away at putting it together (and dusting up on my soldering skills) during my free time." Like the character in the TV show, Lego BMO is multitalented. It can run video games, play video (including its own show -- recursive!), surf the Web, and play music.

Lego BMO will be on display at BrickCon in Seattle on Saturday, October 5 and Sunday, October 6.

Adventure Time™ Reviews - page 2 Lego Imagine Nation tour, Canada's largest Lego event, kicks off in Calgary 'I hate to say it, we have to glue each and every piece on' says Lego master builder, 1 of just 8 in the world By Tricia Lo, CBC News Posted: Sep 09, 2016 4:47 PM MT Last Updated: Sep 09, 2016 4:47 PM MT The Lego Imagine Nation Tour features interactive play experiences, life-size Lego models and a jumbo brick pit. Spoiler alert: Lego master builders actually use glue. Christopher Steininger is one of just eight Lego master model builders on the planet, tasked with designing and creating life-size models of people, cars and anything else you could imagine.

But the complex, 3D models require special tools, the most important of which happens to be a sticky school staple. "I hate to say it, we have to glue each and every piece on," Steininger told CBC Calgary News at 6. Christopher Steininger is one of just eight certified Lego master model builders in the world. 'It's a pretty difficult job to get, but once you get it, you never want to leave,' he says. Steininger is in Calgary to kick off Canada's largest ever Lego event: The Imagine Nation Tour, where enthusiasts of all ages can compete in construction, experiment and learn from experts at the BMO Centre until Sunday. "Unlike the Lego Movie where the good guys are master builders and they don't glue everything together, it turns out that master builders are the bad guys, and we have to glue everything together," he joked. Lego Imagine Nation Tour brings life-sized superheroes to Calgary0:43 Some might consider it cheating, but it's purely practical, said Steininger.

The finished products are shipped around the world and "would never survive a truck ride if we didn't glue 'em," he said. The work is arduous and requires expertise in 3D visual arts. A life-size person takes as many as 200 hours to build, whereas a scale model car could take 2,000 hours, Steininger said. Each model is hollow, which saves on lego bricks, time and shipping costs, he said. Some also make use of steel reinforcements, in case a child decides to try to hang off an extended arm, Steininger explained.

Interactive stations allow fans to see their creations come alive on the big screen, as they witness an immersive 60-second experience with their constructed object. A reproduction of the Saddledome will also be built out of Lego bricks during the event.
