As you can see I used a plastic cup to make a mold, in this way I could remove the mold carefully by cutting it open because the dry cement can be very fragile.]]

Lego itself off course has a bonding ability, but it also is made to easily take it apart and rebuild something new. But when you combine this with clue it becomes a strong structure. Also I think its very nice to see the color grid without directly associating it with lego because we are used to see lego in the typical block form]]
