Another angel, but too big to hang on a Christmas tree

David Winkler created this huge and very detailed angel. I had not seen it before (it is from 2005), and I thought I would share it with you. David wrote about his model: "Original mesh courtesy of Stanford University, based on scans of a replica of the Italian sculpture "Bringer of Light". The physical Lego artifact built from these plans won the Brickfest2005 sculpture category."




He has also created it in the LEGO CAD software LDraw.
"LDraw™ is an open standard for LEGO CAD programs that allow the user to create virtual LEGO models and scenes. You can use it to document models you have physically built, create building instructions just like LEGO, render 3D photo realistic images of your virtual models and even make animations. The possibilities are endless. Unlike real LEGO bricks where you are limited by the number of parts and colors, in LDraw nothing is impossible."
