This LEGO build is a piece of art

I'm tentatively calling this the ‘Mega Helix’. It's an escalation of an earlier helix that you can see here: https://youtu.be/cDizWfYjSMo

It measures in at 131cm (51.5in) tall, and roughly 2400 pieces.

This is an extremely tricky and fragile build, and I had my doubts about being able to re-construct it on camera, but here it is in all its glory. I don’t think this helix can get any ‘thicker’ (i.e. the width of the ribbon is 14 plates). You can see that the rows of bricks don’t quite come together sometimes and connecting one side forces the other to pop apart. There’s also a large crack right at the base that isn't connectable--it's just the nature of the bricks coming through. I’ll do a future video where I talk through this technique and why it’s so fascinating, strange, and challenging. But I truly love it.

Piece count (approximate):
1x2 modified plate [part 2540]: 1200, 1x2 modified plate [part 48336]: 1200
