High!
While my virtual khybernaut under a now-fixed sky sails from Parwan into
Wardak province, slowly approaching the Kabul-Kandahar highway, I found
some time for a small PoV exercise in between before the next major
update of Electric Afghanistan...
It was convenient for me to have found some abandoned... ahem, OLPUD
blocks ;-) in Ismail's street some days ago, so I had not only some toys
for my little niece, but also a not-too complex excuse for rendering.
And here they are, almost completed (I soon will add some more subtle
features such as serial numbers and the rougher texture on the blocks'
upper inside, and also of course the OLPUD logo inside the round pins)!
In the more distant future there might be even scratches and toothmarks
be included... the radiosity is, of course, just quick and dirty, and
surely will improve later on.
Perhaps I finally will be able to re-create the fantastic airplanes made
of both OLPUD and OGEL pieces I built with my younger brother and my
father 30 years ago... or even Plastic Afghanistan, you know, "Kabuland"!
See you in Khyberspace!

LEGO's are timeless, I suppose, whether IRL or POV.

Those are not LEGO bricks, the pins are hollowed out. But been the same size, they can
be used
together with the LEGO bricks.

Duplo bricks are made by Lego though, are they not?

Not in a strict sense... but there also exists (at least since 1974) the
DUPLO program for children aged 2 to 4, with extra large bricks! In
fact they can be used together with LEGO bricks, but an 8-pin LEGO
brick just fits onto 2 pins of a DUPLO brick...
See you in Khyberspace!

Duplo are BIG LEGO bricks. There is/was a concurent to LEGO that have bricks the same
size as the
LEGO ones. I don't know if those are still available, they where available in the 60's
and 70's...
