Glad you like it. I have taken this one apart but I believe I saved the plans using LDRAW…

Hehe my boys will like this idea. I need some gnomes and they are the lego kids. Of course I’ll have to buy some new ones for the gnomes and some more for their collection for making me some gnomes.

I love doing stuff like this with my kids, thanks for the great idea!

[...] As to why this is interesting, I built my own garden gnome in 2006 as well – while I was in Fairfax VA for the Brickfest convention (it wasn’t at the convention; I built it from parts I bought there, in my hotel room afterward). I posted it here shortly after I built it in September 2006. Here’s mine for comparison: [...]

[...] I think garden gnomes aren’t half bad. I got one recently for my wife (and not one of those nasty resin ones either). Anyway, Bill Ward puts little plastic bricks to good use in his own garden gnome: [...]

[...] As you may recall, while we were back east for BrickFest I bought a bunch of LEGO and built two new models, the Scarlet Mayhem spaceship and Garden Gnome sculpture.Well it turns out I bought a lot of LEGO. Way too much in fact. So much that I had to buy a 5-piece luggage set (3 suitcases, a handbag, and a toiletries bag) and all 3 suitcases were basically packed full of LEGO. [...]

Tedward: thanks for noticing the belt loops. I never used them before in a sculpture. The only other one I made with a belt was my Leprechaun which doesn’t have them. I based the design on this gnome but changed the pants to blue as I didn’t have enough brown bricks handy.

Very nice. I may have to try to do one for my sister who has a love/hate relationship with garden gnomes. Perhaps I will build it and leave it in her garden one night. :)

I escpecially love the detail of the belt loops. Many would simply ignore them so well done!

There’s something to be said for using only basic bricks in a sculpture. (Love the cat!)
