Introduction: Lego Iron Man Sculpture
Have you ever wanted to build a Lego Iron Man Sculpture but not capable of building one by yourself ? And Lego Custom builds are too expensive? Well, it's your lucky day! Here is an instructable on how to build a life-size Lego Iron Man sculpture!(only the head)
Please vote for me in the contests if you like this instructable! :)
And the rendering program I used is called Bluerender.
Step 1: Background About the Sculpture
Technically I did not create the lego Iron Man model you are seeing right now, but I did create the instructions for it. Well, what I did was reverse engineer the model by looking at various photos I found online.(the ones above) And I rebuild the model with Lego Digital Designer and my knowledge of Legos. Which took me about 40 hours to recreate, which is painful and fun at the same time, but at least it's faster than the original Lego Iron Man's build time! The original Life size lego Iron Man was created by Lego master designer Eric Varszegi( he helped to make the life-size lego x wing displayed in New York) and the Lego group, and it took them 250 hours to build the whole thing! I really think Lego Group should give this guy and his team an award because it's such a masterpiece! Anyways, let's get started!

Step 2: Making of the Scuplture
This time, I am not going to take a screenshot of every single layer because there is too much detail to show so I am just gonna show you how I made the Sculpture in LDD.
Step 3: Lego Parts Needed for This Project
If you are interested in this project, please purchase the following lego parts before you start. If you do not have the following pieces, you can purchase them on Lego Store website or other third party websites. All you have to do is copy the brick element number (it's the 6 or 7 digit number before brick) and paste them on one of the websites.

Step 4: Actual Instructions
So, this time, I made a video to show you the instructions because there are too many steps for me to screenshot. The video might be too fast in some parts so you can slow it down by changing the speed. And here are the parts list. I wanted to upload the HTML guide and the Ldd file but somehow I keep getting errors when I upload the files so I might upload it another day or so. The number of lego brick used in this sculpture is 2011.
P.S. Here is the link to the video in case you are using the app version of instructable.https://youtu.be/87HvpOxHzsU
And the LDD file of the Iron Man Sculpture is available for download now!
