Blazing Red

The Red Devils blaze their way to victory once again with the Manchester United badge soaring overhead! This Lego build incorporates the iconic symbols on the football club's crest while also reflecting Man United's great team spirit with the infamous Red Devil looming on the horizon.

Truly a joy to build, this creation uses tons of interesting building techniques, many of which I came up with for this creation! For example, when building the mount for the team's crest, I found out that the 1x4 hinged plate can be securely braced at a 45º angle with a 1x3 plate! This achieved just the effect that I needed for a floating look, while still keeping the macaroni pieces fastened in the right places.

I made the football an enlarged version of the ball on the right side of the Man United badge. The lettering in the foreground proved an interesting challenge, S and D in particular, because they needed to be instantly recognizable, but I am very pleased with how they turned out in the end!
