This giant creepy corn spider hangs from the ceiling, designed to look like it’s descending from its spun web.  The sculpture is over 5 feet tall, contains 16,492 LEGO pieces, and took 135 hours to construct.

  

 

 

Building it

This creepy guy took 135 hours to design and construct.  He was designed in such a way that the legs opportunistically cross each other to reduce the chance that they would break over time.  The sculpture has a custom-welded metal armature that connects with a hook at the top so it can be hung from the ceiling.

 

My assistant Evan, below, built two copies of this sculpture (so, 270 hours then!).  He fabricated a custom wood jig to sit the sculpture on while he built it, since it does not have a flat bottom.

 

 

I thought it would make a most intriguing hat, but instead it ate my brain.
