Nothing wrong with silly ideas George. Often it inadvertently enhances the piece as well. Not that your piece needs enhancing of course.

George,

I'm sat here still chuckling at the photos, they bring the piece to life, even give it a life of it's own.

Now there are collectors of Lego figures, you might just have it on a whole new marketing idea there.

Yep...looks like it's about 1.8 metres high x 2.4 metres diameter. Must have been a bugger jam-chucking it!
