Noah in 3D LEGO® brick letters

How is Noah built in 3D LEGO bricks?

Noah has 4 letters, stands 7 layers tall and adds up to 55 bricks. Every horizontal run uses 2×N bricks LEGO actually sells, and consecutive layers stagger their joints — a real brick bond — so the letters stand on their own. At this piece count it helps to build letter by letter and check the spacing as you go.

How many LEGO bricks do you need for Noah in 3D?

Building Noah takes 55 bricks in 5 different sizes: 36 of 2×2, 7 of 2×1, 6 of 2×6, 3 of 2×3 and 3 of 2×4. The 2×2 ones are 65% of the total, so those are the ones to keep spare. By colour that is 18 red, 14 blue, 12 yellow and 11 green. The same name as a flat mosaic drops to 36 pieces, 19 fewer, and needs 2 baseplates instead of 1.

Which letter of Noah takes the most bricks?

How big is Noah in 3D?

Standing up, Noah is 31 studs wide — about 24.8 cm — and 7 layers tall, which is 6.7 cm. Each letter is 2 studs deep, so it stands unsupported. You need 1 baseplate of 32 × 16.

What size should you build Noah at: S, M or L?
