Resolution #236: Build A Lego Replica Of My Favorite Statue... "Man Attacked By Babies!!!"

Due Date: 8-24-2015

Resolution: I don't even want to guess what I was searching for when I discovered this photo several years ago. I bet it was actually something innocent like "Naked Guy Punting a Child." Actually, I think someone else posted on Facebook.

Its absurdity led "Man Attacked by Babies" to quickly become my favorite statue that I like to share at least once a year.

The other day I was trying to find a miniature replica and couldn't find anything.

Lucky for me the whole resolution thing has evolved to be more and more about me learning different forms of art.  

I've already resolved to attempt to figure out sculpting to create a Buddha statue for my eventual Zen Garden. So, I figured since actual sculpting is out of the question, I'd use this as my opportunity to learn Lego Sculpting.

I also just want an excuse to play with Legos as a childless adult.

Result #236: Now That I Have A Low But Steady Income Again… I'll Have To Resume My Quest For Bulk Lego's At A Low Cost...

 

Update #1: The Conclusion…

Date: 8-24-2015

As I said in the past, it's unfortunate that I couldn't afford to accomplish all of these resolutions within one year. Fortunately, I'm not only under the radar, but I'm also off the radar. This means that I can easily shift any of these tasks from the resolution pile and put them on the ongoing bucket list pile and no one will know or care whether or not anything gets done.

Either way, whether I make anything of myself or not, this will eventually be an interesting chapter of my life. I definitely need a Lego statue of a naked man fighting off babies as evidence of this phase so I will definitely be revisiting this task in the near future.
