There really easy to figure out except the last one i have made the rest and its just camera angles :)

Last one is obviously fake you can see reflections on all the different pieces and reflection is only visible from one angle not all angles as it is in that pic

To todd: I don’t know if that is true, but I am amazed on how you look closely and deeply to the details in the picture.

the first image is obviously digitally manipulated. copy the image to your computer, load it up in Paint.NET, and zoom in 300%. You will see that the vertical seams before, and behind the man sitting on the left, are the same. In fact, you will also notice that the seam in front of the man was the source for the copy that was pasted behind the man, and that the seams do not line up properly behind the man on the left.

Also note evidence of a blur tool being used on the middle Red and Yellow sections, along with repeating dithering patterns therein.

A for effort, but this is not a real model.

1 and 4 are fake in my opinion. 1 is clearly two images with photoshop smudge in the middle. 4 is impossible even considering angles because each edge overlaps at one end in a way it cannot if it is attached as it clearly is at the other.

2 and 4 are perfectly possible: the top elements of each lego arch where it ‘seems’ to meet with it’s impossible target are in fact not attached, the hover, and the rear columns rise behind. The correct angle is found and voila.

p.s number 4 is clearly fake if for no other reason that some of the lego parts appear to be reflecting none existent adjacent pieces of lego?!

If an image has been cut out, it’s usually also been tampered with!

@ Milla and Budislav:
Those would be good ways to do it, but that was not what happened in this picture, you can tell by the seems in the lego pieces. For instance in the red blocks the seems are vertical on both sides of the left man, and they are diagonal on both sides of the right man.

Starting from left to right – first two rows are in U shape,and the rest of structure is in T shape, but the colors doing the trick. Top of the T, where right guy sits is red as the inner side of U shape. T shape is ending behind left guy so we can`t see it. Everything else is angle of photography where top of T becomes inner side of U.

Hope you will understand my point because I cant tink on Engish (:

any1 else notice how in the middle of the 1rst pic where there is yellow anr red the lines stop..but there are lines next to the two male figures? I think it was photoshopped there and blended 0..o

The first one is two images in photo shop, just look at the plain lines on the red legos. the last one is impossible so it is also photoshop simple layering tricks

The third one is the same as the wall – e one. Its longer on the bottom by 2 pegs, as well as having the right side built up about twice as high (hard o count cause of lighting)

Good catch, Milla.

The Wall-E one is another simple illusion; there are eight pegs on the beam on top, but only seven pegs between the ends of the stacks below. The right-side stack isn’t really connected to the beam as it appears, but behind it.

The third picture is a little harder to pin down because of the lighting. It seems to be a similar trick of angle, but is actually longer on the bottom than on top…hard to say.

The fourth one is trippy, I don’t know how they did that.

Look closely at the first one. You see that one side has been built upwards and the other downwards.

The first one is easy. The lego Wall-E is cute, the other one, I dunno.
