LEGO is colorful, fun to play with and the perfect toy for sticky little hands to wrap their fingers around. LCD TVs and BlackBerrys? Not exactly jam friendly. Confusing for kids, then, that these three should be lumped together.
LEGO artist Nathan Sawaya was recently commissioned to build a replica of RIM's BlackBerry Tour. Saway writes on his blog that this project wasn't like some of the other work he's done. "It couldn't be just a static replica, it needed to have a video screen that really worked."
Nathan says that it took some trial and error, but he was able to embed a flat screen TV into his brick sculpture to get the effect of having working.
Check out the pictures of his creation below.
If it's a video you're hankering after, you'll have to click on through to Nathan's blog for the QuickTime clip.

It looks like a TV with metal support and Lego wrap around it to form the housing. I assume it would be harder if the metal support is supporting the Lego and the Lego supporting the TV.
nice idea though i love those giant lego things for some reason!
Dude... he builds lego all day!
I would slam that TV in my living room, its awesome! until a drunken friend knocks it over and you got 3 years of rebuilding. The instruction book would be 20000 pages of diagrams.
guess it's still okay to go with it as an adult these days...
Me too!
Wait, I wish I had a any other job. -_-
One in a computer shop would be nice...
